There's no denying that the While You Were Out team have the magic touch, but our magic is no match for master magicians Penn & Teller. Long known for fooling audiences worldwide with their stage stunts, Penn Jillette has instead decided to trick his partner, Teller. He's called the While You Were Out team to distract Teller and redesign their backstage green room, where they entertain VIPs and celebrities after their nightly Vegas show.

Realizing that Penn & Teller are uniquely offbeat, designer Mark Montano steps up to the challenge of creating a room as unconventional as its occupants. Mark's plans are part Alice in Wonderland, part Willy Wonka, and all fabulous! Who else could design a room that includes monkeys, zebras, Astroturf, and chairs hanging upside-down?

While Penn and the WYWO team juggle tasks to complete the design, Teller is being followed by our secret shooter as part of a fictitious BBC documentary on magic. But the team kicks into overdrive when Teller decides to come to work early — two hours early! How well can we stall Teller when he's in the building, just around the corner? As usual, it takes a lot of work and a little magic.
