Famous Illusionist Penn Jillette Lists Colorful Las Vegas Residence for $2.1 Million

Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller, the famous magician duo, has reportedly put his candy-color Las Vegas compound on the open listing market for a good $2.1 million.

According to USA Today, Jillette calls his home "the house of a 12-year-old with a lot of money".

Listing records of the residence state that the house is a 7932 square feet home sitting on a 8.59 acre lot. Comprising of seven bedrooms and ten bathrooms, the house is a double story single family residence that reminds one of an amusement park.

However, interiors of the home are done with great taste that boast of hardwood flooring and huge glass windows and doors. Living spaces include a large drawing room, multiple family rooms, a dining area, a den and an office. The home has a modern kitchen with a breakfast bar and a laundry.

Outside, the home has a private pool, an in-ground spa, a barbecue, a covered patio and ample seating areas.

The listing describes the home as:

"Fabulous Modern Style SW Las Vegas Compound with over 8.5 acres. This is one of the most unique and private homes in Vegas, commercial quality const. ,14 seat movie theater, prof. recording studio, Creston system, double gated w/ security system & cameras all over. Colorful, Modern style w/ great features, Master Suite w/ private office, seating room, rooftop balcony w/ amazing Mt/Strip views, and access to the courtyard."

Penn and Teller were ranked seventh in About.com's list of the "World's Best Magicians".  The website calls the pair "perhaps the most respectable magicians in the lay public's eyes".

Penn is an atheist, like most magicians. Most illusionists say that their work makes them think of faith as "hocus-pocus". Penn once challenged a conservative radio host to come up with the "10 commandments" of atheists. The list includes "keeping promises", "not stealing" and "not wasting too much time wishing or hoping".
