What happens

The Unpleasant World of Penn & Teller is a British magic show presented by Penn & Teller in 1994 on Channel 4. The show featured segments deconstructing magic tricks, while performing some of their signature comedy magic stunts. At the time, while highly popular in the United States, the pair was still unknown outside of the United States, and the show helped expose them to British audiences. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
