MTV Crap

This is beautiful magic: it's well thought out, perfectly choreographed, and gorgeous to watch. America's Best Dance Crew had an "illusion challenge week," with Franz Harary giving/teach each group an illusion to incorporate into their dance routine for the week.

The video of this group's routine (which incorporated a Floating Ball) has spread like wildfire over the Web - proof that people really do love a good illusion and being astonished:

Flirting with Magic

Watch and learn.

New Reality Crap

Evidently, casting has begun for a new reality show to find the next great box jumper:

With the "success" of Celebracadabra, I can't imagine a show about magicians' assistants getting too popular. Thoughts?

Street Crap

Oh street magic... how easy ye are to parody. (Stick around until the end.)

The Crap is Right

Formerly "the Internet's Most Downloaded Woman", Cindy Margolis is finally revealing her secret talent to the public.

No, not that talent, you perv.

She's on CBS' new reality TV program, Secret Talents of the Stars, and for her secret talent she's performing magic.

I have no idea if she's going to be good or not, but I'm hoping for three things: (1) she doesn't debase magic ("Wow, magic is so easy!"), (2) she (or CBS) doesn't give away the secret of whatever trick she's doing ("Whoops!"), and (3) it involves cleavage in some way.

Besides, the real magic is that she looks absolutely nothing like the way she was born:

Coincidence? I think not.

THE RETURN

In two weeks...

PAGLIACCI. IS. BACK.

Set your alarms for the return of all that Pagliacci sexiness you've been missing.

Stash your card clip, hide your sponge balls, and lock up the doves - one of the original bloggers of magic is returning.

Stay tuned.
