    very cool stuff… Just think: pretty soon E is gonna be full of traffic. Wait a sec, if everybody is a magician, who will I perform magic for?

    Yeah I really hope that stigmata and mindbender isn’t on the show, they are my two best effects….especially since mindbender is GREAT for shooting down hecklers….

    I cannot WAIT until this show premieres. I was never interested in watching ‘Phenomenon’ seeing as I’m not the biggest Criss Angel fan in the world…but knowing that E is behind this show makes me want to watch it even more.

    Thats awesome that hes wearing an Ellusionist shirt. Just noticed it. I’m assuming they will have commercials playing during the episodes…can’t wait to see those.

    what i get out of this is that celebrities perform and magicians coach them, like dancing with the stars.

    At first I thougt this was a great idea, but now I’m having second thoughts. Not to be negitive but I would like to be able to perform magic without any one knowing where I learned it from. I think it’s great that is Ellusionist getting there name out there, but I fear for my magic just a little.

    yeah, i agree with this guy up there, i dont want magic to be so publicized, if evveryone does magic, the reactions that i do it for will be gone, all of the oh my gods will turn into, aww man, u got that from E!!! i mean, yea i want u guys to be successful, but i dont want you guys to only care about money, u know what i mean?

    I’m getting excited about this new show. I wonder who will be the celebrity magicians. I just hopw no exposures will be done on magic. I hope this show will inspire budding magicians.

Got something to say?
