Incredible magic this guy performs and, according to the disclaimer, it's not doctored video or special effects. If true, I think this guy truly is magic like a real wizard of some sort. It's freaky some of the tricks he does and you just go, 'How in the f*** did he do that?". Some of the stuff he does is just flat out unbelievable. It's a series with ~ 7 episodes (20 min each) for 3 seasons. I happen to love really clever magic and this guy slays me.

There are other guys that do the stuff he does like David Blane and the like. Very impressive, but he has one of the better personalities and is one of the most entertaining of them all. Agree it’s a good, easy watch.

I don't get magic. Or I should say, I think these are neat and that parlor tricks are amusing.. but it's still just "tricks". None of those admittedly great AGT magic acts ever made me think "whoa, this guy's magic!".. instead I think "ok, what isn't he telling us?"

Until I can point to an object in a room and a magician can move it, pass.. otherwise it's video taped, it's preset up on a stage, it's a "random" person in a crowd. Magic always has some sort of "setup" that keeps the audience in the dark, and we're supposed to be amused when a magician somehow guesses the 4 of Diamonds.

Yea. I think being able to trick the human eye and mind to the point of wonderment is enough... I mean, I know dinosaurs don't still exist, but it was cool going to the theatre when Jurassic Park first came out and feeling like those SOB's were eating people.

Illusion, Michael. A trick is something a ***** does for money.

Pro wrestling at least has personalities. I've come to realize why people love it despite knowing it's scripted.

Also if you really talk to any of those wrastler's .. pretty sure they will tell you "oh yeah, this is all predetermined"

But good luck getting Phil Dunfee to tell you that magic isn't real..

Mom and Dad went to Copperfields show for Dad's birthday. Dad was picked randomly out of the audience to help with a trick. Very very cool.
