David Copperfield Brings Magic to The Amazing Race (and crushes all posers)

Magic meets Reality TV when David Copperfield teams up with The Amazing Race television show.  This sounds like another first in magic for the World's Greatest Illusionist as he will be training the teams to do magic.  They must master the art of illusion or... die?  Of course we know it has to be an illusion, simply because all reality tv is fake.  Performing an illusion on a fake reality show seems like something that might have the potential to start an infinite loop, rip a hole in space-time, end the world, etc.  That's another reason you wouldn't want to miss it.

It's coming up on the 18th, it's called the "Do You Believe in Magic" episode.  Here's the promo video:

It looks exciting and Copperfield looks great.  Judging from the reaction the clip seems to be getting on Youtube, Facebook and other social media, the world is ready for some honest-to-goodness MAGIC again.  There's a whole generation that's never known anything but camera tricks and half-baked magicians.  The Jim Carrey character in Burt Wonderstone pretty much sums up the general public's view of magic and it's been that way for quite some time now.

We'd like to think that Copperfield has noticed this phenomenon and is returning to network tv to crush all magic posers.  We envision him sipping water from the fountain of youth on Musha Cay, growing stronger and younger by the minute and chuckling quietly to himself as he watches Criss Angel grow old and feeble.  We envision him plotting, planning and preparing to reappear and restore tv magic to it's rightful state with a brand new special.

David, we understand that when you have a fountain of youth, you're in no rush.  But some of us can't wait.

Make a new television special.  Set the bar high again please. 

The future of magic depends on it.

What's the Real Secret Behind Fearson's WWW?

The introductory special has ended.  But at $10 it's still a terrific value.  This is an original illusion based on a new principle developed by Steve Fearson.  Although the illusion depends on the latest technologies, it has actually been in development for over 10 years.

Over a decade ago, Steve spent an entire year working on a top-secret magic project along with two other leading magic creators, oriented entirely around the internet and technology.  The project was ahead of it's time and was abandoned.  In 2001 Steve released an updated version of the Wizard phone effect using a popular online messaging service.  It was way back then that he was developing these incredible new concepts.  But most have had to lie dormant, waiting for the proliferation of mobile devices.

Sitting someone down at a PC has never felt very magical.  But these devices are real-life magic wands.   Where a computer seemed to dull the magic, the seemingly unlimited potential and energy around these devices may in fact be assisting the spectator in suspending their disbelief.  As if maybe anything IS possible with these things!  Magic and the mobile are like peanut butter and chocolate.  But only when it's done right.

Prepare to see mobile magic done right.

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone - Movie Review

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone

Starring Steve Carell as Burt Wonderstone, Steve Buscemi as his best friend and partner Anton Marvelton and featuring Jim Carrey as Steve Gray aka BrainRapist, this may be the most star-studded magic related movie released since Tony Curtis played Houdini.  It's been on the radar of magicians worldwide for the past year.  The magic community has been waiting with bated breath to find out whether it's going to be a slam or a slam dunk for magic and the audience's perception of the modern-day Houdini.  Curious also, as to what secrets the movie may hold, or let loose.  With it's release, all has been revealed!

The movie begins with a young Burt, bullied on his way home from school (circa 1983).  Alan Arkin catches his attention as Rance Holloway, a Blackstone Jr-esque character who pitches magic kits on TV.  When Burt gets the Rance Holloway Magic Kit as a gift, he's officially been bitten by the magic bug.  He teams up with fellow outcast Anton who becomes his best friend and magic partner.  Cut to Las Vegas, 15 or so years in the future and they're headlining as Burt and Anton, A Magical Friendship.

We catch up with them just as their act beginning to lose favor with the audience, due to a new kid on the block, Steve Gray aka Brain Rapist.  Steve Gray is basically Criss Angel doing David Blaine style stunts with an insane twist.

When Burt and Anton try to update their own act by incorporating an extreme stunt, everything goes wrong and in the ensuing chaos they break up the act.  And their friendship.  Burt is fired from the casino and reduced to performing at children's parties and becomes the house magician at a senior center.  Lo and behold... who happens to be a resident at the senior center?  Rance freaking Holloway!!  You can pretty much figure out what happens from here.  I'm not going to give away all the details.

The movie was funny pretty much all the way through.  Steve Carell is always funny but here he proves once again he has absolutely no range.  His character was clueless arrogant Michael from The Office.  There was even a sequence after he got fired and wanted to stay at his former assistant's house, (Olivia Wilde) that paralleled an episode of the Office virtually exactly.

Steve Buscemi is a fantastic actor but his portrayal of Anton fluxuated between annoying and effeminate, never seeming to quite find just the right balance.

Olivia Wilde was cast well as an aspiring magicianne' working backstage and then as the assistant.  She is also the love interest in the movie but that's neither here nor there since the movie failed to build on the relationship.  It wasn't convincing or necessary.

Alan Arkin was fantastic as Rance Holloway.  He made an appearance in a lesser-known movie titled "Magicians", years ago where he played the head of a magic club, also to great effect.  He really seems to know something about magic.  Or maybe just acting.  Either way, he nailed it.  Check out the movie Magicians for a quick performance of Steve Fearson's Floating Cigarette, the predecessor to Fearson's Master Levitation System.

David Coppefield appeared in a brief cameo.  Jay Moore also appeared and completely stunk up the screen.

Though the movie was enjoyable, it definitely could have been better.  The script would not be seen as clever or very creative from the point of view of the typical movie-goer.  But with the screenplay having been written by a magician, the magicians in the audience will likely get a bit more out of it.  Although it's a comedy that capitalizes on the truly ridiculous aspects of magic, the story is about the meaning of magic and Burt recapturing the wonder and the feeling of astonishment that got him into magic in the first place.  It could have done a better job of tying it all together, but magicians are going to feel all warm and fuzzy inside when they watch The Incredible Burt Wonderstone.  And maybe a bit upset at the very beginning, when the Thumb Tip is blatantly exposed.  But you'll get over it.

All-in-all the movie is a lot of fun and a must-see for any magician or magic fan.
