I think the bigger irony is it's REPLACING, breaking the magician's code. Seems like people enjoy being entertained as oppose to be "educated".

Wow - are you sure this a new series? In the late 90's Gay Blackstone (Harry Jr.'s widow) produced a short series by that name which was hosted by Franz Harary.. I haven't heard of any 'new' updates to the series nor any new series but it would be great to see more magic on television!

Ya, come to think of it, I do remember a E blog posting about this show....


EDIT: It's the 5th post under MAgic on TV section on the E blog tons more info there and this clip from the original show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58GfrfxTNZw&eurl=http://blog.ellusionist.com/category/magic-on-tv/

Yes it is a new serries. I was at the tapping for 4 of the episodes. And Gay is incharge of producing these next 13 episodes too.

It is confirmed. Also, I believe I make a small appearance in one of the episodes too. But I'd need to see the finished reel to be sure of it.

Awesome!

My friend Farrell Dillon will also be on the show, doing his stage act, and some Street Magic on Hollywood BLVD. I think he will be on the first episode, but maybe not.
