We’re starting the day off with the new trailer for Dealt the documentary about Richard Turner from IFC, which will hit video on demand services and select theaters on October 20.

The Royal Gazette (the fanciest newspaper we have ever heard of at iTricks Tower Midwest) spoke with Reza about his upcoming shows in Bermuda and performing with his girlfriend/assistant Christa Kemnitz.

The British are apparently obsessed with Strictly Come Dancing so it should come as no surprise that MSN Entertainment News has quotes from Debbie McGee about her ambitions to do better on the show than her late husband, magician Paul Daniels.

Speaking of magicians and British reality TV, Hafid Good is literally gearing up for Britain’s Got Talent 2018 and has a Kickstarter campaign to help finance his perfect magic show. Learn more about his fundraising campaign (and decide if you want to contribute) on Kickstarter.

Finally, Daniel Martin is performing a magic show at the Michigan Theater in Jackson, MI on Friday, September 29 to do a little fundraising, but his proceeds will be going to the Council for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. You can hear more about the charity here and learn more about the show at the CPCAN website.

Ran across this clip on YouTube from Cher’s variety show that saw the singer stepping into the role of magician’s assistant for guest Mark Wilson. According to the posting YouTuber (C. Colton, who seems to specialize in stage magic clips) this originally aired in September of 1975.

A little something from Jeff McBride on Masters Of Illusion kicks off the day because the TV schedule says that we can still look forward to new episodes of it and Penn & Teller: Fool Us/em> on The CW this week. But the “summer season” can’t last too much longer!
