Siegfried & Roy - Masters of the Impossible.jpg

Cementing it as even more of a reality, Siegfried and Roy have resigned their website to hype their one-night-only comeback they plan on making in 2009. The following text is under the photo…

Magicians of the century, Siegfried & Roy will perform a brief, one-night only, magical spectacular on Feb. 7, 2009 at Keep Memory Alive’s “Power of Love” Gala to benefit the mission of Lou Ruvo’s Brain Institute. The legendary duo will take the stage again for the first time since Oct. 3, 2003, and finally deliver a highly-anticipated encore performance that thousands of fans have been asking for for years. Siegfried & Roy’s return to the stage will be an unforgettable experience, a worldwide phenomenon as the pair once again dominates the art of mystery and magic leaving audiences as they always have-in wonder and amazement for years to come.

Tip of the hat to Sammy Cortino for spotting this. Set your Google Calendars accordingly…

Penn Says- Bruno | Crackle - Stream On.jpg

Sony is set to launch a new multi-platform comedy channel entitled The C-Spot which will feature a Best Of Penn Says as part of it’s initial launch slate. Viewers can catch C-Spot programming on websites like Crackle and Youtube, mobile phones and even the new Bravia television set using the internet link capabilities.

Here is how they describe the new weekly Penn compilation…

Whether he is riffing on the presidential race; reluctantly defending an anti-gay protest as a First Amendment right; or ranting on the latest celebrity trainwreck, Penn Jillette isn’t afraid to share his outspoken, unique point-of-view and unwavering opinions on the hottest, most current and sensitive topics. Penn turns the cameras on whenever and wherever inspiration hits him – maybe backstage at his show in Vegas, in a famous friend’s living room, on the road, or wherever else Penn may find himself that day.

Others shows that will join Says include Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show, The Roadents, Gaytown, The Writers Room and Hot, Hot Los Angeles.

This week’s guest is the awesome Daniel Garcia who along with releasing a slew of products over the next few weeks has also taken on a new gig, consulting for David Blaine’s new special. “Little birdies” have spotted him in NYC with Blaine over the last month, but now you can hear how he got there from the man himself.

You can also hear DG’s prowess at the game Quarters, if he thinks Penn can convert some of the Dancing With The Stars audience after his elimination from the show as well as some unexpected movie chatter and film recommendations.

This is a MUST LISTEN for Garcia fans.

It’s all this week on the Magic Week in Review, going live on this very page and on iTunes only a few hours from now…
