Stuff like this is why the internet was invented. Only on such a specialized platform could an inside joke of this magnitude be executed and distributed to those who would find it the funniest. You. Are. Those. People.

iTricks regular Matt Schick is promoting a show entitled Beyond Belief on January 30th, 2010. Tickets are on sale now and Matt has a special offer for all iTricks readers who purchase tickets to the show headlined by Mac King and featuring Chad Juros and Matt himself.
We will give out a free 11 X 17″ poster to anyone who says they are from iTricks and our performers will have no problem signing them.
(These will not be sold after the show so these people will be “special” =)
All proceeds go to the Spread the Magic Foundation, a New Jersey non-profit organization that spreads hope to children battling cancer.
Good cause? Free signed poster?
The Las Vegas Sun compiled a list of All Hallows Eve plans for who’s who in Vegas. Check out the full list on their site but here’s our favorite from Nathan Burton…
Magician Nathan Burton
Burton will be performing a 4 p.m. show at the Flamingo today and is hoping to see lots of kids in costumes. Rather than handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, he’s doing something a little more eccentric.
“I have plans to attend a séance for Houdini at midnight,” Burton said. “Nothing says Halloween more than a séance for a world-famous, deceased magician.”
Real original, Burton.
Mac King, Penn & Teller and Criss Angel’s plans revealed in the original Sun article.
