This is not magic. However, you all know I am a HUGE fan of the Muppets and Jim Henson. And there is a whole bunch of really emotionally draining stuff going on in the world and maybe we just all need to take a moment. Finally, with all the attention Star Wars properties are getting from Disney+ coverage some of you might not realize The Muppets are back and streaming on the service, too.
So, no politics, no opinions from me or iTricks. Just a simple message: have a great, safe weekend.
KTNV Las Vegas checked in with Xavier Mortimer to see how he is still entertaining fans despite the fact his Vegas show has been dark for weeks.
It’s Friday! Which is good… but I honestly thought yesterday was Friday until about 4 PM so today is kind of bittersweet after yesterday’s crushing disappointment. But Friday brings a new Masters Of Illusion on The CW tonight. Speaking of TV magic, Justin Willman (star of Netflix’s Magic For Humans) zoomed into The Late, Late Show with James Corden earlier this week. If you have not done it yet, you can binge season three of Magic For Humans this weekend.
Glenn Keeley was the resident magician on Kids News back in the 1980s… I can’t say that I am familiar with the show but this afternoon a little retro TV magic seems like a good way to end the day.
Douglas “Lefty” Leferovich shared this clip of his appearance on the most recent Masters of Illusion, which you can stream for free over on The CW’s website if you missed it last Friday.
I mean personally, I do not think I can quite categorize this as a magic act… but that is kind of how Jen and Daiquiri billed themselves last night on America’s Got Talent. We’ll see, I guess, if they continue their magic theme in future appearances.
French magician Florian Sainvet, a veteran of The Illusionists and Now You See Me live tours, hit the America’s Got Talent stage last night with his CD manipulation act.
