One of the best things I remember about television programing growing up in the 80's and 90's was the annual magic TV specials that we'd get from Lance Burton, Copperfield, and others. I believe there was even a serriel called Champions of Magic or something like that as well that showcased the whose who in the business at that time.
Now days, we're lucky to get a David Blaine special once a year. Masters of Illusion is certainly trying to pick up the slack, but it can only do so much. Valentino seems to be getting more screen time than Blaine. Of course there is also Angel's "Mind Freak" but is it fair enough to say that this show has run it's course? I think Criss's next stunt in season four will be jumping a swiming pool filled with sharks while blindfolded.
As sort of a fun, mind tingler I wanted to perpose this idea to you all. If you were the producer of the newest, most exciting TV magic special who would you cast, why, and what kind of magic would you want to focus on?
Go on, pitch me!
