Boy, I'm way behind in watching AGT. I watched the one hour special of talent acts from around the world the other night, the last judge cuts this morning, and I'm in the middle of the first live episode right now. I don't have a lot to say about it at this point, especially since it's been so long. I did get it spoiled that Piff made it through, which makes me happy.
I don't know if I'm ever going to get around to writing about Fool Us. That's an amazing show, and if you're not watching it, you should be. It's recently been renewed for a third season, which is awesome. Looking forward to lots and lots of new episodes. One thing I've been thinking about: I would pay a decent amount of money for a "magicians only" DVD set of the show. Something where all the people, whether they fooled them or not, take us through what they did. Not necessarily "I used a gimmicked deck and here's step by step how to make it," but even something like "I used a gimmicked deck, it's got a magnet in it." Some of the shit that I see really gets me, and I would love to know the workings behind it, even if just to say "Aw shit, that's brilliant!" If anyone reading this has an in to make this happen, make it happen.
I've been thinking the past couple weeks that this blog has kinda turned into me watching magic on TV and writing about it. It wasn't my intention to be a magic TV review blog. I do have stuff I want to say, and I find myself not getting around to it because when I do write it ends up being about what happened on Don't Blink or live blogging a three week old episode of AGT. I think I'm going to pull back a little on the talking about TV magic and get more into talking about theory and some other stuff that's been on my mind.
Until next time.
