I did a quick search (very so im sorry if this is old news to all of you), but didnt find this one.
My favourite Magician/Comedian/All-around prankster Jay Sankey has signed a deal to come up with original magic concepts to Criss Angel's "Mindfreak"-show. Any thoughts on this? I know Jay is so versatile, so Im sure he can think routines that will work with Angels concept, but the idea itself is kinda funny, as the two chaps are very different in styles.

"Jay Sankey is an amazingly creative magician who always thinks outside the box. That's why he is part of the Mindfreak Team." –Criss Angel, star of A&E’s MINDFREAK
In October 2006 Jay Sankey, president and founder of the Toronto-based company SANKEY MAGIC just signed an exclusive deal to develop an original collection of magic effects for the hit A&E series MINDFREAK starring Criss Angel.
In September 2006, Criss Angel and David Baram (president of the LA-based entertainment agency The Firm) contacted Sankey and asked him to "get on the next plane to Vegas." Two days later, Sankey sat-in on a brainstorming session with Angel's creative team in one of the lavish penthouse suites of Las Vegas’ Luxor hotel.
Soon afterwards, Sankey was officially offered the job of developing a minimum of 40 original magic concepts for the upcoming third season of MINDFREAK on A&E.
