Excuse the title.. but the show was really called that.

Did anybody else see this last night? I thought it was rather good, and much more entertaining that the mentalist.
Its story line, was set at a magic convention.( though its clear that the writer has never been to one )
the headline acts, die off one by one in a number of bizzare ways.

people drop dead in the streets, their bodys stabbed 13 times, yet no puncture marks on their clothing. a chris angel wanabe..( the title comming from a remark made by this bitter copyist) is hung, in his hotel room, at the same time as a performer is displaying an effect with a noose...

on each body, a tarot card is found, depicting the way that the victim died.. all rather spooky stuff.

in between the plot, there was some really nice card work.

but as happens all too often, i didnt get a chance to see who was the hands behind the cards.
If it's repeated, its well worth watching.

Supernatural is one of my favourite shows. It gets repeated on a Thursday night at 11.00 pm if anyone wants to check it out.

I thought it was pretty good and the title was just genius

Yup - saw and enjoyed it although, as Dale mentioned, the writers don't have much idea about magic performance - the same curtains and reveal for the Spikes Illusion and the Noose Illusion? Not even the Masked Magician would do that! The bit at the end where the Magish can't shuffle or cut the cards without dropping them in an untidy heap was very familiar - that's me that is !
