The Magician's Alliance hates The Moxie

Written by Dan

Tonight is our ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT MARATHON at The Belmonte! Woo hoo!!! I just picked up 49 chocolate-dipped bananas covered with various goodies: toasted coconut, chocolate sprinkles, crushed peanuts, and toasted almonds. I'm also taking over a giant cooler filled with tasty Fitz sodas (root beer, cream soda, and orange). The Belmonte will be providing a peanut butter and jelly bar, along with some nice warm tea. Unfortunately, I was unable to procure an illusionist. It's like I've been banned from the Magician's Alliance! I was hoping to get Tony Wonder. We're still going to have a blast - illusionist or not!

And for those of you who were curious, we're playing the episodes in sequential order - starting from the extended pilot to... whenever we're done. As a longtime AD fan, I would've loved to bounce around from episode to episode, but what about the people who aren't as familiar with the show? Fans and non-fans alike can appreciate the show in sequential order. I'm bringing season 2 with me though... just in case. Hope to see some of you there!

It's really a shame that this had to come on the same night as an Underoath show.

Did you hear that there was a Bluth Family estate sale yesterday? NPR had a little bit about it. Perfect timing ... What would have been even more perfect is if you had the marathon last week when David Copperfield was here. He was a lot of fun, even if a bit self-glorifying. I'm reading "... Kavalier and Clay" again because of it all.

If David Copperfield is so powerful that he can teleport someone from Springfield to Hawaii, he should have been able to magically appear at the show to perform a few tricks last night. What a phony.

Speaking of illusions, there are TWO films about magicians coming out this year. Christopher Nolan's The Prestige (starring Christian Bale & David Bowie - together at last!) and Neil Burger's The Illusionist (starring Edward Norton & Paul Giamatti). Yes, my friends, it is truly a magical year.

You would think David Copperfield could make David Blaine disappear.

David Blaine's next feat: riding in a car for 12 hours with David Copperfield.
