Comparable to the movie "The Seven Samurai," 7 of today's best skilled men have been assembled to conquer all who cross their path. However, instead of a bushido blade, it's a magic-weilding wand. And instead of Samurai, they are super skilled magicians - and they're ready to slay their victims with the art of astonishment. The show is called "The Illusionists;" a mega-scale magic show that has been touring the nation and will make it's world premiere at the Sydney Opera House on Thursday, according to the The Australian.com. The show hosts a myriad of today's international top wizards, including anti-conjuror Dan Sperry, mentalist Philip Escoffey; escapologist Andrew Basso, alchemist of magic Kevin James and Master illusionist Brett Daniels.
Seems like a uber awesome cast of master magicians... however, the show does not feature women. "Usually the women are the assistants," Basso says. "They are not less important than the artist because sometimes they do most of the jobs... Maybe they are not recognised as much as they deserve." Italian-born Basso, 26, estimates that about 4 per cent of magicians are women. Daniels, who spearheaded the shows casting exclaimed: "Fewer girls were interested in becoming magicians," he says. "However, that's changed recently. In the past five or six years, there are some girls who have become more interested in magic." He tried to get Melinda Saxe (formally known as Melinda: "The First Lady of Magic," and Chinese-born manipulator Juliana Chen in the act. "Neither . . . was available for our show," Daniels says.
The good news is that more women are taking interest in the magical arts and will perhaps someday become magicdom's powerhouses of magic. Women of magic - unite and bring forth the beauty of magic!

Now, anyone can achieve their dreams and aspirations of becoming the next David Copperfield or Criss Angel at the touch of a button... ok, a multitude of buttons, in The Sims 3: Showtime - Limited Edition
If your a gamer, and a magician, then this game's for you.
"As a magician, your Sim begins their career on the streets performing magic tricks for tips. They’ll visit new venues and meet with the owners to book larger gigs and gain experience.
Magicians have unique social interactions that give them the ability to perform small-scale tricks on other Sims such as pulling a coin from an ear and making butterflies and doves magically appear. As magicians level up, they acquire new objects that can be used on-stage. For some magical fun, your Sims can use the Box of Mystery to perform the “swords of destiny” by carefully placing knives through the box without stabbing the Sim inside. Beware the Box of Danger! If a Sim fails at correctly executing their tricks with this object, death may come calling." I wonder if you accidentally dismember your lovely assistant, the Sims world would incarcerate you in a prison swapping cigs with a 'Sim' Charlie Manson? Watch out for that digital bar of soap! |
