After Gabe's rather non-sequitor post yesterday, here are a few random magic-related tidbits I've been collecting:
- How many of you saw the rerun of "Dinner: Impossible" that featured Chef Robert Irvine cooking for the Magic LIVE convention? It was nifty to see them make "illusion food," or food that wasn't what it looked like. It was also nice to see a few names like Max Maven and Marvin Roy commenting on the meal. If you watch close, you can catch glimpses of Jeff Hobson and Bill Malone, two of my personal favorite magicians.
But, according to a story first reported in a Florida newspaper, Chef Robert fabricated parts of his resume, and so the Food Network is canceling his show over the controversy. The Chef claimed he cooked (chefed?) for the British Royal Family and a few U.S. Presidents here and there. I guess it was a deceiver cooking for a deceiver convention...
- Speaking of the Royal Family, I have no idea where this stuff really comes from (oh wait, it's from my Google Alert), but according to GuruBlog, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (yes, the Queen of England) fancies a career in the performing and conjuring arts once her son takes over the throne.
Let's hope it's not a Royal Scam the Queen is pulling ("Her Maj" to her friends), nor is it a Royal Fantasy. If Her Maj is going to start working up a magic act, she should take the Royal Road to Card Magic and not become Wandering Royalty.
Oh mercy... that's about all the puns I have strength for today. See you on Monday!

I didn't see 'dinner: impossible.'
Did Jeff comment at all?
No official comment from Jeff. You could just hear him saying to someone else how delicious the food was.
I believe the official comments came from Max Maven, Mr. Electric, and one other I can't remember.
