It was a teen show I was acting in and I wrote the script for that episode so... I put in some Magic! I did my versions of "Finger Fantasies", "Crazy Man's Handcuffs", "DC's Thumb Cracker", "The Twisting Arm Illusion" and "The Balducci"... If you ever get a chance like this make sure you have some say in the camera shots and editing as some of the tricks came off looking really bad due to bad camera shots..
Anyway that's my experience..

When working on tv shows, you've first of all have to talk with the director and let him know what you want ( or not ) to shoot, I don't see why you need editing. You can perform live and have good shots, it all depends on you, and on the director of the show.
