The talent corrdinator from NBC for this program emailed me. There is not site lised with audition dates or anything that I am aware of. I was ent a onpage flyer with the information on it. and was told to call her and be put on the VIP reserve list for auditions. It is an open call audition. But I have not exactly heard back from her yet on details. It should be in a few days. yes its for the same show.

Well, here you go my magic friends. I have all the info you are looking for. I just want to say please don't go into this type of show thinking that they are going to be nice to you. I have done a reality show before and they love to edit things up to make you look the fool. So if you are not going to bring your A game then you should not go to this. That simply means, if you do anything that has Chinese airbrushed writing on it or prism tape you are not right for this event. But, here it goes for all of you seeking fame and fortune....

I got a call and then an email (VIP too) I think its probably just like the open call. Perhaps they will have cookies and coffee while we wait though

Technically it's not a "VIP" audition, but a "closed" audition, meaning not the open cattle call you are used to seeing on American Idol.

Well I'm going to Atlanta to audition. It doesn't seem like the showis all planned out yet. They haven't told me much about the call backs and what will happen, etc. Like Brandon said, I am a little worried about the exposure too. Especially on the show with multiple camera angles, bad lighting, etc. Well just have to wait and see what happens...

Although this show MAY produce some new discovery I'm more positive that its real purpose is to give the tv viewing audience more of this http://www.abum.com/show/13506/american_idol_putdowns.html

Again Mr. Drake speaks with wise words. This show is looking to find the next star but in that process it will leave many bodies and egos in its wake. I think a lot of you have some false ideas that people will treat you kindly and not rip you apart on this show. If you are doing card tricks, linking rings, and the sort I honestly feel that you are going to be over your head. Not that those aren't good effects but they are looking for the next BIG act, not the next close up show or birthday party show. I am just giving some words of advise based on what I have been told by the producers to help you all out. They are hoping for birthday party magicians to show up because they are going to rip them up like in the above video. I think a lot of you really need to look at your act and ask yourself if it is the next BIG act for Vegas.

I have been contacted by the producers and I think they are looking for not waiting for the next Idol. Remember stepping on a Las Vegas stage with an hour and a half of great material that is solid is a very big task. There is only a handfull of guys that could do that and not get humiliated. So be aware the some of the posts are right and they will make you look foolish not to say make magic look foolish. They now what they are looking for and will find it.

How can a person judge a magician? They may have a great crowd one night, terrible the next. Whats more amazing, a singer or a magician? Simon Cowell will be the laymen judging the magician! Who knows, for all he knows the invisible deck could be a miracle, maybe if they had real magicians judge a private magicain event. Oh wait they do! FISM, IBM conventions, SAM conventions. Does anyone see anything wrong with this?

A few more things to keep in mind before you rush to audition.
Keep in mind that you will have seconds to impress the panel before you get a " Ok...thanks...thats enough" If its not something they haven't seen before you're in trouble. These judges are going to see a millions appearing card fans and will dismiss you quickly no matter how flawlessly you perform it. Too bad they don't include a real magician to act as buffer to simon's layman comments. Simon was recently on the Tonight Show to promote his new invention show. Although he is only producing and will not be a judge he was boasting how there is a terribly abnoxious judge who insults the people demonstrating their inventions. Can you see a pattern here ????? Obnoxious comments from judges are a big part of the entertainment of these shows so be prepared. Best, Tim |

For those who really believe that Simon is looking for talent and not just looking to entertain america at other peoples expense take a look at the latest show from his latest production. This is the show that is supposed to be looking for "the next great invention" while his next show is looking for " the next Sigfreid and Roy"...yeah right.

Well these competition shows are evreywhere, top models, entrapaneurs, dating, magic, music, all on TV...I' m not sure how popular this is going be, probably a cable show if it even becomes a show...I saw a spoof about the next great pope competition on a Lampoon DVD...Wonder what's next thing they will come up with? Maybe an inside look at Microsoft's hiring programmers or has that already been done?

Hey Tim,
Do you think the Bladder Buddy will work on stage? What a comedy act that would be!

I am attending this audition. However the audition is a closed audition. This audition will only be filemed with a few people in the room with you. The recording will then be taken back to the exects at NBC and they will decide who they fell will do good (or bad)on the program. You will then be contatced to do a call back in which you will be flown out to LA to do a real taping in front of Judges. I PRAY that no one shows up doing hippty hop rabbits...... Because this show should be taken seriouls for the magic communitty. Give your best and nothing less. Me personally Im not planning on going any further than Alanta but who know mabey I will get to LA We shall See. Anyone knwo what they are going to perform? Are you doing A routie to music or A talking routine?
