There’s a whole bunch of magic on TV right now. I got this following list from the MAGIC eUpdate. If you subscribe to MAGIC magazine (and I sure hope you already do) then you will get this eNewsletter as well, but for those of you who do not… here it is.
“One Way Out
Monday, February 2nd, 9 and 9:30pm Discovery
The premise for escapologist Jonathan Goodwin’s new half-hour show One Way Out was first introduced to American viewers last April during a Discovery Channel special of the same name. During each of these ten episodes, Goodwin will be placed in elaborate and extreme situations by his team, only to then be left alone to find his way out. The first two episodes, airing back-to-back Monday evening, send the show’s host careening off a high-dive, tumbling down a hill in a locked barrel, and attempting to free himself from a rapidly spinning chair.
The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
February 2nd ? 6th, 12:35am, CBS
Last April, television talk-show host Craig Ferguson saw Rick Thomas performing in Las Vegas, launching an affinity for the art of magic that would result in a week full of prominent magic talent taking the stage at his studio. Beginning Monday, The Late Late Show’s ?Magic Week? returns with Lance Burton on Monday, Jason Randal on Tuesday, Jason Hudy on Wednesday, and Ed Alonzo on Thursday. Rumor has it that Craig may try his hand at the magic for the Friday show. When scheduling your TiVo, remember that The Late Late Show actually airs very early in the morning, Tuesday through Saturday..

Women in Boxes
Monday, February 9th, 9pm, DOC
Taking an inside look at the lives of magician’s assistants the world over, Women In Boxes makes its television debut on DOC, The Documentary Channel, on February 9th. The 90-minute film focuses solely on women who have spent their lives working with some of magic’s most well-known performers. Included are Pam Thompson, Diana Zimmerman, Gay Blackstone, Coral Reveen, Francis Willard, Deana Shimada, Irene Larsen, Jan Jones, Nanci Keener, and more. If your cable package doesn’t include this documentary-only channel, DVD ordering information can be found on the film’s website: http://www.womeninboxes.com”
Up here in Canada we don’t get the Masters of Illusion show, but it looks like bits and pieces of it is appearing on YouTube.
