Mike Super is The Phenomenon!

~

Mike Super wins NBC's reality show Phenomenon - the search for the next great mentalist version of American Idol.

Here's one of his best performances during the series:





Mike Super has been creating the impossible since the age of six. Mystifying people has truly been his life's passion and obsession. He has entertained audiences across the country and celebrities including Regis Philibin and Joan Rivers. Mike was named America's 2003 Entertainer of the Year by Campus Activities magazine. His appeal to both young and old alike has made him one of the most sought after mystifiers.

Phenomenon: The Finals

~

Just posting an update in case people don't know it's already Finals week for Phenomenon. Here are the finalists and I think the winner will be announced this Wednesday.

Eran Raven

Guy Bavli

Mike Super

Angela Funovits


I just have to say that Angela won my respect as a mentalist. She was the only one among the 9 guys who did a decent cold-reading effect.

I'm counting on Mike Super or Guy Bavli to win the show though. Guy, for me is the remaining genuine mentalist remaining but Mike Super is huge on stage presence.

Download the episodes before you watch the finale this Wednesday!

And I think we can vote on the website to support our fave contestant!

1st TSC Level-up Jam Gathering!

~

Free Wallpaper! Download your free desktop background and don't forget to sign-up on TSC's 1st Level-up Jam Gathering!




TSC members: This is your chance to get certified - this is your chance to tell the country and the world that you're a real TSC Spartan!

Mechanics:

1. Only members who have made a minimum of 4 attendances may sign-up.

2. Participants should perform a minimum 10-minute routine - any genre of magic will do - mentalism, cards, XCM, coins, bizarre, stage and so on.

3. Participants are judged by the committee and other certified members.

4. NO mistakes this time around. But the performers must remember that the judges will act as laymen will hence mistakes aren't yet official mistakes unless the performer admits it. Better have your back-up routines ready!

5. Those who passed will still need to be interviewed individually before getting certified. This may be done on another day or after the gathering.
