Remember That Show Where a Magician Revealed All His Secrets?

Magic can be really cool. It’s inspiring. It’s beautiful. It’s mysterious. This show I’ll be talking about, Breaking the Magician’s Code, is absolutely none of that.

Today, I’ll be unearthing some long-forgotten memories of that one show we saw on TV occasionally where a magician ruined the art of magic for everyone, while the narrator treated his assistants like slabs of meat who did 99% of the work. What results is a Fox-made cringe concoction that can only be enjoyed by literal stupid people. I hate this show and everything about it, but if that one PA is watching this, my dude, I hope you’re having a great life right now because you deserve it.

If anyone’s looking for me, I’ll just be over here simping for Shin Lim.
