Anyone watch this show on NBC? It's on Wednesdays (8-9 p.m. ET) on NBC.
They have 10 different people who do various stunts with magic. People can call in to vote for these people. Last week they voted off 4 people. Tonight they had a 2 hour special. The judges are Criss Angel and Uri Geller.

Uri Geller told me to not watch the show....with his mind!!!
Phenomenal.
I was a sucker and watched the 1st 2 eps.
He did a card "trick" in the 1st one where there were symbols on them. Circle, star, square, and something else.
Anyway prior to the show he wrote down a symbol and sealed in an envelope and locked box. Then he had the home audience open their minds to his powers and he would tell us what to think of and he would get it right.
Something like 28% guessed star (which is what he wrote down).
Apparently that was enough to have the host and Uri claim his powers are real.
And it is terrible. Horrible. Mind blowingly sucky.
I bet if they had a bunch of dead guys, trapped in water under the stage, it would liven things up a bit.

I caught about half of this last night. The most entertaining trick was a guy who took a bracelet and dropped it into a vase, and in 3 other vases put in snakes, 2 venomous, one not. He then used his "mindpower" to have the woman assistant(from Girls Next Door) show him where the bracelet was. So the first vase he reaches into wham screams like a baby bitten by a snake. Turns out it was the non poisonous rat snake, even the snake handler said you are one lucky guy. So he decides he wants to go on and winds up getting the necklace on the next try.
The worst trick had all 3 of Hef's women involved and a paintball gun. They took turns shooting different colored paintballs at the "magician". Most of the shots missed but 3 hit, different colors, on his white coat. Then he hands over a tube and inside is a sheet of paper with the same 3 colors in the same 3 places on the coat, so he predicted the location and colors of the hits.
Of course given that movies and tv shows do that with bullets all the time I'm assuming he simply had 3 different color paint pellets inside the jacket and broke them to simulate the hits, and since he knew in advance calling it was easy?
Stupid show, I was waiting for Bionic Woman to start but I fell asleep early in that anyways.

I happened to catch this last night, too. I thought that was the worst one. His theatrics were terrible.
I also thought the acid-tasting one was a bad trick. If I can figure it out (none of the jars contained acid, the reaction came from something in the tin foil), it's a bad trick.
As for the paint ball thing, I thought his stage presence was pretty good and I don't think the trick was as simple as you make it out to be. The laser-sight was clearly off (which I think is problematic for the reality of the trick), but they seemed to be "consistently" off. I could tell where the ball would hit based on the first miss. So, (for me at least) there was an apparent element of chance.

The first was entertaining because he apparently really got bit(morbid I guess). and that one woman in the crowd looked like she was about to faint several times which was entertaining.
On the acid one I have to admit I was guessing the acid just smelled different or somehow it was obvious up close but not from a distance. I didn't think about the something in the foil but that makes more sense.
Not sure on the 3rd one my guess was like they use fake blood caplets in tv and movies they were doing that with paint so he knew in advance where the stains would be?
