I am wondering if anyone knows who the first magician in these series of Sprint commercials is. Is he known? (And I'm not talking about Sigfreid and Roy!)

~Priest~

What happens in the commercial? i.e. What does said magician do in the commercial? Maybe I've seen it, I just need some clarification.

I have seen it only once. He does a little card manip. and a few other tricks it is a white backdrop, and a small base table.

I swear I read who he was somewhere on this board but I'll be dern if I can find the thread any more.

Wait a tick, I remember now it is for Cingular Wireless

I think I heard somewhere that he is just an actor that was taught those effects for the commercial. I'm almost sure someone mentioned this at The Magic Castle last week.
The funny thing is I got a bunch of calls just after it started playing because I had just submitted some spec commercials that dealt with magic... but they weren't stolen because mine use the magic of Shoot Ogawa.

Thanks x-treem! Also for clearing up the fact that it is Cingular and not Sprint.

My mistake!

~P~

The magicians name is Justin Kredible & he was also on 30 Seconds To Fame (as I stated in a post on an earlier topic)

I was mistaken. He is not just an actor, but a fellow magician. The guys in Hollywood Magic told me the full story. Apparently Justin needed to get a bunch of magic for the commercial audition because his stuff was lost or stolen. He bought just about everything you see in the commercial and went on to get the part and use all the apparatus. Great story.
