Magic Man

With Jake's name being mention with “Now You See Me”, a movie about a group of the world's greatest illusionists, "who pull off daring bank heists during their performances, showering the profits on their audience" that turns into a cat and mouse game with the authorities and the FBI.

Wait a minute this sounds like Ocean's 11 with ....(dramatic pause and flash of fire)magic.

We know that Jake is a master as disappearing, misdirection, being in two places at once, just somewhere he's not supposed to be. He's worked with pretty blondes who served as the distraction to what is really going on behind the scene, heck he's even mastered magical shoes.

He has all that experience and he can do magic hands.

But can he master the art of prestidigitation? (If he takes it, kids demand to keep all those quarters he will practice pulling out of your ears. )

When you become a magician there needs to be an air of mystery and your image reflects the type of magic you practice.

So Jake if you take the part you have to really think about your look.

Borrow Austin's velvet blazer throw down your best jazz hands, and blow up that hair and

Voila!David Copperfield

Shave the hair off again do the scruff and put yourself back into a bubble ...
Alakazam!
David Blaine

If you throw your Dastan wig and jewelry back on and just add a little eyeliner....
Abracadabra!
Chris Angel
(By the way who is one of the writers of "Now You See It?" It's Boaz Yakin. What's one of his writing credits? PoP.)

Go for the full length extensions and...
Presto!
It's one of the greatest slight of hand and card trick magicians, Ricky Jay back in the day.
(Who by the way was a guest star and writer on Deadwood during the first season)

Your rainbow hoodie, extensions and a moustache.
Magic!
Doug Henninng

You know how to handle a bird.
Hocus Pocus!
Lance Burton

A silent partner and suit... (wait for the explosion)
Penn & Teller.
But that one you gotta call out the bullshit and tell some of the secrets. 'Cause that's the kind of guys they are.

Just one more thing..... there's enough Mumford already.


Proceed wisely Great Gyllenhaalo because you might be able to get out of these,
but even Houdini himself couldn't get out of some of those HW deals that get made that have nothing to do with what's up on the screen.

One of the items, can't remember which one, says Jake is being tapped to play an FBI guy in the movie, not a magician.

Special K said...

Thanks FBI.

One question Jake working through all branches of law? CIA, cop, FBI.

Come we know, you really want to do Walker, Texas Ranger on the big screen.

Hey maybe that's what the beard and the martial arts training is for. : )

Florida Tom said...

Nah the beard is a way to deceive the public into thinking Jake is straight. Haha Good one.

Music Lover said...

What an awesome post today. Very creative. The Letterman pic of Jake is perfect, and I love me some Chris Angel. :)

Special K said...

Just in general terms about the movie,one of the roles as the bank robbing illusionists would be more interesting of a role than a FBI agent. There's more opportunity to stretch in terms of what the character could be, the boundaries are so much wider than a role of an FBI agent

It could be a PR person with access to Austin's twitter posting those tweets while Austin is with hubby.

No, no, Jake's in the front row, remember Austin has to be 20 rows back at concerts right?

Hi SK ;)

Special K said...

Jack you have been very busy over there.

;) said...

Not Jack. Try again sweety ;)

Florida Tom said...

Destiny just saw some coming attractions of the new season for White Collar. One of tha scenes had Bomer shirtless. All I can say is WOW!

Florida Tom said...

That tweet was certainly right about Austin's lips. Very very nice.

Special K said...

You know what magicians I forgot -- Siegfried & Roy.

Why am I laughing at the thought of Jake and Austin going as them for as a duo Halloween costume? Of course with at least one stuffed animal tiger.

Anyone else watching the NBA Finals? If you are did you catch the commercial for Longhorn Network?

A whole network of Longhorn sports.

They say it's bigger and better in Texas, but a entire network just for UT? Wow.

Longhorn Network

Why I am watching the NBA Finals? Well I want to watch it and see if the Mavs can stay alive, but don't think I'm going to miss a Yankees Sox game. Luckily they just started the game at 10:29pm after a 3hr 27 minute rain delay. Now the flipping back and forth shall commence.

Yes we have played John Denver once I think with the Muppets. But Sunshine on my Shoulders doesn't come up in the playlist too often or but maybe one day Thank God I'm a country boy just might. - to the rest of OMG I will give fair warning.

prairiegirl said...

I'm baaaaaaack, just like a bad penny.

I just wanted to conjoin all of my comments into one big OMGarooooo dream music fest. Here's my lineup.

Tom, tomorrow you see if you can add any. Dest, m, you too.

M&M not allowed because she's only going to bring Bob Dylan.

Special? I dunno....I don't recognize hers.

Oh wait!!! I forgot Billy Idol.

Okay, Billy's in.

:D

destiny said...

WOW is a good word for Bomer Tom. :-D

I really love the photo of him from EW that I'm now using in my avatar, he looks good in a wet shirt.

destiny said...

Special has played a lot of artists I like lately, Police, Beastie Boys, Robert Plant, Nat King Cole, bunch of others that I can't remember.

I'll have to dream on my dream list.

prairiegirl said...

Okay, here's my re-do.

O'Jays will open up.
Spinners
Alexander O'Neal
Diana Ross & the Supremes
Tony Orlando & Dawn

prairiegirl said...

Oh oh.


Dionne's singing twice.

Well, Destiny, usually I don't recognize. I loved the Nat King Cole song from Sunday.

I have to give Special a hard time with music. Just like Wicked, I don't recognize half of what's played, lol.

I always told Wicked I was all about mainstream.

But Wicked did introduce us to Fleet Foxes. I'll always be thankful.
;D


I am thankful that I didn't hear Bob Dylan during my whole California stay.


LOLLLLL!!!


**snicker**. I know that's going to get a snarky comment from someone.

Special K said...

Do you need anyone besides Billy? Really? NO.

prairiegirl said...

Okay, I have to go to bed. Gotta get up early tomorrow. I've been putting in some rugged hours at work which has been a real pain.

So time to do a little Soul Train Line outta here. Remember the Soul Train dance line? I used to love that.

Here's hoping Austin has a great time at Bonnarrooooohoohoo. Use the sunscreen now, Austie. And wear a hat. And wash your hands at every opportunity. Those Porta John's are just filled with germs.

;)

prairiegirl said...

I may have to start calling Austin "GM Austin", for Grand Marshal Austin. I think once a grand marshal, ALWAYS a grand marshal.

That commands respect.

The google guitar was so clever. I keep the sound turned off at work since I've stumbled upon a few sites that I did not want the entire office hearing a few times and meant to check it out again when I got home from work. But then I crashed on the couch and forgot all about it. I'm glad someone thought to save a sample.

Still quiet on the Jake front. Even BBM slash is dead as a doornail. I suppose Jake still has babysitting duty.

destiny said...

Sister Teriyaki, what a great name. Cute video.

I have too many artists I like to come up with a short dream list--right now there isn't anyone I'm listening to more than others. I love early disco, 60s music, new wave and alternative music from the 80s, rockers like U2, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen, crooners like Sinatra and Garland. But I'm also kind of tired of all my old music (can't believe I'm saying that), and nothing new is really grabbing me lately.
