Why We Rated This for Ages 11 and Up

The good stuff

• Messages:

  While there's cash to be won and some competitive behavior, the show mostly highlights the skill and training that goes into performing magic. Most of the cast is committed to learning the craft. The cast is primarily male and Caucasian. Christopher Reid is African-American.

What to watch out for

• Violence:

  One participant humorously claims that his coach looks like someone who was "avoiding being killed by mobsters." One stunt features a finger being "cut off" and gushing (fake) blood. Some of the tricks, including the water tank escape, are extremely dangerous and shouldn't be attempted by non professionals.
• Sex:

  Some sexual innuendo that will go over the head of young viewers. Some of the contestants and coaches use sex appeal or subtle sexual references to enhance the entertainment value of their tricks. Some of the women wear some revealing outfits during their performances.
• Language:

  Audible language includes words like "damn." Stronger curse words (like "f--k") are fully bleeped.
• Consumerism:

  Occasional mentions of show's sponsor, ellusionist.com. Music from The Pussycat Dolls is sometimes featured since Pussycat dancer Kimberly Wyatt is participating.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  One trick requires beer bottles to be broken.
