Hello everybody, and welcome to another edition of the Magic Show. This week is one of those weeks that make all of the hard work worth it. I’m live and in Hollywood during the Pro Tour, bringing you the opinions, stories, blowouts and triumphs of the biggest stars of Magic. Are you ready to experience Chapin, Sanchez, Dougherty, Kastle, Damo da Rosa, Finkel (yes, Finkel!), Mowshowitz, Forsythe, Turian, Nagle and more? Let’s go!
I think it’s safe to say that Patrick Chapin will never be framed quite the same way again.
Special thanks to all of my friends, all of the great people at Wizards R&D who treated me so well, all of the fans whom I got to meet, all of the Cap’n Tickles I’ve signed, and you guys for making all of the countless hours worth it.
Until next week, when we do this all over again…
