Hello everybody, the Magic Show is here with its first ever live show. Let me warn you, it's a little rough. Editing was sort of a… what do you call it… it's on the tip of my tongue… oh yeah, a nightmare. So my best interview was cut off (he was excited about Psionic Blast and Call of the Herd… and shiznoz) amongst other small annoyances probably only I will catch.
A few notes on the video:
This was filmed in the Nashville Convention Center in what had to be the smallest room I've ever seen a prerelease held. Ahem.
The organizers ran out of product at 4PM. No drafting for you!
Thanks for watching.
