Naming Your Virtual Magic Show

The other day I was watching an episode of Cheers. I’ve been rewatching the show on Hulu and I’m on season 9.

The episode I was watching featured Carla’s son, Gino.

And then I saw this credit at the end:

That name sounded so familiar to me, but I couldn’t quite place it.

But then I figured out what it was…

That’s right! He was a “grammar host” on the Magic Cafe back in the days of my old site.

At first I was pretty excited by this. I’m happy when magicians have real accomplishments outside of magic. And being on Cheers as one of Carla’s kids is a particularly cool accomplishment to have.

But then I got worried.

As a young man he guest-starred on the most popular show on television, and a decade later he was correcting grammar on a magic message board. That sounds like the first line of a biography about a guy who shot up a movie theater.

I was worried about the guy. But the good news is, I did some googling and found his site. And he seems to be doing well. He was on Fool Us and he’s doing a virtual show.

His show is called “Virtually Impossible.”

You might say, "Oh, I’ve heard of that show.” But no, you probably haven’t. You’ve probably just heard of someone else’s virtual show, because they’re all called “Virtually Impossible.”

As always, I like to be of service, so I’ve brainstormed some names for your virtual show, so as not to further crowd the marketplace with this one show name that everyone is using. Feel free to use one of these…
