Wizard Wars: Episode Three (Recap and Review)

In last week’s Wizard Wars, episode three began with the in-house wizard team getting ready to decapitate fellow team member Shimshi with a giant electric saw. The trick, of course, went immaculately and the “victim” dramatically let his head droop after the blade passed “through” his neck. Cue gasps and applause. This show is a badly needed shot in the arm for television a program that fuses a mix of “reality” TV with a game show style of delivery. Rick Lax’s brain child – he is the show’s creator – is one of the most entertaining on any network at the moment.
