Magician, Alonzo hired by Michael Jackson!

Magicians and Illusionists seem to be the flavour of the year for 2009 for all the superstar singers.

First Britney Spears announces she is using Ed Alonzo, famous US stage magician for her latest tour - "Circus" which began at the start of the year in the States and is coming over to London next month.

Next Michael Jackson announces his plans to use legendary stage magician, David Copperfield in his 50 date London tour which begins later this year, quickly to be corrected, that Copperfield is too expensive and demanded $1 million per show, so was substituted by street magician and recently stage magician, Criss Angel. Now the latest news for the MJ camp is that, Britney's Illusionist, Alonzo, has now been hired to consult of the magic and illusion for Jackson's 50 shows in London. He won't be performing like he is in the "Circus" tour, just planning all the illusions then advising Criss Angel on how to perform them in the actual live show.

We are now waiting for Take That to announce the next big magic act that will be performing with them on their sell out UK tour which starts this summer, also under the name of "Circus"

Magician, Criss Angel rumoured to tour with Michael Jackson!

The US magician, Criss Angel has been rumored to tour with superstar singer Michael Jackson after he apparently has had rows with famous stage magician - David Copperfield.

It has been said that Michael Jackson wants to use lots of illusions in his final farewell tour that is being held in the London O2 arena to make it a visual explosion for the audience. He originally asked David Copperfield to join him in London for the 50 date tour but has reportedly pulled out after Copperfield demanded $1 million per show! David Copperfield had huge success in the 1980's and 1990's and is one of the world's most famous stage magicians.

Criss Angel is said to be delighted at the invite to perform with the singing legend and it doesn't come as a surprise after his solo show has been a huge flop in Las Vegas and has been absolutely slatted by the critics. The US street magician has caused entertainment expert Cirque Du Solei their biggest embarrassment ever! Maybe a little time out of the spotlight and supporting another artist would do Angel the world of good!

The critics have said he isn't ready for this step in his career yet and it comes across on stage! Criss Angel has been made famous by his hit TV series - MindFreak which has recorded four seasons and several TV specials.
