About

"Magic tricks solve crimes in this breezy procedural"

A world-famous magician's career collapses after a scandal, and he ends up helping the FBI solve crimes by using illusion, sleight-of-hand, and misdirection tricks to crack cases traditional detective work can't touch. It's a breezy procedural with a gimmick: each episode borrows a real magic trick as the hook for how the crime was pulled off or gets solved. The tone is light and fun rather than dark, carried by the charm of its lead and the novelty of watching stage-magic logic applied to crime scenes.

Watch it for

the fun gimmick of real magic tricks used to explain and solve each week's crime.

Maybe skip if

you need serialized depth, since this plays out as a standard case-of-the-week procedural.
