So do you guys know who mike super is? I went to his show last night at the local college and actually met with him and talked with him after the show. I also got him to sign my ace of spades and now have a deck for singing. :) so check out these 2 pics.

I had never heard of him so I looked him up. He seems like a cool guy with a lot of talent! That must have been pretty cool to meet him and get to chat with him. How was the show?

He was the winnner of the NBC magic talent competition series "Phenomenon", which unfortunately only ran for a single season.  I never got a chance to see it, but I heard that in his winning final-round performance, he used a deck of Bicycle Series 1800.

That's very cool.  I'm sure the show was fantastic as well.  What was the highlight of it for you?

Wow I really want to see this "Phenomenon" TV series now. Looking at some of Mike's work he does look like a very skilled magician indeed. Great experience meeting him!
Mystery is the basic appeal of magic. Once the secrets are known, the magician becomes a mere manipulator, an actor in a suspense drama which has little impact because the audience knows the ending in advance.

Good luck with that.  I've been searching for it but it pretty much doesn't exist.  Since the show was a one-season wonder with low ratings, I'm assuming that NBC or whoever holds the rights didn't think it would be financially sound to make a DVD or Blu-ray set.

He preformed more simple tricks, but the best one for me he had a prediction of 3 things he randomly chose from the audience. Blew my mind.
