Deception: ABC Commits to Crimefighting Illusionist Pilot..

Magic is coming to ABC. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network has committed to a new pilot titled Deception.

The drama comes from Chris Fedak, Martin Gero, Greg Berlanti, and David Kwong. The latter three serve as producers on NBC’s Blindspot.

Here’s the show’s official description:

When a superstar magician’s career is ruined by scandal, he has only one place to turn to practice his art of deception, illusion and influence — the FBI. He’ll become the world’s first consulting illusionist, helping the government solve crimes that defy explanation, and trap criminals and spies by using deception.”

Fedak will write the script and executive produce alongside Berlanti, Gero, Kwong, and Sarah Schechter.

His personal, tragic story gripped the hearts of everyone across the country who watched. His sleight-of-hand magic tricks enabled him to reach the finals among the thousands that auditioned for the show. But his ultimate goal of winning AGT fell just short. He finished third overall, one-percentage behind the eventual winner, 12-year-old ukulele-playing Grace VanderWaal, a favorite to win the coveted $1-million prize who garnered millions of votes with her catchy, folksy tunes.  Read more….
