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.
