From University newswpapers to VH1's own site, we are starting to see more information pop up in the traditional press discussing Celebracadabra, VH1's latest foray into the world of Reality Television. The Student Newspaper of the University of Southern California has posted a profile of magician Derek Hughes highlighting his role as a magic coach during the competition which was filmed at the Wold Famous Magic Castle and judged by such magic stars as Max Maven, Jeff McBride and Jonathan Levit who will act as the show's host. Such celebrity contestants as C. Thomas Howell, comedian ANT, Hal Sparks, Chris Reid, Lisa Ann Walter, Carnie Wilson & Kim Wyatt from The Pussycat Dolls will compete weekly  to advance to the next round and a shot at a $100,000 grand prize provided by the Ellusionist.com Street Magic Training Center.
