The rumors have been many and diverse as to the identity of the magician that is consulting with Michael Jackson to produce magic for his upcoming fifty show London concert schedule. Is it David Copperfield or Criss Angel as has been so widely reported? Nope.. Fresh of the Britney Spears' Circus tour, it is Ed Alonzo!

Hey Dodd,
Thought I would help you put the rumors to rest. I've been secretly working on ideas for Michael for the last couple of weeks. I met with Michael in Burbank, CA a couple of days ago and he described his visions for magic and Illusion that he wants in his show. I have been hired to create the Illusion's that he will perform in his concert starting in July in London for a 50 show run +. I will not be in the show, I'm still on tour with Britney until December now. I've been home on vacation from the Circus tour and will work closely with Michael over the next two weeks. So far Michael has two illusions he wants to present. It should be some unbelievable stuff. On my next Circus break, I will teach Michael the routines and help in the staging of the effects. Michael was very friendly and excited about the project. 20 years ago I did a private show for Michael and his 6 guests at his Neverland Ranch theater. It was a one hour Illusion stage show. I hadn't had contact with Michael since.
Thanks
Ed Alonzo
