REALLY positive article on Scam School and Rev3

Thought this was a super-encouraging sign:

http://www.tilzy.tv/news/2008/4/Learn-Magic-Tricks-in-Scam-School.htm

It's off to a good start, showing you the art of inhaling noxious fumes to impress strangers (FYI, I tried this...and it burns) and seemingly simple puzzle games that annoy the #%@ out of anyone that can't figure them out. New episodes will drop every Friday, but to celebrate the show's launch, we'll get a new scam every day this week.

I'm hoping that the magic will get more "WTF?!?" or "WOW!" inducing as the series progresses, but even if they don't, Rev3 could have found its first mainstream hit.

Part of it's because Brushwood's a talented host and it's hard not to like someone that's telling you secrets. But it's mostly because of Scam School's subject matter and that it's the network's first show (aside from Ctrl-Alt-Chicken and a XLR8R TV) that doesn't reek of geeky pop culture or tech talk. You don't need to know the name Kevin Rose to digg a decent magic trick.

My favorite part is when they called my "Brian Brushwood on the road" series "kinda like Dane Cook's Tourgasm except funnier and watchable. " :D

Wow good review of the show! I'm definitely a watcher for life.

I hope you do something similar for your next tour - they really were fun (especially the bored at the airport episode) ... and who doesn't like Mr Roboto?

scam school is deffinetly a good alternative type show for rev3 not to un-geeky but not to binary code geeky also. the tricks are awesome and its always fun to be the guy that can at random pull a quarter from behind somebody's ear or smash they're face against a table until the non existent coin falls of they're forehead, good humor, straight to the point, enjoyable. i just hope that it stays fresh witch im sure if brian has enough tricks up his sleeve, witch im sure he does. in all i think this is an awesome idea, deffinetly a way to get geeks(like myself) out of the house a bit more often and also just a very original idea i think. keep it up brian, keep it up rev3.
