This seasons seems to be filled with MAGIC... with the release of the seventh and "final" book in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J.K. Rowling's will be released on July 21 (but you probably already know that, right?); the release of the latest Harry Potter movie and the television show starring magician/illustionist Criss Angel (you know the one who went on a date with Cameron Diaz). With all the advertisements, you just can't miss the Magic!

Today, I thought I would include some information that if you're interested in magic, you might not want to miss....
