“Sleight of hand” takes on a whole new meaning with the Sleeves Up, Pants Down: The Naked Magic Show, because there’s nowhere for magicians Mike Tyler and Christopher Wayne to hide much of anything in this adults-only magic show. Well, OK, maybe not nowhere, but not many places… at least none we need to see. When we asked the Straz how naked the guys were for the show, they told us “pretty naked” and sent us this photo. We’re assuming we’ll see some magic (Tyler and Wayne, don’t flatter yourselves, we mean tricks) along with all the naughty bits. Judging by the press for this show, we’re also assuming we’ll be in a mostly female crowd. Nude Aussie magicians? We like to call that “Saturday” in Tampa Bay.
