Celebracadabra Finale Video Extras
The other night’s Celebracadabra was a great ending to one of my favorite VH1 reality series. C. Thomas Howell was a strong performer throughout the season, had a great rapport with all of his audiences, and I think he really did deserve to win. Many of the other contestants, including his finale competitor, Hal Sparks, though, did great jobs as well. In the end, Howell’s easy-going manner, and willingness to work with his coach –or coaches- earned his the win.
Check out these VH1 Extras from the finale. This first clip, showing Jonathan Leavit bloopers, is hysterical.
Of course, Steve Wyrick, and his Las Vegas theater, played a big part of the finale. This Artist’s Dream sequence is a great series of illusions. Plus –okay- it’s really very sweet. Watch it again and again, if you must. Maybe you’ll figure out how he did all that. It didn’t help me.

Celebracadabra - It’s Kid’s Play
May 4, 2008 by Lynn
In episode 2, the celebs are told that they have to go entertain a bunch of children. they are told to go to a constume shop and invent a character who will do magic tricks. In a tragic twist, Lisa Ann Walter found out that she had to wear a giant ketchup bottle and somehow make it work. She actually rocked it!
We found out that Ant is terrified of clowns. Who knew? So when they got to the costume shop and there was a giant clown suspended from the ceiling, Ant freaked out and refused to even go inside. Instead, he made his costume out of candy. It was not only against the rules since he wasn’t a character, but he also started a mob scene with the kids trying to grab the candy and someone could have gotten hurt.
Most of the performers did a fantastic job, even Ms. Ketchup! When the judges voted, they decided it was time for Ant to disappear. He may be right that it;s a bad move to get rid of the show’s villain so early in the season…
Here’s a video clip of the celebs finding out about their latest challenge:
