In last season's America's Got Talent four magic acts made it into the group of twelve final contestants on the NBC show. It was a strong year for magic on the program and even though Mike Super didn't win, he did get a burst of national visibility with his memorable performances (which included showcasing his imaginary friend Dexter and putting Mel B. in the hot seat). America's Got Talent was actually Super's second emergence on a TV reality show. In 2007 he was the winner of NBC's Phenomenon, a competition among mentalists. 

On January 11 Super performed two shows on the Upper West Side of Manhattan at Symphony Space, as part of the venue's Just Kidding series of family friendly events. Between performances Super spoke with the Magic in New York blog in a wide-ranging conversation about his career and about magic today. Super provides a view behind-the-scenes at America's Got Talent and addresses the question as to whether the competition provides a level playing field for all of its contestants. He also talks about the resurgence of magic's popularity on TV, and provides interesting insight into his life as a busy working magician.
