Ryan Nagata, while overcome with separation anxiety for the elegant magician Shuzuki Thornburg (Your Magic Touched Me), wowed August 2006 audiences with an energetic and crisp spin-off focusing on Sex Crime Investigation. Gaining momentum in 2007, the spin-off eclipsed the original and began to reinvent itself with every episode. From the Japanese Mafia, to ghosts, to clones, to outer space, Your Magic Touched Me: Nights kept the energy fresh and exciting enough to last nine months of competitive screenings. In July 2007, Nagata laid the show to rest with an epic finale that seemed to bleed out any other storyline he could think of. Will there be other Prime Time spin-offs? Timebelt: The Animated Series? Celebrity Documentary The Series? Possibly not. Nagata and company set the bar pretty damn high for a successful spin-off.

In the twelve-minute finale of Your Magic Touched Me: Nights, Ryan Nagata reinforces what a lucky audience got to figure out over the course of eight months of success: when it comes to Shuzuki Thornburg, you never know what to expect. |
