Spoil Sports

You might have heard that Wikipedia has gone ahead and revealed the secret of one of Agatha Christie's famous murder mystery plays, 'The Mousetrap', by identifying the killer. For almost 60 years, the identity of the killer in the play has been one of the most closely guarded secrets, with audiences asked not to reveal the twist in the ending. Not anymore. The identity of the killer has been published online by Wikipedia, despite protests from the author's family and petitions from fans to remove the spoiler.

Another spoil sport is the Magician's Code on AXN, which breaks the secrets of some of the oldest and most exciting, and obviously-magical tricks, including stuff that David Blaine does to leave you scratching your heads in amazement. The best part is, whether it is purely illusion, or some pretty acrobatic sleight of hand, when the secret is revealed, it's almost too easy to have been a secret in the first place!

I watch it :)
