Trivia
Smoak (Jason Antoon) and Meers are obvious stand-ins for Penn & Teller, a pair of magicians that made their career by showing how magic tricks work. There's even the diminutive mute in both duos. The name of the duo in the show, Smoak and Meers, is even a play on words, not just about how magic is often referred to but also for a canceled Sega CD game called Penn and Teller's Smoke and Mirrors, which featured the titular pair in a series of games that parodied video games.

Goofs
Liv, having eaten the brain of a magician, seems to believe the Death card actually represents death, when it represents change.

Quotes
[Major agrees to be something more serious with Liv]
Olivia Moore: So you're okay with it? Because if we're gonna do this, we have to be totally honest with each other this time around.
Major Lilywhite: Of course I want to sex you up, girl. You're very attractive, and I very much have a penis, but just being with you is enough. Honest.
