Storyline

When a macabre celebrity magician is killed while attending a magic conference, Liv must eat his brain to figure out which of his many rivals or detractors killed him. Detective Babineaux and the rest of Liv's friends are treated to a goth-magician version of her that no one truly enjoys. Meanwhile, Blaine comes to Liv seeking her help in stopping whoever is killing zombies. Can she unmask the murderers, and then make them disappear (right into a jail cell) or will she be the one getting sawed in half?

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.

Major Lilywhite: Yeah.
Olivia Moore: It was almost as good as sex. Like the difference between a turkey burger and a hamburger.
