Bestselling author Paulo Coelho has teamed with MySpace to create his first feature film. It will be called The Experimental Witch.

The film will be done using the ‘mash-up’ video concept. You see, Coelho will transform his most recent book, which is The Witch of Portobello, into a feature film. (It was just published last year.) Coelho will be using original videos and music created and submitted by MySpace users.

Coelho will select up to 15 videos and 16 songs to be included in the final film. Coelho will own the film, and distribution of the final product has not yet been set

You know, there are not a lot of famous magicians or illusionists out there these days. And one of the most famous ones right now has got to be Criss Angel. Every time I read something about him it seems like he is doing some crazy thing that you just can’t believe that he can do. And he seems to do things that border on crazy a little more than the old school people like Harry Houdini. So it is pretty fun. If you are a Criss Angel fan then you will want to know about the new show called CRISS ANGEL Believe. You can catch it at the Luxor Hotel down in Las Vegas. In fact, you can actually win your self two tickets through a text message contest.
