Magicians seem to have fallen out of favor in recent years, but Marco Tempest, the "Virtual Magician" has something going that could change all of that: augmented reality.

Tempest’s “Magic Projection” system utilizes a laptop, a small projector, a PS3 Eye Toy, LED tracking markers and, of course, his bad ass proprietary software.
