tbh nysm would be great as a tv show
mini heists or magic shows every few episodes
character interactions! fun magic!
one episode where Merritt and Jack get a new bunk bed from IKEA and the entire episode is them struggling to put it together
Dylan and Thaddeus do a small heist together but accidentally get seen at the end by like a bachlorette party and have to call Merritt to hypnotize them to forget about it and he’s like “yall are hardcore Eye magicians you can’t fix this yourself?” and Dylan goes “neither of us are mentalists, what do you want us to do, kill them?”
Danny is getting increasingly paranoid because everyone is acting slightly Off and it’s because they’re planning his surprise birthday party
Through a series of events, after staunchly refusing to do so the whole episode, Lula is forced to recreate her ‘hat out of a rabbit’ trick
Henley shows up like “I’m gonna jump in a crocodile enclosure for a thing, can you watch my kid for a bit?” And Babysitting ensues
another episode with Henley (perhaps multiple) where she participates in the latest heist/magic show but always makes it back to her house before the cops bust her like “what’s happening officer I’ve been home all day innocent blink” ala Antman and the Wasp. Other times she’s the tech person who hacks into stuff and monitors cameras
Dylan’s FBI ex-coworkers/boss are reoccurring antagonists. At one point after setting up a sting all episode, they fail to catch the Horsemen. What went wrong? The Horsemen used pigeons to communicate and avoid the trap
Thaddeus and/or one of the other Eye magicians shows up occasionally to be weird and cryptic and either cause problems or give vague, eventually useful advice (or both)
basically any era would work
pre nysm1 awkward get-to-know-you bonding
post nysm1 hjinks with Dylan maintaining his cover and the Horsemen screwing around
post nysm2 everything
even post nysm3
the possibilities are endless
