Is This The Number You're Thinking Of?

What a cheap parlor trick!

Is this Michael Jackson's way of cheating on his homework?

Apparently, Wacko has hired illusionist David Copperfield to add a little smoke and mirrors to MJ's upcoming O2 Arena residency, where he will perform 50 concerts - or so they want us to believe.

In one of the centerpieces of the show, there will be some high wire routines and a levitation act. Additionally, an order has gone out for 100 mirrors and a ton of dry ice.

Rehearsals kick off next month, although MJ has already been hitting the dance studio to get in gear.

One thing's for sure…the space cadet usually seems to be walking on the moon!
