Storyline
A social reject and salesman’s (JOE “Magic” MAGIDON) closest thing to a social life is selling to customers at swap meets and flea markets. The crowds at the market love his pushy aggressive raunchy schtick- his comedic persona has The Magic Chop flying off the shelves. It’s not long until Joe gets an offer he can’t refuse: the promise of infomercial stardom. As he transcends into the limelight, it becomes obvious his aggressive, pushy, raunchy persona isn’t an act for the cameras.
