...Special Seasons. If there's one thing you see a lot of in TCM's basic collection of old movies, it's white people.

The group has talent, Miller says, and past shows have been very successful. “It is always a lot of fun,” he says. Members lose and find coins and cards in ways that often take years to learn. One former Harvard magician, Harrison R. Greenbaum ’08 has even become a professional in New York. But the logistics of this year’s show...
