Clive Babineaux : No.

[Liv, Clive, and Ravi go over Syd Wicked's crime scene]
Olivia Moore : What kind of name is Syd Wicked?
Clive Babineaux : Stage name. He's a magician. You don't dress like that unless you do magic or you hate your parents. Apparently there's some big magician convention happening at this hotel all week.
Ravi Chakrabarti : Of course! PrestoFest. How did I miss that. I'm on the mailing list.
-
[Liv and Clive make an arrest by exposing a magic trick]

[Clive arrives to the crime scene of Syd Wicked's dead body]

[Ravi reveals to Clive and Liv the piece of rotting fish he found with Syd's dead body]
Ravi Chakrabarti : So, I took a gander around the room, and found this in the wastebasket, with this lovely note attached. 'Welcome to PrestoFest.' 'Here's a gift from your fellow magicians.' So I thinks to myself, 'Hmm. Okay. Kind of boilerplate stuff.' Maybe they thought the summer sausage would make up for the stock sentiments. But wait, there's more.
Clive Babineaux : We're all hoping.
Olivia Moore : [Ravi reveals the old piece of meat] Ugh!
Ravi Chakrabarti : [as Ravi concludes on reading the note] 'Enjoy the decay!'

[Clive realizes that they're going to be interviewing a bunch of magicians]
Clive Babineaux : So how many magicians come to this.
Ravi Chakrabarti : PrestoFest every year? Oh, upwards of 200. Then you have your semi-professionals, your weekend wizards, and the occasional hypnotist. 'PrestoFest, come for the illusions and stay for the sleight of ha... '
Clive Babineaux : [Clive inerrupts Ravi] Looks like we're going to be interviewing a whole lot of magicians. Sometimes I really hate this job.

[Liv and Clive interview Houdina who denies believing that Syd Wicked is dead]
Clive Babineaux : We'd like to ask you some questions about Syd Wicked.

Olivia Moore : Trust me, he's dead.
Houdina : [Houdina smiles] Whatever you say.

-
[Smoak and Meers give Clive their alibi for the time of Syd Wicked's murder]
Clive Babineaux : And where were you at the time of the murder?
Smoak : The Houdina show. I remember because she disappeared during her closer and she never came back for a bow. I waited around for 15 minutes. It was actually kind of punk rock.

[Houdina gives Clive her alibi for the time of Syd Wicked's murder]
Clive Babineaux : You weren't performing when Syd was killed. You'd already disappeared off-stage for your closer.
Houdina : Guys, I didn't actually disappear. I hate to break this to you. Magic isn't real. You remember the cocktail waitress at the end of the show? The one you asked if she knew where I was? That was me. I had her costume on underneath mine.
Clive Babineaux : But I looked right at you.
Houdina : That's the thing about a magic trick. If it's done well, the answer's right in front of you.
