Michael Jackson has asked magician Ed Alonzo to create illusions for his comeback gigs in London, it's been claimed.
Alonzo, who is already scheduled to perform with Britney Spears in the capital next month, is due to create two tricks for the King of Pop.
"I met with Michael Jackson a couple of days ago and am now officially creating magic and illusions for his concert," the magician told E! News.
"I will not be performing in the show as I do with Britney. I'm just creating the magic that Michael has requested in his vision.
“[He] has a great knowledge of magic and has performed illusions in his shows before."
Alonzo said Michael had two routines in mind for the gigs, which the magician is due to teach the singer in the coming weeks.
The illusionist has previously appeared on the US TV shows America's Got Talent and Saved By The Bell.
Michael's spokesman denied reports over the weekend that the singer had been diagnosed with skin cancer.
Dr Tohme Tohme insisted the singer was healthy and looking forward to his comback gigs, which begin in July.
