Maybe not on the scale of China Summer Olympics, I still enjoyed the MAGIC of Stage Craft use this year in Vancover, especially the pod of whales...

The historic journey from native man trekking across "frozen" land to modern Vancouver was narrated by Donald Sutherland, who has the perfect voice for the job, and blended perfectly the combination of culture, iconography and technology. The breaking up of a glacier and the aquatic creatures, particularly the whales, swimming on the projected floor were particularly captivating.
