Nick (entering at the band trailer): Whoa, rock'n roll, baby!
(edit)
Sara (to herself after finding a print): I'm no psychic, but I have been known to read palms.
(edit)
(A hand reaches out to grab Grissom's shoulder, he is startled)
Sara: Sorry. (Sara pulls her hand back and smiles)
Warrick: You keep disappearing. (edit) Sara: I know you didn't beep me for a magic trick.
Greg: Swami doesn't do magic tricks. Swami's here to reveal all of your DNA secrets.
Sara: I'm very busy, Greg.
Greg: Blood from the "Chamber of Doom."
Greg: Same as the d-donor of the blood found on the basement floor but ... d-different than the blood found in the alleyway.
Sara: Different person?
Greg: Different ... animal.
Sara: Really? What kind of animal?
Greg: Oh, Swami needs more time. Now...clear liquid found near the blood droplets. It's... (Grissom walks up behind Greg and starts reading the results) ...not from Thora Birch, but...
Grissom: Thorazine. (Greg is surprised. He puts the test results down and takes off the Swami hat)
Greg: Thorazine.
Sara: Thorazine. That's an animal tranquilizer. Zephyr didn't use any live animals in his act.
Grissom: Maybe he didn't use it on animals. (edit) Archie: Is that who I think it is?
Grissom: Who?
Archie: Toby Arcane. "Freak man".
Grissom: What makes him a "freak" besides that shirt?
Archie: All I can say he's not for the faint of heart. (edit)
Sara: Sorry. (Sara pulls her hand back and smiles)

When Greg is giving Nick and Catherine gossip on the band, Nick and Greg exchange the "rock on" sign, bending the ring finger and middle finger in. HOWEVER, the proper way to show it is with the palm facing in, not towards each other. Instead of saying "rock on," therfore, they say "I love you" in sign language.
(edit)
After you see Zephyr pour the dust out of his hand, you can see the pack where it came from on his palm if you keep watching for it.
(edit)
Misspelling of one of the character's names:
When Sara, Grissom and Warrick are looking around in Zoe Klein's house, they find a blueprint for one of her magic tricks. On the bottom it reads: 'PROPERTY OF ZOE KLEIN'. Later, Warrick finds a picture of the magicians, and the picture reads 'CLEIN MAGICAL TOUR', the 'Klein' was misspelt with a 'C' instead of a 'K'. (edit) When Grissom and Archie look at the photos an older couple took at the magician's show, they zoom in on one of the pictures - the picture showed the top of a woman's head behind the couple originally, but when zoomed in, her whole head can be seen. (edit) Grissom finds a large, winged insect in the windowsill and IDs it as a male io moth when in fact it is not an io moth at all. A male io moth is small and golden-yellow with bright pink and eyespots.
In addition, it was a butterfly, not a moth. It folded its wings when landed. (edit)
