I nearly swallowed my tongue when I saw this at Missouri Botanical Gardens. Then I realized it was just glare from the sun. (sniffle.)
Variegated Black Magic?? nah.
you know I would have bought it even though I have one...
One time I was at a nursery and I saw a pot of colocasias that were all clumped up and I looked and saw that it was Jet black wonder looked just like Bm. and I asked her if it was really jet black wonder? Some gardencenters just have "ely ear" well come to find out that sevearl people on here got lucky cause I thought to my self that BM is a stolon sender not a bublous excuse spelling on that... but come to find out it was JBW... But I did pass up a red stem that was not rubard at the Mobile bio garden sale. that suck... I could have used it somewhere... but they are just as bad as nurserys some time casue they had alocasia marked as colocasia....
I think the best places to get them would be either collectors or aroids shows... I am going to the next one in fl...LOL

A friend of mine has a huge planting of those deep purplue Taros planted with bright apple green coleus. Oh, SWOON!
