Media News

Mumbai, September 09, 2009

Levitating women? Walking through steel? The Masked Magician’s most daring deed in history is not these, but shattering the silence – breaking the sacred oath of secrecy among magicians by revealing on TV the mystery behind the magic tricks that have always eluded the masses. Tune in to AXN this September for the first and exclusive peek into the unveiling of the deep, dark secrets of the magic industry!

More than 10 years ago, the Masked Magician concealed his face to reveal the jealously guarded secrets behind some of the most baffling illusions ever, in the first and ratings-shattering series of Breaking the Magician’s Code in 1997, which made television history as one of the highest rated specials ever, setting records for audiences of all ages.

Over a decade and countless new illusions later, a new Masked Magician has returned in an all-new series of Breaking the Magician’s Code: Magic’s Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed, to first dazzle with the silken execution of even more marvellous magical feats, from simple card tricks and sleights of hand, to bewitching, bewildering illusions… before exposing them for the first time in history and laying bare the dark secrets behind these tricks that have dumbfounded the public for centuries.

With the voice of Mitch Pileggi (X Files) detailing the intricacies of each stunt, viewers will surely not be disappointed with the fascinating plethora of magic tricks their eyes can feast upon. From the classic act of restoring a cut rope to the mystifying grand acts of cutting one head’s off with a guillotine, levitating to different buildings and making a five-ton military vehicle magically appear in an empty parking lot, viewers will get to see beyond the magic and more.

Remember David Blaine’s death defying stunt back in 2000 when he encased himself in a block of ice for seven days without food, water and sleep? David Copperfield’s stupefying rendition of the Death Saw illusion, where a gigantic industrial buzz saw sliced a shackled Copperfield cleanly in half? Or how about the mind-blowing feat of Criss Angel walking on water effortlessly in full sight of spectators? Look no further than the Masked Magician who will present the ‘spoilers’ – the trade secrets behind these seemingly impossible magic feats.

Lift the confusion from illusion, guided by the sure and secret hands of the Masked Magician, in one of the most watched special series in TV History, with Breaking the Magician’s Code: Magic’s Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed, first and exclusively on AXN this September.
