Hey gang,
Have been speaking with Rich Manley and Kristina Ellery, the creator and producer of a new show called Fallen Cards. The two of them currently have a KICKSTARTER campaign in motion that many of my friends are involved with as of this writing. The project itself is a short film about a magician in a post apocalyptic world who discovers he holds a secret that could change the fate of humanity. But that's just the start of it. This project is full of magicians doing real magic! Something that the creators started to notice is Hollywood's lack of representing magic in it's true form. Too much CGI, taking away the real wonder of magic. Six of our characters do some form of magic, and all of the actors are real magicians. THE CAST: Dan and Dave Buck Morgan Strebler, Rob Zabrecky and the creator himself, Rich Manley. These are all magicians that will be showcasing magic in its entirety. Their other cast members who are non magicians include, Adrian Paul, Kevin Farley, Robert LaSardo, Chuti Tiu, Anthony De Longis and Kristina Ellery. They have also signed on Steven Adler (original drummer of the band Guns N' Roses), to contribute some of his music from his new band Adler. Having said all that, the producers are currently working toward raising $45,000 USD with only 18 days left to pledge. If they reach their goal on KICKSTARTER, the idea is to film the short, and use it as an abbreviated pilot to pitch to Networks as a television series. I hope that many of you in our Magic Café community will give some serious thought in helping to support what I think is very promising project which has a lot of potential. --- A magician must confront the overwhelming discovery that he possess real powers over his mastery of illusion and sleight of hand while searching for the whereabouts of his missing father and avoiding the forces of two evil factions who wish to obtain the source of his ability. THE STORY: A Stage Magician, Tommy Blades, discovers he has real magic powers and must protect them from those who wish to possess them. Fallen Cards takes place in the year 2200 in a post apocalyptic world resurrected by greed, and the foul desire to create a new world order under tyranny and false pretenses. In this new world, where most of the earth is a barren wasteland from the Great War, a nuclear catastrophe that occurred in the year 2025, the earth now houses scarce desert settlements and cities that have been mans last attempt at rebuilding civilization, some more advanced than others. There is The Outlands, the desert scape home to a plethora of dune shaped sand huts and villages able to support life. Then there is, where Los Angeles would have been, Harbor City, the mecca for humanity, but also the capitol for mankind's greed. A vegas style town erected upon the principles of steam as a source of energy and fashioned under gears and cogs. Byron Chambers runs this city consuming the people in the entertainment and casino life he provides. Finally, there is the dark town of Osiris, deep in The Outlands, a covenant of religious followers treacherously buried in a cove of dwindling forestry and bramble. It is an old fashioned ghost city rebuilt by Frederick Polk, the peoples Guru and mystical dictator whose words could move the desert sands in fear. Tommy Blades, is a young, aspiring magician who travels to Harbor city after the mysterious disappearance of his father and the murder of his mother. He quickly attains fame and climbs the ladder of Casinos to become the cities leading act. He combines his unique style of magic with the sword work he learned from a wandering desert warrior on his travels to the city. However, strange instances begin to occur in Tommy's life and he soon realizes that his well developed talents are nothing compared to a hidden power he harbors. A potential that would have the leaders of the earth seeking him out for the source of this incredible power. --- The FALLEN CARDS KICKSTARTER project: Click Here!
