Dear Magi
Excited to share this news with you. I'm a South African magician and 2015 brought with it the realisation of a decade long dream - sharing the art of magic with South Africans on a weekly basis via the medium of prime time TV. After pitches and various meetings with the country's national broadcaster (lasting about 2 years in total from start to approval), my idea for a South African TV Magic series was commissioned. Season 1 of the 13 part TV series titled "Magic with Mo" premiered in October 2015 and the series finale aired in January 2016. The show was allocated a modest budget of $336 per minute to produce each 24 minute episode, and for a first of its kind on South African TV, rose to being the second most watched South African TV show on the channel (second to a local soapie), and the only international shows with more viewers were "Days of Our Lives" and "Bold and the Beautiful" (soapies). I am thrilled and thankful for the opportunity to share the performance of our beautiful art form with viewers each week. In a 50 year history, being only the 3rd South African magician to have his own TV series, I hope the success of the series provides other magicians an opportunity to share their style of magic on TV. Long live the beautiful art of magic!!! The series explores various genres of magic (close up magic, mentalism, stunts and illusions) and features a variety of South African celebrities and members of the public as guests. Feel free to watch the entire season 1, now on Youtube. The direct link for the playlist is shown below. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL......UrozOM8I The title sequence for the show (30seconds in duration) may be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkXsGIYe......YskMS8yF Enjoy Best wishes from South Africa Mo Magic www.momagic.co.za |
