The Masked Magician Biography
The Masked Magician Biography

The magician’s sacred code of silence is broken forever in the
upcoming MAGIC’S BIGGEST SECRETS FINALLY REVEALED premiering March 2,
2009. The infamous world acclaimed Masked Magician stars in the hour-
long episodes airing Mondays at 9pm (ET/PT) on MyNetworkTV. He
entertains and enlightens fans of all ages by exposing the secrets
behind magic’s most mystifying illusions. The Masked Magician
continues to defy his fellow conjurers and disclose the tricks that
have captivated audiences for centuries.

Over 120 of magic’s most memorable illusions will be unveiled,
including the MOTORCYCLE VANISH, TRAIN LEVITATION, WATER ESCAPE,
WALKING THROUGH SOLID GLASS, WALKING ON WATER, MAGIC YOU CAN DO and
much more.

Val Valentino, The Masked Magician, has starred in a multitude of
international and national TV specials. His four blockbuster FOX TV
Network specials were among the highest rated in the history of the
network, and garnered better numbers than the World Series. He has
successfully performed more illusions on Television in one year than
any other magician in history.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY wrote that The Masked Magician is “more
spellbinding than David Copperfield’s, Lance Burton’s and Siegfried &
Roy’s entire bag of tricks combined.” Valentino was also honored on
EW’s prestigious IT LIST as one of the “Top 100” most creative
entertainers in show business.

What has The Masked Magician been doing since his first FOX TV
specials? He has been in high demand worldwide, producing TV specials,
“live” performances, product endorsements, commercials, TV cameos,
consulting on magic projects, etc. He has been awarded the equivalent
of an Academy Award in Latin America, and received tremendous
recognition throughout the Far East, United Kingdom and virtually the
world. The Masked Magician believes that magic transcends all
languages, and appeals to all ages.

Due to his tremendous Television success, CBS wasted no time in
signing Valentino to a two-hour special episode of the DIAGNOSIS
MURDER series starring Dick Van Dyke. The producers were quoted as
saying, “The Masked Magician killed us

in the last ratings sweep, so we figured we’d do what any self-
respecting producers would do: bring The Masked Magician to our side,
and kill him off in a two-hour special.” The NEW YORK POST’s review
was glowing. “This is must see TV: videotape this one; you’ll be glad
you did.”
The Masked Magician’s “live” stage extravaganza has been touring to
sold out arenas globally and across the United States. He has mastered
the most difficult and death-defying illusions, and his future plans
include attempting to be “buried alive” six feet underground in a
metal coffin for seven days. Historical documents attest that the
illustrious Houdini feared and never attempted this stunt publicly.

Valentino creates “the magic” then proceeds to reveal the reality of
the illusions before a captivated television audience on his MyNetwork
TVseries, MAGIC’S BIGGEST SECRETS FINALLY REVEALED. He is the
consummate performance-artist who creates, writes, directs and
develops his own work.

Nash Entertainment has become so captivated with The Masked Magician
that CEO Bruce Nash decided to star him as the lead character in a
graphic novel to be produced by Virgin Comics. Nash hopes ultimately
to use the novel as a basis for a feature film, Television series,
“live” stage production, electronic games and mainstream merchandise.

The graphic novel will revolve around the fictional magician, on the
lam from the law. The character dons a mask to protect himself. He
begins using magic to solve crimes—and attempts to redeem himself from
the past he is trying to escape. The book and movie will highlight how
the real life Masked Magician conjures up his illusions.

Valentino is a consultant on the project, and is working closely with
Bruce Nash, Robert Kosberg, head of Nash’s feature film division,
Andrew Jebb and Virgin comics.

Val Valentino is an amazing entertainer who fell in love with magic at
the tender age of 5, and knew that this was his destiny. His father
gave him his first illusion, THE BALL AND THE VASE TRICK, and by age
11, he was entertaining professionally by performing magic for parties
and at community functions.

He continued to perfect his craft during his teen years, and performed
in THE INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL AWARENESS PROGRAM for over a million
students throughout the Unified School System. By his early 20’s he
was touring with major stars nationwide, and was a popular performer
at the historic Magic Castle in Hollywood, California.

In addition, he starred in legendary musician Herb Alpert’s MAGIC MAN
video. It had the distinction of becoming one of the very first music
videos.
His first national TV break came with an appearance on THE MERV
GRIFFIN SHOW. Merv was amazed with Valentino’s performance and stated
that “Valentino is a gifted magician; an astounding performer with an
unbelievable performance.” The acclaim that Val Valentino had been
receiving nationwide opened the door for a stunning career in Las
Vegas.

He became an instant success and earned wonderful reviews. Hollywood’s
Daily Variety commended “his combination of irresistible sensuality
and spellbinding exoticism.” The Las Vegas Review Journal stated that
“He ranks among the top few in the city.”

Valentino has headlined in some of the top theaters in Las Vegas,
Atlantic City, Reno NV, Biloxi Mississippi and Lake Tahoe. He has
starred in the popular production SPLASH at the Riviera Hotel,
headlined for six years in the world famous “Copa Room” theater at the
Sands Hotel and performed throughout Las Vegas at the Las Vegas
Hilton, Caesars Palace, The Plaza Hotel and Maxim Hotel. He also
continued to tour his sold out stage shows nationally and
internationally.

The Fox TV Network approached him while he was touring, and asked him
to consider becoming a magic consultant on its upcoming MAGIC SECRETS
REVEALED special. He agreed to participate if the producers would
reveal only the older magical illusions. They did, and history was in
the making.

Valentino knew that his life long dream as a magician was in jeopardy
due to the nature of the TV show, but he felt that it was more
important to have a magician working closely with the staff then not.
Valentino gallantly took the opportunity for the better good of the
Art of Magic, when all other magicians backed away and feared possibly
tainting their careers.

He worked closely with Director Don Weiner to create a show that would
dare to be unique, challenging and exciting. The media and TV fans
embraced The Masked Magician, and a new star was born. There was an
uproar in the magic community, due to the fact that many magicians did
not understand Valentino’s motives and his lifelong dream of promoting
his love of magic, sharing his passion with his viewing audience and
inspiring a new generation of magic fans.

Val Valentino is currently creating a New Magic Society, THE MASKED
MAGICIAN’S ACADEMY OF MYSTICAL ARTS. Its purpose is to educate and
encourage a New Generation of Magicians, promote public interest in
the Art of Magic and preserve its history as an Art form,
entertainment medium and hobby.

The Masked Magician will continue his tradition of awe-inspiring
entertainment on the second season of MAGIC’S BIGGEST SECRETS FINALLY
REVEALED, Monday’s at 9pm (ET/PT) on MyNetwork TV beginning March 2,
2009.
One thing is for certain: this visionary magician “will not disappear”
anytime soon. This ancient artform created a very special kind of
magic and named him Val Valentino aka The Masked Magician.

In my humble opinion, magic is all about creativity.
Siege

YES...

But use blank faces/pips or something else. And add a 'twist'.

In my humble opinion, magic is all about creativity. I stopped doing
the dynamic coins because some young lad at a show told me he knew how
it was done. And I loved that trick!

BUT... I had to fill it's place. Which was easy, and introduced me to
better magic. I think that's the key here: we need to move on.

If we just used age old effects and routines, then nothing would ever
change - and we'd get stuck in a rut of all magicians doing the same
tricks.

But, we're adventurous types. There's basically an open book - and
we've got to fill the pages (how poetic?).

Personally, I absolutely LOVE creating weird and off-the wall magic -
but the things I do boil down to just dressing up old techniques and
handlings and making them look exciting and new.

Think of a motor car: there's basically four wheels, a chassis and an
engine. You have a steering wheel, a brake and accellerator. That's
the dynamics of the whole thing.
But every month we see a new variation on the theme - a new style or
design, faster, sleeker, curvier, more gadgets, more economy.

But still the same four wheels, engine, chassis etc.

This is a relatively strong metaphor - and quite appropriate. Think
about it...

The Masked Magician has actually done the magic industry a favour
Current mood: cheerful
Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities
Talkmagic.co.uk
Siege
------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't worry.

Magic's greatest secrets are still safe. The Masked Magician has
actually done the magic industry a favour - by introducing more people
to the world of magic.

It's been the only high-profile magic programme on TV for a while -
and therefore has given everyone a dose of magic.

Plus, if he's given the secrets of magic away, why isn't the world of
magic dead? I'm sure if someone found out McDonald's secret recipe or
CocaCola's magic ingredients that they'd go out of business.

The effects exposed here are mostly prop tricks. The real magic is
safe and sound with the REAL magicians.

You'd be surprised that since people found out that David (who?)
Blaine isn't REALLY the Messiah - there's been more and more 'Blaine-
ites' appearing.

The Masked Magician has his reasons for doing what he's done - most of
which are commercial. It's far less controversial than you think... at
least he performed most of them *well*.

In essence - the MM has not changed the world that much at all -
except to raise Magic's profile on TV.

I say, well done that man.

Sorry Billy, I'm not the Amazing Jonathan, but I sure love the guy. I'm
not sure how much longer he's going to be around. In an article in
Magic a couple months ago he said he's been diagnosed with heart
disease.

That'll suck. Amazing Jonathan is awesome. Soo much entertainment and
hardly 2 tricks done the whole show.

His website has some jokes that are so offensive that you literally
would have trouble telling any two of them in the same company.
My favorite:
"What's 18 inches long and makes women scream?"

(don't scroll down if you're squeamish)
