There's a State of The Art Live Magic Show Coming Inspired By The NOW YOU SEE ME Films
First of all, I'm a sucker for magic! Magic is one of my favorite things in the world. So when I hear there is going to be state of the art live magic show inspired by the Now You See Me film franchise, of course I'm going to get excited!
Lionsgate is producing the magic show, which will be called Now You See Me Live, and it will feature its own Four Horsemen! The show is described as "a state-of-the-art magic show with cutting-edge technology, surprise twists, and never-before-seen illusions from some of the greatest magicians in the world."
I really hope that they end up pulling off some spectacular magic! It would be so cool to see the same level stuff that we actually saw in the movies. As for who the four magicians will be, here are the details:
At the center of the show are The Horsemen – four of the leading illusionists in the world who will stun audiences with mind-bending magic: “The Showman” James More, viral magician from Britain’s Got Talent; “The Manipulator” Florian Sainvet, two-time French Magic Champion and finalist of France’s Got Talent; “The Escape Artist” Sabine van Diemen, from Holland’s Got Talent and West End Productions’ The Illusionists; and “The Mentalist” Enzo Weyne, from France’s Got Talent and the best-winning magic show by French Federation of Prestidigitator Artists. A fifth cast member, the show’s host, will be unique to each market and host the show in the local language of the touring region.
Below you'll find a promo spot for the event along with a few other videos featuring the magicians in action:
