Based in a Fun House and hosted by magician "extraordinaire" Jay Sankey and his pal, the Amazing Kid Assistant, Bridget Hall, SpellzTM is a fast paced, fun romp that reveals the mysteries behind everyday and “not so everyday” magic.
Using common objects such as coins, cards, and clips...paper clips that is, Jay will perform his amazing and unique brand of magic with humour and loads of fun. After each trick, Jay will then show Bridget, and the viewers just how he pulled it off.
Our pair of hosts will also talk “Tricky History” and share with us some fantastic stories of magic in the long ago and not so long ago past. From sorcerers of ancient Rome to Houdini’s disappearing elephant trick, the Tricky History segment tells us the exciting tales behind the rich and incredible history of magic in quick and easy bites.
Accessible, understated, yet full of amazing tricks and stories, SpellzTM is sure to enthrall children and parents alike.
