Val Valentino - "The Masked Magician" - "The 25th Hour Radio Show"

Описание: 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.
