I can understand why Valentino did this, yet I do understand the criticism he and the show received. In spite of said criticism and the lawsuits that he and the show received, he aspired fans and magicians to make new tricks, and that at least gets a tip of the hat from me. I read in a comment through here (and subsequently responded since I had no idea about it) that he was diagnosed with terminal cancer in October of 2017, and has refused conventional treatment. Currently he's still alive and still fighting. My thoughts and prayers go out to him, hoping he kicks this cancer to the curb, recovers and continues what he loves to do.
Valentino is corrrect. A lot of the sucess a magician has is in the presentation. I am retired after a career in TV production, and I love the way this show was produced. The warehouse with the subdued backlighting, the music, the mask and the way Vanentino is able to communitcate through gestures, the continuous video shots on the more dramatic illusions and of course the lovely assistants. Pileggi was great with the semi monotone, mildly sarcastic narration.
I love the Masked Magician.. his showmanship, delivery...A-1 Sadly, June 2018, Valentino has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and he has refused treatment...wanting to go out as is....
Thanks to your tip Dennis, I looked it up and he was apparently diagnosed with it in October of last year. He is still fighting it in spite of refusing conventional treatment. That is sad and very scary, my thoughts and prayers go out to him.
I don't think these ever got any home media releases (outside of that one VHS with the first episode from 1997 and a few other tricks), and I'm pretty sure it's because the pissed magicians would probably sue the distribution company and get these pulled from shelves quickly.
@@GamingDelight The main issue I have is that these streaming platforms tend to treat videotape footage, which is what this show was recorded on, like film footage, and they don't de-interlace the video into 60 progressive frames per second. It may seem a small step, but for online streaming it makes an enormous difference. That's why I can't really enjoy streaming platforms, aside from them being far too corporate (and in fact, being on this website is bad enough), they just don't know how to digitize interlaced video.
@@AhDollar Still, you assumed there would be litigation from other magicians if these specials were released on home media. But there were no reports of litigation when this was streamed on Netflix. So I seriously doubt legal threats are the reason these specials aren't on physical home media yet.
This man is a legend for exposing trickers and magicians so we can live with happiness we know the secrets he’s a legend magician for showing us the entertainment thank you
Same! The piano, the credits, the GUILLOTINE, THE TITLE SEQUENCE, THE WEIRD WAIL SOUND EFFECT, AND THE DIGITAL MASK IN THE TITLE SEQUENCE. But it was still a great show.
I know a lot of religious nuts who do believe in magic, god-induced mostly. I used to attend churches, so i know the the level of crazy that is religion.
4EverBanishment I didn't like the revival because it felt bland and forced. none of the same feel the original show gave off and it just felt so empty and sad. like a 2000s internet cartoon revival no one sees, or a netflix special that ends on short notice.

Same.
I agree with you. Val wanted magician to reinvent their tricks instead of becoming stagnant by reusing old tricks.

True. Prostate cancer.

Has he died already ?
Gonçalo Lencastre no he’s still fighting it
He's cured this year but it sucks that he had to performed magic at someone's house in Brazil under quarantine cuz of COVID-19 Pandemic
This is so deep mad respect to him
Where can I purchase this on DVD? I can binge watch these episodes all day long and still comb back for more.

That didn't stop the series from getting streamed on Netflix for a few years.

What Valentino did was brave and amazing, he was so right to do it too. He's an amazing magician and this series has been incredible to watch.
Thanks a bunch for making this show I love the show and I love it so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so much 💜💜💜
It is eerie how right every one of Valentino's words is.
You know... with him being the executive producer we should have seen this coming in hindsight lol
damm. why the f am I simping over someone who is probobly 50 years old rn.
He is actually 64 years old 🤣
That dummy scared the shit out of me when i was a kid
just MAGNIFICENT!!!!!
his voice seemed to change with and without the mask
10/10 finale.
The first trick with the car was a dramatised version of how Vince Mcmahon pulled of his limo explosion angle.
Yup, that failed angle
Magician: (pulls off mask) it was me Austin. It was me all along
JR: son of a b!tch.
2:40 imagine getting tied in that thing and all of a sudden you need to itch…
valentio is amazing this is on Netflix
there were only like 6 of these specials, but I remember seeing them on TV a lot more often, maybe as reruns? Anyone know?
F*** every horror movie, this scared the shit out of me
Same! The piano, the credits, the GUILLOTINE, THE TITLE SEQUENCE, THE WEIRD WAIL SOUND EFFECT, AND THE DIGITAL MASK IN THE TITLE SEQUENCE. But it was still a great show.
❤ur show👍BRAVO
I thoink what you have done is great as some religious people do not believe in magic, for them this will be an art worth viewing!
I know a lot of religious nuts who do believe in magic, god-induced mostly. I used to attend churches, so i know the the level of crazy that is religion.
I wonder if he mysteriously disappeared after this show.
