Storyline

Did you know

The original Masked Magician was played by Bob Zmuda in 1981 in an Andy Kaufman sketch on episode 20 of season 2 of "Friday's TV Show". The sketch was called "Andy Kaufman meets the masked magician" this is believed to be the inspiration for this show.

The Masked Magician: Good evening. During the past year, I have shown you how some of magic's most famous illusions are secretly performed. I have done this under the guise of a masked face and an assumed name. This has led to a great deal of speculation about who I really am. Well tonight, the time has come for me to remove the mask, because I have something very important to share with you. There isn't enough time to tell you the whole story, but I will say that journey here has been amazing. I'm not revealing my identity because of all of the controversy surrounding these specials or because of the pressure that I'm receiving from my fellow magicians. I'm facing you tonight because of my love for magic, and to tell you why I chose to reveal these age-old secrets. In recent years, magic has taken a backseat to movies, video games, and other forms of high tech entertainment. I was afraid that magic was going to be forgotten. I wanted to do something about it. I wanted to rekindle that sense of wonder that we all felt when we saw our first magic show. I wanted to get people excited about magic again. Do you remember our first television special last year? The next day, at work, at school, and around the dinner table, people were buzzing with excitement. For the first time in a long while, magic was center stage again. I began to work professionally when I was just thirteen years old. I put on magic shows for kids in nearly every school in town. In these performances, I didn't just perform magic; I showed them how to make their own tricks. And they loved it. I discovered that knowing a few secrets made kids love magic even more. It made them feel part of it. Did I hurt these kids by letting them in on these tricks? I don't think so. Can you honestly say that you've been hurt by watching these television shows? The truth is, you probably love magic more now than ever before. Now you feel a part of it, too. It doesn't hurt the art of magic when the audience is in on a trick, because the secret is a small part of it. The real magic is in the performance. The best magicians like David Copperfield, Lance Burton, and Penn and Teller are the true artists. They lead their audiences through a wide range of emotions, from laughter to fear to sheer amazement. Every magician aspires to be that great, including me. [removes his mask] The Masked Magician: Valentino, the masked magician. Before I go, I'd like to leave you with this thought. It is my belief that the art of magic is for everyone, not just a select few who call themselves magicians, but for every single one of you. And especially you kids, because it is you kids that are the future of magic. I'm happy to report that as a direct result of these specials, magicians everywhere have been letting go of their old, tired tricks and moving forward, creating bigger and better illusions, and taking magic where it has never gone before. And now it's time for me to move forward, too. The next time you see me, I'll be performing new and exciting illusions that have never been seen before. Illusions that will thrill and amaze you. I hope I have contributed in some small way to your enjoyment of magic. So until we meet again, remember that the magic is in all of us. Thank you and good night.

Magician finding a big market for revealed mysteries

Las Vegas entertainer Val Valentino, 52, aka the Masked Magician, demystifies 120 illusions in 13 hourlong syndicated shows being broadcast worldwide.

On TV

  • What: “Breaking the Magician’s Code: Magic’s Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed”
  • When: 9 p.m. Mondays
  • Where: KVMY, Channel 12

The Las Vegas entertainer is universally despised by magicians who recoil in disgust from the man who wears a mask to protect his identity so that he will not be burned at the stake for his betrayal of the profession.

Actually it isn’t all that bad, but it makes for great marketing.

The Masked Magician has been revealing the secrets of the trade for more than a decade now and is still alive — and happy — to talk about it.

His name is Val Valentino, a 52-year-old native of Los Angeles who was tapped by the Fox Network in 1998 to portray a character called the Masked Magician for a series of specials called “Breaking the Magician’s Code.”

The specials were such a hit Valentino has been breaking the code with regularity ever since.

“The ratings for the shows went through the roof, with 26-point-something million viewers,” Valentino says. “Since then I haven’t stopped. I’ve been continually working, touring the world.

“I especially struck a nerve in Brazil. No one can explain it. It must be something in the psyche of the Latin American people. After the specials aired I spent two years in Brazil performing in large arenas with 15,000 seats — and we were turning away thousands. Then I went to Japan for a couple of years and did several TV specials there.”

The Masked Magician returned to television this week with a 13-episode syndicated series of “Breaking the Magician’s Code: Magic’s Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed.” The hourlong episodes are being shown worldwide.

“We reveal how 120 different illusions are achieved,” Valentino says.

Among the illusions are the death saw, passing through a steel wall, levitation, dismemberment and making an elephant disappear.

Valentino, who began performing magic at birthday parties at age 12, became a stoolie when Fox hired him to do the specials.

“Magicians were turning down the show,” he says. “I turned them down several times, but then some of the elder magicians started thinking that it would be much better to have magicians on the inside — but nobody was willing to do that.”

Valentino took the gig and ran with it.

“I went in to work for the magicians, to look after the art, knowing that my career could have ended then and there,” Valentino says. “But at the time it was the best solution to help out magicians.”

He says initially there was some controversy because magicians didn’t know what was going to happen.

“Some thought magic was going to be ruined forever,” he says. “But that wasn’t the case. It’s flourishing.”

Valentino reveals there are several ways to do any given trick.

“When you know a magic trick, you don’t know all of it,” he says. “The real magic is in the artistry of the magician, the performers themselves. You can make a coin disappear 20 different ways. The more people understand magic the more it helps the magicians because the fans go to see if they can catch them — usually they can’t.”

Valentino says what he did was broaden the interest in magic, help create a whole new generation of young magicians and to challenge established magicians to be even better at their craft.

“By revealing the older secrets it forced magicians to create new ideas, new concepts and to move the art forward,” he says.

He doesn’t feel the least guilty about revealing the secrets. “The Internet has created a whole new generation of cyber-magicians who show the tricks on YouTube.”

Since filming of the TV series is finished, Valentino is concentrating on several other projects, including a school for the new generation of magicians, called The Masked Magician’s Academy of Mystical Arts, in Las Vegas.

And he’s consulting on a Masked Magician graphic novel, which could become a film or TV series.

Valentino’s big break in magic came in 1986 when he appeared on “The Merv Griffin Show.”

The producers of “Playboy’s Girls of Rock ’n’ Roll” saw the performance and invited him to join their cast in Las Vegas.

“I’ve been here ever since,” he says.

On November 4 th , 1997 a TV series began called Breaking the Magician’s Code: Magic’s Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed. It starred a guy with a mask on that would reveal the “Secrets” of magic. His name, we now know, is Leonard Montano, a.k.a. Val Valentino, a.k.a. the “masked magician.”

Many magicians hated the “Masked Magician” because they felt that revealing the tricks on TV meant that magicians around the world would be out of business. There were a few who suffered, because Valentino gave away a few very custom magic tricks that belongs to very specific magicians. These magicians couldn’t do their routines for a very long time.

But the truth of the matter is, The Masked Magician unintentionally helped the magic community. Before Valentino went on TV, very few people were talking about magic. But during the time the series ran, tons of people were tuning in every Thursday night to see how a new trick was done.

This got people talking. Talking magic! Hiring magicians. Helping our business!

The smart magicians watched the show and came up with new magic tricks and new methods to do old magic tricks. They used the TV show to their advantage!

So, the moral of this story is not to “Reveal the Secret”. The moral is to be innovative. Watch what’s happening around you and adjust. If you can do that, you’ll be a way better magician.

Reviews for "Exploring the Pleasure Potential: Different Ways to Use the Hitachi Magic Wand Original"

1. Jane - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Hitachi magic wand, but it ended up being a disappointment. Firstly, the design is bulky and not very attractive. Secondly, the vibrations were overpowering and made me feel uncomfortable rather than pleasured. I also found it to be very loud, which took away from the experience. Overall, I would not recommend it.
2. Mike - 1 star - I was excited to try out the Hitachi magic wand, but it did not live up to the hype for me. The vibration intensity was too strong and felt too harsh on my sensitive areas. Additionally, the size and weight of the wand made it difficult to maneuver and hold comfortably. I ended up finding it more frustrating than pleasurable. I think there are better options out there.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - The Hitachi magic wand just didn't work for me. I found it too bulky and heavy, which made it difficult to use for extended periods of time. The vibrations were too intense and numbing, rather than stimulating. I also had trouble finding the right angle to use it effectively. Overall, it just wasn't the right fit for me and I will be looking for other options.
4. Mark - 3 stars - While the Hitachi magic wand had its merits, it fell short for me in a few areas. Firstly, the noise level was quite disruptive and made it hard to fully relax and enjoy the experience. Secondly, the vibration patterns were limited and didn't provide enough variety for me. I also found the cord to be inconvenient, as it limited my mobility during use. Overall, it was average at best and I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.
