MUMBAI: Action oriented broadcaster AXN will offer viewers
more magic with illusionist Cyril along with his entire family.
'Cyril’s
Family Vacation: Hawaii Edition' kicks off on 17 June at 8.30
pm. This follows
on the heels of 'Simply Cyril', which had aired on AXN previously.
For
the six episode series, which will air every Sunday, Cyril
shows viewers his personal side when he takes his “family”
on a much needed
vacation. Turns out, the family has a little magic in their
DNA… and when combined with charm and wit, a little bit
goes a long way.
The
sorcerer-in-disguise will infiltrate popular vacation spots
and common everyday places in and around Hawaii in order to
bring onlookers a magical moment of wonder. Tourists and locals
alike will think that there’s nothing out of the ordinary…
that they’re just speaking to another friendly vacationer…until
something completely unexpected and unexplainable happens.
Maybe
the wannabe surfer suddenly begins to defy gravity. Or maybe
the nice looking older gentleman on the golf course uses his
magic putter to create havoc on
the 17th hole. Or, the unassuming grandmother sneezes a canary
from her handkerchief. Whatever the magical instance, the
targets are completely unaware that they’re being played;
and every moment is captured with both exposed and hidden
cameras.
The
show is being positioned as being a departure from the traditional
street magic series that established Cyril. The show will
feature a way of magic storytelling. With one of Japan’s
special effects make-up teams at work, each character is brought
to life with realism. Set against the scenic beauty of Hawaii,
the show is an addictive magical social experiment that tests
the limits of
what is and is not possible.
To
market the show AXN has brought Cyril to India. Cyril will
be performing a stunt for his fans in India on the Carter
Road Promenade from 5 - 7 pm today. Cyril ‘hangs out’
with his Indian fans for
the very first time.
Cyril’s
Family Vacation plays with human reactions - the close up
reactions of those experiencing the impossible as well as
the reactions of those who witness the magical commotion from
far.
