PHILIPPINES
(September 01,2017) Sony Pictures Television Networks, Asia announced today a
new original series for AXN featuring Australia’s top magician, illusionist and
escapologist, Cosentino. The four-part series, entitled The Elements, will
captivate audiences with Cosentino’s mesmerizing street magic, large-scale
illusions and
death-defying escapes all themed around Earth, Wind, Fire and Water.
The
filming kicks off this week in Singapore before Cosentino takes his magic on
tour, filming against iconic backdrops in Taipei, Manila and Kuala Lumpur.
Various popular Asian artists, including singers, actors and models will join
Cosentino as he performs his spell-binding stunts, creating a raft of “how did
he do that?” moments.
Cosentino
has quickly become a global star within the magic industry. He is a multiple
winner of the prestigious Merlin Award (magic’s version of the Academy Awards)
including acknowledgement as the ‘International Magician of the Year’ and the
‘International Escape Artist of the Year’.
Virginia
Lim, Senior Vice President and Head of Content, Production and Marketing, said,
“The Elements supports our vision to create a pipeline of original, locally
relevant series that engages our viewers both on screen and via social
platforms. As a world-renowned illusionist, Cosentino made his AXN debut as a
guest star during the Asia’s Got Talent finale episode in 2015. We’re thrilled
to partner with Cosentino again to usher in his magic revolution in Asia.”
Commenting
on The Elements, Cosentino said, “I am thrilled to be embarking on this new
partnership with AXN, who is the undisputed leader of English language
broadcasting across Asia. I am very proud of what we have created with The
Elements series. The concept of the shows and the magic and escapology
contained within them is unlike anything else that has been seen before”.
The
Elements will premiere in early 2018 first and exclusively on AXN.
