Brief Review
As the main participants of the project there are six famous in the world illusionists, whose task is to demonstrate their magical talent during five episodes. In the sixth episode of the main contenders for the title of the greatest magician have to fight in the final.
Some of the tricks presented in the program, have been shown for the first time, and many of them became a real shock for both experienced audience and beginners. One feature of the show is that the roles of the judges are played by the participants themselves, who by voting must decide who should remain in the final battle.
The coming of the renewed series is being awaited right now. The audience is eager to watch new unusual tricks and try to guess illusionists’ secrets.
Viewers’ Number and Series Rating
A strangely small rating of The Next Great Magician on IMDB (only 6/10) doesn’t prove that the series is worth forgetting. When new season release date is announced, the number of the viewers is supposed to be bigger in comparison with the latest season one. According to official information the first episode was watched by 3.62 million viewers. In case the authors come to the same conclusion concerning soon continuation, the schedule of upcoming show will be announced in the nearest future.
