C大象传媒 searches for The Sorcerer's Apprentice
|
A boarding school set deep in the heart of the English countryside becomes the home of the ultimate magical adventure, as a chosen few battle it out to become The Sorcerer's Apprentice in a major new series for C大象传媒.
听
Barney Harwood (Smile, Totally Doctor Who) presents the new series where 14 lucky scholars will be picked from auditions taking place across the UK.
听
The successful applicants are then whisked away to magic school where they will have 18 days of intense training by top professional magicians.
听
While the apprentices make the transformation from novice to magician, the children watching will also get to brush up on their own sorcery skills.
听
The apprentices will be schooled in the history of magic and folklore, the Latin for casting spells, chemistry, card tricks and will also look after resident magic animals.
听
As their knowledge and skills progress they will be taught the art of illusion.
听
At the end of each week, the children will compete, performing their magic in front of a live audience and the Sorcerer himself.
听
The Sorcerer's Apprentice, being made for C大象传媒 by independent production company Twenty Twenty, will be shown later this year.
听
Anne Gilchrist, Creative Director, C大象传媒 said: "The Sorcerer's Apprentice is going to be a great event for C大象传媒. Children of all ages are fascinated by magic and this show will inspire and amaze in equal measures."
听
Tim Carter, Head of Factual, Twenty Twenty, said: "Children's programmes are an exciting new area for us. They're creatively challenging and offer a real opportunity to innovate. It's great to be making programmes for such a passionate and discerning audience."
听
The series is produced by Helen Soden and the Executive Producer for the 大象传媒 is Tanya Motie.
