TORONTO – Corus' YTV is readying a new original series that promises to baffle unsuspecting people with magic, sleight-of-hand, and sneaky pranks.
A fresh take on the hidden camera genre, Tricked sees veteran magician Eric Leclerc go undercover to use magic tricks to prank kids, their friends and families, turning everyday social situations into hilarious and astounding moments.
“Magic is universally exciting and I love its ability to connect people through wonder and amazement,” said Leclerc, in the show’s news release. “We shot nearly 300 tricks for the series and each episode is jam-packed with laughs, shock, and awe for the whole family.”
Produced for YTV by Force Four Entertainment, Tricked (20 x 30) premieres September 5 at 7:30 PM ET/PT and will air Monday to Thursday on YTV.
