now it's time for the biggest secret of all,
our final reveal,the unmasking of our magician,this is not a trick,
for the first time you'll actually hear the magician's voice,and see who's been hiding underneath that spooky mask,
time for the unveiling
good evening,during the past year,I have shown you how some of magic exposed famous illusions are secretly performed,
i have done these under the guys of an masked face
and in a sealed name,this is led to a great deal of speculation about who i really am,
well tonight the time has come for me to remove the mask,
because i have something very important to share with you,there isn't enough time to tell you the whole story,
but it will said that the journey here has been amazing.
i'm not revealling my identity because of all of the controversy arounding these specials,
or because of the pressure that i'm receiving from my fellow magcians
i face you tonight
because of my love for magic,
and to tell you why i chose to reveal these age old secrets,
in recent years,magic has taken a back seat
to movies,video games,
and other forms of high tech entertaiment.i was afraid that magic was gonna be forgotten,
i wanted to do something about it,i wanted to recandle that
sense of wonder that we all felt,
when we saw our first magic show.
i wanted to get people
excited about magic again,
do you remember our first television special last year?
the next day i worked at school and around the dinner table people were buzzing with excitement.
for the first time in a long wild magic was sent to a stage again.
i began to work professionally when i was just 13 years old.
i put on magic shows
for kids in nearly every school in town.in these performances,
i didn't just performed magic,
i showed them how to make their own tricks,
and they loved it. i discovered
that know any few secrets made kids love magic even more.
and made them feel a part of it.
did I hurt these kids by letting them in on these tricks,
i don't think so.can you honestly say that you've been hurt by watching these television shows.
the truth is you probably love magic
more now than never before.
now you feel a part of the tune.it doesn't hurt the art of magic
when the audience is in on a trick,
because the secret is a small part of it.
the real magic is in the performance.the best magician like David Dopperfield,Lanz Burtton,and Peling Teller,
are the true artists.they leave their audience to a wide-range of emotions
from laughter to fear,
to share mazement.every magician inspires
to be that great
including me.
Valentino, the masked magician.
before i go,i'd like to leave you with a thought,
it is my belief that the art of magic is for everyone.
i just select few who call themselves magicians,
but for every single one of you,
and especially the kids because it is you kids that are the future of magic.
i am happy to report that it's the direct result of these specials, magicians everywhere,
have been letting go of their old tired tricks and move it forward.
creating bigger and better illusions, and taking magic where it has never gone before.
and now it's time for me to move forward too.
the next time you see me, i will be performing new exciting illusions that have never been seen before.
illusions that will thrill and amaze you.
i hope i've contributed it in some small way to your enjoyment of magic.
so until we meet again, remember that the magic isn't out of us.
thank you and good night!
