The showâs format includes the competition and elimination of the celebrities, each given a stipulated time to present and perfect their magic tricks before a live audience.
The show is divided into eight episodes, with one celebrity being eliminated after each episode. In each episode, the celebrities learn different types of magic, including close-up magic, stage magic, and mentalism.
The celebrities also have the opportunity to work with world-renowned magicians, such as Criss Angel, Penn and Teller, and David Copperfield, who serve as mentors and offer guidance and advice to the competitors.
