New Year’s Message from Cyril
Dear friends,
It’s been quite an interesting and eventful year. So much has happened… both good and bad. For myself, 2011 has been full of changes. Its been a year of transition, metamorphosis, death and rebirth. FYI, nothing bad but all positive for a better future.
For those who have supported and followed me in my career, you may have noticed that the last tv special I did was from last spring in May. After delivering over 20 specials back to back, it was time for a break. I decided to take the rest of this year off from TV and my live tours.
Thank you all for your understanding and especially thank you for your continued support.
That said, its not like I’ve been doing nothing for this past several months. I have some exciting news to share. I been working on a new secret project, something I wish I could tell you all about but I can’t just yet.
What I can say is that I’m now typing this message to you from the airport and I’m on my way to a secret city somewhere on this planet to film an all new style TV series. Oh oh… I may have said too much already!
Well, I’ll be gone from home filming the entire month of January and will be back early February. We’ll be making a public press announcement of my “secret” project sometime in March. So until then, I ask everyone to wait patiently to hear from me.
Ok, time to board. This is it everyone… I hope you all had a great 2011. I wish everyone a happy holidays and prosperous new years!
See you all in 2012
Love, light, magic…
Cyril

Cyril’s Magic Moments – Past and Future
UPDATED: VERY UPSETTING
Hello everyone
Lately there has been an individual (USA) out who claims his “Magic act” is new and never been seen before. This got us a little angry because the magic he claims to be his, is in fact an Original Cyril Signature Act. - This is an act that Cyril has been performing for years.
So we thought we would post this video (sorry it’s a big one 34 megs
) montage of some of Cyril’s Magic Moments (acts) – Gee I hope he doesn’t rip these off!
Thanks for all of your support!

Saturday Night Live JAPAN coming soon!
Japanese version of ‘Saturday Night Live’ to debut in June
One of my favorite shows in America is coming to Japan. I literally grew up watching SNL in America. It will be a new kind of live TV entertainment for the Japanese audience and the program will challenge artists, guest celebrities, and the regular comedians on the show to really push their imaginations to their limits to not only create a different style of Japanese TV entertainment, but to live up to the American level of twisting controversial daily real life issues and rein-acting skits to actually be funny. This show(or at least in America) is all about being able to take the piss out of ones self or daily occurrences. Just take a look at some of the other skits performed in the states by well known artists such as Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, and more.Links below. Check it out.
TOKYO —
A Japanese version of America’s long-running “Saturday Night Live” sketch comedy show will air June 4 on Fuji Television from 11:10 p.m., the station said. Popular comedians Koji Imada, 45, and Sanma Akashiya, 55, will host the monthly edition of the show.
“Saturday Night Live” debuted on NBC in 1975 and has continued ever since, with popular actors, performing artists and even politicians making almost-obligatory appearances on the venerated show over the years. The 90-minute show follows a sketch comedy format, typically featuring a monologue by a guest host to kick off the show, and a live musical performance to end it.
Many famous American comedians have the show to thank for launching their respective careers, and recurring sketches have frequently been spun off into feature-length films. The show is broadcast in 130 countries worldwide and has influenced a number of Japanese sketch comedy shows despite there being no official Japanese version until now.
“Saturday Night Live JPN” will run about 45 minutes in length. Comedian Takashi Okamura, 40, will be the program’s first guest, with performer Ken Hirai, 39, providing the first musical performance. Producers say that, like the show’s American inspiration, fans can expect big-name guests, including politicians, to make appearances. Former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi is expected to make a surprise appearance.
My TV special ratings just in!
Just thought you’d want to know that the ratings to my 2 hour prime time special last night just came in and it’s great news. We averaged a 12.6 % share for the total of the 2 hours (which is not bad at all!) and at it’s peak escalated up to 17.2% in the 2nd hour. In simple terms, that means everyone is happy. None of this would have been possible without your support!
Also, my website cyrilmagic.com and cyrilmagic.jp was slammed for hours during and after the program. We’ll be making some changes and adding more stuff available to our site so make sure to sign up for the newsletter to keep up to date and keep checking in on us time to time. There will be more stuff coming to you later this year.
Thanks again and feel free to post stuff below. I’d love to know what’s on your mind!
Your friend in magic,
Cyril
