According to Variety, Nash Entertainment is working with Virgin Comics to develop a graphic novel based on the Masked Magician made famous in the '90s Fox series of TV specials, Breaking the Magician's Code: Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed. The Fox Reality Channel is planning to re-run the five Magician specials this spring.
The series was criticized by professional magicians who, understandably, didn't like their biggest secrets revealed. The real Masked Magician turned out to be illusionist Val Valentino, but now a fictional version is in development who will use magic to solve crimes and wears a mask to hide from the law.
Nash CEO, Bruce Nash wants to use the graphic novel to take to studios and networks to attempt to get interest in a series or film based on the property. Nash was quoted as saying, 'It's a cross between 'Darkman' and the movie 'FX'.'
Nash is currently involved in various TV and film projects including Who Wants to Be a Superhero?
