That wasn't Valentino, it's the guy who appeared in the more recent Masked Magician shows which were produced by Val Valentino.

Ah right I didn't realise.

There was another masked magician who appeared in one programme after Valentino unmasked himself and before the most recent MM shows. Val's original stated intent was to revitalise magic by exposing old and tired effects and thus encourage 'new thinking, new effects, new magic'. As Val produced the recent series, I guess he discovered there was more money to be made in exposure than in 'new thinking, new effects, new magic' !
