(HICKORY, North Carolina — August 26, 2008) Magic’s Royal Duke Sammy Cortino was presented his Doctoral Degree in Magic, the most comprehensive degree offered by the International Magicians Society. With over 37,000 international members, the society is the world’s largest.
Magic forms taught in the program include paper magic, hypnotism, grand illusion, card manipulation, money magic, and other varieties. Sammy, 19, says the course has allowed him to produce routines in a more studied manner. “I learned the conventions of every aspect of all magic forms. Creating solutions for a new number is now a snap!”
With a Doctoral Degree under his belt, what does Sammy have underway in his art? He is hard at work securing an agent to book illusion shows at performing arts centers internationally and is in the early stages of taking his large-scale, 90 minute Las Vegas style show to regional performing arts centers in 2009. At the Hayes Center (Blowing Rock), he was a soldout hit and will enthrall audiences in these future engagements!
