 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

North Carolina represented in the entertainment industry internationally: Illusionist Sammy Cortino to tour

(HICKORY, North Carolina — January 10, 2012) North Carolina will be represented from an international front as the tarheel state has given birth to a new industry: Illusionist Sammy Cortino. The 22 year old is set to venture across the fruited plain and overseas under the roster of the Nashville-based agency, Music City Artists and the country’s oldest talent agency, Alkahest Artists & Attractions. With this positioning, the illusionist will have headliner status as he performs stage shows in arts centers seating up to 1,500 people. Instead of an edgy, things-you’ve-never-seen-before take to magic; Cortino and the agencies are bringing to America’s stages a back-to-basics approach to magic in its purest, up-to-date form: creating momentum in the entertainment industry worldwide.

At over 80 hours into rehearsal, Cortino and Leading Lady, Lyndsay Thomas are just 20 hours shy of premiering the illusionist’s touring stage show on January 27th at the Old Post Office Playhouse in Newton before it hits the road. The premiere will be recorded in High Definition multi-cam by Jackson Group Interactive and Cortino’s agents will distribute the footage in the performing arts and television industries internationally. This will be Cortino’s last Hickory area performance as the illusionist moves to Nashville, TN in March to set the Music City as his new base of operations.

The show will feature stage illusions incorporated into drama, music, dance, romance, and comedy as a theatrical medium to express life and preserve magic’s foundation for future generations. Accompanied by his graceful Leading Lady, Lyndsay Thomas of Kent, he will share with audience magic’s rich history by showcasing the art’s masters and presenting classic illusions like Houdini’s Metamorphosis or the renowned Gamolo Stage Levitation. Through music, illusion, and storytelling; tribute will be paid to his cousin Johnny Mercer. Mercer was co-founder of Capitol Records and collaborated with Frank Sinatra, Henry Mancini, and Ray Charles.

Track the production of the show on the official Sammy Cortino website, http://www.SammyCortino.com or call the Old Post Office Playhouse box office at (828) 464-6128 to buy tickets to the premiere. Box office hours are 10:00 am-5:30 pm Wednesday-Friday.
