TEN EPISODE SERIES WILL PREMIERE TUESDAY, JANUARY 13 AT 10PM

NEW YORK - December 22, 2014 - Syfy today announced that it has acquired the unscripted series Troy: Street Magic, featuring one of England's hottest young magicians. Troy Street Magic will premiere Tuesday, January 13 at 10PM (ET/PT) on Syfy.

This stylish 10-part series showcases 25-year-old magician Troy Von Scheibner as he hits the streets of London to astound unsuspecting locals, tourists and hipsters alike with his distinctive blend of close-up magic and spectacular stunts.

Taking inspiration from London's iconic landmarks, magic's newest cutting-edge star unveils such tricks as teleporting across the historic Tower Bridge and causing it to rain money in London's financial quarter, provoking a mixture of mayhem and pure delirium in the lucky onlookers.

Raised in London, Von Scheibner began performing magic when he was 12 years old. Three years later he was named one of Great Britain's top young magicians.

Troy Street Magic is a production of Zig Zag Productions (executive producers Danny Fenton and Rob Hyde) and GroupM Entertainment Limited (executive producer Abigail Adams).
