AUSTRALIA’S HOPE FOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS OF MAGIC COMES TO HOLLYWOOD FRINGE

view show |

Simon Coronel’s Manipulations returns to the Hollywood Fringe Festival in
preparations for the World Championships of Magic
Los Angeles, Ca – May 18th, 2012

In July 2012, Simon Coronel will be representing Australia at the FISM World
Championships of Magic. In preparation for the competition, Coronel will be returning to the US with his award nominated show, Manipulations.

Since its debut at the 2009 Melbourne Magic Festival, Manipulations has aired in
Hollywood, Las Vegas, and Edinburgh to critical acclaim. At the 2011 Hollywood Fringe
Festival, Coronel walked away with nominations for “Best International Show” and “Best
Cabaret / Variety Show”.

Now, the show has been modified to include the routine he will be presenting at the
World Championships in England.

The FISM championships, which are held every three years in a different country,
represent the highest level of competition in the industry. This year, Manipulations
presents a rare chance to see a world championship entry act live in the lead-up to the
competition itself.

“I think Simon is amazing. I’ve seen a lot of magic acts over the years, but he’s in a
special class by himself. Compelling, funny, and I can’t imagine anyone being better at
his craft." Todd David Schwartz, LA Weekly

Simon is available for interview and photo shoot.
