EspañolSeries About Early Life of International Mind-Reading Sensation Master Mentalist, Lior Suchard, Heading into Production This Summer
Dori Media Group is set to take original new series “Young Suchard,” which follows the early life of international mind-reading sensation Lior Suchard, out to the global marketplace later this year, it was announced today by Dori Media CEO Nadav Palti.
Suchard is considered to be the world’s leading mentalist, known for his unique performances for A-list celebrities, global business tycoons, primetime TV specials, and shows for Fortune 500 companies across more than 90 countries. “Young Suchard” is the tale of how he rose to become an international phenomenon–the true, precise, and entirely made-up story —a rare glimpse behind the curtain of his secrets where viewers will get to learn some of the secrets behind the special abilities, and maybe even becoming a mentalist themselves.
For the first time, young viewers will get a behind-the-scenes look at mentalism—a craft that, despite popular belief, doesn’t involve actually reading minds. Instead, it blends a deep understanding of body language, social behaviors, anatomy, mathematics, the design of custom-made devices, and much more.
The 20 episodes series will blur the lines between reality and imagination, offering a unique blend of comedy and drama with a nostalgic wink to the vibrant 90s in which he grew up. “Young Suchard” is produced and distributed globally by Dori Media and is expected to make its debut on Kan Kids in Israel later this year.
“Lior Suchard has become a true global sensation with his mentalist abilities and ‘Young Suchard’ will tell the truly remarkable story of how he discovered his unique powers and learned how to utilize them,” said Dori Media’s Palti. “This series will clearly have universal appeal and offer a fun hour of television that the entire family can enjoy.”
Suchard added, “People around the world always ask me two things: ‘How do you do it?’ and ‘How did it all begin?’ So together with Dori Media, we created a series that’s real, authentic—and totally made up, but will definitely answer those questions “
Together with a group of underdog kids who become his closest friends, Suchard uncovers his unique abilities and learns how to use them for mentalist manipulation, problem-solving—and maybe even to find his first love.
“Young Suchard”, produced by Dori Media, was created by Elad Chen, Lior Suchard, Michael Stern, Shlomit Arviv and directed by Aaron Geva and Mickey Triest.
Last month, Dori Media and Abot Hameiri, in collaboration with America Television, Kapow and Open Kimono, unveiled plans for original new game show “The Auction.” “The “Auction,” which will be produced locally by America Estudios, will make its global debut mid-year in Peru on América Television, that nation’s top-rated network. Dori Media will handle all worldwide sales of the series.
“The Auction” pits two teams of five family members against each other, in a fun and suspenseful auction setting. Each team is given an equal budget and looks to acquire prizes with the highest value, all while trying to reach the final and win the show’s grand prize.
