Canuck net gets Tricked

A Canadian kids’ TV channel has ordered a local version of ITV Studios magic format Tricked, with veteran magician Eric Leclerc on board as host.

Corus Entertainment-owned YTV will begin airing the 20×30′ series next month and Vancouver-based Force Four Entertainment is handling production.

It will see Leclerc go undercover to pull well-crafted pranks on unsuspecting people, all caught on film by hidden cameras.

It is based on the format of the same name that is distributed worldwide by ITV Studios Global Entertainment.
