\nThe BBC recently called Luis \u201ca global superstar\u201d and with his international reputation for stylish and sophisticated magic, we agree! Luis is the man who made an elephant disappear in under five seconds, and a Ferrari melt away whilst surrounded by members of the audience. As legendary magician David Copperfield says, \u201cWhatever Luis does, he does it with style.\u201d

\nIn 2010, Luis de Matos was honoured when his fellow magicians around the world voted him \u2018Illusionist of the Decade\u2019.

\nYou can see Luis in action starting at 7.30 tonight on BBC One and BBC HD in the new Saturday night spectacular series \u2018The Magicians\u2019<\/a>. Hosted by Lenny Henry<\/a>, the magical brains behind the show include R. Paul Wilson and Alexis Conran<\/a> to from the BBC hit show \u2018The Real Hustle\u2019. The Magicians features Luis de Matos, Chris Korn<\/a> and comedy magic duo Barry & Stuart<\/a>. Each week on the show, they\u2019ll be joined by a celebrity assistant and then go head-to-head performing tricks from the classic to never-before-attempted. With no phone lines or judges, the fate of the three acts lies in the hands of the studio audience who\u2019ll decide who wins and who\u2019ll face the losers\u2019 forfeit.

\nGood luck to all the magicians for tonight\u2019s show.
