Magician to host business TV show

TAMPA — Comedy magician Dewayne Hill will direct, produce and host a Tampa area television series about local small businesses, travel and food destinations.

“Hidden Magic” will also give tips and advice on business and marketing.

Hill recently secured investments that will allow him to produce the program. “Hidden Magic” will first air in June on Tampa Bay Community Network two nights a week during prime time. The network reaches 500,000 homes, according to a press release.

“I strongly believe most of the 'Magic' in America is small business, so I wanted to create a show that will be interesting to watch and encourage potential new entrepreneurs to get started with their own business dreams or goals but also give insight to existing business on new ideas or tactics that can help everyone's business grow,” says Hill in a statement.

Plans for the show include featuring businesses and restaurants across Florida and national travel destinations such as Chicago, New York City and Las Vegas. After a couple seasons, plans also include shopping the show to a streaming service or television network.
