Presto! School of Magic Series in the Works

Presto! School of Magic, an animated comedy series based on STUDIOCANAL’s The House of Magic, will center on a band of talented and curious kids who dream of becoming magicians.

Federation Kids & Family and TeamTO have joined forces on the project, with the former serving as the worldwide distributor, managing all television rights outside of China. TeamTO is co-producing Presto! School of Magic with Belgian partners Panache Productions and La Compagnie Cinématographique. The series has also secured partnerships with French broadcasters M6 and Canal+.

In Presto! School of Magic, star students Dylan and Lisa cannot believe how lucky they are to be part of this new school, founded by retired magician Lorenzo and his nephew in their old mansion. Along with fellow aspiring magicians Nica, Violet and Vincent, Lisa and Dylan learn the tricks of the trade.

Guillaume Hellouin, president and co-founder of TeamTO, said: “We’re thrilled to begin this partnership with our good friends at Federation, a company that—like TeamTO—has established itself as a leading player in the global kids’ market. Our creative visions for Presto! School of Magic are perfectly aligned, making them an ideal choice to distribute to all our friends around the world.”

Monica Levy, head of sales at Federation Kids & Family, said: “TeamTO has a solid reputation as one of the most creative studios in the industry today, and their unique productions share the same high-end values that complement our existing premium titles. Presto! School of Magic is an amazing series that has all the exceptional ingredients to inspire magic-loving kids the world over, and the timing for such an uplifting exceptionally crafted production is perfect. We know that it will definitely have our buyers spellbound!”
