    Master Illusionist and Magic Consultant, Paul Kieve,
    Develops First Ever Wizard Curriculum Exclusively for Sci Fi

    NEW YORK, Dec. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- SCIFI today launched a one of a kind
    online Wizard Education and Certification Program --
    http://www.scifi.com/earthsea/wizard, as part of the premiere of SCI
    FI CHANNEL's two-part original miniseries, Legend of Earthsea --
    based on the award-winning books by Ursula K. Le Guin.

    In the tradition of Sorcerer's apprentices everywhere, the Wizard
    Certification curriculum enables magic aficionados to, like in the
    Legend of develop a mastery of wizardry and magic.

    SCI FI's online Wizard Education and Certification Program puts a
    high-tech spin on magic by enabling Internet users to hone their
    skills with a series of web seminars or "Web-inars" each designed to
    instruct on everything from "spells" to "mind reading" to the
    mechanics of "sleight of hand. Users can download their official
    Certificate of Wizardry upon successful completion of a comprehensive
    final exam.

    SCI FI selected Paul Kieve, preeminent magic expert and stage
    illusionist, to develop the exclusive Wizard Certification
    curriculum. Kieve previously served as Physical Magic Consultant on
    Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and as personal magic tutor
    to Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry. Kieve is the official magic
    consultant to the Guinness World Records and he, personally, holds
    two Guinness world records in the magic and performing arts
    categories.

    "Kieve's extensive knowledge of Wizardry and pedigree as a Physical
    Magic Consultant on the Harry Potter film made him a natural partner
    to develop a companion magic curriculum for the miniseries. The
    Wizard Certification course taps into the public's growing
    fascination with fantasy programming enables SCI FI enthusiasts to
    experience the Legend of Earthsea in a wholly interactive way,"
    comments Adam Stotsky, SVP, Marketing, SCI FI.

    "The Legend of Earthsea's protagonist, Ged, is not a natural Wizard
    but rather someone who must study to master his craft. The online
    certification course mirrors Ged's own quest for knowledge engages
    magic enthusiasts everywhere in a serious study of wizardry," states
    Chief Wizard Consultant, Paul Kieve.

    The premier episode of The Legend of Earthsea will air on SCIFI on
    Dec 13 at 9:00PM EST and the second episode will air on Tuesday Dec
    14 at 9:00PM EST.
