Alongside a group of misfit kids who become his closest friends, young Suchard discovers his extraordinary abilities and learns to harness them for mentalist tricks, solving problems—and perhaps even finding his first love. 'Lior Suchard has become a true global sensation with his mentalist abilities and 'Young Suchard' will tell the truly remarkable story of how he discovered his unique powers and learned how to utilize them,' said Dori Media CEO Nadav Palti who pointed to its universal appeal for entire families to enjoy. Suchard remarked: 'People around the world always ask me two things: 'How do you do it?' and 'How did it all begin?' So together with Dori Media, we created a series that's real, authentic and totally made up, but will definitely answer those questions.' Suchard is renowned for his one-of-a-kind performances for A-list celebrities, top business moguls, primetime TV specials and events for Fortune 500 companies in over 90 countries. Created by Elad Chen, Suchard, Michael Stern, Shlomit Arviv and directed by Aaron Geva and Mickey Triest, the series targets young viewers who will get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at mentalism – a craft that, contrary to popular belief, doesn't involve reading minds. Instead, it combines a deep understanding of body language, social cues, anatomy, mathematics, custom-designed tools and much more. In other news, Dori Media and Abot Hameiri, in partnership with America Television, Kapow, and Open Kimono, announced their plans last month for a brand-new original game show, 'The Auction.' Produced locally by America Estudios, the show is set to debut globally in mid-year on América Television, Peru's top-rated network. Dori Media will oversee worldwide sales of the series. 'The Auction' features two teams of five family members competing in a high-energy, suspense-filled auction. Each team is given an equal budget and must strategically acquire the most valuable prizes, all while aiming to reach the final round and claim the grand prize.

Holistic Wealth Management: Balancing Family Support, Growth, And Legacy Planning
Cape Town – South Africans in their mid-30s to 50s are navigating some of the most financially demanding years of their lives, caught between raising children, supporting ageing parents, and preparing for retirement. This generation, often referred to as the 'sandwich generation', requires nuanced financial planning and disciplined decision-making, according to leading wealth manager Citadel. 'By midlife, many individuals have achieved professional success and are earning more than ever before, yet their financial responsibilities often outgrow their salaries,' says Jodi Suchard, Advisory Partner at Citadel. 'Managing debt, saving for the future, supporting dependents, living well, and planning your legacy requires a holistic and well-considered wealth strategy.' In the second episode of The Wealth Journey podcast, Suchard and Seugnet Moggee, Fiduciary Partner at Citadel, unpack the unique wealth challenges faced by midlife professionals and offer practical guidance on how to protect their family's financial well-being. Avoid Lifestyle Inflation – Prioritise Financial Resilience 'As your income increases, it's tempting to upgrade your lifestyle,' says Suchard. 'But we urge individuals to stay grounded. Pay off debt quickly, maintain consistent savings, and live within your means. Our goal is for clients to reach a point at which they work because they want to, not because they have to.' Suchard emphasises that it is never too late to start. 'Even if you've missed the early years of saving, it's still possible to chart a successful financial path,' she says. 'A professional advisor can help develop a lifetime cash flow plan that aligns your current income with your future goals, ensuring financial independence remains achievable.' Estate Planning and Fiduciary Oversight Must Not Be Delayed A critical step for anyone with children is to have a valid, up to date will in place. 'The absence of a will can causes major legal and emotional difficulties for your loved ones, especially where guardianship is concerned. It is important to name guardians for minor children in case of unexpected events,' cautions Moggee. 'Drafting a will is not simply a legal requirement, it's a cornerstone of responsible legacy planning.' Suchard adds: 'Wills need to be reviewed regularly, especially after major life changes like divorce, the birth of a child, or a move abroad. It's also never too early to prepare a will.' Plan for Multigenerational Financial Demands The financial burden of caring for both parents and children can be overwhelming without careful planning. 'Cashflow is key,' says Suchard. 'Include future family events like weddings, medical care for ageing parents, and educational expenses in your plan, so that such events do not become financial emergencies.' Moggee notes that fostering financial independence in children is just as important. 'Inheriting money is a privilege, not a right.' Suchard agrees,' Parents need to educate their children early on the value of budgeting, saving, and investment. Involving children in financial discussions, even in small ways, can help reduce entitlement and foster accountability.' Trusts and Estate Structures Must Suit the Individual While trusts remain a relevant tool for 'protecting assets, managing inheritance and safeguarding against financial misuse', both experts caution against using them for the wrong reasons. 'Trusts are not tax dodges, they are strategic tools for families with specific needs, such as minor children, beneficiaries with special needs, or multi-jurisdictional estates,' explains Moggee. 'We also need to caution that trusts come with complexity, costs, and compliance obligations.' Divorce, Remarriage and Inheritance Require Proactive Legal and Financial Planning Post-divorce financial readjustments are necessary to avoid unintended consequences. Wills need to be updated post-divorce, especially as ex-spouses may still inherit unless a will is updated within three months of the divorce. 'Individuals often forget to update their wills or fail to understand the implications of marital contracts,' says Suchard. 'In cases of blended families or second marriages, proper fiduciary structuring is vital to protect children from previous relationships and ensure that inheritance is distributed fairly and according to your wishes.' Conclusion: A Holistic Plan for a Complex Phase of Life 'By midlife, the stakes are higher, and mistakes are more costly,' says Moggee. 'A trusted advisor who understands the full financial and personal picture can coordinate across fiduciary, advisory, and investment planning.' Suchard agrees: 'Every family's story is different, and so their financial roadmap must be unique to them. We start by listening – because wealth isn't just about money, it's about the freedom to choose the remarkable life you want to lead and legacy you want to leave behind.'
