Template:Italic title Template:Expand French Les 100 tours de Centour was a 1971–1972 French language children's television show made in Quebec by Radio-Québec. Its stories revolved around Verbo, a genie with magical power who was trying to recapture Centour (another genie who had escaped from the same land as Verbo).[1][2][3]

The show's main purpose was language acquisition, which was conveyed by the way Verbo would do magic: when he needed to perform a trick, he would ask his talisman (named "Memo") for a formula (always in the form of "it is a [subject], it is an [object], it is the [subject] of the [object]".) He would then close his eyes and repeat, asking the children at home to do the same.[4][3]

Centour on his part would perform magic by reciting similar formulas while shaking his magic wristband (which looked like a gaudy wristwatch).

Verbo's constant companion was Picot Cotton, a young human male whose family was often the target of Centour's tricks.
