HELP, cant remember the name of magician

Postby kentpyper » Tue Jan 15, 2008 12:50 am

In the 1990's there was a televised magic special. This magician was dressed up in doctor scrubs and cut this guy in half, he had of couse a pretty assistant and he moved the top half of the body pretty far from the legs and i think the legs were walking on their own on stage, it was a huge production.

It had a MAX HEDROOM type feel to it where the magician was tall dark "plastic" looking hair and the music was almost PUNK..... maybe this is not enought info, but, i was really impressed. This is prolly not the right forum to ask for help with this and will be flamed, so im sorry.

If anyone has any ideas, it would be appreciated.......

A non-magical friend has told me that in the 70´s or 80´s on a popular entertainment show (Morecombe and Wise?) there was a short clip of an Argentine magician who perfromed coin magic with one hand. I have googled this but to no avail! I´d love to see or read about him because it sounds amazing. Search the memory banks!

Does Anyone Remember This Magician?

Then again Dante did it with a couple of Clowns years ago.

And there was the great, macabre, Al Carthy & His 'Robot'.. In the end , which was the human and which was the Robot? :wink:
Frankenstein Outdone!

I'm sure I've recently seen (i/e in the last month) that Rudy Colby was appearing at an American Convention.
