Well know for the fastest Metamorphisis in history (plus Charlotte's scanty attire!), the Pendragons have released 3 DVDs of their routines, interviews and explanations. Alakazam have them, and a link to a promo vid which is well worth seeing:
The Magic of the Pendragons
by Charlotte and Jonathan Pendragon and L&L Publishing
Stage illusionists historically have been extremely secretive about their craft. Not just about the secrets to the illusions themselves-the mechanics are just a small part-but about the real secrets of what turns a stage illusion into a breathtaking moment of pure magic.
Now, for the first time ever on video, Jonathan and Charlotte Pendragon, the "First Couple" of magic and perhaps the greatest exponents of grand illusion ever to grace a stage, lift away the veil and show you the real secrets of stage illusion -the insider information that could only be gained by performing in over 50 countries for the last quarter of a century.

Sadly some of those illusions have been exposed by the Masked Eejit but at a penny under £25 for each 2 hour DVD, I think these may very well go on my wish list!
