The Magic Show Story

Postby Mandrake » May 26th, '15, 22:30



ITV1 Saturday May 30th, 6.30pm and on ITV1+1* an hour later.

Stephen Mulhern delves into the history of magic and magic shows with help from Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee, Penn & Teller, Dynamo, Darcy Oake and no doubt a load of clips of other performers. Along the way he recreates David Nixon's effect of sawing Anita Harris in half - featuring Anita Harris!

Well worth watching methinks.

* Please note that ITV 1+1 is not the same thing as ITV2....... :wink:

A good show, sadly the topic was far too large to be adequately covered in a 1 hour (actually 47 minutes net) programme but good to see some different clips of the old time masters of magic as well as the more recent rising stars.

When I was a child, I was a "budding David Nixon", according to my relatives. Later, I became a "budding Paul Daniels". There is no modern equivalent - at least, I hope not.
