Should be interesting.. Like all magical shows on TV, gonna have a look and hopefully enjoy.

The bit I'm wary of is that they promise to show the things which didn't work

Myself Gary Jones and Mark Bendell get some airtime on this with Gary's iPhone wind up pranks.

Should be fun.

Decent team behind this show so should be OK? lol

Lets hope there isn't too much exposure then.

seems like you've been framed of magic featuring the best of and the bloopers of magic. some famous faces of magic too which is always a bonus, so its on my to see list.

Now you've mentioned those names, the whole show takes on a much higher air of quality - thank you Lee!

I've set up my series link for this one.

I am not overkeen on the concept of showing things that go wrong. It trivialises the art (as if it isn't trivialised enough) and I cannot possibly approve.

I can't say I like the sound of this. There's going to be a "humorous" commentary too.

Now that is worrying.

Give it a chance and see how they present it all, it might be done very well and all be good fun.

If it is half as good as Help my supply teacher is magic, or even still magic, then it will be worth watching.

Another programme from Objective Productions and certainly much better than anticipated - even more so if you turn the sound off so you can't hear the pointless and unfunny 'commentary' from Mel Giedroyc.

Agree with that.. Really annoying lady trying to be funny on something she probably knew nothing about..
