some things spring to mind.

multiplying plum tomatoes.
cut and restored spagetie string.
cake pan, orible stuff becomes nice grub.
cup cake zombie routine.

surely sir with your resorces at the beeb and channel4 you should have plenty of magicians and consultants on tap but if you do need some extra imput then I'm on hand to consult at very reasonable prices.

magicdiscoman is the top dog! I don't know if I can meet your price but I might be able to sort out some nectar points for you and some Taste the Difference sausages

A few routines come to mind that you could work on...


Firstly I really think you need to perfect an ACR (Ambitious Carrot Routine)

"Divine Thyme" - there is a review of it on here.

Practice a Egg cups and ball routine - using a pea as the ball should impress the kids and get them eating their greens in no time.

Finally - Silent Treatment - just so we don't have to hear your annoying voice saying "Pukka" every 10 seconds.

Mr Oliver.

If I'm ever watching TV and you come on, I switch off.

I don't think I can put it any clearer than that.

I think any such show should be co-hosted with Christopher Lillicrap.

I just thought I'd give him a mention to see how the Talkmagic rude words filter freacts. :)

I'm a little dissapointed with TM. Here we have a guy (If it is indeed Mr Oliver. who knows on forums of this nature?) who want's to promote magic which is our passion with food which is his passion in order to try to stop kebab eating hyperactive monsters that all us kids magicians have to deal with.
Now a while ago I was reading a thread about how some TM'ers thought that the magic content and helpfullness was being dummed down and that TM was'nt what it was. I can't comment on that as I am fairly new here. But love him or loathe him here is a splendid reason for TM to exist. I only hope that magicdiscoman becomes super rich on black market nectar points as a result of his more freindly and helpfull post.

You're trying to teach children about the physiological benefits of good nutrition.

So do exercises where good foods give you good abilities, and bad foods give you bad abilities.

For example:

Place a coin in the child's hand and feed him a stick of celery. When he open his hand, the coin has been bent from his superhuman strength. Here are some more ideas...

Another one would be a mentalist act.

Carrots make your eyes so good that you can see through blindfolds.

Vegetables make your brain so smart that you can memorize the names of every child in the gym.

Put a small object under a cup. Pour some sugar on it, and it gets fatter and fatter.

Maybe you could use a change bag or a devil's hankey nice and easy to use and no skill involved.

Just like many professions, a working magician who can be on his feet for several hours and also has to stretch his or her mental agility through focus, concentration etc. This requires a good diet.

Whilst I'd love to see magic in a show, I'm not sure that it would fit across a whol series of shows. I'd personally focus on a number of different 'guest' professions that would interest younger viewers and get the guest to talk about why nutrition if important to them etc.
