Pretty sure, this is the one Franz Harray mentioned, where he makes Tower Bridge disappear - Not to be missed, me thinks...

I filmed for the mind readers special. Promises to be very good from what I saw of the production team they know almost more history than most magicians!.

I am looking forward to this one myself. Several big stunts for several shows. Max Maven did something I am sure is going to look great.

I must admit I am really looking forward to this one. With the vast variety of magicians from all genres that they have lined up - this will be a series to record and keep I think.

Is there any major landscap that he hasn't made disappear yet?

I'm looking forward to this as well - reading the various books mentioned in the Reviews and many others shows an incredible amount of History attached to this art/craft and the different versions of the same set of events are fascinating. Not all the big names in Magic were nice people - like we are!

(I guess this indicates that the Beeb have finally learned their lesson from last Summer's Secrets Revealed/Quiz fiasco?!)

I'm not sure but this might be being produced by Objective Productions (Derren Brown: Mind Control, Magic Secrets Revealed, The Quick Trick Show, etc.) but don't quote me on that.

Does anybody else know anything about this?

All the best,

Just a bit of trivia for you. but did you know that Objective Television is the brainchild of Andrew O.Connor and Joe Pasquale's manager, Michael Vine. They are both former magic acts.
