Just spotted a radio programme may be of interest:

20th July 2004 11.30am, BBC Radio 4

Men of Mystery

Ian Keable presents a look back at the careers of professional mindreaders on radio. Marc Salem and Lesley Hazlitt attracted huge audiences with their act known as The Piddingtons.

Yes thanks for that. I remember my Dad telling me all about the Piddingtons and their almost supernatuiral feats of mentalism over the radio. Ive wanted to know more about these people for a while, and to be honest I didnt even know wat their real names where until now. So thanks for that.

This sounds like just the program will be well worth listening to...

Thats a nice compliment. Thankyou Panther :D

I listen to a lot of radio and in amongst the average run-of-the-mill programmes occasionally you find an unusual broadcast that could be a worth a listen, especially when it relates to magic.

BBC Radio runs a website called Listen Again where you can hear most programmes after they were broadcast. So if anyone misses this and wants to listen to it via the internet it should be on the following web page:
