There will be interviews in some TV mags with the faker. TV Times definitely.
Also 'What's On TV' and there are a couple of nice piccies of 'K' before and after!

A surprise ending, which may make us believe that Magic is real, is promised. I'm looking forward to this one!

Hi Kevin, I note you had moral issues with the presentation of magic, how have these now been resolved?

moral issues

Postby lowercasekev » Mar 23rd, '05, 12:26

Hey

Most of the TV mags have picked up on the show. Nice, 'quirky' articles but mainly positive.

In hindsight the moral issues were easily overcome. At the start of the show I hadn't had time to fully digest the ins and outs of magic and what it means, I still haven't, but I have a better idea.

Any behind the scenes trickery is done for the audience benefit and not for any underhand purposes.

You can see me on GMTV tomorrow morning, should be suitably embarrassing for me. Scottish people can tune into radio Scotland between 9 and 10 for Fred McCauly's show too.

Best wishes, hope you all enjoy the show.

Kevin

I'm not usually a GMTV viewer but I'll certainly make an exception in this case. Best of luck Kevin!

Kevin, I can see why you feel a little bit odd doing magic, but you are missing the number one most important thing...


THE AUDIENCE KNOW WE ARE FIBBING

Think about it. if they didnt, what we do wouldnt be entertaining, it would be classed in the same light as so called spiritualists, and confined to church meetings, and " special " nights.
