The much missed Ali Bongo , was magical advisor on many shows as we know, including Doctor who.

here is Sylvester McCoy doing an excelent job as the doctor , Entertaining the Gods of Ragnarok with some , quite wonderfully executed magic...

As you may know, Sylvester started off doing street entertainment and Caberet shows, often including magic. I know he does Blockhead for example......

Enjoy!

( search for the whole story, there was more magic than this)

I think you'll find the magic advisor on Greatest Show was Geoffrey Durham. Ali did, however, have a small input into The Talons Of Weng Chiang.

I love Doccy Who, always have done, but even I'm annoyed that the good Doctor had his back to the audience during the strait jacket escape. The most basic error in stage magic!
