who cuts out the page like that? RIP IT MAN.... RIP IT. cut out like that with a craft knife screams out duplicate.

I hate that effing diversity dancer. sian is slightly more wooden than the set, and Bruno.... hmmm.

and that is another chunky old base there. Clearly this series has been a rush job, possibly because of the P&t show so close... But there are countless Ilusion builders out there that could of done a better job in the time given. Many of the bases used are standard bases. lord.. look at that loader.

you're like Yoda.you dont say much, but what you do say is worth listening to....

This show is not going to do magic or magicians any favours.

Thank heaven's for iPlayer!

Yes I know that's a lot of religious references for an atheist but what can you do?

Very poor.

Ive seen a bloke in Hitchin,whos far better than that lot. He takes stickers off of lighters,and puts them back on,right in front of your very eyes.

What a dissapintment,

The opening cardboard box trick did not fill you with hope that it was going anywhere. I cant believe that they had those dancers dance infront of the box before the illusion was completed it looked so amateurish. Then they went on to the news lady who was the wrong choice of person to have on the show.

Saying that I am sure people would have enjoyed it more as the show went on. There is the making of a good show if they learn from their mistakes.

My wife watched it with me and she thought it started bad and that Bruno was entertaining and she will watch it again.

I will watch the rest of the shows and one thing they need to get right is the celebs they have on. I am now looking forward to the Penn and Teller show.

The show was an attempt to bring back Magical Variety into mainstream T.V.
I think it failed terribly. What's the bet that Paul Daniels does lots of interviews about it, & makes loads of money? (Paul is very very clever & his shows were "Proper Shows"!!).

I do hope that the Penn & Teller show is better, but somehow...............

All good wishes & a Happy New Year............

Ah, light entertainment at its cheesy best. I'd have liked to have been in the audience sitting at the sides though.
