Yaaaay! At last, well done!

yeah - what he said. Nice one....

Carter [ex-president] The Great [huge]
Allen Shaw
Houdini (born as Erich Weiss[sounds like he was wise before we knew whoxxxx])

(apologies for rubbish clues)

So what's the next requirement - a piccy of a Magic Wand or something equally difficult? OK, only jesting! :wink:

Well... the clues WERE'NT rubbish at all.

In fact, it was the Weiss clue which gave it away. And when you gave the 'Ex-president XXXXXX XXX XXXXX' clue, it could really only BE one magician with 'the Great' in their name circa Houdini's era.

Well done, a great puzzle!

OK, here's the next one... I've made this one a little less hard work, it's more just lateral thinking and following the clues. Each clue below will give a one word answer. All the answers SHOULD give you enough clues to get a picture.

1. Title of a movie made in the year of my birth, starring the daughter of an actress with a surname associated with doors at Christmas

2. Forename of a famous Saint. However, this Saint has moore of a bond with a religious knight than a religious canonisation

3. You'd feel a right Charlie if you didn't duck when you got older

4. Don't tell anyone. Mum's the word...

Over to you guys (I reckon this will be done by the time I go home )

What an amazingly good turn this thread has taken - better than the Times crossword - now I just need some time

Well done guys (and Gals) - brilliant,

Vic

Any good?



Simon Drake Secret Cabaret

a) Garland (Judy, Mother of Liza Minnelli - film = Cabaret)
b) Simon (Templar/Roger Moore/James Bond)
c) Charlie Drake (Hello My Darlings!)
d) Shhh- it's a secret!

(I thought you'd have to work over tonight!)

well, this can only be

Cabaret Simon Drake Secret

or Simon Drake's Secret Cabaret



lol - you beat me to it you swine which was just as well, as my picture didn't work

Took me ages to get the piccy to work as well!

Assuming we're right, and as we have so many guys here from the land of the Maple Leaf, the next challenge concerns a magish who was
a) Born in Winnipeg, Canada in 1947 - a very good year to be born!
b) During the late 1970s and early 1980s, performed wherever he could. His magic was seen from Las Vegas to Japan, also began to stage effects for music videos and concerts performed by Earth, Wind and Fire and Michael Jackson.
c) Died February 7, 2000 in Los Angeles of liver cancer - just 52 years old.
Picture required is of him holding 'Arthur's magician' aloft.

Any thoughts or do you need additional info?

I have it!

After plenty of searching, I think it's Doug Henning:
.

If so, I'm not good at puzzles so I'll leave you with this one:

A picture of Jay Noblezada, including his head. Any picture. It's harder than it sounds .

Right man, wrong piccy. The one required is of him holding 'Arthur's Magician' aloft - go find it quick!!!!

(Thank you Simon !!!)

Nope.
