There gay Debbie McGee any day hubba hubba ;)

 

The only trouble with Debbie McGee is, how do you get the image of Paul Daniels climbing all over her out of your head, no amount of Viagra is going to sort that :no:

 

back to the question got to be honest i don't buy into it, i suspect a lot of it is set-up and i don't like them or their style, i have watched Penn & Teller on stage that was a good show

I find it annoying, my son likes it though. i'd rather see a programme about how they do it but suppose that would be a bit self defeating for them

 

There have been several programs/series giving away the Magicians secrets!

 

I'm not sure I agree with that really (but I don't deny I watched some)!

I love it but mainly from the point of the engineering / skill / psychology behind it that makes it possible, would love to know how the likes of Dynamo do it. You can see from a lot of the old school magicians that it's just slight of hand but the new guys have moved beyond that and really leave me wondering.

 

I think Dynamo and Derren Brown are great think David Blain is a ****

Some of what they do impresses me. My favourite is Derren Brown although I wouldn't really consider him a magician.

I agree, far too much post production and clever camera angles for my liking. It spoils the illusion for me when, watching Dynamo for example, I know that the "strangers" in the street watching him walk up a wall are all actors. Even if to me at home watching on the TV the illusion is present it's just such an anti-climax.

 

Tommy Cooper was a great comedian and a very talented magician, love him.

 

I also find Derren Brown fascinating. I have seen him live and "woken up" from a trance with two thousand people looking at me! It's not magic but it is very clever psychology which he weaves into entertaining and exciting plots very well.
