The Paul Daniels Magic Show

Episode 7 (4x7)

Air date: Nov 13, 1982

[Jean-Claude / Trevor Brooking / Omar Pasha] In Derren Brown-esque fashion, Paul identifies audience members by their handshakes after going through a lengthy, humorous blindfolding process. This week's 'Under Laboratory Conditions' experiment involves twins picking out cards from seemingly ordinary mixed decks. Then it's time for the first guest act this week, in which Jean-Claude displays incredible balancing skills with footballs, aided by two amusing little soccer players! He also more than meets a light-hearted challenge from English footballing legend Trevor Brooking. With "The Lovely Debbie McGee" providing assistance in nurse uniform, Paul's 'Ballyhoo Corner' trick is little more than a sight gag, where an audience member ages before your very eyes! Tonight's second guest act is Omar Pasha. Using black art with visually stunning effect, he performs many illusions to a beautiful 'Bolero' soundtrack. Paul finishes the show by passing through a huge china mug stacked pyramid, having debunked the obvious 'identical twins' explanation.
