The Paul Daniels Magic Show

Episode 3 (6x3)

Air date: Sep 15, 1984

[Norm Nielsen / Bernie Winters / Samson - Strongman] This episode starts with Paul generating plenty of laughter with an audience member and a couple of unpredictable beer bottles. In the 'Under Laboratory Conditions' slot, some plasticine is sliced without any physical contact, and then tonight's first guest, strongman Samson, is introduced. When he's not thumping nails into wood with his bare hand or pulling them out with his teeth, he is able to hold his own in a tug of war with several men pulling at him from both sides. Paul narrates a story about three bears whilst performing a rope trick, before Norm Nielsen takes to the stage. This magician is absolutely superb and it's stunning to see him produce what seems like infinite amounts of cards and coins out of nowhere during his spectacular routine. Back to the host again for the final illusion, where a volunteer's watch is destroyed only to be restored again, with the help of a Saint Bernard dog that turns out to be Schnorbitz belonging to Bernie Winters!
