Close-up Magic (1x3)

:

When David Blaine throws your chosen playing card through a plate glass window right before your eyes, or Paul Daniels produces a huge block of ice from beneath his hat, they are performing the oldest and purest fom of magical illusion-sleight of hand. Tracing the long history of close-up magic, the programme recalls the routines of past masters before bringing the form up to date as Paul Zenon creates the biggest magic trick of its kind ever seen.
