It is no exaggeration to say that Paul Daniels is among the elite when it comes to magicians. The man is an absolute genius on stage and this show which ran from 1979 to sometime in the mid-90's was just fantastic.
Currently, in the UK, Saturday night TV is dire (in my opinion). We usually get boring reality shows featuring talentless no-bodies who are after fifteen minutes of fame. How I long for the return of real entertainers like Paul Daniels.
The Paul Daniels Magic Show was an hour of absolutely everything magic mixed with fun and games. Paul did everything-card tricks, vanishing tricks, role play, the lot. Each week, Paul seemed to top the previous show. At one point, I thought he may actually be using real magic (if such a thing exists) but obviously, it is all sleight of hand. Paul would also do role play where he would play a character whilst committing magic at the same time. Joining him was his wife Debbie McGee who took part in the fun and games.
This was the most entertaining Saturday night show ever in my opinion and it was a sad day when it ended. However, Paul has left the viewers of his former show with enough fun-filled memories to last a lifetime.
Now, that's magic!
