The illusionists (ITV)

What a great show, and I for one don't want to know how it's done. (but maybe I do).

I missed that one Spitty. I have seen DYNAMO & he gives me the creeps, what he does is impossible, leading me to wonder where his "magic" powers come from.

My thought is that it is easy to be fooled by slight of hand, so, where else in life is this principle deployed.

Re: The illusionists (ITV)

If you watch them on slow speed you can see sometimes how they do things, it's very clever but you wonder why the other people there (onlookers) don't say something, unless they're actors or paid to keep quiet. I particularly liked the Poltergeist program (The Happening), very clever how they made people feel things, like a hand inside folded paper etc.

Typing SLIGHT instead of SLEIGHT was only slightly wrong Alan..Take out the T in SLEIGHT & you have a SLEIGH to transport you home Take out the S in SLIGHT & you have a light to guide you..
Now, where was I?

Oh yes T time.
