The Paul Daniels Magic Show

- Season 7

(1985)

Paul returns with a new-look, 10-part series, featuring a quest for some antique magic.

There's a rare chance to see eldest son Paul Daniels Junior in this edition, as he helps chain and nail his father inside a crate for a racetrack illusion. Also on the show are The Two Lerys, and the "mathemagics" of Arthur Benjamin.

There's tricks, and games, and mechanical dolls, but Paul's big mission this week is to travel to Scotland to see if he and Fulton Mackay can track down Nessie.

Featuring the manic spoon playing of Artis, and the ventriloquist skills of Willie Tyler and Lester. Also on the show is guest Anneka Rice.

Featuring the stunning feats of the Bauer family, who balance on poles with no wires or safety nets. Also on the show are the record groove-reading skills of Arthur Lintgen and the return of close up magician Johnny Paul.

Paul is in Bath to look at the history of hot air ballooning, while guests on the show are Penelope Keith, Paul Potassy and The Olympiads.

After their popular appearance during the sixth series, unicyclists Airjazz are back. There's also a new guest for the series in the form of "simultaneous talker" Frank Rains.

Paul attempts the famous Indian rope trick, while guests Ricky Jay and the Sinekos Family showcase their skills for the audience.

Among the many guests on this edition is Poland's "Spider Goddess", Danuta, climbing high above the studio in her special web. Also on the show is the literal "sleight of hand" of the digit-disappearing Meir Yedid.

For the last regular episode of the seventh series, Paul plans to use some of the crown jewels to help finance his holidays. Unfortunately for Paul, two Beefeaters are wise to his scheme.

A festive special for the whole family, with children, songs, and a variety of special guests.
