Featuring the water-spinning of The Meteors and the rope tricks of Pierre Edernac. There's also a magic trick involving Paul's organist brother, Trevor Daniels, and a jungle-set finale with Gloria Hunniford.

Paul introduces an act he claims he's wanted to get on the show for "seven or eight years" - the comedic Michael Marlin. Also featuring on the show is the dangerous acrobatics of the Hsiung Brothers.

Ray Alan has brought along his friend Lord Charles to take part in some magic tricks, but unfortunately for Ray, Lord Charles has been drinking.

Special guest Linford Christie helps out with a trick, while Johnny Fox jokes his way through a sword swallowing act.

With the bicycle stunts of Kid Lima and the acrobatics of the Ayak Brothers, plus Paul has fun with audience interaction.

Paul's attempts to do the show are continually interrupted by the offbeat antics of comic duo Les Foubrac. Plus, Paul reveals the secret of one of his tricks - but is there another illusion behind it?

Paul ends his tenth series by getting guest Eartha Kitt to take part in one of his tricks, while duo Mr Adams and Mr Dandridge mix comedy, unicycles and fire juggling.
