The Paul Daniels Magic Show

- Season 11

(1990)

A festive special, though this year Paul insists on no singing, refusing to let Harold and Madge from Neighbours perform a Christmas song. Also on the show is the inventive Kenny Raskin, and double act Little and Large.

The show enters the 1990s with trapeze act Mouvance and the multi-talented Esqueda family. Paul ends the show by introducing a "psychic car" - otherwise known as Barry McGuigan.

Guest Mario Cavalli combines the skills of magic and bubbles, while Diane Batchelor showcases why she's an expert with hula hoops.

Featuring the high intensity gaucho act of Los Huincas and the comedy magic of Kevin James.

One of the wildest and silliest episodes of the entire programme, where viewers get to see Paul as Marlene Dietrich, Clint Eastwood and Shirley Temple. Adding to the daft atmosphere is crazy mime Les Bubb, and special guest Carmen Silvera.

Diane and Primo perform skateboard stunts to rock 'n' roll, while Agathe And Antoine have a dangerous high wire routine. But perhaps the biggest question is, why is Paul dressed as Andy Pandy?

In the increasingly bizarre eleventh series, Paul and Debbie appear as singing vagabonds, while guests include the acrobatic Nicolodis.

Featuring the snooker tricks of Gene Catron; the 84-year-old adagio dancer in duo Barbara and Spencer; and a "volunteer" from the studio audience who looks suspiciously like Uncle Albert from Only Fools and Horses.

Paul signs off the eleventh series with help from son Martin, who recreates one of Houdini's tricks by being submerged underwater. Also on the show is the return of offbeat comic magician Rudy Coby.
