The Paul Daniels Magic Show

- Season 13

(1992)

An all-singing, all-dancing Christmas Special, with Paul and Debbie McGee cast in a Victorian setting and joined by the Pearly Kings and Queens and the Band of the Life Guards.

Paul starts off his thirteenth series with more magic and laughter, including juggling act Dick Franco and Noelle, plus sea lion tamer Nadja Gasser. Also performing an illusion of his own is Paul's son, Martin Daniels.

With Paul locked up in a box as part of a trick, Debbie takes the opportunity of his absence to perform "McGee's Mindreading Magic". Guests on the show are magician Juan Mayoral and balancing act Jean Nedel.

All of the guests featured in this edition hail from Osaka, Japan. There's the card trickery of Sanada, plus the husband-and-wife illusion team of Fukai and Kimika.

Featuring the acrobatic Panteleenkos from the Moscow State Circus, and the illusions of "Mechanical Magician" Mike Michaels.

Paul exposes his inner caveman at the start of this edition, and welcomes special guest John Inman, plus his son, Martin Daniels.

Featuring the heavy juggling of Ming, the archive magic sets of Wittus Witt, and a death-defying and risque impalement.

With Debbie getting more involved in Paul's tricks, she's given one of her biggest tests in this edition: mind reading from a 12-mile distance. Guests are a couple from Kyiv, Ukraine: ballerina Galina and illusionist Voronin.

Featuring the show's own advisor and programme associate, Ali Bongo, in what's described as "the craziest magic act on the face of the Earth". Also a guest on the show is Germany's Gina Althoff.

Paul signs off on his thirteenth series with a range of different tricks, including the mystery of the Mary Celeste, along with special guests Buba and Buka.
