Cardini

20 March 2010

The only known footage of Cardini performing. And what a joy it is; it’s not just sleight of hand, not just a clever skit, not just great timing; it’s magic. Ten minutes! And, most remarkably: he’s wearing gloves for the first three minutes.

Paul Daniels – yes, the Paul Daniels, is keeping a blog. It’s rather good; he writes in a friendly, personal manner – just as you’d expect him to, really – and he combines interesting chat about magic with fairly traditional (for blogs) personal anecdotes. It’s quite fun; I may well subscribe.
