Heads up

Tuesday, April 29, 2008

Just heard that 'The Age' article on magic (profiling us and young magician David McLeod) should appear in Thursday's paper. Apparently the photo turned out well so it should be very interesting...

A truly original love story

Sunday, April 27, 2008

We just saw a brilliant film we both highly recommend to everyone: Lars and the Real Girl.

The plot is ridiculous, so it's better you go without any knowledge, but the acting, directing and scriptwriting combine seamlessly to pull off a truly beautiful love story.

You might have to look hard in the cinema listings to track this one down, but it's absolutely worth the effort.

Quick movie review

Friday, April 25, 2008

Gone Baby Gone, very good film. Gritty, true to life, tackles the hard topics and really worth a look.

Deception, absolute tripe. A con film that is, itself, a con. Don't let them steal you movie money.

Young Talent Time!

Thursday, April 24, 2008

I came across a Young Talent Time fansite today and on it they listed the contents of the last 8 years of episodes. It was fascinating to see just how many magicians appeared on TV from 1980 to 1988 thanks to that show. (It would be very interesting to see who appeared on the episodes from 1971 to 1980).

Unfortunately the website doesn't list the names of contestants, just what they did, and there were plenty of magicians! (Myself, Duck Cameron, Paul Bowen, and so many others).

So, take a look at this who's who of magicians (I wonder if anyone has ALL of these performances on tape?) and I know it's not complete but it's fascinating nonetheless:
