The brilliance of Steve Martin as 'The Great Flydini', and, as himself, in an appearance on Jonathan Ross's The Last Resort that went out on 9th October, 1987. At the start of his career Steve Martin worked part-time in Disneyland, California, selling guidebooks on weekends and spending free time in the magic shop. Later on he worked in the magic shop in Fantasyland, as a demonstrator.

101 Bets You Will Always Win. Richard Wiseman has a new book out, describing 101 bets that you will always win, and the science behind them. The book is based on his YouTube Channel - which has now had over half a billion views - and contains lots of amazing stunts, bets, tricks and illusions. The book even has a secret bet built into it! "The publishers have done a great job with the book - it’s hardback, gold embossed and over 200 illustrations" said Richard. www.amazon.co.uk.

Benidorm: Uri Geller causes 'big problems' on set ahead of cameo after he bends 100 spoons....Popular ITV comedy Benidorm is set to return to screens soon, with the illusionist making a special appearance on the show. But when Uri headed to the set for his cameo, he apparently caused the staff at the hotel where filming takes place a bit of an issue. Uri is said to have performed his famous spoon bending trick for the cast and crew. As a result, the former I'm A Celebrity star ended up bending around 100 spoons and he even signed them for the crew.

Rare footage of magician David Nixon playing the Mellotron in 1965.... He was around on TV when I were a kid. He seemed a lovely guy.

Paul Zenon reports....
I popped into the Magic Circle Awards in London last night, where Dynamo received the Maskelyne Award for services to British Magic. In his acceptance speech he cited my Street Magic TV specials as his main inspiration to take up magic. I have to say that I was rather touched, soppy old sod that I am.

Penn & Teller: Fool Us in Vegas.
This new run launches with show 10/13, this Sunday at 6.25pm on Channel 5. The previous shows went out back in the spring. Here's the press release from Channel 5: "Magicians try to baffle Penn and Teller with their tricks." Really, that's it. Ten words. Got a feeling that there may be a vacancy for a publicist in the Channel 5 press office real soon, or at least there should be!

For over 30 years Uri Geller maintained that his psychic powers were genuine. Despite numerous exposes he adamantly stuck to his story. Various academics staked their reputations on supporting his claims and governments spent millions of pounds/dollars investigating him. Geller, however, stuck to his claims.......or at least he did! Several years ago he started to sing a different tune. He dropped the claim that his powers were genuine instead calling himself a 'mystifier'. He was even given the David Berglas award for services to magic. Unbelievably, there are still people out there who believe that Geller has genuine psychic powers so it'll be interesting to see what they make of this...... Uri Geller is releasing a DVD set to the magic community..... Each box set will include a spoon personally signed and bent by Geller (though he admits by hand). The price for this little gem? A mere £114! James Randi on Geller's reversal.... Mr Jinx Says: I wonder how much he will reveal? It says "you will get answers and revelations about his most personal and closely held thoughts" just what that means remains to be seen. Will he reveal his methods? Will he finally admit to being a fraud? I have my doubts. Oh, and it looks like he hasn't fully given up on the claims.....
