the king of fighters xv cosplay kyo and iori get chizuru inside the zig zag illusion for the magic show

I think that clip is from David Nixon’s Magic Box - used to come on during the summer when Opportunity Knocks was off the air - where I first heard of Anita Harris, in fact - used to like watching him on the telly - but never heard of him until David Nixon’s Magic Box came on the air - that evolved into The David Nixon Show - last thing I remember seeing him in was an edition of Celebrity Squares, recorded before he died, but transmitted posthumously!

That's amazing! How on earth did they do th...😴

why did he take her shoes off?!? something for the foot guys I guess!

It was Ali BONGO and yes, he is the real magician here

"David Nixon performs Zig Zag with Anita Harris" Who Wouldn't?

Still funnier than what's on TV today.

The entire performance is now available here: www.dailymotion.com/video/x3umql1_harry-blackstone-jnr-live-from-seattle-1979_fun

A LOVELY MAN.,EASY TO TALK TO.AREAL GENT APPEARED WITH HIM IN DUBLIN. TONY AND MARGIE SADAR

Je viens de finir de lire la malle des indes qui raconte votre vie . Un artiste dans toute sa splendeur . Bravo!

The kiss trick is the first trick every wannabe magician learns. ;)

He's is SUCH a legend.

OMG I have seen bettter work at high school plays.

So stupid

John is so nice, it looks like he went through shit with show business. He is too nice, God love em.

I bet the secret to this is really simple and obvious once you actually find it out.

he's still making great magic , i just saw him do an amazing trick on the carpool show.

Totally loved it.

very fun!!!!

classic stuff,brings back so many memories. thanks for posting !

@TheSwamper The girl does do the work in this trick but it is Chuck who designed and made the trick. Anyone can do a trick once they know how but to create your own trick is very hard and is what separates the great from the good.

"The spirits do not want to join the Salvation Army" is a classic line that deserved a bigger laugh.

I think I have an inkling how this trick is done!

Am I the only one who thinks an illusion that involves a female assistant is more entertaining with an everyday woman dressed in a regular dress, that a scantily-clad dancer that's always gyrating and shaking her booty to the rhythm of loud rock music, and where she and the magician are bantering and explaining instead of dancing around speechless?

I used to love watching David Nixon as a child in the 60s and 70s ....( Well teenager in the 70s lol ) Great Man

this is an old trick houdin used to do with his son.

The album is great, can't stop listening to it. It's like BÖC meets Mercyful Fate or something.

The Illusions of Lee Edwards Lee was so smooth as an illusionist. Great timing and slight of hand with great range as a performer, close up to big stage. As an act consisted of many of Dante's actual original tricks, custom Johny Gaughn props to boot.

I used to see Lee Edwards perform at the Magic Castle , and always loved his style ! Thanks for posting this !!!

Brilliant.

@Gazza100164 I've been performing this effect in cabaret since 1979, having learnt the finer points of handling directly from Ken, and I have NEVER been 'called on it'.

One of the finest magicians to come out of South Africa.

great.. how is it done then?

This is the Italian tribute act. Good, but lacks some of the energy and charm of the original Milo and Roger.

Wonderful, incredibile!

Gysel Tie :) ... If you look closely Debbie sort of gives it away at 8:42 when she's being "cut loose" - left hand lets go of the right hand rope. Still, brilliantly executed ... Violin bit is awesome.

I dunno. Does it seem to anyone else in the first part that the magician just stands and distracts the audience while the girl does all the work?

@JekyllBoote Re "overfed skull"... Here's a quote from The Goon Show: MORIARTY: That flag they're flying! It's the skull and crossbones! NEDDIE: "Wrong! It's a photograph of David Nixon with his arms folded! (From "Tales of Old Dartmoor", 1956)

David Nixon.. what a true gent, and Ali bongo too.. Ahh bliss, childhood memories have come flooding back... Wonderful stuff indeed... :0)x

I am so sorry that I never got to see them live. It would have been great to see one of the truly awesome comedy magic acts in person.

Haha, "I assure you she hasn't got a fella in there"!! Absolute charm!!! Thanks for uploading.

i know him he is my cousin

i know him je is my cousin

@ybravura Except that this music was composed by Alan Menken...

this is the presentation that Criss Angel uses to justify using camera and editing tricks in Mindfreak. Criss does a version of it in BeLIEve

Paul Daniels makes me pee! I cant watch him without laughing hard, i almost died! Genius!

David Nixon was a slick magican also Ali Bongo was a class performer

Wow. I'm not sure who's hair is more feathered.

What an incredible gift of GAB!

it's neat that he tickled her stomach through the tickle door. many zigzags today don't even have the little tickle door.
