“Memory plays tricks. Memory is another word for story, and nothing is more unreliable.”
Ann-Marie MacDonald
Oooh. look, the BBC has a new magic show! Hurrah, right?
Unfortunately, it actually turns out to be something like You’ve Been Framed but with magic. So while it’s mildly interesting if you haven’t seen the clips before (which you might have, since they seem to have been garnered from sources many and various), mostly because of Mel Bake Off Giedroyc’s gently humorous narration, you’re not going to need to be glued to it every week. It’s just scheduling stuff, really. Disappointing; it’s been ages since I’ve seen any really good magic.
When’s Derren Brown coming back, again?
