50 Greatest Magic Tricks Genre Clip show

Documentary

50 Greatest Magic Tricks is a one-off list show that was produced by Objective Productions for Channel 4. The programme counted down the fifty greatest magic tricks, as voted for by members of The Magic Circle.[1] The illusion at number one was Death Saw by David Copperfield.[2] The show was presented by British comedy duo Adam and Joe, who also wrote and narrated the programme.[3] The show was first broadcast on Channel 4 on 6 May 2002.[4] The list was noted for including Ishamuddin Khan, an Indian street magician, with his Indian rope trick. Khan's illusion was ranked at number 20 on the list.[5]

Reception [ edit ]

In a review of the programme, magician Ian Rowland praised the production of the show, saying that its content was "almost uniformly superb" and that it was a "golden credit to its makers". He was considerably more critical of Adam and Joe's presenting, calling the pair "dismal" and their contributions "an unmitigated disaster". Rowland also questioned the final list – he bemoaned the lack of close-up magic tricks in favour of large illusions on stage.[4]

Legacy [ edit ]

The special was featured in a 2018 episode of the BBC One show Pointless Celebrities. One hundred members of the public had been given 100 seconds to name, from memory, as many magicians on the list as possible. The episode's finalists, Robert Lindsay and his daughter Sydney Stevenson, then had to name any magician who had not been listed by the 100 people. Paul Daniels, David Copperfield, Penn & Teller, David Blaine, Tommy Cooper, Derren Brown and The Great Soprendo were the only magicians to be named by the 100 people.[6]

What should I hang on my front door for protection?

You can hang a bell on your door to alert you of anyone entering or exiting your home. Metal bells work best. The bells work on a conscious and subconscious level to protect you.

Mantra

Adding a protective mantra to your door can also protect your home. For example, Om Mani Padme Hum is a Sanskrit mantra we often use in BTB feng shui. It’s the mantra of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion. While there are many ways to interpret this mantra, it translates roughly to “the jewel is in the lotus,” which can be a reminder of the beauty within, like a lotus that is able to bloom from muddy water. Many Tibetan prayer flags have mantras written on them and can be placed in and outside of your home. Alternatively, you can write a mantra (or any protective affirmation that is meaningful to you) on paper and place it above your door. This way, every time you walk in and out you will activate and receive that protective blessing.
