Magic
Episode 3 of 4
Cartoonist Gerald Scarfe recycles archive on magic. We have conjurors, illusionists, conmen, snake oil salesman and politicians. Quite a lot of politicians.
A fresh take on magic in the company of cartoonists Gerald Scarfe. We have conjurors, illusionists, prestidigitators and sleight of hand artists. Mountebanks, magi and mentalists. Conmen, snake oil salesman and politicians. Quite a lot of politicians.
The quickness of the hand deceives the eye as we chop, loop, scratch, mix and mash the radio archive to produce something from nothing.
Producer: Jolyon Jenkins.
