OLD SCHOOL MAGIC - is a segment from my weekly Live Chat I do where I feature magicians from back in the day before things like social media etc that you perhaps have never heard of but have been big influences if not on me directly then for sure the art of magic and perhaps even entertainment in general.
This video's feature is The Pendragons!
Jonathan and Charlotte Pendragon were a husband-and-wife team of American illusionists who called their work "physical grand illusion". They are widely known due to numerous national and international television appearances.
The Pendragons appeared on television in more than 50 countries and starred in 14 prime time specials on US networks, including their own Night of Magic show for Disney, several World's Greatest Magic shows for NBC, and Champions of Magic for ABC. For PBS television they performed with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, presenting illusions to classical music. For Universal Studios they wrote, directed and starred in a night-time magic spectacular, Cinemystique: Illusions of the Night which played to more than a million people.[8] They were also frequently guests on programmes such as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and the Paul Daniels Magic Show.[9] They performed at presidential galas for US presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, including a performance for President Clinton at the Ford's Theater for an ABC TV Special. They were singled out for praise by President George W. Bush at the end of a gala for him in June 2005.[10]
In Britain they appeared at the Royal Variety Performance. They also appeared in a 1996 televised Royal gala show in Monaco, which included a collaboration with Princess Stéphanie. Jonathan and Charlotte performed their Artist's Dream illusion, a vignette about an artist's wife dying and appearing as a ghost, which was accompanied by a song composed and sung by Princess Stephanie and dedicated to her late mother Princess Grace. Jonathan also performed his Clearly Impossible sawing in half illusion, with Princess Stephanie taking Charlotte's place as the assistant being sawed in half. The gala was seen across the US as part of an ABC television special, Champions of Magic.
On June 24, 2008, the Pendragons appeared as contestants on NBC's reality television show, America's Got Talent. They were sent on to the next stage in Las Vegas. However they were never selected nor seen to move on to the top 40.
