Clive
Barker's Magic Horror Movie Lord of Illusions is now available in the UK
on PAL VHS. There are a few gory examples of what can go wrong if you don't
practice your illusions - but the reason we're mentioning it here is
because Britain's Billy McComb makes a couple of appearances. Shot at The
Magic Castle in LA, Billy can be seen performing some card manipulations. A
must for true magic fans! You can order a copy from MagicWeek in
association with Amazon - simply click on the video.
