A few weeks ago, I saw this post on MagicMafia regarding a televised Christmas special to air in the UK featuring magicians doing The ‘Magic of Jesus’:
Two magicians are set to re-enact biblical miracles such as turning water into wine and the feeding of the five thousand on Christmas Day.
The ‘Magic of Jesus’ to be shown on Channel 4 involves Barry and Stuart, two magicians from the show Dirty Tricks, carrying out a range of illusions inspired by the life of Jesus.
Their version of the feeding of the five thousand will be staged in a football stadium.
I can’t help but think of a classic episode of South Park when imagining this type of magic show, so I’ve prepared a clip for your viewing pleasure.
