Does
Thailand have any "indigenous" magic
traditions? -
January 20, 2002
In China we get to go along
with Penn
and Teller to a remote village where every
family performs magic and to a state-run magic
amusement park that is totally deserted except
for the performers. At the end of each day
back in their hotel rooms, Penn muses about
the experiences in such a conversational and
genuine way it is almost like being there
with them. CBC has some info
on the shows including a separate page
on the China,
India,
and Egypt
episodes. Another good article on the show
is here.
This got us thinking. Does Thailand have any
"indigenous" magic traditions?

Penn & Teller's Magic and Mystery Tour is a series of three fascinating and engaging documentaries on street magic in Egypt, India, and China. The one on China aired on January 19. The others will appear on upcoming Saturdays at 04:00 and 15:00 on UBC X-Zyte (Channel 37). "Part documentary. Part road movie. Part magic show. Entirely bizarre and unforgettable." |
