The Great Benyon

"The greatest illusion on earth," is how the Great Benyon described his feature act on the final night of the outdoor concerts at the back beach. The act - well, we've shown it to you here. The placing of a woman in a box, the tying of her feet and hands (the ends of the ropes being held by members of the audience) and then the sawing of her in half. We agree with Ben. It was a great act, but we don't see where the illusion comes in. And what's more, we're sure he won't explain any further. A wonderful act to end a tremendous two weeks of concerts.
