The Magic Of Jesus by Barry & Stuart

Description

Barry & Stuart – The Magic of Jesus

This one hour special aired in December 2005. In this show Barry and Stuart drew inspiration from the accounts of Jesus’ miracles in the New Testament to present illusions which included apparently walking on the surface of water in a glass tank, turning water into wine, causing a blind person to temporarily ‘see’, appearing to raise a deceased person, causing a virgin to apparently become ‘pregnant’ and feeding 5000 people.[6]

The show caused controversy among newspapers and other press with Bishop Michael Reid, the Founder of the TV watchdog the Christian Congress for Traditional Values giving the following statement, “Maybe these two fraudsters could try being crucified to see if they can rise three days later.”
