Episode summary:

From sawing a woman in half to fake decapitations, magicians have always been drawn to illusions that feature the power of death and restoration. This trend can be traced from the Elizabethan mystery plays to modem-day performers like the Amazing Jonathan, whose show features violence on a scale to rival Quentin Tarantino. Including contributions from Paul Daniels, Paul Zenon and the Pendragons, plus archive footage of one magician who, having seemingly sliced his victim in two, refused to bring her back together again.
