Hans Moretti returns to the show to catch a bullet in his teeth. Less stressful and dangerous is the comedy ventriloquism and songs of Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop.
Paul introduces a juggler he idolised as a young boy - Rob Murray. Also appearing is Nelson Elliott as Paul's "business partner" in the Bunco Booth, and the mechanical doll of Ioni.
Paul performs tricks based around knots and music, and there's the return of Hans Moretti. There's also the last chance to see the dance troupe who were regular performers during the first two years of the show: The Paul Daniels Magic Set.
The first of four festive specials that had the honour of actually airing on Christmas Day, this edition features guests including Harry Blackstone, Lilly Yokoi and Compagnie Phillipe Genty.
