95 | The Secret Cabaret - Series 1 SHOW 1 | Simon Drake / Ricky Jay | Contortionist Rocky Rendall, Ghost hunter Tony Ehlert and Knife jugglers Carletti & Belle | 1990 | 30 | Each programme revolved around a theatre based show presented by Simon Drake and Ricky Jay and featuring illusions performed by Drake in various guises (which owed much to punk and heavy metal ). The styling of the show was dark and mysterious with some elements that reflected goth subculture. These sections were often embellished with realistic looking blood and gore reminiscent of the infamous performances of Peruvian magician Richiardi Jr . A substantial part of the running time of the show was given over to guest performers and various filmed items, ranging from archive footage to close up presentations or exposures of scams and swindles. Simon Drake said: "On television in the UK then were Wayne Dobson and Paul Daniels, but they didn’t appeal to me. I wanted to see something darker, more fast paced and rock and roll, more sexy, more weird." Sleight of hand magician Ricky Jay made special appearances in each show and was credited as a writer. Also credited as a writer was poet and playwright Heathcote Williams. Noted illusion designer Jim Steinmeyer was credited as one of the producers. Regular guests included magicians James Randi , Geno Munari , Max Maven and David Berglas and reformed fraudster turned security expert Frank Abagnale. This was a decade before Abagnale became world famous through the 2002 bio pic Catch Me If You Can produced by Steven Spielberg.
