Wayne Dobson – A Kind of Magic is a British magic television series produced by Central Independent Television for the ITV network, and that aired on Saturday evenings from 12 May 1990[1] to 30 May 1992.[2] The show was hosted by Wayne Dobson who was the primary performer, and former glamour model Linda Lusardi from the first two seasons. However, for the third and final season, Lusardi was replaced by a selection of guest stars. Each week, Dobson would perform a number of close-up tricks and comedy sketches, before closing the show with a large-scale illusion featuring either Lusardi or that week's guest star.
