One might also be able to answer

1. Worlds Greatest Magic 1
2. Robert Urich

But because they used real people instead of coloured sponge balls I'll go with my answers above! :D

Ok this is a tough one! After further research I've updated my first answer to see if I might be closer! Surprised no one else has given this challenge a go.

Well Friends, it`s the end of the contest. I`m a bit surprised and a bit sad not many of you participated....well, anyways Congrats to Pete for 1/2 winning the contest and he will receive the plus one magic works effect. (Pete,PM me your shipping info) anyways here are the answers

yes Juan Tamarez was the 1st one in WGM 1 with the car, and the 2nd one..which was a genuine tenyo as far as I know was WGM 3 with the "mystery magician" who`s clips were between acts and who I believe was Valentino? and the performance was Mr. Rabbit or sponge Rabbit.

For members interested in watching episodes of Worlds Greatest Magic I did find many episodes online here, just scroll down the page a little to find them. In fact this page is full of many hours of magic specials if you have a rainy weekend to kill! Enjoy!
