Magic Christian Music (1970.) Badfinger's second album, and the first to be released under the name Badfinger (their first album was released under the band's original name, The Iveys.) This album is actually a collection of songs from various sources.

 Ancient Christian Magic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Indeed, it is virtually unknown that, in many parts of Christendom, magic was not only tolerated, but expected of the priestly class; miracles, after all, often seem magical events, much to the chagrin of rational theologians who try to explain them metaphorically, symbolically, or any way other than as Houdini-esque happenings.
In particular, the Coptic Christians, who were concentrated mostly in Egypt, spreading (as all Christians were wont to do) throughout the Roman and non-Roman world from a centre not too far from Alexandria, one of the major cities of the world of the time.
Lest we think that the magical period of Christianity was only in the remotest of history, this collection includes texts as early as the first century after the time of Jesus to the twelfth century -- more than half the span of Christian history.

 Christian & Company Entertainment Magic
Once the exclusive domain of high priests and shamans, magic today is among the most popular forms of entertainment, amazing and amusing young and old alike at all occasions - from children's birthday parties in the home to Las Vegas showrooms.
Aptly dubbed "Washington's foremost magical entertainer," CHRISTIAN keeps the tradition alive with a variety of audience-proven programs combining the most baffling magical effects and illusions with plenty of audience participation and just the right touch of comedy to dazzle and delight audiences at his 300 and more performances each year.
In addition to CHRISTIAN's own shows, we are proud to offer the services of many other top professional magicians for stage, platform, close-up or children's programs.

 Should a Christian Do Magic or Conjuring?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
"Magic" has the meaning of witchcraft or sorcery, but the word also means sleight of hand and illusion, the surprising and fascinating modern entertainment medium.
If the issue were that Christians are to refrain from doing anything that looks like sin or could be misinterpreted by someone who does not know, then we would never be able to do anything with confidence.
Another objection is that it is not right for the Christian to use trickery in presenting the truth.

 THE MAGIC CHRISTIAN - DVD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Instead of being a breezily vulgar romp across the landscape, the film cops an attitude that it is, in fact, doing the world a favour by clobbering the same targets (rich people, pretentious people, the conspicuously virtuous) that comedians have attacked throughout the ages.
So instead of having a high good time, The Magic Christian has to pretend that it's really part of the '60s counterculture, and to that end includes bloody documentary footage of Vietnam atrocities in case we miss that tenuous connection.
The Magic Christian is presented on a Republic DVD in 1.33:1 fullscreen in what appears to be an open-matte transfer.

 Ancient Christian Magic
This thought-provoking collection of magical texts from ancient Egypt shows the exotic rituals, esoteric healing practices, and incantatory and supernatural dimensions that flowered in early Christianity.
In an environment where `what we do is religion and what they do is magic' attitude, these compilers prefer to speak of `ritual' as a less value-ridden word and since the spells relate to that sphere of life we call `religion' the sub-title may be a more appropriate description.
There are 135, dating from the first 1000 years of Christianity, in English, with notes and written originally on papyrus, parchment, rag paper, pottery or bone.

More than just a misfire, The Magic Christian is perhaps the main film responsible for killing off all hope for the upscale fl comedy, a trend which began with the wonderfully baroque The Loved One just a few years earlier.
It wouldn't be fair or accurate, but one is tempted to relate the collapse of the British film industry with The Magic Christian, a film which must have turned audiences out feeling alienated and cheated.

My saying is "magic is as religiously specific as baking a pie." People commonly associate witchcraft with the religion of Wicca.
Magic can be a more emotional expression of one's love for their God or of a person's goals.
Magic can be, if you allow it, a compass on your journey to the higher goal of your religion.

 The Magic Christian   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The worst thing about The Magic Christian is that it thinks that it’s good for you.
Essentially a series of flout sketches in which people are induced by cash to do embarrassing and/or unprincipled things, it comes on like it’s revealing some hitherto concealed facet of “straight” society, the better to seem irreverent and “with-it” in that vaguely-defined sixties kind of way.
Sure, there are vampires, musclemen, gay stereotypes and Raquel Welch, but when there’s no game plan beyond random irreverence it just becomes an noisy bore, made all the more unpleasant by people jumping into vats of blood and manure.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: The Magic Christian
Because its sketch-comedy indictments of Society's Empty Values don't get much less sophomoric than that, The Magic Christian is never as clever or enlightened as it thinks it is. Plus, after more than 30 years, any satire here that may once have been biting now just gums.
But as The Magic Christian meanders drunkenly from scene to scene, out come the "name that celebrity" cameos that contribute to its minor cult-kitsch popularity.
The Magic Christian has fleeting moments of fun, is a should-see for those of us who dig on Sellers and vintage Britcom, and heaven knows it's a sampler tray of its time.

1969's "The Magic Christian" is a zany, riotous romp released at the end of the turbulent, psychedelic 60's.
Dated it is. Starring Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr(as his son), "The Magic Christian" is a pre-Monty Python extravaganza featuring some funny skits, cameo bits by celebrities, and a series of long, boring episodes with Sir Guy(Sellers) lost in total self-absorption.
"The Magic Christian" is a curious mish-mash of adroit British humor, shaky hand-held photography, and cut-and-paste story-telling.
