  • The art of penny juggling as demonstrated by Donie Murphy from Cork City.
    With a few old coins and getting the angle of a breast pocket just right Donie Murphy makes penny juggling look easy for onlookers in Cork.
    This episode of ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’ was broadcast on 12 April 1975.
    Frank Hall’s amusing and satirical series began on 29 September 1971 with the full title ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly Incorporating the Provincial Vindicator’ which became known as ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’.
    The series allowed Frank Hall to follow his own interest in the lives of viewers throughout the country. Regarded as RTE’s flagship comedy show, it featured satirical sketches on current news stories and popular culture, as well as parody songs, comedy sketches, re-edited videos, cartoons and spoof television formats.

    Very funny story about Donie
    Myself and my Friend were just teenagers at the time and was very familiar with Donie and his Trick but one time we met him and he said to us "Do you want a fiver" and of course we said we did and he pulled a fiver out of his pocket and gave it to us and then said "do you want to see a trick" and we said yeah so he said "give me the fiver for a second and I'll show you something" so we gave him the fiver and quick as a flash he put it back into his pocket and said "ah lads you should have kept onto it the first time" and away he went

    Donie, one for the record! Filming was taken in what is now the car park next to South Gate Bridge ( or behind the Grand Parade). Note the statue of Our Lady in the last scene - a link probably to Dun Mhuire, adjacent to Nano Nagle Bridge, and HQ in Cork for the Legion of Mary at the time.
