Tim tests his lungs...

Tim welcomes an old friend Clive Panto to the Grand Illusions tv studio, and Clive brings with him an amazing contraption. Sometimes called a blow back pipe, this weird device is made largely from brass and was apparently used by miners in Wales to check out how well their lungs were working.
