didn't know it was on DVD.
I noticed it on Amazon yesterday and quickly bought it.I've never actually seen an episode but Bill Bixby as a magician that solves crimes.That description sells itself.
shareThe funny thing about the series was that Bill Bixby was actually an amateur magician. This show gave him an opportunity to 'perform' some of his tricks.
shareHe was trained during this show by a real performing magician, Mark Wilson. Wilson had his own TV show several years earlier, which IIRC was a kid's show. He would generally use magic to rescue his assistant/wife from some danger.
Wilson is listed in the credits of "The Magician" as the "magic consultant", and appeared in a few shows over the last half of the series, generally in a brief shot near the end, doing some sleight of hand.
