Netflix!!


So happy to see it on Netflix!! I watched this waaaaaay back when it first aired in the 90's and I remember loving it, and I didn't even know they did a second series later! I must have totally missed that, so I was very excited to see it! I have a 6yr old son, and he loves watching it too! We even did the crayon trick for my mom, lol!
I would def suggest giving this a try if you've never seen it!! Some worry that knowing the tricks will take away the 'magic' and I can see how that would be true, but it didn't for me.... I still am in awe and wonder when I see a trick.
It's just a fun show to watch! Mitch P is perfect as the host! The assistants are amazing! (I feel the need to do a separate post just about them......

yeah im watching all of it on netflix now. i definately remember seeing it on tv originally but dont remember much. i like when he does the easy simple tricks so you can do them at home. i did the rope one where you cut it in half and make it become one again lol.

+1, also found it on Netflix. Wonder if they're interested in doing a revival...

I have zero memories of this show, so this was all new/original programming for me. :) I was only around 8~ when the original one with Val came on, I never really watched Fox back then.

I really like this show, into the fifth episode now. Mitch Pileggi narrating was a pleasant surprise being a huge X-Files fan. I like this show, stands up well today and is really interesting to see how these tricks are done. Really mind blowingly stupid when you see how some of them are done.
