It still stands up, 17 April 2006
7/10
Author: simon.conder from United Kingdom

After a long long long search I have found the entire two season run of The Magician on DVD.

It was rather odd to sit and watch a TV show that I had such fond memories of from way back in the 1970's.

I have to say that I found the series to still work in many respects. I still loved the music and the opening sequence (first year), I still love the car and the magic.

What is clear watching back to back episodes is that the winning format of the early episodes to me was far too quickly dropped and in so many ways the show went into decline. Some of the episodes are rather tedious with even the magic not lifting them. But all that goes away when the show comes together.

In this day and age of CGI what a cool idea it was that 100% of the magic was real and not fake.

I am really pleased to have tracked down this show from the 1970's. Bill Bixby was always an interesting actor and this show proves.
