The Magician // All 21 Episodes Plus TV Movie Pilot

So happy that could still buy this on DVD, for those of us who are a certain age and can remember this programme and Bill who is just not remembered for only being the Hulk but his other TV appreases such as My Favoriate Martin and the Courtship or Eddys Father, and of course The Magician. Though I must admit looking at the DVDs have noticed that they only ever showed the first series and not the second on TV, honestly prefered the first series, so sadly could see why this series only lasted two outings - a real shame, still lovely to watch and to listen to the theme tune again, and sad that he left us so young - an all round perfomer - Bill you are missed!

A tv gem from the 1970s . Great quality dvd arrived ahead of time and exactly as advertised great service and delivery.

Great !!! I've not seen this since the 1970's as a kid and only had vague memories of enjoying it at the time , so thought I'd take the chance ! Picture quality is not Blu Ray but much better than I was expecting , really enjoyable to see this again ! Bill Bixby is great , pity the show didn't run into more seasons.

I like this series very much and it was a joy to catch up with again after 50 years. The box set was a bit plain no extra and did arrive a day late, but more than well come. The communication from the seller was great Many Thank S

Absolutely brilliant! Totally forgot about this gem of a TV show. Remember watching this back in the 70s with mum and dad. What a great detective show a magician is the detective Bill Bixby is absolutely brilliant I paid£44 and have no regrets at all. Their is no swearing blood and gore just brilliant scripts and acting and phenomenal stunts no CGI back then. Some episodes are a bit grainy but still very watchable and sound quality is pretty good and definitely better than the original airing. The case state ntc but it does play on pal region 2 I have been using the disc's on my PS4. A great magician detective family friendly series you can watch with your children grandchildren and tell them how great the 70s was. Going to a magical theme restaurant with a live magical performance show WOW!

I liked every episode. There was one episode once I found out an important clue to the trick I knew how it was done due to the fact an episode of Jonathan Creek did the very same trick years later. So that ruined it a tiny bit, but not altogether. It is a shame the series did not last very long, I am guessing they ran out of magic tricks and stories to tell.

This is a little known gem of the early 1970s US detective genre, with the added quirk that Bill Bixby's character (Tony Blake) is a famous magician (Bixby, apparently a keen amateur magician, performed his own tricks on screen). I remember watching the series in the UK in about 1975, I think. It has an intriguing and interesting premise and holds your attention with its twists and turns. Blake lives (initially) on a private Boeing 720 jet and drives a white Corvette Stingray which fits in the jet via a rear ramp! In later episodes he lives at The Magic Castle club, a real magic club in LA. Many well known faces to look out for & locations such as the Pike amusement park & Queen Mary in Long Beach. The picture quality is surprisingly good considering its age. Recommended.

WROTE A REVIEW BEFORE WATCHING ITEM, THE SERIES CONTAINS FOUR DISCS. PUT INTO TWO WALLETS, WITH A PARTITION TO FIT TWO DISCS IN ONE SLEEVE, IN MY OPINION, THE BOX WAS DEEP ENOUGH TO DO THIS SEPARATELY, CHEAP COST CUTTING MEASURE, MAKES IT HARD TO SLIDE DVDS IN AND OUT, PICTURE QUALITY IS JUST OK, THE FIRST DISC IS THE WORSE, BUT NOT QUITE V.H.S STANDARD, JUST NOT AS SHARP AS THE OTHER THREE. YOU WILL SEE CAST AND CREW MEMBERS, FROM CLASSIC SHOWS, THAT WERE FAVOURITES. TONY BLAKE IS BANNER, WITHOUT THE HULK, WITH PLOTS, THAT SHOW COULD HAVE USED, YOU CAN SPOT THE REVAMP, IN EFFORT, TO TRY AND SAVE SHOW, THE FORMAT CHANGES ON THE LAST TWO DISCS. BILL BIXBY IS HIGHLY WATCHABLE AND GREATLY MISSED.
