"For Love or Magic" - The Magician Music Video #2 - Bill Bixby

Official online the Magician DVD petition
http://www.petitiononline.com/TMDvD1/

Keep The Faith Productions is proud to finally bring you the 2nd music video of the Sam Hill Films "The Magician" series. It's been a long year & 1/2 since Sam Hill's "Version 008" (the "James Bondesque" Pilot music video #1) and we would like to apologize for this The Magician drought.

Here's hoping the fans will enjoy this installment, please make sure to let us know in ratings and maybe comments as well. Thank you.

Kristina Holland of course worked with Bill Bixby in "The Courtship of Eddie's Father". She is the one featured here in (hot) water!

Before there was Tubbs & Crockett, we had Tony & Jerry! This video pays a little homage of sorts to the famous series and the video for which this music title is forevermore attached to. Here's hoping their fans will want to find out more about The Magician which paved the way for shows like these.

This is fantastic, perfect just perfect with this song, Bixby was the master of expression conveyed everything by a mere look, now that's rare magic. A true magician, never be another.

@Kenanee Thank you for your kind words, both for the video and for Bill Bixby. I'm pleased that you enjoyed the video and agree with your well worded words about our magician hero. Sam

Hi again, Sam. Thanks very much for letting me know about this video, too. Another terrific job! Again, the song fits the content of the clips incredibly well! You are extremely talented and I really appreciate you sharing so much of what appears to be a great show, however short-lived it was.

Let's hope the DVD petition makes a difference. Meantime, I'm anxious to watch the episodes you posted. I will view them and comment as soon as I can. Thanks again. ~ Julie

You're welcome Julie. Thank you for your generous comments. I think you will also enjoy my friend Lordismyportion's "Illusion & dream" music video. It focuses more on the magic aspect of the series and is very well made. Thanks for having added your signature to the petition, they are needed! Sam

I'm afraid I don't remember Kristina Holland. Although, I did recognize Elizabeth Ashley. In that outfit, @ 1:50-2:00, she looked just like Cote de Pablo from NCIS! I also recognized "Tony Blake's" partner, in the montage, as the same actor who played "Mark," Raymond Burr's bodyguard, on IRONSIDE. And, speaking of recognition? I rate this "thumb's up! Thank you for sharing this with us. :-)

Hi Cary, you got me intrigued about Jim Watkins being in Ironside. I researched it. Might it be that you're thinking of Don Mitchell playing Mark Sanger? :-) IMDb does not list Ironside for Watkins.

Thank you sam for this amazing video.

It hits me on several levels I met with Bill Bixby and Talked w/ Larry Anderson from the show several times. The show is probably the main reasom I became a magician . Also the music you used was the music ( In the Air tonight By Phil Collins) We used for seeing through a woman when I worked on the Copperfield show and I must have done the illusion 300 times I still see every nuance in my mind when i hear this music.

Anyway Thank You Again

Oh my gosh! This is absolutely amazing video. I'm very speechless. You did a marvelous job. Wow I am really impressed. I love it!

This was one of my favorite shows. I became an apprentice magician after taking a class at the magic castle in Hollywood.

Well done Sam. Thanks for sharing.

[SamHillFilms]

Thank you very much for your generous comment, my friend, I'm pleased. (Also the line at the bottom, I could do without!)

Sam this video is PERFECT. It is awesome. I have watched it four times and it gets better each time. I know how much work goes into making these videos--not just the technical part of editing, but the creative aspect of it. You nailed it. I love this! The only thing that would make it any better (and this is just me being picky because I expect I'll be watching this frequently) is if the white border were not present, and it looked more like a movie screen. That's just me being greedy.
