The Magician Pilot part 9/9 - Bill Bixby

The conclusion for the pilot of "The Magician" starring Bill BIxby in the title role. Please consider emailing Paramount Home Entertainment (I think it's now Sony) to ask for the release of this DVD. There's a petition online & you can find the link at my profile (see below) . It's always a step in the right direction.

TRIVIA: Don Brit Reid who plays Lucien Baker also appears in The Incredible Hulk, episode "On The Line" as Eric Wilson. He is credited as Don Reid.

Many guest stars from The Magician found their way onto the set of The Incredible Hulk; Bill Bixby was no doubt performing his own brand of generous magic and pulling strings with the production.(And a Hulk writer is on record in a DVD interview as saying that he enjoyed working again with previous castmates.) Throughout his life, Mr. Bixby was a humanitarian who enjoyed helping out in real life, much like he did as Tony Blake in The Magician. An example to try an emulate in our lives as much as we can!

I hope you enjoyed this episode. Thank you for watching. Sam.

Bill Bixby was always great in movies and tv shows...my favorite martian, the courtship of eddie's father, the magician & the incredible hulk. He had an intelligent look on his face. I also always enjoy magic!

I just love The Magician. I was just at the right age when it was first shown in the UK.

The magic was great and I admired Bill Bilxby and the producers for making it all real and no trick photography. Music great, Car great, Idea great.

It was only a short lived series and I understand it was expensive to make which is why the got rid of the plane and transferred the location to The Castle.

The first 6 eppisodes are the best I think.

A classic of its time.

This show is not bad. I always like watching Bill Bixby shows. I agree that he died too early.

@FozzyUSN I sure do!

[Barclay1987]

@d4seasons Yeah, I argee with you!

[Barclay1987]

Bill's character looked like an agent more than as a Magician!

Thanks to SamHillFilms for bringing this show back. I hope to see more when they are available.

I wonder if people realize that Kim Hunter also played Dr. Zira, a Chipanze on the Original Planet of the Apes.
