PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION for "The Magician" DVD : http://petitiononline.com/TMDvD1/

Bill Bixby starred as "The Magician" in this 1973-1974 TV series. The music is by Garbage: "The World is Not Enough" from the James Bond movie by the same title. Tony Blake (Bixby) was a James Bond type.

Behind-the-scenes: This video was edited "blind" because of a problem with the equipment (WMM's preview pane working at less than 25% capacity and freezing then crashing every few minutes) and took well over 100 hours to edit. It required endless publishing of tiny second clips to test for matching of music and repeated redoing. Unlike the Todd Crespi tribute (The Magician music video #2)this one was done all by hand and not by the software, except for 2 brief clips (7 & 11 seconds respectively).

Bill Bixby is better known for "The Incredible Hulk" 1978 TV series. David Banner fans: sorry no hulk outs here.

I am going through a "gotta have everything Bixby"phase right now and am so glad to see pieces of his "Magician" series here.

I am too young to remember the show, as I was only about 3 or 4 years old when it originally aired, but it intrigues me immensely! I think your video is great, and the song choice is just perfect with the clips! Thanks so much for sharing!

How you are missed, Bill Bixby! Thank you for your marvelous talents.

@priceja70 Thank you very much, glad it pleases you. I have another music video "For Love or Magic" & about 4 full length episodes which I hope you will enjoy. Thank you again for having taken the time to rate & comment, much appreciated.

Hey, how in SamHill did I miss this? WOW..I was so sure I commented and I guess I didn't. :O I love this song and you did a great job on the video! It totally fits the spy aspect of the series, which, aside from the magic and sleight of hand, played heavily into it. Great ending with all the quick clips too. And thanks for letting me know about the pilot with the notes. I'll try and catch that soon.

[SamHillFilms]

@Voyagersguidebook PS: thanks for noticing the ending & for your compliment. I thought I was going to go insane trying to figure out how to match the rapid music to images. Finding the right 2 second clips & make them fit with the music & trim them exactly & make them flow with previous (bird/Mark Wilson) was challenging to the max, to say the least!

cool video, need more or this or more episodes of the magician.

[SamHillFilms]

@rowlaghhellcat Just uploaded the pilot in 9 parts.

I just got into the series about a month ago and I love it and this video was nicely done. 5 stars and two thumbs way, way up! I must say this video finally gave me a song idea and inspired me to make a video. I said it in the description of my video but I'll say it again, thank you SamHillFilms :)

Was quite a good looking guy, cute, and very sexy. I never saw this show, but loved the others' he was in. He was great in more serious roles AND incredibly funny in funny roles. 'My Favorite Martian' was my fav show as a kid. It's a classic. Right up there with 'I Love Lucy' in quality and humour, etc. IMO. Don't know if it ever got that same respect. The MFM show was canceled too soon, due to lack of funds or something like that. What a shame.

Nice!

[Mrvenom009]

he was a great hulk too

[aimhigh2k2]

Sam, very nice! The song really goes well with it, as if it was meant to be :) Love the transitions. I agree that The Magician was very James Bond-like

and no probs re: the stars! :)
