The magic performances still look great, Bixby is (as in all his roles) a likable lead actor, and the show holds up well after all this time. When my mom had us watch this show in the 1970's, it was an engaging concept and became "must see TV" in our home, and I think it still would please audiences today.
THOUGHTS: As a kid I somehow missed this show when it aired originally. Odd, since I loved magic (what young boy doesn't?) and admired Bill Bixby, fresh off his starring role in the wonderful Courtship of Eddie's Father. Why this show didn't last longer I cannot understand. It has a clever sense of fun and plays to Bixby's acting strengths, (plus, as an amateur magician, Bixby did all of his own illusions, which is really pretty cool). There are plenty of 'name' guest stars to be on the lookout for, which ups the value of this set for the curious. My main gripe about the series was the odd decision to re-tool the established format halfway through the season; it's like the producers sensed that their audience was disappearing, so they tried a little hocus-pocus in an attempt to salvage/renew viewer interest. Multi-millionaire & master illusionist Tony Blake, who lives aboard his own private jumbo jet(!), was changed to a working magician who now lives above a magic-themed nightclub and becomes inadvertently involved (or consulted) to help solve perplexing crimes that baffle traditional law enforcement investigation. The producers also jettisoned Tony's friends from the first half (Keene Curtis & Todd Crespi) and introduce a new confidant/helper (Joseph Sirola) for him in the second half. Not as strange (but still regrettable), Tony's good friend, pilot and co-crime solver Jerry Anderson, (Jim Watkins), eventually disappears altogether - and without any help from Tony! What's worse, is that none of these jarring changes were EVER explained. Odd. Still, if you enjoy any of the other cop & detective shows of the 70's, (and there are a wealth of both), then you'll likely enjoy THE MAGICIAN, too. After all... it's mystery, magic and Bill Bixby! Honestly, what more could you want?!?
THE DVD's: A nice, 4-disc set from VEI. The discs are enclosed in a single compact snapcase. The cover art insert sheet is reversible, with episode titles, info and a brief plot synopsis for each of the 21 episodes printed on the inside. The clear plastic allows you to read through it, but the discs obscure most of the data, so you'll either have to remove them or take out the insert to read the info. The shows themselves look alright, considering there was no restoration done to them. Then again, this series probably didn't see the light of day very often after its initial run due to the limited number of episodes, so the source prints were still probably in decent shape. Please be advised that there is some slight 'smudging' (I don't know what else to call it), which occurs throughout all of the episodes; almost like the lens on the camera being used in the remastering process had a slight smear on it, causing a thin horizontal section (usually right around the middle 1/3 of the screen) to be slightly out of focus. Somewhat annoying but by no means a deal-breaker, and in the end it was worth buying this set just so I could finally watch the complete series. It's a fun little show. Such a shame that it didn't last longer than a single season. How nice it is now to be able to own it in its entirety. THE MAGICIAN comes strongly recommended for magic buffs, mystery lovers and fans of Bill Bixby.
It was a little stiff at first but they started keeping the stories tighter toward the end.
I was very pleased to get to watch it again. If only some of my family was still around on this plane to see it with me.

This show definitely could have run for several seasons, it had an Interesting concept, quite different from other TV shows in that era.
Bill Bixby was a fine actor (and magician!) who left this world much too soon. Very sad. I thought about that while watching these episodes.
I'm glad I took a chance on this set, I'm only sorry there are just 4 discs to view.
Sound and picture quality are fine throughout.
Love that gypsy theme music and the "mod" clothes, sleek cars and oh so groovy hairstyles! What a great decade that was for style.😏
Packaging is fine too.
