The Science of Magic by Harry Anderson

Harry Anderson - The Science of Magic

Discover the real razzle-dazzle behind the power of hocus-pocus!

Join host Harry Anderson, himself a pretty fair magician, and take a behind-the-scenes tour through cunning misdirections, optical illusions & manipulations of geometry.

The Science of Magic reveals trade secrets you thought you'd never learn. See how audiences are mystified by daring sleights of hand. Appearances by Criss Angel, Lance Burton and Franz Harary (who somehow manages to make the Hawaiian volcano Diamond Head disappear!) Noted magic historian Charlie Reynolds also offers some commentary.

First appeared in 1997 & now extremely hard to find. This is a good quality rip of a DVD released after the documentary aired.

Running time: 52 minutes.
