THE MAGICIAN - THE PILOT SHOW - 90 MINS

The Concept

In The Magician, Bixby played Anthony Blake, a renowned illusionist/escape artist who had been imprisoned in a brutal South American jail on a false espionage charge.  While in prison, Blake became close friends with an elderly cellmate; when Blake broke out of prison two years later, he took the old man with him.  A few months later, the grateful old man on his deathbed bestowed upon the Magician a considerable fortune.  Blake then became a sort of modern-day Count of Monte Cristo, putting his wealth and skills to the use of other victims of injustice. In contrast to most other TV crime stoppers, Blake didn't carry a gun—in fact, he abhorred violence, and instead relied on his skills as a magician as his only arsenal against evil. "[With his magic], he overcomes brutality with dexterity and intelligence, and shows that compassion and intellect are stronger than brawn and brute force," proclaimed a spokesman for the show in 1973.

The Pilot

Magician Anthony Dorian's curiosity is aroused when a man walks in on one of his performances, collapses and dies. He discovers that the man wanted to tell something to a woman in his audience--but what? Tony discovers that the woman's daughter, who supposedly died a week earlier, may still be alive. The plot thickens when Tony discovers a scheme involving a stolen bomb, and he must discover the strange fate of the daughter before it's too late.
