Details

• Release Year: 1981
• Genre: Musical
• Plot: The filmed version of the highly successful Broadway play 'The Magic Show' brings magical illusions, as well as engaging music by the Oscar-winning composer of 'Pocahantas' and 'The Prince of Egypt', to the story of a talented, young magician Doug (Doug Henning) using his magic for 'good' over the villainous 'evil' magic performed by the dastardly Van Zyskind.; The story begins when Doug is summoned to an obscure nightclub in New York to replace its main attraction: an over-the-hill (usually inebriated) old magician named Van Zyskind, who, not surprisingly, does not want to be replaced. Van Zyskind employs all the dastardly deeds he can devise to dispense of Doug. The music and magic presented here highlight a dazzling display of wizardry by Doug Henning, who triumphs in the end to the delight of all.; This is the only version of one of Broadway's most beloved and longest running musicals and captures the legendary talents of Doug Henning, Anita Morris and Didi Conn at their best.
