Magic Tricks

I bought this set primarily as research for my novel THE DUMMY CASE, a story of magic, illusion, and murder. I had remembered this show vaguely as a kid, and I needed some background on magicians to create my characters.

"Magic Ranch" is outstanding as a historical record of magic as performed in Chicago during the post-war period. Don Alan is a consummate magician and entertainer. His quests were amusing, and the young magicians are a delight. I even liked the commercials, which I'm grateful some were left in.

This 3 DVD set helped me tremendously.
