	The History of the Magician Card (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Although the two visions of the magician can mix and interact in fascinating ways, it is accurate to say that in modern decks we usually see the magus; in the historic decks we usually see the stage magician.
		The lemniscate over the Magician's head in modern decks is a consequence of French occultist Elpiphas Levi's musings on the shape of the Magician's hat in the old decks.
		The Magician in the historic decks is connected with another archetype as well; that of the craftsman or artisan, as we see in the Tarocchi del Mantegna prints.

	Mandrake the Magician - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leon Mandrake, the stage magician, who was known for his top hat, pencil line moustache and scarlet-lined cape, bears a strong resemblance to the comic strip character.
		The musical Mandrake the Magician and the Enchantress was produced during the late 1970s at the Lenox Arts Festival in Massachusetts with music by George Quincy, book by Lee Falk and Thayer Burch, and lyrics by Thayer Burch.
		The use of a magician's top hat and magic wand in images and logos also show that MandrakeSoft wanted to associate the name with a magician, and not (for example) the mandrake root.

	Movie Info for The Magician on MSN Movies
		This TV movie stars Bill Bixby as a professional magician who is wrongly accused of a crime and sent to prison.
		The film proudly states in its prologue that all the illusions seen during the story are actual magic tricks, minus special camera effects--though it strains credibility to assume that Bixby carries a prop for every occasion to confound the crooks at a moment's notice.
		The Magician was transformed into a weekly 60-minute series in the fall of 1973.

	Trinity Filmed Entertainment: The Magician: A Scott Ryan Film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Magician, from Trinity Filmed Entertainment, is a darkly comic film about Melbourne-based hitman Ray Shoesmith who is being filmed by his friend and neighbour Max, a film student.
		Hailed on its Australian release as one of the smartest and most entertaining Australian films of recent years, The Magician has at its core a stunning central performance from writer-director-actor Scott Ryan.
		Funny, tense and unpredictable, in The Magician is his character is a killer, a man who would as soon pull the trigger as not, but without smoothing out any of the rough edges the actor makes you like him when what you should be feeling is utter loathing for The Magician.

	The Magician : film review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The film is shot in a hand-held documentary style with Melbourne-based hitman Ray Shoesmith (Ryan) being tailed by his neighbour, film student and cameraman Max (Massimiliano Andrighetto), who interviews him from behind the camera.
		This almost happens in The Magician when Max unwittingl y gets Ray involved in a personal conflict of his own involving an ex-housemate.
		Unfortunately, this is a plot non-sequitur, ultimately leaving us none the wiser about the relationship between filmmaker and subject, and no more interested in the main protagonist.

	The Magician / The Magician TV Show / TVparty!
		Both the network and the studio saw Blake as a "modern-day swashbuckler" who was as smooth with the ladies as he was performing basic feats of prestidigitation, whereas Bixby (himself an accomplished amateur magician off-camera) wanted a show with more of an aesthetic appeal, particularly with regard to how the magic was performed each week.
		However, due to the rush to get 'The Magician' on the air after the strike, things were never quite in sync, and the show suffered as a result.
		The Magician finally disappeared in May 1974, though reruns aired ran on ABC Late Night in 1976 before eventually landing on the Sci-Fi Channel in 1993.

	Making A Bad Movie, Part Five
		card reading, the magician realizes the cards coming up are intended for him, and he hustles the woman out, unfortunately into the waiting maws of unseen (and therefore cost-efficient) beasties.
		This would have been too expensive in money and time, however, so we just decided to have the magician catch a bolt in the chest - only being saved by the big damn mystic amulet he wore.
		I was to play the magician, Ben Magnus, and another of our actor friends, Kayce Glass, played the woman.

	At the Movies: The Magician
		Talk about no budget: Scott Ryan shot THE MAGICIAN for just $3,000, but it would probably not have been seen outside his own circle of friends had it not been for the level of wit and charm he brings to the material.
		The sudden change from humour to murder is startling, and keeps the audience on the edge of their seat, ready to either laugh out loud or be startled.
		The movie is very Australian, and makes you appreciate the Australian sense of humour, which is a refreshing change from the US humour.

	The Prestige Movie Review - The Prestige Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
		The setting is Victorian London, and the first thing we see is well-known magician Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) slip backstage and queer the act of his rival, Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman).
		In one of the movie's most felicitous appearing acts, Tesla is played by David Bowie, who acts as if it's perfectly normal for him to be here.
		An element of sci-fi is introduced at a crucial juncture, and while it takes the movie to an interesting (if weird) level, it's hard to shake the sense that someone is cheating.

		Most tough guys in movies are monotonously tough, but Ray has many sides.

	MMI Movie Review: Melies The Magician
		Art Video and Facets Video hope to redress that neglect with the DVD "Melies The Magician" including "The Magic of Melies", a documentary film by Jacques Meny, plus "Melies' Magic Show", 15 short films made by the great Melies himself between 1898 and 1909.
		"Melies The Magician" is clearly a labor of love that every true Melies admirer will want to own, but a few artistic decisions were made that bugged this particular reviewer.
		For someone who was transported to fantasy land the first time she saw "Trip To The Moon" in a film class, the artistic choice of talking OVER Melies seems severely flawed at best and vandalistic at worst.

	"The Magician" (1973) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Plot Summary: Anthony Blake is a very compassionate and wealthy magician, who uses his talents as an illusionist and escape artist to help people in trouble...
		Apparently Bixby trained as an actual magician and vowed that all the tricks shown on the program were authentic, this lead to the famous Magician Blackstone offically recognizing the show.
		If you were a fan of Maninix, Streets of San Francisco, Knight Rider or any of the crime shows with a "twist" from the 70's such as David McCallum's Invisible Man or Gemini Man, this series is worth a look (if you can find it that is).

		Wart as King Arthur is apprehensive of his ability to govern, but Merlin returns to reassure him.
		The movie is somewhat dated because it is filled with 1960s references, but it has some wonderful moments, especially the highly imaginative wizard's duel.

		I believe that the magician's last name was changed to Blake in the (too short) series.
		This show was very inventive and used a lot of actual sleight of hand taught to and learned by Bill Bixby.
		When the series began, the name had suddenly become Anthony Blake (which I think was the better name anyway).

		Some scenes are genuinely laugh-out-loud funny; others, should have been cut except then the 86 minutes running time would even be less.
		A movie about a hit-man needs to have more violence, and the Magician suffers from being too talky.
		I think this is something like Clerks or Evil Dead that upon first viewing isn't overwhelmingly impressive but could gain cult status and gain a loyal fan base.
