For goodness' sake, don't watch Heroes. You might be influenced to go and jump off a building or something...

OK - I may have been wrong about my memories of my dad being a guest star on the "The Magician" but I have a vivid memory of him performing a feature part in a movie filmed in the Castle which I may have confused with an episode of "The Magician.". It might have been a made for TV movie named "Murder in the Magic Castle." Do any of you remember that film? It was a very bad film but,after all,it was my father and I found it to be better than a sharp stick in the eye.

The Internet Movie Database lists A Night at the Magic Castle (1988).

It claims to be the first movie ever filmed/shot inside the Magic Castle on Franklin, California. I think the key word there might be inside since outdoor shots of the Castle are pretty common. It further claims that Magic Castle magicians performed in the movie. Unfortunately there are no names listed.

The plot outline partially reads:

Coming-of-age story. Boy turns seven, and is flown to Magic Castle by Harry Houdini to battle the evil magician and his young protg.

Arte Johnson played Houdini in the film. Matt Shakman plays the boy. This gentleman is still acting with some recent television credits. Perhaps someone knows him and can ask about this film.

By the way, your father was in the episode of The Magician titled The Illusion of the Curious Counterfeit.

This was a two-part episode and I cannot recall in which part he appeared, but perhaps it was both which might explain why you were thinking he was in two episodes. My notes mention that it was a cameo and he was performing the Cups and Balls. That leads me to believe that it was just one part.

All that said, most, if not all of the copies that are out there have been edited, having been recorded from when the series appeared on the Sci-Fi cable channel some years ago. Its very possible that The Professor appeared on more than one episode as the shows originally aired, but has been edited out of subsequent airings.

Thanks Dustin. After all these years, I sometimes begin to doubt my own memories.

Yes, the show was called "Blacke's Magic" and starred Hal Lindon as a magician and Harry Morgan as his con-man father and together they fight crime.
A lot of shows from the 80's had odd couple characters teaming up to fight crime. Blacke's Magic & Scarecrow and Mrs. King are two that come to mind.
In fact, if you want, you can make a game of it. The rules are simple, take two characters whose occupations and traits are vastly different and end with the words "And together, they fight crime."

Let's try it shall we?

One is a popular mentalist and author who has a spooky demeanor.
The other is a straight laced card man with a million dollar smile.
And together they fight crime.
Yes, it's Maven and Ammar. Fighting crime with a thought and a smile!

Go ahead, it's fun.

Once I was admonished for straying off topic. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS FORUM WAS ABOUT MAGIC DAMNIT! I believed that, and even tried to bring this thread back to magic with Bixby. I do my best and try to follow the rules.

Well Derek, had you read the very first post in this thread, made by your host here, you would have read, Nothing to do with magic, but...
