As a schoolteacher, I am certainly NOT rich.

But wouldn't it be great if some wealthy lover of magic (like a film producer or a dermatologist) were to produce film biographies of the all-time greats of magic who have not had a film made of their lives previously, like The Great Hermann, Blackstone, Kellar, Thurston, Annemann, Vernon, Le Paul, Henning, etc., etc.?

If the films were really good, they could be commercially viable. Anyone else have any thoughts on this? What a great way to promote magic to the public!

There's this one on Vernon... I haven't seen it myself (except for the very brief clips) so can't comment on how good it is.

I am eager to know those legend.
Is this moive available to buy?

Snowboard, he was talking about IF they had videos like that, it would be cool. As of now, there aren't. (As far as I know anyway.)


But I did see a show on a while back on A&E about the history of magic. I didn't get to see much though, If I remember correctly, I had to do a show.

There is a video set about the magicians, its very interesting, I could see if I can find it, I don't remember much but it could have benn 6 or 7 volumes.
