I'm new here so I don't know if this has been discussed, but I'ld like to know if the knight rider episode w/ Lance Burton is available anywhere? I saw it the week it aired (years ago) and not since.

Curt

I'm familiar with this episode. It is great! A LOT of magic performed and, unlike most magic themed tv show episodes, all of the illusions performed were done so without any camera tricks.

Here's a piece of trivia for you. Mark Wilson provided the large illusions used in the show (this was WAY before Lance was as big as he is now) - during the warehouse scenes, you can see many of the classic Wilson illusions.

And, if you watch closely, during the Table of Death illusion, when Lance asks for 2 volunteers to help, one who comes up is Mark Wilson himself!

I'm glad you told me. I'll call Mark and ask if he has a copy.

Thanks.

Hey do you have a copy?

Curt

I do have a copy but most of my videos are boxed and in storage. I'll ask around for you and see if I can find a copy.

I also saw this many years ago and have a copy however it's in storage in another country. Sorry.

Thanks guys-- if one of you find a copy just pm me. Thanks!

Curt

Will do!

No luck yet, anone?

Curt

I am unframilliar with this special -- it isn't one of his 5, is it?

Brian

Brian,
This is not a special. It was an old (depending how old you are) t.v. show. Lance played the bad guy, a magician who killed people during his show. He did an outstanding job. The magician he played could do magic anywhere with anything. I would like footage of that particular episode of "Knight Rider".

Does anyone know off hand which season of Knight Rider this episode was in?

B.

I do not
Curt

I believe it was episode #86 titled "Deadly Knightshade".

EDIT: No wait ... Episode #77:

Great info. Where can I buy a copy of that episode?

Curt

Thanks, JoeJoe. Armed with that info I look forward to tracking this down since I've never seen the episode. magicurt, If I'm reading Amazon's search results correctly, this episode may not be commercially available yet (at least on DVD, if it was released on VHS it might be on eBay, but I didn't look since my VHS was phased out a while back). And, unless I'm mistaken, any non-commercially available copies that might come up for sale could have legal issues associated with them.
