This show ( and there were about 4 of them I think) showed how all the modern and old illusions were done and unravelled for the benefit of those watching. A lot of magicians were very angry when this came out as they said it would destroy their trade. The excuse given was that it would encourage them to do even more elaborate illusions. Whatever the ethics, the viewer was transformed into the magicians world and it was surprising how easily some of the illusions were done. One thing, that is probably not appreciated by the viewer is the fact that the magician has a first class team backing him up from all the dancing girls to his off camera assistants. My personal favourite was making a tank disappear ..... it was so easy when you saw how it was done !!
