Documentaries About Magicians You Should Check Out

by Allison Yakulis

Is magic one of my pet interests? Not particularly. I had a kit when I was 7 or 8, and after two lackluster performances for my extended family that were embarrassing and painful for all involved it gathered dust under my bed until my dad got rid of it. When Breaking The Magician’s Code: Magic’s Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed debuted on FOX in 1997 I was 9, and totally into seeing how all the big stage tricks were done (by the by, a lot of it can be found on their Youtube channel if you’re interested). That was about it for me and magic, until I started streaming documentaries in my late 20’s and realized I will watch any documentary about magicians (and really enjoy it!).
