Death By Magic

This dramatic reality series will have your heart pounding as DMC theatrically performs over-the-top, life-threatening stunts designed to both entertain and utterly freak people out. The magician successfully builds the tension up in each episode by talking about the dangers posed by each trick, how other magicians died in the attempt, and, on occasion, discussing his personal fears. Adding to this are the reactions of the live audience assembled to watch DMC perform his master illusion at the end of each installment. These include an attempted escape from a locked box while in a straight jacket before getting hit by a speeding train, and getting out of handcuffs and escaping a car filled with water before drowning,

The stories about the demise of past magicians are interesting, especially when he discovers some deaths were a result of completely unexpected circumstances. However, sensitive viewers may find these harrowing tales, and DMC's interpretation of their fatal feats, disturbing. But the smaller illusions he performs through each episode are fun, and magic fans will recognize the commitment he has to the craft. They will also understand the homage he is paying to the late magicians by performing their tricks. Even if you're not a magic fan, Death By Magic offers some great, nail-biting moments that will impress.
