    • Trivia
      Bill Bixby was a skilled amateur magician. He actually learned how to do the magic tricks for this role, so for most of the magic there was no trick photography used at all. Some magic did use the frame of the camera or edits to allow effects that would not have been possible otherwise.

    Good Show!!

    I was in High School when this show first aired. I thought Bixby was Wonderful in it. I remember I had cut out the Article about Bixby, and the show that was in the "TV Guide". I remember reading that Bixby trained under famed magician Mark Wilson. Bixby actually performed all the tricks on the show.
