Alan Davies Houdini doc airs July 28 in the UK
The well-made 2014 documentary The Magic of Houdini with Alan Davies will air on PBS America and SKY 534 in the UK on Friday, July 28 at 9PM. It then repeats at 12:00 AM and 4:00 AM on July 29.
In The Magic of Houdini, comedian Alan Davies travels to various Houdini locations in the UK and U.S. Along the way he talks with: Roger Dreyer, David Copperfield, Ruth Brandon, Ken Silverman, Kevin Connolly, Richard Sherry & Dayle Krall, and 93-year-old Larry Weeks (his last interview). As I wrote in my original review, it offers up a nice time capsule of the Houdini world in 2014.
For those in the U.S., know that you can stream the documentary on Netflix. It has not been released to DVD.
