Orson Welles' Magic Show
27 mins
Welles had a lifelong interest in magic, having been taught his first magic tricks by Harry Houdini in the 1920s, when Welles was still a boy. In this unfinished television special, filmed between 1976 and 1985, Welles performs various magic tricks for the camera, promising that no trick photography is used.
