From 1989-1990, British television network ITV aired two seasons of a show called The Best of Magic. Hosted by Geoffrey Durham, Simon Mayo, and Anthea Turner, the show did exactly what it says on the tin: each episode showed off the best names of magic of the era, including the likes of Max Maven, Juan Tamariz, Eugene Burger, The Pendragons, Lance Burton, and more. A total of 12 60-minute episodes were produced, and you can watch them all thanks to uploads from YouTube user World Greatest Magicians. Spend your lazy Sunday watching the first three episodes in the video above, and if you want to go deeper down the rabbit hole, watch the rest of the show in the videos embedded below.
