Blast From The Past MOVIE MAGIC TV Specials

TVVideos by

The Discovery Channel aired a cool documentary series called Movie Magic between 1994-1997. The show took a look inside how special effects were created, sometimes with limited means. The 70 episode show never made it to VHS or DVD in it's entirety.

I remember watching a few of these episodes when I was younger and being enthralled with what went on behind the scenes. It would be great to see the series on DVD/Blu-ray, but I don't think Discovery has been  able to get the rights the behind the scenes footage.
