Trailer For DEATH BY MAGIC, Which Recreates Magic Tricks That Have Killed Magicians
Here’s a fascinating trailer for a new Netflix series called Death By Magic. The show is coming to the streaming service, and it’s described as “the most extreme magic show ever attempted.”
The show follows British magician Drummond Money-Coutts as he travels around the world recreating the stunts that have cost famous magicians their lives.
From being buried under wet concrete to escaping a collision with a speeding train, DMC must avoid the fate that met those before him.
As a fan of magic in general, I’m sold. This kind of stuff absolutely intrigues me. Don’t worry, I seriously doubt that he’s going to die doing any of these dangerous magic tricks, otherwise Netflix wouldn’t air it!
It still looks like an intense show and we still get to watch him pull off these tricks that have killed other magicians in the past. When talking about Death By Magic, DMC had this to say on Instagram:
“After more than two decades of planning and 12 months of intense production – the worldwide release of DEATH BY MAGIC is now a little over one month away. It is of course a magic show – but beyond that it’s also a tribute to those magicians who gave their lives in the pursuit of greatness. It is a eulogy and a celebration of the dream-chasers who pushed themselves to the absolute limits of what is possible within our craft. It has been the greatest privilege of my life to create this body of work alongside my heroes within the industry, to capture beautiful magic across four continents – and even to have the experience of staring death in the face on multiple occasions. To feel the paralysing rush of absolute fear, but then the fresh awakening of presence that comes each time the mind is able to transcend that fear. To be reminded of how fragile, ephemeral and special this winning lottery ticket of existence truly is. May the magic of the show entertain you, but also the stories and subject matter serve as a reminder of our own individual transience. A reminder that life is short, that we are each but fleeting streaks of light across the night sky of this life, and that each new dawn is a renewed chance to create something extraordinary. “
Death By Magic will be released on Netflix November 30th. Check out the trailer!
