I would imagine this short-lived 80's detective show would interest Columbo fans, as it was created by Levinson, Link, and Peter S. Fischer, who had written many Columbo episodes. A interesting but failed attempt to bring together magic, crime fighting, and two long time sit com vets - Hal Linden and Harry Morgan. Linden is a dud in the lead role, as famous illusionist turned amateur detective Alexander Blacke (silent "e"). This was a role tailor-made for famed Columbo villain Jack Cassidy, which sadly never came to pass. Morgan is his usual deadpan charming self in the role as Alex's con-man dad Leonard, but then again he's playing with house money. The bottom line was Blacke's Magic was a quirky hodge-podge of clichéd knock-offs, destined for the dustbin of TV history.
