The cases of a stage magician/escape artist who moonlights as an amateur crimefighter.

Anthony Blake is a very compassionate and wealthy magician, who uses his talents as an illusionist and escape artist to help people in trouble. Max Pomeroy, a friend who is a syndicated columnist, describes him as "One of the few individuals in this age of numbness, who can still regard the suffering of a fellow human being as his own." He is motivated to help because he had been falsely imprisoned in South America for espionage.—C. Rohnacher <[email protected]>

Tony Blake is a wealthy Los Angeles based illusionist with his own renowned and successful nightclub act. He was once imprisoned in South America on trumped up charges, he who has the physical scars of the experience, most specifically around his wrists as he was shackled, as a reminder of that time. He escaped, he helping another inmate in a similar situation in the process. That fellow inmate, who died shortly thereafter, left Tony his vast wealth. Among Tony's material possessions includes a jet, on which he is able to travel the world on a whim as needed with the help of his pilot Jerry Anderson. What that prison experience also led to was Tony's realization of the value of life, his which was almost taken away. As such, he has vowed to himself to help his friends in need who are in mortal danger, largely by his money and his skills as an illusionist/magician. Among those helping him in his missions are: his San Francisco based best friend, controversial columnist Max Pomeroy; Max's wheelchair-bound son, Dennis Pomeroy, a crack researcher; and his assistant, Dominick.—Huggo

The late Bill Bixby ("The Incredible Hulk (1978)") stars as master stage magician Tony Blake, a playboy philanthropist who uses his talents as an illusionist to solve crimes and help others in need. After being falsely imprisoned, Blake escapes and uses his unjust imprisonment as a motivation to seek justice for others.—Steve
