- Episode Description
- This episode provides a look at Sorcery and magic from the early days of Egyptian priests and African witch doctors, through the golden era of magic as exemplified by such artist as Howard Thurston, Harry Keller, and Harry Houdini, up to contemporary magic on both a professional and amateur level. Bob Faulkner, who portrays Merlin the Magician in the nationally-syndicated childrens series produced by WOUB-TV in Athens, Ohio, is host. The episode includes the famous Asrah or floating-lady illusion, a variety of card and sleight-of-hand tricks using easily found household objects, and a discussion of the development of magic and sorcery.

- Series Description
- Whats New is a childrens series that ran from 1961-1973. The early seasons typically consist of multiple segments, each from an ongoing series on a specific topic. Each segment was produced by a separate educational broadcasting station, and the linkage between the segments was produced by WHYY and hosted by Al Binford. In episodes from later seasons the format varies more, with many episodes focusing on one story or topic throughout the entire 30 minutes. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
