Many magic tricks contain little or no harm for those performing them -- a deck of cards isn't very dangerous -- but others not only pose a threat to the performers, but have actually proved to be deadly in the past. It's the latter group of tricks that are featured on this show starring Drummond Money-Coutts. In this series, the British magician travels to locations around the world to attempt feats that have proved fatal to other magicians. Among the tricks he attempts are trying to escape from a car before it floods with water and attempting to get out of a custom-built coffin.

DMC, who sounds like chef Gordon Ramsay without the potty mouth, is calm until a stunt calls for him to panic. He does know how to milk a moment. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 12/12/2018

02/05/2021 Very interesting, DMC really captures your attention, fear, all your emotions in his death defying stunts. See more 05/17/2019 Absolutely entertaining. I don't need to know if it's real or not, magic is all about illusions and letting it dazzle you. If you want to know the trick over being swallowed by the magic you already lost your inner child. See more 12/03/2018 Death by boredom. Its been done. The magician has no connection to the audience. Very very boring and predictable. See more Read all reviews
