Thank you Rory for sharing this with the world, may we never forget the great Thurston. He and the other Masters, like Blackstone, Houdini, Dante, and so many others, set the stage for the rest of us today and should always be held as an example to what magicians/illusionists are truly suppose to be and how powerful a performer we can be if we follow their teachings. May your world always be filled with Magic and Wonder....

Thanks for the question... This music was not used in Thurston's show. It was just used to create a "feel" for the video.

What a rare treat. Although they may not appear so, even in the slightest, many of today's acts show some influence by Thurston and other Greats of Magic. Thanks for sharing that footage!

Is that the music that Thurston used in his show??
