Being a fan of magic/magicians since childhood this series was loads of fun.
I recently discovered this on DVD from an online rental.
The episodes (some are 23 min and others 45 min) on the DVD are:
The Father of Modern Magic. Houdini. The Herrmanns. The Greats of Modern Magic. Weird Magic. Death by Magic
If you're interested in magic this is a must.
TONS of magicians are covered and interviews.
Even if you already know everything that's discussed, watching these magicians at work is jaw-dropping.
