Hi! I was wondering if any of you could help me. I saw a movie back in the '80s. It centered around a young boy whose father had died performing magic. (I think.) The boy knew magic as well (escapes, especially.)
Anyhoo, somehow he got involved with some bad people and used his "skills" to help the police catch them. (Again, I think.) I only remember two scenes: 1) he was being chased by one of the "bad guys" and locked himself in a mailbox (the old big blue kind on city streets) to avoid being killed, and 2) he had a vision of "levitating" his deceased father in order to escape from prison. (I think.) I'm sorry the details are so fuzzy. I was hoping someone might know the title of that movie. Please let me know if you do, and thanks anyway if you can't! |

That's it!
Thank you very much! Wow! You do not know how much that was driving me crazy trying to remember the name of that movie! Thanks again! This movie was just one of many factors that piqued my interest in magic. I hope I can get a copy of it one day. Anyway, thanks again! |
