Death by Magic

Description: 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.

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.
