The Magician's Nephew not as powerful a sorcerer as she is (or was). This recalls the style of Edith Nesbit's children's books. Lewis was fond of these books, which he read in childhood, a number were set in the same period and "The Magician's Nephew" has some apparent references or homages to them. "The Magician's Nephew" was originally published as the sixth book in the Narnia Chronicles. Most reprintings of the novels until the 1980s also reflected the order of original publication. In 1980 HarperCollins published the series ordered by the chronology of the events in the novels. This meant "The Magician's Nephew"
The Magician (U.S. TV series) an amateur magician in 1974 who aspires to appear on Bill Bixby's "The Magician"; however, owing to his partial amnesia, Dr. Beckett, at first, can only recall Bixby's connection with "The Incredible Hulk," which had not been made at that time. "The Incredible Hulk" series featured an episode that paid homage to both "The Magician" and Bixby's earlier series, "My Favorite Martian". In "The Incredible Hulk's" "My Favorite Magician" episode, Bixby's character became the temporary apprentice to a stage magician played by Bixby's "Martian" co-star, Ray Walston. Mark Wilson was on hand again as the episode's "magic consultant" as well.
