The Golden Age of Magic: 1978's Unforgettable Performances

In 1978, magical performances were at their peak, captivating audiences worldwide with their extraordinary illusions and mesmerizing tricks. This year witnessed a multitude of incredible performances that redefined the boundaries of what was believed possible in the realm of magic. One of the most prominent magicians of the time, David Copperfield, wowed audiences with his innovative and mind-bending illusions. His performances included teleporting objects, making people vanish into thin air, and even seemingly walking through the Great Wall of China. Copperfield's ability to create awe-inspiring moments through his mastery of illusion left spectators in disbelief and wonder. Another notable magician of the era was Doug Henning, who brought a unique blend of magic and spirituality to his performances.

Like the rest of America, Scranton's got an uneasy 'live and let unlive' relationship with the supernatural. But when a vamp puts the bite on an unwilling victim, or some witch casts the wrong kind of spell, that's when they call Markowski. He carries a badge. Also, a crucifix, some wooden stakes, a big vial of holy water, and a 9mm Beretta loaded with silver bullets.
