Overview
A magician in a carnival—who actually can read minds and levitate people and objects—works with a superintelligent chimp named Alex, who can also talk. The magician and the chimp soon become the stars of the carnival, drawing in big crowds. However, the wild-animal trainer, who has been displaced by the team as the carnival’s top act, decides to kidnap Alex and sell him to a medical laboratory for experimentation, thereby getting rid of his competition.

Viewing Notes
“Strange” is the only way to describe today’s viewing. Beginning with Al Adamson’s Carnival Magic (1982). Features a creepy car-driving, talking chimp put in harm’s way by an evil doctor. It’s up to Markov (Don Stewart) to rally the carnies and save Alex the chimp. Bizarre and fascinating. Thank you, TCM Underground, for bringing this one to us.
