| "The Magic Door" was an educational TV show in the early 70's in Israel which aimed to | ||
| teach kids how to be safe in the street. The show used magic and science-fiction to convey | ||
| its message, demonstrated by a big eye with a screen inside it that showed the outside | ||
| world in real time. This 'eye' was located at a magician's store. When a dangerous | ||
| situation occurred, the magician's store went haywire and the magician used a magic wheel | ||
| to pan over the streets to find the location of the danger. Once located, the magician | ||
| used a magic bell to make the person in danger appear in the store instantly. |
||
| 30 years later, the concept of live surveillance cameras has become a common phenomenon, | ||
| as well as the ability to locate people using global positioning. |
||
| "Magic Door 2.0" examines the evolution of these concepts and the shift from science | ||
| fiction into reality. | ||
