The Mad Magician is a 1954 American horror film in 3D, directed by John Brahm starring Vincent Price, Mary Murphy and Eva Gabor.

It was produced and distributed by Columbia Pictures, with a release in 3-D to build on the craze started by films such as House of Wax (1953), which also starred Price.

Businessman Ross Ormond and his lawyer stop the show and serve Gallico a cease and desist order against the performance of the buzz-saw trick.

The bag is mistakenly taken by Gallico's assistant Karen Lee when she drops by to meet up with her boyfriend, police detective Lt. Alan Bruce.

Sindelar stated that the film felt cobbled together, and lacked the mood and ambiance of its predecessor, House of Wax.

[2] TV Guide gave the film 2/5 stars, calling it "vastly inferior 3-D rip-off of Price's surprisingly successful 3-D shocker HOUSE OF WAX".

[3] Jay Seaver from eFilmCritic awarded the film an average rating of 3/5 stars, calling its scenario "straight-facedly silly", but stated that it was still entertaining even though it was inferior to its predecessor.
