Hocus Focus is the name of a children's television series that aired from 1979 to 1981, on the then-fledgling Nickelodeon network.

Background

Hocus Focus featured an apprentice wizard named Kryspen Quester, who was sent on a mage’s quest by his headmaster, in which he time-traveled from the Middle Ages to modern day. He worked in the film department of a museum along with his shape-shifting pet named "Oulak", and played short films. Kryspen's friends included the absent-minded Professor Rhombus, a young woman named Daisy, and a talking book. The show only lasted one year.
