My kids had never heard of MacGyver until a few weeks ago.

Now, after having seen all of the tricks he can do, they think he might be a wizard. That's a reasonable thought coming from kids who are familiar with Harry Potter.

We had some fun recreating the opening of the classic show.

Hope you enjoy it!

The video was shot over several days. Thanks to our fine West Michigan winter, we were easily able to substitute snow for sand in a couple of scenes. It was just as powdery, but a little colder.

I think you'll notice a few more substitutions along the way.

Some cameos to watch for: Darth Vader, Woody from Toy Story, Luke Skywalker, My Little Pony and duct tape.

If you want to watch the remake simultaneously with the original, it works best if you start the new version just before the original.

Whatever you do, never leave home without duct tape and a paper clip.
