Directed by Andrew O'Connor UK / 2007 / English (ok, British)
Lifelong friends Harry and Karl are the greatest magic double act
in the country. But after a guillotine illusion goes horribly and
spectacularly wrong, their friendship and their careers are
finished. Now, down on his luck and out of cash, Harry sets his
sights on the prize money of the prestigious 'International
Magic Shield' tournament. But to win he will have to compete
against the world's oddest (and saddest) magicians - including
his deadly rival Karl, performing under the guise of ridiculous
psychic 'The Mindmonger'. Can new tricks and a new
assistant help Harry to triumph over his underhanded opponents and
his disastrous past?
