Magic Camp (2012)
Thoroughly Engaging Film
This charming documentary exposes one to the inside world of budding magicians by going behind the scenes of a Magic Camp. Some of the young magicians are so adept and quirky that you'd swear they were selected by central casting, rather than via meticulous and skillful editing of an enormous amount of film. From sleight-of-hand tricks to more elaborate deceptions, you'll even pick up some hints about the carefully kept secrets of magicians -- though not enough to duplicate their trickery. And all of this is set against a backdrop of adolescent angst and a group of norm-defying young people who lead humdrum lives when they're not on stage.
Go see it and you'll never look at another magician without recalling the movie. You'll wish you could hire some of these engaging young people for your next event that calls for entertainment.
