Magicians: Life in the Impossible: Directed by Christoph Baaden, Marcie Hume. With Jon Armstrong, Brian Gillis, David Minkin, Jan Rouven. “MAGICIANS follows four world-class magicians on stage and off, exploring how and why these characters so passionately dedicate their lives to the craft of illusion. Their journey takes us from the most humbling of road gigs to grand performances on the biggest of stages, from finding love to terrible personal loss; and to the prospect of losing everything for a dream others don’t understand. As we come to understand why each is obsessively chasing his own dream, we’ll discover the unhidden secret: far more fascinating than the magic are the magicians themselves.”

“I was always fascinated by magic as a child because it was something different and it was something people do not understand. I was young and naive then and my perception on magic has changed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMagic is not a world of innocence or astounding confusion but magic is dog eat dog world. Criss Angel got his bite in this show but that is not to say other magicians have done the magic they did in this show.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI can not recall the names of other magicians who did the same trick as the guys in this show. This documentary does not point out the beauty in magic but the malicious hatred and the hopeless ambition of synthetic wealth.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIts a miserable industry and the idea of making friends through mystical talent is an elated cover up for a more sin sinister truth.”
