Reviewed by Brad Eden, Ph.D., Dean of Library Services, Valparaiso UniversityThis film began as a way to record the art of magic and its proponents throughout the world, by short interviews with the magicians themselves. This idea was originally called the Unreal Project. Thirty of the world's most revered and influential magicians and conjurers were interviewed by the director, resulting in this homage to the art of magic. There is also a short film included called The Magic Box (5 minutes), along with eleven minutes of deleted scenes. Anyone interested and fascinated by magic and its best-known performers will enjoy watching this documentary.
