About A Magician's Misfortunes
In Europe in the middle of the 20th century, the close-up magician Sandor is enjoying great popularity in high society. One day when he hears a noblewoman in the audience complain that her beloved dog is missing, he performs magic that gives her a hint of the dog's whereabouts. Shortly afterward, the dog is discovered exactly where he hinted. Sandor is now earning a reputation as a magician gifted with clairvoyant powers, much to the delight of his friends Zsigmond, an inventor, and Gizella, a fortune teller, who work as his assistants. Thinking they can profit from Sandor's clairvoyance, they accept all requests pouring in to the magician.
Directed by Masatsuka Haruhiko, A Magician's Misfortunes leans on a strong ensemble — Sea Towaki, Hoshizora Misaki, Takashou Mizuki — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2025.
