About Desperate Acts of Magic
A magician competes in an international magic competition where he goes head to head with a female street magician he has fallen in love with. This film shows great magic performed by a cast of professional magicians. Like a great musical where the songs and the story are seamlessly intertwined, Desperate Acts of Magic does the same, mixing story and magic as one.
Directed by Joe Tyler Gold, Tammy Caplan, Desperate Acts of Magic leans on a strong ensemble — Joe Tyler Gold, Valerie Dillman, Jonathan Levit — 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 comedy titles of 2013.
