The sad lives of professional magicians

Rather depressing but realistic look at the hardships and loneliness of performing as a professional magician made even more sad by recent revelations about Daryl Easton (not featured in the movie) who just committed suicide at the Magic Castle before a performance.

3 out of the 4 magicians show well known performers eeking out a living, with no partners except for dogs. The one performer who seems to be a success and at the end of the film gets a gig at a major Las Vegas showroom, was arrested after filming ended and is now in jail facing 30 years for child pornography.

A documentary about what?

I get that when you are a nobody you get first row access to nobodies. And has beens. So it's fine. But what does this waste of time wants to say? That life as a magician is better than janitor? At about half time I have lost interest in decrypting this.

The world of magic is not so magical

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.

Magic 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.

I 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.

Its a miserable industry and the idea of making friends through mystical talent is an elated cover up for a more sin sinister truth.

A Dull Focus On Hocus Pocus

Because this documentary was showcasing magicians (Wow!!), I was all prepared to be completely blown away by what it had to reveal to me.

But, Hey! - On the contrary, I found that "Life In The Impossible" pretty much made being a magician look about as interesting as flipping burgers at McDonald's.

I'm not kidding here.

(IMO) These guys who were showcased in this 90-minute presentation completely lacked the necessary charisma needed to be dynamic showmen. I mean, I certainly expected a whole lot more from these guys than what they were capable of delivering here.

the fake reviews put me off this

fake reviews are easy to spot and i suggest that all should check if they find ratings and reviews a litel suspicious. just click on the name of the reviewer and see if their profile was created at the same time as they reviewed, and they probably also just reviewed the film in question and no other. even if a film was brilliant the fake reviews would make me avoid it so they're really counter productive. happy hunting.. ! i notice i have to write more in order to have this published, the minimum reivew length being 10 lines. so i'll take this opportunity to recommend a really good flick that's not so well known, the fall, from 2006, enjoy.. !
