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.

This is a good documentary about breaking into the magic business, and the ups and downs therein. Unless you are really into magic, though, these are probably not people you have heard of. They may be "world class", but they are not world famous.

There is an interesting moment where one magician rips off another magician's trick. Like, almost exactly. I think there is a great legal story in there somewhere that was missed.
