CARD MAGIC IN FILMS

Cards and magic, going hand-in-hand ever since the 1400s. From witchcraft debunking and poker trickery to magician performances, card tricks reign popular in the playing card community.

Accessibility and resonance. These are a couple of reasons why an eternal flame is lit underneath playing card magic. The old, the young and those in-between find entertainment in illusions, whether the cards are in their hands or not.

Even blockbuster films formulate storylines where magicians and their tricks take center stage.
