| Filmcritic.comJules BrennerThey may not possess an equal amount of talent on a magician's stage, but their commitment to their goal is no illusion. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA charming documentary about the finalists in the Teenage Magician Contest at the annual World Magic Seminar in Las Vegas. |
