In Corky she sees the chance for a loving relationship and accepts an offer to run away with him. After they make love Corky confides to Fats that he may leave show business altogether.

Now under Fats control Corky is manipulated into a series of violent and unexpected confrontations.Based on the best selling novel by William Goldman and directed by Sir Richard Attenborough (A BRIDGE TOO FAR GANDHI) MAGIC s stellar performances and shocking conclusion make for gripping suspense from beginning to end.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR UPC: 030306769899 Manufacturer No: DVD7698

This was before Hannibal embarked on a reign of terror, rife with Vintners Quarterly chatter and soap opera stare-downs. Back when he was a shy lad on the stage, slathering his porcine frame with ectoplasm and whipped butter. He couldn't get a date unless he was standing under a palm tree and one hit him on the head.
Could he?
Of course he could. The 1970s were a very dull decade: shoehorns, wood pannelling, corduroy sleeves and teddy bear-skinned chairs that blocked the ... Read More

I was impressed with Sir Anthony Hopkins in this psycho thriller.I liked the chemistry between him and Ann Margret's character as an ex-classmate that he was shy about and his reconciliation of a relationship that never happened due to his painful shyness he exhibits toward her character in the movie. I felt sad for him not to mention the terrible consequences that results out his desperation of not dealing with his mental problems he did not want to resolve. Anyhow,it is a great suspense thriller and ... Read More

Viewing "Magic" is when I first became aware of Anthony Hopkins as a brilliant actor. This movie coincided somewhat with his starring role in the highly praised QBVII, that was being aired on TV. I made a mental note to "watch this actor." I saw "Magic" at the Capital Plaza Cinema in Austin, Texas in the Seventies. One of the things I remember about it most, besides, spooky Fats, the dummy, was the haunting and eerie cords played on a "squeeze box" over and over throughout the movie, just two chords. ...

For fans of Anthony Hopkins' intensity and versatility as an actor, this late-seventies thriller is a shining obscurity. Hopkins plays troubled loner Corky, his years of preparation as a slight-of-hand magician thrust back in his face by a drunk and distracted debut audience, who then redirects his efforts into a ventriloquism act with an engagingly demented dummy-sidekick, Fats. The resulting sudden thrust into national fame causes a very real split within Corky, who has given away far too much of his ... Read More
