THE MAGICIAN

In Bergman’s funny, frightening, and underseen THE MAGICIAN, Max von Sydow stars as Dr. Vogler, a traveling illusionist and leader of “Vogler’s Magnetic Health Theater” troupe. Vogler’s skill and patience are put to the test when, upon arriving in Stockholm, the townspeople doubt his abilities. Following the film, stick around for a bit of abracadabra and magical demystification from Luis Carreon, magician and founding member of the Chicago Magic Lounge.
