To cope with the pressures of growing up, magic-obsessed teenagers congregate at the one place where they can be themselves: Tannen’s Magic Camp, the most prestigious magic institution in the world.
Here, they strive to prove their worth on the same stage where superstar magicians David Blaine, Criss Angel, and David Copperfield once performed. For these kids, their chosen art form is more than sleight of hand and tricks of the trade; it’s about finding the magic inside.
