The Magician is a 1926 horror film directed by Rex Ingram about a magician's efforts to acquire the blood of a virgin for his experiments to create life.

It was adapted by Ingram from the novel The Magician by W. Somerset Maugham. The film is largely forgotten today, and of interest mostly to fans of obscure films or early horror.

It includes a brief appearance by a young Michael Powell in a comedic role.

The Magician is an Australian film released in 2005, directed by Scott Ryan. It is a mockumentary following the escapades of a Melbourne underworld hitman. The film was originally shot over 10 days with a budget of AU$3,000. Ryan edited a half-hour version of the film for screening at the St. Kilda Film Festival, where it was seen by stuntman and film producer Nash Edgerton (brother of Joel Edgerton), who took the project under his wing. After receiving AU$330,000 in government grants, the film was re-released in 2005.

Anthony Blake is a very compassionate and wealthy magician, who uses his talents as an illusionist and escape artist to help people in trouble. Max Pomeroy, a friend who is a syndicated columnist, describes him as "One of the few individuals in this age of numbness, who can still regard the suffering of a fellow human being as his own." He is motivated to help because he had been falsely imprisoned in South America for espionage. Written by C. Rohnacher

The scene opens on a theatrical stage. The magician enters from the wings, and making a bow to the audience, removes his coat and hat and they disappear mysteriously in the air. He then takes a white handkerchief from his pocket, holds it over his knees, and his long trousers disappear, and behold! he is clad in knickerbockers. He next makes a pass with a magic wand and a table suddenly appears before the audience, on which is a large pile of tissue paper. The magician takes up the paper and shakes it a few times and three live geese fly out upon the floor. This is a highly pleasing and mystifying subject. Written by Edison Films (1901)

Sometimes losing something, doesn't always mean that it's gone

London, the early 80s. David Katz, an American salesman with a clouded and perhaps shady past, is invited by a taxi driver to buy counterfeit notes. Katz goes to the police immediately and they set up a sting. However, Katz won't leave things to the police, but constantly adds new elements such as demanding millions of pounds of notes in one buy. Both Katz and the detective constable assigned to the case want to get to the leader of the counterfeiters and to whoever made these plates, "the magician." So too does the IRA, which has its own man on the hunt. What's Katz's game, and will it bring down the whole operation, plus cost him his marriage and maybe his life? Written by

All of the actors are amateurs apart from the filmmaker Max whom we never see on camera.
