SYNOPSIS:

And Now For My Next Trick

by Michael Elsey

HUEY DAVIS a young street magician does. He performs close-up

magic for Vegas tourists and dreams of showcasing his illusions in

a Las Vegas showroom. Huey sees his dream on the horizon when he

competes in a Master Magician's contest with a one million dollar

prize and an exclusive contract to perform at the Lucky Seven

casino.

Huey dedicates himself to winning the contest but when his

estranged father, EDDIE is released from prison things get

complicated. Eddie, a former master magician, still maintains that

he was framed for embezzlement by his partner, ARNIE LASH, but

Huey refuses to believe him.

TONY and BIG WILLIE, low level thugs, demand a cut of the

embezzlement money they believe Eddie has stashed away. When Eddie

claims there is no money, Tony threatens to make his own magic -

to make Eddie disappear. Huey must win the contest.

Huey battles Vegas' top performers, a biker magician, a computer

wizard, a Playboy Bunny illusionist and a mysterious addition to

the contest, EL DIABLO.

During the competition, Huey realizes that El Diablo, through the

black magic of plastic surgery and liposuction, is his dad's

former partner. Huey begins to suspect that his father's claim to

innocence is true.

Huey and Eddie must confront their illusions about each other as

they create illusions that provide a satisfying twist.
