Set amidst an enchanting forest ‘Magic Show’ introduces us to George, a flamboyant British magician who shows off his illusions with spectacular flare to a captivated audience. For his big finale he requires a beautiful assistant from the crowd of mesmerized spectators. Scanning the crowd he spies an Italian lady and gestures for her to join him on stage. Unsure of what is required of her the woman is hesitant but George’s boisterous ignorance overcomes her and she takes his hand to join him on stage. Whispering careful instructions to the very confused volunteer, the pompous George brushes off her attempts to communicate that she does not understand; something he will later regret as his big finale culminates in a catastrophe!
