The Magician
DIRECTOR
Ingmar Bergman
SCRIPT
Ingmar Bergman
A traveling troupe, led by Dr.Vogel a hypnotist and magician, travel through the night to 19th Century Stockholm. When 'Vogler's Magnetic Health Theater' comes to town, there's bound to be a spectacle. Reading reports of a variety of supernatural disturbances at Vogler's prior performances abroad, the leading townspeople (including the police chief and medical examiner) request that their troupe provide them a sample of their act, before allowing them public audiences. The scientific-minded disbelievers try to expose them as charlatans, but Vogler and his crew prove too clever for them.
