The Mad Magician

In 19th century late American entertainment, magician Don Gallico's stardom aspirations are cut short when capricious manager Ross Ormond shuts down his act, snatching away a brilliant buzz saw effect meant for an established star. With the humiliation of having already lost his wife to Ormond's corrupting influence, Gallico decides it's time to take matters into his own hands, embarking on a deadly game of cat and mouse with his former employer and the law. As Gallico navigates the treacherous world of magic and deception, he must confront the dark side of ambition and the true cost of success.
