The only thing darker than illusionist Ronny Roman's past is the "mystical power" he believes he possesses.
Never having recovered from the shock of finding his assistant/girlfriend Charlotte in a compromising position with another magician, his career now consists of childrens' birthday parties and his volunteer job serving alcohol to terminal patients at a Hospice.
But when he's offered one more chance at the escape of a lifetime, he is desperate to carry out the trick - but first he has to find a replacement for the assistant that broke his heart ...

Definately would love to see you! How are things going with the film? Jim(gameface director) & I shot a short film that we plan to hit some festivals with...any in NZ that we should know about? Lots of love! thanks for checkin in. xo
Greetings The Last Magic Show! I hope life is treating you fantastic! When you have a chance, check out the "life's a joke" trailer. I think you'll get a kick out of it. All the best, Chris Mitchell "life's a joke"
I really enjoyed the film last night. Ronny Roman is quite a character. He reminds of Jack Sparrow acting like Napoleon Dynamite acting like a magician, but with a twist.
Oh, and I really dug the magic fight with the takeaway guy. Funny as.
Hey, Congrats on your win at the screen awards! I worked with Duncan on the Devil Dared me to, and was real stoked for you guys!
Our film "Down by the Riverside" is out on DVD in video stores this November. May be a couple of one off screenings before then. I'll keep you posted. :)
I've been on a non-stop jag of work as of late that has prevented me from getting to the post and checking my mailbox, but on Tuesday I will - judging from the phone call from the postal worker that I had some things to pickup - be retrieving several packages I am looking forward to.
I very much hope one of them has a NZ postmark. Many of my friends want to see TLMS and I need to get a copy to Italy ASAP, too, so my fingers are crossed!
