Make Believe Screening

Where: Friar's Club

Who Was There: Lance Burton, David Blaine, Kid magicians

Other Details: Whether or not you are a big fan of magic (and really, how could you not be) you are bound to like the new documentary Make Believe, from the guys behind King of Kong . The documentary follows six teenagers as they journey to Las Vegas in order to attend the World Magic Seminar and compete for the title of Teen World Champion, but it is really more about finding themselves during their school aged years. Think underdog rises to the top  meets the coolest card trick ever. It opens at Cinema Village later this week and you should definitely go see it.  Lance Burton was on hand last night to hang with the kids from the film and faugician David Blaine stopped by so the kids could tell him "I love you David Blaine and I believe your magic is real." There were also a lot of card tricks and saying "How did you do that?" [Via]
