12/17/2013 Okay, so this film is NOT going to win an Oscar for Best Picture. But it is alot of fun. I found The characters are believable, and I enjoyed seeing actual magic that was performed without special effects.Some may think it mundane. In a world that has come to view Criss Angel as the epitome of "magic," perhaps a small story about folks who don't levitate seems too tame. Maybe the writers poke a little too much fun at the professional magician. Yet, if you cannot laugh at yourself, then you lead a sad life. This film may not be everyone's "cup of tea." But, then again, neither is magic. However, if you enjoy magic, magicians, or just want to have some fun, please go see it! See more 08/31/2013 I saw this movie on the west coast and truly enjoyed it. I'm a fan of magic and the independent film concept. Having seen many iffy independent films I was completely surprised by how well this worked. The acting was of a very high standard, the story was excellent, it explored the "magic underground" of LA which was interesting. It was funny and clever magic was weaved throughout. Considering what must have been a very modest budget this was everything a movie could be. Well done and worthy of your CD collection. See more 05/02/2013 I wanted to like this so much,.. but alas, I could not. The story line is okay but Joe Tyler is just too goofy to take seriously and the magic performed is incredibly pedestrian. I can not believe how many reviews actually cite the magic and that they enjoyed the tricks. Many of the tricks are literally tricks I used to perform at kids birthday par tie - back in the 70;s!. I like the premise but in the end it fails to deliver an engaging, grownup film. One bright light though, Valerie Dillman is charming and a joy to watch. See more 04/22/2013 Charming and funny! Plus, the magic is pretty cool! See more 02/18/2013 Tenía bastantes ganas de ver esta cinta, sin embargo creo que me decepcionó, el desarrollo me parece lento, algo torpe y tedioso, su mediana duración se me hace muy larga gracias a este problema con el desarrollo, las actuaciones me parecieron buenas sin ser una maravilla, y el guión tiene sus momentos. Desperate Acts of Magic no es una cinta que me haya enloquecido, me aburrió, y creo que puede ser una de las candidatas a ser olvidada. See more Read all reviews
