About This Movie

So, Magic (2021) is this debut short by Pullen that really stands out for its whimsical tone and playful atmosphere. It dives into the lives of two magicians, capturing their spectacular tricks, but also the sacrifices they navigate to share their art. The pacing is brisk, fitting its thirteen-minute runtime, but it still manages to convey depth. The practical effects are charmingly executed, which adds a nice tangible feel to the magic. Performances feel genuine, they bring a lightheartedness that balances the underlying themes of ambition and compromise. It’s not your typical fare, but there’s something special about how it portrays the magic—not just as tricks, but as a way of life. Definitely a unique piece in the short film world.
