Magic Fingers

About This Movie

So, 'Magic Fingers' from 1975, it’s a quirky little comedy that leans heavily into the absurd. The magician character, while not the most profound, is quite the sleight of hand artist, maneuvering beautiful women into some rather unusual situations. The tone is playful, maybe even a bit silly at times, which adds to its charm. The pacing? Well, it has that loose, meandering vibe typical of its era, where moments just kind of unfold. Special effects are minimal but have this raw, practical feel. What I find distinctive is how it captures a certain sleazy yet whimsical atmosphere that’s hard to pin down—definitely a curious piece in the realm of 70s cinema.

This film has a somewhat elusive presence in collector circles, with few formats making it to the mainstream market. Most copies are VHS, likely due to its limited release and niche audience. As a result, it has a certain scarcity that intrigues collectors, especially those interested in oddball comedies of the 70s. The demand is modest, but there’s a particular interest among enthusiasts of underground cinema that keeps it relevant.
