Synopsis
The teenagers at Tannen's Magic Camp share two things: the love of a hobby that earns them about as much social cachet as a passion for taxidermy, and a place where they can come together each year to practice, learn, and perform together. Founded in 1925, just one year after Harry Houdini's death, Tannen's Magic is today the most prestigious and well-known magic institution in the world, and has been running its unique camp since the 1970s. MAGIC CAMP follows several campers from diverse backgrounds as they take their talents to the next level at Tannen's Magic Camp. The tension builds leading up to the all-important camp competition. In the end, these teens may forget how to properly keep doves or how to stuff their jackets with flash paper, but they will always remember their time at magic camp, and how they dared to stand onstage and hide everything from their audience except for who they are.
