Magic (1978)

Released November 8th in the US.

Filmed in California and New York.

The story: Corky wants to be a famous magician and has been learning from a long , retired famous magician.

In two years' time, he finds himself at the top with a unique act that includes magic and ventriloquism.

Corky's manager has faith in him, even though Corky will not sign a contract.

When his manager brings in a big wig from NBC to see the show, he wants to do a TV special with him and his dummy.

There is one catch though.

Corky's manager wants him to get a medical evaluation...

Afraid of what will become apparent, Corky takes off so no one can find him.

He heads for the town he grew up in, looking for his high school crush, who he is still in love with.

Corky finds what he is looking for and unexpectedly hits it off with his old crush.

Unfortunately, she is married, although unhappily.

This all gives Corky hope but first, he must get rid of the obstacles that are in his way and he will not do it without the constant persuasion of his boisterous sidekick dummy.
