Gathering The Magic

Synopsis:
Gathering the Magic is a 90 minute exploration of one magicians journey: A timeless tale of boy meets magic kit/boy becomes magician, packed with pitfalls, triumph and adventure. Descended from a genuine Santeria, Nelson Lugo has evolved his singular magical style for more than 15 years, showcasing classic prestidigitation with a wink and a nod to the nerd culture that has shaped him. Gathering the Magic is in its essence a love story which asks if there can be truth in deception, for its not always so important HOW a trick is done, but WHY.
