Janson Goes Behind the Curtain to Explore the Real Secrets of Magic

Janson Media today announced the release of Our Magic: The Real Secrets to worldwide television, digital, VOD, DVD and educational markets. The feature-length documentary film is an honest, passionate and revealing glimpse behind the curtain to reveal the secretive world of magicians as seen through the eyes of some of the most respected thinkers, performers and creators. Our Magic is a documentary about magic, by magicians. The film explores the inner secrets of a much-maligned and misunderstood art, to discover why magic is important, and why wonder is essential.

For eighteen months, magician and director R. Paul Wilson traveled the world to interview thirty of the most influential and revered figures within the conjuring community. From these interviews, Wilson has crafted a love letter to the art of magic that goes beyond the cliches to discuss why magic really matters. Our Magic features interviews with some of the most respected minds in magic, including, Johnny Thompson, Michael Weber, Eric Mead, Richard Kaufman, Asi Wind, Dani Daortiz, Chad Long, Lance Pierce, Christian Engblom, Brad Henderson, Gary Plants, and many more. Here are the designers and builders of magic effects, the scientists hoping to explain how the human brain perceives magic, and researchers studying how conjuring interacts with other mediums. Here is the greater community of magicians -- the enthusiasts, the amateurs and the working pros -- all coming together to reveal that there is much more to magic than the usual cliches.

Our Magic: The Real Secrets is available as 88-minute feature-length documentary, a one-hour (52') television special or a two-hour (2 x 47&'²) series for television. It was produced by Dan and Dave, Jason England and R. Paul Wilson, and directed by Jason England.
