Has anyone seen this movie? It's by Clive Barker who made the original Hellraiser movies.
One of main themes is a magician who can do real magic, but disguises it as tricks/illusion. I think there is some interesting presentation ideas that could be used from this movie. |

Yes .... LORD of Illusions. Sorry I typed that post very late at night.
There are many themes in the movie, the occult, cults, illusions and reality even a gay subtext. You have to see the directors cut as it has I think around half an hour of footage added. Including some great slight of hand in one of beginning scenes which was cut from the theatrical release. Clive Barker said at around 2 hours the directors cut represents his true vision. |

If memory serves, it was a great movie, but that was a few years ago. I have not seen the director's cut, I will have to check that out.

I have the book the movie was made from which I have yet to read. Haven't seen the movie. Need to do both. If anyone has, would you recommend reading the book or watching the movie first?

It's one book in a series of books called the books of blood. I think it's book 6.
