Magic Boy is a beautiful youth romance set in Mongkok where a girl falls in love with two amateur magicians. One is into stage magic. The other is into street magic. Over 30 genuine magic tricks are performed in this first full length feature in Hong Kong to use amateur magicians as the subject matter. Anjo Leung, in his film debut, is a real student of magic while director Adam Wong continues his sensitive and poetic expression of the frailties of youth, this time using magic tricks as an allegory of the illusory nature of love.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative by relying on the contrast between street and stage magic, using them as an allegory for different facets of young love. Director Adam Wong explores the frailties of youth through genuine magic tricks, which become organic extensions of the characters' emotions.

What lingers after the final trick is a gentle, poetic reflection on first love and its beautiful deceptions. The magic feels authentic, serving a story that is tender and wistful. — MovieFinder Editorial
