In this game you play a magician, trying to perform magic tricks and survive the evening.

How it begins

The Magic Show begins with you in the dressing room of a theatre, preparing for the night's entertainment. Your act consists of the standard magician act such as escaping from a box, pulling a rabbit out of the hat and the magic hoops etc. As soon as the performance is finished you learn that your assistant has been kidnapped, and the kidnappers demand that you break into a museum to steal a precious artifact. To do this, you need the magic skills that you learned while performing onstage.
