Magic in the Moonlight

In 1928, an illusionist, Wei Ling Soo, performs in front of a crowd in Berlin with his world-class magic act. Soo is actually a British man named Stanley (Colin Firth), who wears a disguise in his act. In his dressing-room, he is greeted by old friend and fellow illusionist Howard Burkan (Simon McBurney). Howard enlists Stanley to go with him to the Côte d'Azur, where a rich American family, the Catledges, has apparently been taken in by a clairvoyant, Sophie (Emma Stone); the son of the family, Brice (Hamish Linklater), is smitten with her. Howard said he has been unable to uncover the secrets behind Sophie's tricks, and is tempted to believe she really has supernatural powers. He asks Stanley, who has debunked many charlatan mystics, to help him prove she is a fraud.
