Catherine Leoni (Tane McClure) is a connoisseur of the illusionary arts. She learned her craft from her grandfather, Henry Santorini (Harrison Young), a master magician with a disgraced past. Now in search of the fine line between reality and magic, she travels to Death Valley with her gangster husband Robert (Martin Kove) to meet Taylor Black (Bruce Abbott), a mysterious magician who is about to replicate Santorini’s ruinous past. Adding to the mystery is Wally (Wade Wallace), who claims he can smell ectoplasm, and Robert’s hit man Bongo (Robert Z’Dar). Under Black’s power, Catherine is forced to make a choice…find her own power or succumb to the TRANCE and the seduction of magic. This was the Best Fantasy Feature winner at the New York International Independent Film Festival yet remains obscure.
