Stealing Magic

Someone is stealing the secrets behind magicians' greatest tricks and selling them on illicit websites. Magician Andi Gladwin leads an unlikely team of illusionists on an international caper to track down the culprits.

Directed by Matthew Testa and featuring Penn & Teller. After a sold-out premiere at Tribeca, Rolling Stone called it “one of the best films of this year's Tribeca Film Festival,” likening it to “The Bourne Identity as directed by Penn and Teller.”

From the press

"Shuffled" is one of the best close-up magic shows I have ever witnessed. The air was filled with gasps of amazement and eruptions of laughter as Gladwin seamlessly blended rehearsed magic tricks with spontaneous tricks that he had never performed before... A show that not only held attention but left the audience in sheer shock and awe.

— Aaron Hanania, Suburban Chicagoland

Gladwin is more than just a magician, he is a great story-teller.

— Frank Meccia, Around the Town Chicago

To see it all come together onstage is to witness a performer who understands who he is, and how to share that with an audience.

— Genii Magazine

Renowned British magician Andi Gladwin... encourages audience members to bring their own decks of cards for his sleight-of-hand mastery... providing a close-up view and a special interactive experience.

— Stephi Wild, Broadway World
