About
['The Magician'] was created in an atmosphere of high spirits despite the black components in the tale we were spinning. Most certainly this had to do with the feeling of camaraderie in our troupe of jesters, for such we were during our Malmö period. - Ingmar Bergman
A devious and captivating puzzle box, The Magician is a battle of wits between the titular magician Albert Vogler (Max von Sydow) and Dr Vergerus (Gunnar Björnstrand), the earnest medical expert tasked with debunking Vogler's magic act.
