    Nothing is quite as it seems in Bergman's magical, mesmerizing, metaphysical The Magician, a semi-comic, highly gothic period piece that sets faith, art and illusion on a dangerous collision course with science, rationality and reality. Max von Sydow stars as the master conjurer and mesmerist who leads a troupe of illusionists, charlatans and snake-oil salesmen into mid-19th century Stockholm.
