Magic Camp (film)

As a young boy, Andy Duckerman was a camp legend at the Institute of Magic, a mountain retreat that hosts aspiring young magicians each summer. Now, at 35, he’s struggling to make ends meet as a professional illusionist. But when the Institute invites him to return as a counselor, Andy finds himself in charge of the greenest and most awkward wannabe magicians and having to deal with his former partner (and now fellow counselor), Kristina Darkwood. As Andy prepares his team of ragtag artists to compete in the annual Top Hat magic contest, they in turn inspire him to nurture each of their unique talents and rediscover his love of magic.
