El acto en cuestión

Feature film, 1993, 114 min.

Feature film by Agresti tells the story of the rise and fall of the Argentine conjurer Miguel Quiroga. From an insignificant book collector, he becomes a world-famous conjurer with his vanishing act, with which he can make literally anything disappear. He found the formula in an obscure book about magic which he stole from a second-hand bookshop. When he gets a contract to work for a circus, he burns the book in a fit of paranoia. The years pass and the vanishing act provides him wealth. But he remains afraid that there may still be a copy of his book in circulation and that competition may be looming. So he lives in great luxury but with a constant fear.
