Magicians

Magicians (2007) is a British comedy directed by Andrew O'Connor that you can watch online on iFILM. Robert Webb and David Mitchell — the duo behind Peep Show — play rival stage magicians whose partnership collapsed mid-performance: a guillotine trick at a major competition went badly wrong and ended their act, their friendship, and any chance at the prize, all at once.

Years later, both are broke, bitter, and somehow entered in the same tournament. Working together is the one thing neither man will consider — which is also the only route to winning. Sarah Hadland and Miranda Hart get the sharpest lines while the leads dedicate themselves entirely to each other's destruction.

A lean 90-minute comedy built on the specific chemistry of two performers who clearly know how to drive each other mad. Watch Magicians (2007) online on iFILM.
