Hello everybody!
Just out of curiousity, and please know I did use the search button first, I am going to blockbuster to rent movies tonight, I'm looking for a good "psychic" themed movie for inspiration and ideas, and I can't think of any, and I havent found any on search, I'm wondering if anyone has any favorites they would like to recommend? For example, my blindfold routine is "modelled" in some ways to Christopher Walken's performance in Dead Zone, Any other classics with some good ideas for presentation or effects? |

Leap of Faith (with Steve Martin) - Not exactly a "psychic" themed movie, but you could learn a thing or two. Plus it's just a fun movie.

I believe the movie " Magic" with Anthony Hopkins was brought up in discussion a while back...
I enjoyed it...

Thanks everyone for your quick replys, I can stop off on the way home from work thankfully, I think they have something like 10 movies for 10 days for 10 bucks. I agree totally, Magic with Anthony Hopkins was really good I caught it the other night on t.v.
-gift -houdini (1953) & newer one -invincible sounds incredible, I didn't know there was a Hanussen movie! -leap of faith, I love Steve Martin! -nightmare alley -phenomenon (1996) -powder (1995) -Skeleton Key -suspect zero (2004)(ill give it a chance, but I trust your word!) Am I missing any? Thanks for all the good ideas! |

If you want to see a recent film based on the best known mentalist alive today, the Amazing Kreskin, get "The Great Buck Howard," starring John Malcovich as Buck Howard (i.e., Kreskin). While not exactly biographical it is based on him.

What was the movie called something like "Country for old men"? something like that. There is a cool scene in the gas station with the flipping of the coin. I love that scene.
