"I cannot believe that I hadn't seen this film awhile ago. I simply adore Vincent Price. This thriller starring Vincent Price, Mary Murphy, and Eva Gabor was exciting to watch. Price plays the role of a magician who wants to take his act to the next level. In the way of a promising career are his boss and other rival magicians. After an embarrassing stage show incident, Price decides to take his career in his own hands with surprising results. The story builds to a suspenseful crescendo, and is absolutely satisfying to watch. The acting is good, and the pace of the movie is just right."
