The Magic Trick

Every great magic trick unfolds in three acts. A timeless idea beautifully captured by Michael Caine in the movie: The Prestige.

Inspired by this, and in collaboration with the incredibly talented Mirjam Verhoog, I created a storyboard reimagining the classic “pulling a rabbit out of a hat” illusion.

This passion project is both a tribute to Christopher Priest’s The Prestige and a celebration of my love for cinema, design, and the sense of wonder that makes both possible. Presented as a short animated film, it’s an exploration of storytelling, craft, and the magic at the heart of creativity.
