    7/10

    A salesman jumps into a pot of suspected IRA counterfeit money in the hopes of a big score.

    The Magician is a little gem of a movie. Jay Acovone, plays a man who seems to have slipped out of the real estate office of Glengarry Glen Ross. He can't help himself, he loves the deal. And the riskier the better. Suspected IRA counterfeit bills might just fulfill his need. Its a interesting study of a man who has to live on the edge. The film also keeps the suspense up throughout. Just who is The Magician? Definitely a movie worth watching.
