SYNOPSIS

Ben Stikker is eight years old and so impressed by the disappearing trick of master illusionist Hans Smid that he’s willing to do anything to discover its secret. Therefore, he takes magic trick lessons. His charming but extremely clumsy father Koos becomes so enthused that he joins in and not much later the Stikker & Son Magic Show is born. The problem is that Ben is much more talented than his father, but Koos doesn’t notice this at all. With his overconfidence, Koos makes Ben’s school friend and charming magic show assistant Sylvie disappear. However, he can’t make her appear again.
