DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Christopher Nolan United Kingdom

His film 'The Prestige' is built entirely around the structure of a magic trick, exploring obsession and the cost of deception through competing illusionists.

 David Fincher United States

His meticulous control of visual storytelling and unreliable narratives in films like 'Gone Girl' and 'Se7en' create the psychological experience of being fooled like a magic trick.
