Customer Reviews

MAGICAL5 This was a very entertaining game. You are a famous master of illusions, the most successful stage magician in the world. But you have been forced to go into retirement because someone has been sabotaging your best illusions and tricks. You suspect it is a rival magician, but you're not sure exactly who it is. In order to trap the saboteur, you send out invitations to ten other famous magicians to come to your castle where you are now living in seclusion. You tell them that you will give all the secrets of your best illusions and tricks to the magician who is most worthy. So each of them has to put on a magic show in your castle in order to prove themselves. This is really just a ruse to allow you to examine each of their acts, learn their secrets, and determine which one had the most motive and opportunity to eliminate you as a rival. The visuals are beautiful, very detailed. One by one you explore each of the various magician's chambers..., from their bedrooms, to their bathrooms, and finally to their individual stages in the castle where they have set up their props to perfom their own unique magic shows. The stage shows are the most fun, where you click on the various magic props to make the magic show happen, and it's actually a very good representation of a real magic act..., and then after each magic show you get to see how the tricks were performed, revealed in The Conjurer's notebook. Each magician has a different trademark show that they put on. From the orient, to the middle-east, to a magic pirate show and an electricity-wizard.., and more... each magician's stage reflects thier special brand of magic, and the special effects are wonderful as you click on the props to make the acts progress. Slowly you begin to piece together clues from the various magic acts to figure out who the most likely suspect is. This was not a very difficult game. The hidden obects were fairly easy to spot and the magic shows were not difficult to operate. The game is entertaining because it is visually attractive and simply very fun to manipulate the magic. After you eliminate each magician as a suspect, you face a puzzle-door that you have to unlock in order to advance to the next magician. It's a fairly good puzzle, but there is a button to allow you to "skip" that puzzle if it's too hard for you to figure out. I downloaded this game, and it worked very well on my Windows XP computer. It should have no problem working on any Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 computer. - Mike Silverman
