Carter Beats the Devil (2001)
America in the 1920s was a nation obsessed with
magic. Not just the kind performed in theaters and on stages across the
country, but the magic of technology, science, and prosperity. Enter
Charles Carter—a.k.a. Carter the Great—a young master performer whose
skill as an illusionist exceeds even that of the great Houdini.
Fueled by a passion for magic that grew out of desperation and
loneliness, Carter has become a legend in his own time. His thrilling
act involves outrageous stunts carried out on elaborate sets before the
most demanding audiences. But the most outrageous stunt of all stars
none other than President Warren Harding and ends up nearly costing
Carter the reputation he worked so hard to create.
Filled with historical references that evoke the excesses and enthusiasm
of postwar, pre-Depression America, Carter Beats the Devil is the
complex and illuminating story of one man's journey through a
magical—and sometimes dangerous—world, where illusion is everything, and
everything is illusory.
