Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post 07/11/2013
The film is, at times, very funny. At the same time, Ehrlich tries to show us not just the budding magician, but the budding person. Go to Full Review Robin Migdol Village Voice 06/30/2013

It's a documentary that champions the idea that kids need outlets like magic to truly be their original selves, a praiseworthy message if there ever was one. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 07/01/2013

09/29/2015 A documentary that is satisfactory at best emoji:ð??? See more 08/29/2015 Very interesting look inside the most prestigious camp for kids who want to be magicians. Some sad stories among those featured. Worth the watch. See more 07/03/2013 It is pretty incredible that a magic camp like this exists, and this film does a great job at showing not only what the camp offers to young magicians, but the political nature of the industry even at the most basic/youngest levels. See more 06/29/2013 Fascinating, moving and funny! 'Magic Camp' is a special treasure of a film created with care and respect for the art of magic and those who practice it. It's filled with great magic performed by both talented (and often hilariously precocious) kids and an inspiring staff of counselors who encourage them to not only hone their craft but also to embrace their individuality. Uniquely scored and beautifully edited; fun moments offset perfectly with poignant ones made me both laugh and cry. See more k a 02/11/2013 The focus is on five campers and their week at Magic Camp. The campers give insight into why they love magic. The story follows their preparations for the final competition on the last night of camp. Thought provoking and insightful.
