Magicians follows the careers of magicians Harry and Karl. Once a famous duet but ever since Karl screwed Harry's wife and Harry's accidental murder of her afterwards the two have went their separate ways and are struggling in the world alone. They then decide to pair up for the big Magic tournament that offers a grand cash prize of £20,000.
This is a good comedy film. More for fans of Peep Show and Mitchell and Webb, but it still translates to others. Karl (played by Robert Webb - Jeremy) is paired up in the plot with his agent a repressive homosexual who tries to bring Karl on side, whilst Karl pursues the naive Dani and tries to woo her by pretending to be physic and able to contact her dead father.
Harry (played by David Webb - Mark) meets a new assisstant is attracted to him yet he is reluctant at first. Especialy as he hasn't told her about decapitating his wife even though he will be attempting the same act on her.
There are lots of great jokes in this film. Very funny and the same style of comedy the writers of Peep Show generally bring us. The DVD has some greatextra's commentary from the writer's, Mitchell and Webb and the director which is very funny. There is also some great deleted scenes, video diaries and making of.. videos that are all very entertaining

Sorry for the H, but if this is to be a full DVD review, I would prefer to see a review of the extras in similar detail to the way you've reviewed the film, rather than just a brief mention of them.
