Plot: "Lance, Bruce: Illusionist (the Story of Bruce Lance the Illusionist)" is a mockumentary following the astonishing rise to fame of a rogue magician whose edgy and shocking approach has revitalized magic's waning popularity, while raising the ire of the traditional magic community. A filmmaker follows Bruce for several weeks, capturing footage of several 'event appearances' including his inappropriate set at a kid's birthday party, his defiling of a bride at an Irish wedding, and his 'misunderstood' performance at an Armenian banquet. The director also takes us to the home of 'The Amazing Gweneveve,' Bruce's former assistant who longs for a reunion with her former master, despite the loss of a limb during their last performance. We hear from Bruce's fans and contemporaries a mix of disturbing admiration and impassioned resentment. The director also sits with Bruce, to delve into the mind of this unique performer. Is he a genius, or an amphetamine-dependent waste? Behold, the enchanting, dismal world of Bruce Lance.
