Magic in movies goes back centuries but it has not been until the last decade or two that magic has become so mainstream. Even more and more movies about magic are coming out with movie magic as a sole purpose such as the Harry Potter series which is full of wizardry and magic spells. The list of magic movies is long and distinguished. The illusionist was a great movie dealing with magic spells.

Some of the biggest names in magic and illusions perform nightly in Las Vegas from David Copperfield to the recent most popular Criss Angel. The most popular show of its kind Mindfreak has made magic mainstream and a nightly show to watch.

It is fun to watch anything that is magical and mysterious especially if it has to do with movies about magic. This governs my prejudice towards any of the movies about magicians or magic in general. Apart from these being my favorite genre of movies, my wife shares a similar interest. So when deciding on a movie it does not need much of a thought, anything that has magic or illusion makes it the movie for that day! And with the latest animation techniques and illusion creating technologies, these movies have become a must watch. The latest craze The Twilight Saga is for sure what my wife is into and every other red blooded woman in the world. The Twilight books have become a worldwide phenomenon and the Twilight movies are even bigger. There are 4 in the series and each one keeps getting better. The Twilight movie itself was a huge success despite its very limited budget. However sequel New Moon is by far better and proves worthy as a big budget film.

It is always fun to watch the great drama framed up by the film makers, which drives one into a whole new world of magic and witchcraft. According to me, these have the ability to hold the breath of any kind of audience- with the art of misdirection and ability to convert the unbelievable into believable. I have a number of all-time favorites, and a space as small as this may not fit them all. Some of them, though, surely need a mention as follows:

The latest Harry Potter series has been keeping me busy for quite some time now. These are a perfect blend of modern magic. With an amazing story line, these are the adaptation of well written books which were similarly popular and were well talked about. The young and the old magicians that form the characters of the film are liked by one and all.

Mine and my wifes all time favorite is bewitched. It reflects a great symphony of magic and comedy. The movie bewitched was preceded by a series of Television show featured with the same name. A young, beautiful and naive witch, the protagonist of the movie, disavowed her supernatural powers for her human husband.

The Chronicles of Narnia is another product of a series of books. These have a gripping theme and are a perfect example of amazing witchcraft. Out of the two movies of the Chronicles of Narnia, my personal favorite is the first one. The concept of wardrobe being a door to a new world amazed my instincts.

The lord of the rings series is surely no miss. These created modern fantasy, a noticeable genre. A way to find movies about magicians is to scroll through YouTube. The YouTube platform allows one to broadcast video clips. These clips can be downloaded for free for public viewing.

The excitement, fun and the suspense that these movies about magicians unleash is incomparable. These can actually make a great family past time. There is no better way to get your kids focused on the television than by showing them anything to do with movies about magic.

There are so many movies with magic in them that its hard to know where to start. Magical movies tend to be classified in the kids or fantasy categories and they can provide a lot of fun and a way to escape the norm especially if you are a youngster. There are magic movies for individuals of all ages and many of them can be enjoyable for children, teens and adults. I personally never get tired of the magic movie arena and hopefully you do not either. Here is a brief look at some of the following best movies with magic so eloquently on display.

The first movies that contain magic that come to mind are all of the Harry Potter films. These movies have two distinct worlds, a non magical world and a magical world. The Harry Potter movies have been a mainstay since they were first released though the most frequent movies have a much darker tone to them. If you don’t find some slight deviations from the actual books and just take them as movies then they are quite enjoyable. Its not too bad but as we all know the movie rarely lives up to the hype of a book. However these magic films have far surpassed expectations.

Another great series of movies that contain magic are the Neverending Story movies. While the magical part is considered to be a dream in the first Neverending Story containing the world of Fantastica. This world is being destroyed by the Nothing. The nothing is supposed to represent a lack of imagination in the real world and the young warrior is sent to find a cure. This movie has plenty of magic spells in it and a great break from the norm as far as reality is concerned.

A favorite magical movie of mine that your kids will love as mine did is Bed knobs and Broomsticks from Walt Disney. This movie is about a good witch that takes some orphans to explore an underwater world. They travel on a magical bed. The movie is set around the Second World War when children are being sent out of the cities. Some of the group’s adventures include escaping the Nazis and playing football with some animals. This movie is an excellent blend of animation and magic.

The Chronicles of Narnia films are full of magic and nothing is more magical then the lion Aslan. In this book 4 children discover a magic wardrobe that acts as a passage to the world of Narnia. They must fight the white witch in order to free the creatures that live in Narnia and stop the never ending winter. The chronicles of Narnia has something for everyone as there is plenty of magic, comedy and battles. There are two films and a third on the way in this trilogy of magical wonder and enjoyment.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is full of magic though it may not be considered magic in the traditional sense of the word. Gandalf and Saruman are wizards and the elves also contain a type of magic as they can never die. There are ghost, goblins, orcs, hobbits, dwarves, elves and more in the Lord of the Rings. It really is an amalgamation of all fantasy creatures you could ever find in a set of movies. It should be noted that the Lord of the rings movies may not be suitable for children.

For those great kids movies that feature magic you have the Sword in the Stone which contains the wizard Merlin. There is a great duel between Merlin and a witch. Mary poppins uses plenty of magic in her adventures with the children. Ella Enchanted has fairies and curses that can create a great story and Enchanted has plenty of magic that manages to escape into the real world.
