The film begins with our protagonist Max Azier on the streets performing magic tricks as an entertainer and, after a few bad days, he decides he needs to learn some new tricks to improve the quality of his act. He heads down to a book shop and, after discovering a hidden section in the shop, discovers a book that teaches him to perform amazing illusions. Azier uses these new tricks to come to fame and has a big show on stage at night time making him rich and famous. After a while of success he tries to perform a new trick. However, it goes wrong and he accidentally summons a demon to posses her body. This is when we discover that Azier has been granted supernatural powers by the book and he runs away to hide. Meanwhile, the demon begins killing people jumping from host to host bringing death wherever it goes. Eventually Azier confronts it and becomes partly possessed. This is when we learn of a dark version of himself that made the book as part of the demons plan to become free and enter the world. After expelling the demon from his body he has one more confrontation with it, seemly destroying it and the book taking away the powers he has been granted. The film then skips forward a few days to a news story that Max Azier has disappeared and his show; cancelled. We then skip to the theater he had been performing at to see the owners putting up a cancelled banner before panning over to Azier across the road who smiles, turns around and disappeares down the street behind him merging into the crowd before the film ends.
