După ce abandonează facultatea de drept, Troy vede un anunţ în ziar: "se caută asistent personal pentru un celebru entertainer". Cu speranţa că ocazia îl va catapulta într-o carieră plină de strălucire în showbiz, Troy nu stă deloc pe gânduri. Habar nu are că celebrul entertainer este de fapt Buck Howard, un magician pe care nu-l mai bagă nimeni în seamă.
Troy Gable (Colin Hanks) defies his father (Tom Hanks) and leaves law school to pursue his dream of becoming a writer in Los Angeles. To support himself, he takes a job as a road manager for "The Great" Buck Howard (John Malkovich), a fading mentalist. Troy comes to enjoy traveling with Buck to performances in smaller venues such as Bakersfield and Akron. In particular, Troy sincerely admires Buck's signature trick: having someone in the audience hide his fee for that night's performance, which he then unfailingly discovers. (Kreskin is said to have actually performed this feat 6,000 times, only failing to find the money nine times.)
