After "les noces rouges" (1973) , Chabrol's second period of barren inspiration began.Although adapted from a Frederic Dard novel (Robert Hossein's best film was a Dard novel: "Toi le Venin" ),"Les Magiciens " is a mediocre movie ,which was probably made to combine business with pleasure ( holidays in Tunisia in a luxury hotel).
While traveling to a resort in Tunisia, the magician and clairvoyant Professor Vestar (Gert Fröbe) befriends the idle millionaire Edouard Vangard (Jean Rochefort) in his car. Vestar discloses to Edouard that he had had a premonition of a woman being murdered in a desert area.
