Starswirl the Bearded was known for his fantastic magical illusions and tricks from his early days as a magician, but as time goes forward, the age of magicians and other talents have grown old. In a modern world filled with new things, he struggles to make meets end as his career as a magician teeters to the edge, unable to compete with the fast-growing new forms of entertainment in the modern world, so he tours the rundown bars and theaters he can find to perform in.

But things brighten for him when he meets Trixie, a girl who believes his powers are real. Together they travel to Ponyville for a performance, but he doesn’t have the heart to reveal that his feats are merely tricks, and risks financial ruin by giving her gifts supplied by his “magic.”

Inspired by the French Animated film, L'illusionniste
