Stuart MacDonald started out as a magician - and now he's hoping to conjure up success for his latest project, a horror comedy film called Secondary Heroes.
Stuart (pictured), who lives in Adrian, Michigan, USA, followed a lifelong passion to become a professional magician - The Magic Stu - and has also had roles in cult films such as In The Woods and Knight Chills, where he met and worked with filmmaker/actor DJ Perry.
Recently, MacDonald crossed into directing with the documentary I Want to Look Like That Guy, which premiered at the 2011 Arnold Schwarzenegger Sports Film Festival to high praise.
Another passion of Stuart's is horror. He and his wife Lori are the masterminds behind popular Michigan haunted house The Haunting.
And now Stuart has reconnected with DJ Perry to combine his skill at comedic performing - honed in his magic acts - with his love of horror to tackle Secondary Heroes.
