To celebrate the release The Illusionist  in cinemas August 20th, we’ve teamed-up with Pathé Distribution to give three lucky winners a chance to win a The Illusionist poster along with Pathé box set of French DVD titles including The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Moliere & The Chorus.

The Illusionist is one of a dying breed of stage entertainers. With emerging rock stars stealing his thunder in the late 1950s, he is forced to accept increasingly obscure assignments in fringe theatres, at garden parties and in bars and cafés.

However, whilst performing in a village pub off the west coast of Scotland, he encounters Alice, an innocent young girl, who will change his life forever.

Watching his performance to the excited villagers who are celebrating the arrival of electricity on their remote island, Alice becomes awestruck by his show and believes his tricks are real magic. Following him to Edinburgh, she keeps his home while he goes to work in a small local theatre.

Enchanted by her enthusiasm for his act, he rewards her with increasingly lavish gifts he has 'conjured' into existence. Desperate not to disappoint her, he cannot bring himself to reveal that magic does not exist and that buying these gifts is driving him to ruin.

But as Alice comes of age, she finds love and moves on. The Illusionist no longer has to pretend and, untangled from his own web of deceit, resumes his life as a much wiser man.
 
To be in with a chance of winning this prize, all you need to do is answer the following question:
 
What town does Alice follow The Illusionist to?

· Edinburgh

· Manchester

· Glasgow
