Blending their personal stories with their on-stage acts, "Make Believe," shows the teenagers tirelessly practicing magic, creating new tricks, illusions, costumes and props. Two South African boys, Siphiwe Fangase and Nkumbuzo Nkonyana, are students at the world-renown College of Magic in their country. There, they hone their skills before performing for admiring onlookers on the dusty streets of their neighborhood. For them, magic has meant hope — a unique hobby that has kept them out of trouble and allowed them to travel to the States.
