Thomas, a young man who is passionate about becoming a magician, faces increasing pressure from his parents to get a regular job. A magic trick with swords goes wrong, sending his mother Gunilla to the emergency room. She escapes with little harm.

Thomas meets Monika, a nurse at the hospital who, as it turns out, is a neighbor. She asks him to perform at a kids’ birthday party at her home. When the magic show ends, Monika asks where he will perform next because she is keen to attend it.

Thomas impulsively says he will be performing at the 60th birthday celebration of his father next Friday. Now he has the task of persuading his father to let him perform on Friday. His father is very skeptical about Thomas’s magic tricks because of the accident that sent his wife to the hospital. He relents when Thomas promises to get a regular job and agrees not to use swords.

On the day of the birthday, Thomas, unbeknownst to everyone else, hires an actor to join the audience. He invites this actor on stage to perform the sword trick. The trick goes wrong and it seems the actor has been killed or is grievously injured. However the actor gets up with a start. It becomes clear that Thomas and the actor were fooling the audience. Everyone, especially Thomas’ father, is relieved.
