Hey everyone! I'm officially casting for my new upcoming Wiki Channel Halloween-themed movie, "Sleight of Hand"! Continue below to read the plot of the movie, additional details, and then the female characters that I'm casting.

PLOT: Danielle and Trent Hastings are 18 year old and 16 year old brother and sister who live in the small town of Cevaville. Nothing interesting ever happens in Cevaville- that is until one fateful Halloween. The great Sleight of Hand Magic Act is coming to town, a magic act that tours the world and is famously known for their creepy and scary shows, so scary that it’s been banned from towns and some people don’t even dare to go to a show. This month the act is set to perform various shows at the town and Trent and his friends couldn’t be more excited to go. His sister Danielle however is pretty chill about it all and isn’t convinced that the act is going to scare her much. But, the town is in for a surprise when they learn Sleight of Hand’s shows for the season are going to feature a brand new leading lady: Miss Mikayla Mon De. Bouncy black hair, sharp color changing eyes, and a tight leather jumpsuit, Mikayla Mon De catches everyone’s attention with her alluring looks and bold yet mysterious attitude- especially all of the guys’. In all of Mikayla’s magic acts she lures the attention of the young men toward her and takes one of them onto the stage, putting them into a sensual trance, thus allowing her to perform her magic trick. And the trick always turns out to be fantastic. All of the boys are a buzz about the mysteriously beautiful Mikayla, even some girls look up to her. The entire town loves her. But Danielle soon notices that everyone’s obsession with Mikayla is becoming a bit too much. The guys are kissing the ground she walks on, the girls want to be like her, and no one even seems to notice the tiny bad deeds Mikayla does around town- tripping in an old man for example. But after Danielle does some investigating in Mikayla’s tour van, it all clicks in her mind. Mon De. De Mon. Mikayla is really a witch planning a plot against the town and Danielle is the only one who seems to notice her evil ways. But before she can get anyone to believe her, it’s too late and on Halloween night, the last performance of Mikayla, everyone in town who’s ever been tranced by her is now a mindless drone, controlled by Mikayla and abiding to her every order- even Trent. Now Danielle must figure out a way to stop Mikayla, who is using her army of drones to wreak Halloween havoc, and get her brother back before it’s too late.

Things you should know: Something to know, this movie is going to be something a little bit more mature for Wiki Channel. It's not anything an 11 year old can't watch but it's also something an 8 year old might want to take precaution on. Just know that when you think of the demographic your actor shoots for.


 * Danielle Hastings – Danielle is a very smart and mature 18 year old girl who is a bit more mature than most kids her age. Danielle laughs at a lot of adult jokes and is into adult topics, this makes her brother think of her as boring. However, Danielle loves a good Japanese horror film; it’s one of her guilty pleasures. Nothing scares Danielle, nothing catches her off guard. So when her parents go away the last week of October before Halloween, they trust her to take care of her younger brother. Little did Danielle know that she’d face a responsibility bigger than she imagined. Mysterious magician Mikayla may have everyone in the town wrapped around her finger, but Danielle doesn’t fall for it and she’s ready to do whatever it takes to save the people she loves.
 * Physical - Looking for an actress who looks strong and bold. Danielle is not at all a weak link. She also should have a smart look.
 * Other details - Danielle is supposed to be 18 years old with her brother being two years younger BUT I am open to flipping the ages to make Danielle 16 and her brother 18. I always liked the whole younger sister is more mature than her older brother thing and I think it can work here. And even if I don't flip the ages, I'm okay with making Danielle and Trent a bit younger, don't stress over the age. :P


 * Mikayla Mon De- Mikayla Mon De is Sleight of Hand Magic Act’s brand new leading lady, extremely attractive, bold yet mysterious, and with a fierce attitude. Mikayla catches everyone’s attention with her alluring looks and mysterious attitude- especially all of the guys’. In all of Mikayla’s magic acts she lures the attention of the young men toward her and takes one of them onto the stage, putting them into a sensual trance, thus allowing her to perform her magic trick. And the trick always turns out to be fantastic. Soon, the entire town loves Mikayla, practically bowing down to her. But no one seems to even notice the small bad deeds Mikayla does around the town for her amusement: tripping elderly people, kicking dogs, and mysteriously causing mishaps for pedestrians. No one in the town however knows that Mikayla Mon De is actually an evil witch planning a plot against the town- no one except for Danielle.
 * Physical - Mikayla has to be, like I don't want to say it, but she has to be hot. To compare it to someone, I'd say like Princess Jasmine. She also has to be able to be fierce looking and mysterious.
 * Other details - Mikayla's age is not specified but she should look like a young-adult, not a teenager. I still want to cast an actress here for the role. :)


 * Aubrey - Aubrey is Danielle’s super chill best friend who is a total party animal. She looks up to Mikayla and throughout the movie whips up these crazy ideas about how to get “Mikayla curves” and a “Mon De glow” that she tells other girls and tries to push on Danielle. Aubrey is a big comic relief character.
 * Physical - Aubrey can look, be, do anything she wants! As long as she sets her heart to it! <3 You can fly Aubrey, you can fly! Run Forest, run!


 * Mr. and Mrs. Hastings - They leave town the week of Halloween for a business thing, leaving Danielle to take care of Trent. I just need some suggestions but I won't really worry about them until I have Danielle and Trent cast.

Thanks everyone! I've looked through the actors and actresses and there are a lot that I think would work for this! :)
