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 male 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.


 * Trent Hastings - Trent is Danielle’s younger brother who absolutely loves a good scare but as opposed to Danielle, he’s not exactly immune to fear. But that doesn’t stop him, Trent is a risk taker and he takes risks no matter how stupid they may be. Trent sees his older sister as boring but she sees it as taking care of him. When Mikayla Mon De comes to town, Trent falls in love with her. But this is a match most definitely not made in Heaven.
 * Physical - Trent is your typical teenage boy! He should look loosely like Danielle since they're siblings but that's about it. :)
 * Other details- Trent is supposed to be 16 years old with his sister being two years older BUT I am open to flipping the ages to make Trent 18 and his sister 16. I always liked the whole older brother is immature and his younger sister is more mature 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


 * Rice – Rice is a magician mime who works with Mikayla in the magic acts. Rice is actually supposed to be the main magician in the acts but since he’s a “mime” and cannot speak, Mikayla generally takes over and it’s no doubt that with her looks, she steals the show. Everyone just sees Rice as her assistant. However, on Halloween night, Danielle meets Rice for the first time. She learns that behind the white and black make up, Rice is an emotionally scarred young man who knows all about who Mikayla is but was cursed by her where she took away his ability to speak so he wouldn't expose her, forcing him to stand silent as her right hand man while she does her dirty work. But, overtime he got better with his mime skills, so he’s able to perfectly converse with Danielle and decides to help her stop Mikayla.
 * Physical - Rice will be in black and white mime make up until the very end of the movie when he meets Mikayla. Rice can be any age, I really don't care, but I prefer someone older (this gives a chance to any of those male actors over 19 :)). His age will not be specified in the movie.


 * Jared and Peyton – Jared and Peyton are Trent’s best friends who obsess over “hot Mikayla” with him. They are seen throughout the movie with Trent as the plot thickens.
 * Physical - They should look like normal teenage boys! Whatever age Trent ends up being, they'll be so don't stress over the age, any actor 14 or older would be acceptable for an audition. :)

I'm so excited, thanks for considering. :) 
 * 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.
