By Patricia Reaney NEW YORK (Reuters) – Woody Allen explores the mysteries of illusion and love in “Magic in the Moonlight,” a period romantic comedy inspired by 1920s clairvoyants who were debunked by leading magicians of the day. In “Magic in the Moonlight,” which opens in U.S. theaters on Friday, reality and illusion collide on the Cote d’Azur in the Roaring Twenties, when spiritualism and seances were in vogue. “I set films very often in the past because I can create the illusion more tantalizingly.” Like “Midnight in Paris,” Allen’s most successful film with global earnings of more than $151 million, “Magic in the Moonlight” travels back to 1920s France. It is a world of blue skies, vintage cars and costumes, sumptuous villas and an international cast headed by Briton Colin Firth.
