"Ted Jan Roberts a "magic kid" who captivates his viewers with his passion for martial arts. There are good scenes in the movie, but doesn't have a very intricate plot, anyway not for adults. Though, from time to time is nice to watch with the little ones. I wish I could see T.J.R acting, now, in other karate/action movies. My opinion is that this genre of movies is the best. "Viva"- Kung Fu, Aikido, Taiquando...!!!"
TJ Rocks!

"Why oh why didn't this kid become the next big martial arts movie star? It's beyond me, but he clearly SHOULD have. I watched Magic Kid for the first time in 1999 and I absolutely loved it's simply themed premise and lighthearted plot. It was perfect for what it was: a movie about a kid who happens to be a black belt fighter with moves to baffle everyone around him. Though this movie doesn't show his true talent to the degree that A Dangerous Place does, it is a movie with a lot of heart and just-sit-with-the-kids-on-a-saturday-afternoon-and-enjoy a better-movie-than-the-traditional-kids-section-fodder kind of mentality to it. If you want an intricate story, look elsewhere, but if you want to see a boy with some true talent in a movie that doesn't insult kids' intelligence, see Magic Kid. 3.75 stars"
