Although he is hundreds of years old, Merlin appears to twelve-year old Alex in the form of a young man. Merlin uses his magic, and the legendary sword Excalibur, to help Alex form a group of knights to fend off the forces of darkness. My kids were really intrigued by Merlin's use of magic in the movie which he manipulates through intricate hand gestures and arm movements. Plus you can check out Merlin's mesmerizing magic in more detail through tutorials on casting spells that are included as bonus content in the home entertainment video release of THE KID WHO WOULD BE KING.
Merlin challenges you to replicate his spells in these fun tutorial segments included with other bonus content that also includes deleted scenes, featurettes about the making of the movie, and a music video for "Be the King" by Lay Lay. Of course my daughter wanted to tackle this challenge to do moves like Merlin. So she tried to replicate Merlin's magical hand sequences for the spell of metal duplication. We didn't have any swords to duplicate like in THE KID WHO WOULD BE KING so we tried using forks instead. How'd she do?!
