I saw a movie a long time ago, around 1978, and it was about a man (magician or illusionist) that could make other people see and hear what he wanted them too. In the movie, around the beginning, the movie shows him as a performer doing tricks, then he goes and stays at a mans’ house as a guest, they are having a party to celebrate, drinks are served and people are drinking and eating snacks. The next thing I remember is that he is cutting up carrots for a dish and makes it appear that he cuts off his finger. A lady next to him is screaming and he shows her that it was a carrot that he cut and not his finger. Next I remember a scene where the man is being questioned by someone of authority in a small room. The man totally makes the authority figure believe he sees him float in mid air and he really is just sitting down in a chair smoking or eating something, He does these things with the power of his mind. I cannot remember this movie…
