Magic is not real—everyone knows that. Yet, when executed by a true expert, it has the power to leave its audience in awe. Kaito Kuroba, the son of the world-renowned stage magician Touichi Kuroba, is well aware of this. Skilled in the arts of deception and misdirection, Kaito often disrupts the lives of those around him with flashy tricks and pranks. However, when he accidentally discovers a hidden passage in his home, he uncovers a secret that may have been the cause of his father's death eight years ago: the dove-white outfit of Kid the Phantom Thief. Eager to learn more about his father, Kaito dons the outfit and begins searching for the Pandora Gem, which is said to grant immortality. He is not alone in his pursuit, though—the organization responsible for his father's death is also hot on his trail. Magic Kaito chronicles the rebirth of Kaitou Kid, the phantom thief of the night. Using his dummies, disguises, and signature card gun, Kaito sets out to steal the world's most precious jewels, uncovering the truth behind his father's death and the rumored Pandora Gem along the way.
