The movie is about Daniel Küblböck, a participant of a German song contest who became well-known in Germany. In the plot of the movie, Daniel's concerts are enjoyed by everyone except a small group of kids who hate him but finally become friends with Daniel due to his extraordinary character and music. In reality, this small group of kids represents approx. 95% of the German public who feel highly annoyed by his so-called "music" as well as by the fact that during Daniel's best days of media presence it was fairly impossible to escape from it. I am pretty sure that if Daniel appeared in a film where he continueously punched himself into his face, a lot of Germans might really enjoy that and it might become a commercial success aswell. Regarding "Daniel der Zauberer", this movie would have been of public interest if the storyline had been reversed - everyone here in Germany would really appreciate seeing former fans of Daniel (the so-called "Faniels") turning against their idol and freeing Germany and the rest of the world from the burden of his "music".
Unfortunately, "Daniel der Zauberer" ends in the worst way an ending might be: Daniel not only survives the attacks of his enemies, but moreover manages to convert them to the dark, annoying (which means, his) side of music. It didn't come as a surprise that no-one was interested in a plot like that.
Dear readers from outside Germany: The comprehensive load of badness in this movie will not be revealed to you by only watching this outstanding piece of crap. You should also have a look at video records of the song contest Daniel took part in and listen to his so-called "music". I can honestly assure you, you will then fully agree with me that a new kind of scale needs to be invented just to judge this movie in an appropriate way. Until that happens, we will have to be satisfied with the 1.0 rating IMDB offers.
