Trivia:
During the scene where Eisenheim is performing at the Hofburg, he places the Crown Prince's sword upright on the stage. The first officer who attempts to lift it is unable. The second person to try - to whom the Crown Prince says "Not so eager, cousin" - is also unable. That second person was probably meant to be Karl von Habsburg-Lothringen, who succeeded "Crown Prince Leopold's" father, Franz Josef, as Emperor in 1916.

This was absolutely charming. It is rare to see a movie with a completely different plot. So many times you can almost write the content as it is a re-hash of an earlier plot and it all seems vaguely familiar. Not so with "The Illusionist" This is one you cannot predict. I went in a party of 5. All 5 of us were truly surprised at how really great the movie was. Pure entertainment. This is one of those rare movies I am willing to see again in the same week. Hollywood should make more movies like this. I was also impressed with the cinematography and the ability to take one back in time to the 19th century. Edward Norton is a modern day Laurence Olivier
