The Illusionist (2006)

In turn-of-the-century Vienna, a magician uses his abilities to secure the love of a woman far above his social standing.(IMDB)

Since we did The Prestige, the obvious followup is The Illusionist. The two movies came out around the same time and dealt with very similar subjects: Victorian era stage magicians. The comparison really ends there, though. It was just a zeitgeist, or a complete coincidence, which could be more or less the same thing.

Come back next episode and let’s explore the OTHER magic movie from 2006.
