Is The Illusionist a true story?
It is based loosely on Steven Millhauser’s short story “Eisenheim the Illusionist”. The film tells the story of Eisenheim, a magician in turn-of-the-century Vienna, who reunites with his childhood love, a woman far above his social standing. The film also depicts a fictionalized version of the Mayerling incident.
How did Eisenheim do the Ghost Trick?
Since the ghosts Eisenheim conjured could speak to and interact with the audience, he most likely used a different method popular among magicians at that time. A fantascope was used to illuminate a real person off stage. The image was reflected off of a mirror or glassplate, creating a ghosted image.
Is The Prestige related to Batman?
One thing The Prestige actually has going for it over Batman Begins is the fact it is its own film, a standalone, whereas Batman Begins is in a trilogy, and is overshadowed by the other two movies that come after it.
