We’re in central Europe in the late 19th Century and the biggest sensation around is an extraordinary conjuror who has just come to scenic Vienna. But while everyone agrees his show is great, there is debate over who this mysterious man might be. Could he actually have real magical powers? Or is he part of some political plot aimed at damaging the royal family? This is a beautiful-looking film filled with romance, intrigue and amazing effects, with  a great cast including Edward Norton and a script that brilliantly pulls you into the story.

Fascinating facts

The Illusionist’s Edward Norton performed some of the tricks in the film himself, having spent time learning the art of illusion from some top magicians - including James Norton (no relation!) who also coached the cast of the TV series Hustle.
