Eisenheim is a remarkable man. What makes him so remarkable? Well, he's just the best illusionist around! Crowds made up of hundreds and thousands come just to see him perform. Eisenheim can talk to ghosts, create a modern day sword in the stone, and make people disappear without a trace. Some say he's the greatest illusionist of all time, others say he traded his soul to the devil for his powers. Nobody knows how he does it, they just know that he's great at it. When Eisenheim finds himself in a pickle, he must resort to many tricks, illusions, and cons in order to pull off his greatest trick yet. Winning the heart of his childhood love, and escaping the grasp of police and society. I liked this movie, I give it 3 stars because it's not really like the short story. I like the story better tbh.
this movie was great with the illusionist making all the viewers feeling so sad and devastated that the main female character was dead through the whole movie and then surprising us at the end with her actually being alive. it was an awesome movie and i recommend it to everyone who likes an action adventure with a hint of romance.it was a one of a kind movie.
