The Illusionist is a 2006 American romantic mystery film written and directed by Neil Burger. 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.
 
In 1900s Vienna, mesmeric entertainer Eisenheim's magical abilities are wowing the crowds, with an act that ranges from mere tricks to an apparent capacity to raise the dead. However, he has also long been in love with Duchess Sophie von Teschen, which puts him in dangerous competition with the violent, scheming Crown Prince Leopold, who jumps at the opportunity to have the magician arrested grounds of necromancy.
 
A very good used BLU-RAY + DVD movie set in a case with mild wear.
