The young man met an old man under the big tree on the side of the road. The old man showed him an illusion-like trick, and immediately disappeared with the big tree. After that, the teenager has special abilities.
The young lady from the duke’s family has a good impression of this unique young man, and often sneaks to his house to watch him do magic, but the two people have different identities and their feelings are hindered by many obstacles, and they are eventually separated. The boy changed his name and went wandering.
Years later, a magician with magical powers made his debut in Vienna. His performance was superb and the venues were full. In a performance attended by the crown prince, he once again met the princess of the year-now the crown prince's fiancee.
In order to be able to be together, the two planned to escape secretly. So, an extraordinary magic show began...

Looking at the magic show inside, it felt a bit like the magic in Harry Potter. Of course it was very beautiful, but it was a bit illusory, not much the same as real magic.

Suddenly think of the magician Gao Yuan Yaoyi in "Golden Field One". His methods can be regarded as real magic, playing with people invisibly, and each time it starts wonderfully and ends gorgeously, even if caught. The way to escape without knowing it.
In another story by the same author, "Detective Academy", the hypnotizing and disguising Cyberlas used much less magic tricks, but he was also a super charming villain.

In the early days, the profession of a magician was equivalent to a deceiver. It took a superb skill to deceive all the audience with clever techniques.

Magic... If you use magic, it really is a bit simpler.

    The color tone is too beautiful. The scene is beautiful. A youthful beauty. .. Moreover, it seems that many people have misunderstood that these techniques are not magical and not fabricated by this movie: necklaces, orange trees, butterflies, and human figures of light and shadow are all magic, and they are real and operable magic.

The Illusionist quotes

  • Chief Inspector Uhl: In the name of his Imperial Majesty in the city of Vienna, I hereby arrest Edward Abramovich, also known as Eisenheim The Illusionist, on charges of disturbing public order, charlatanism and threats against the empire.

  • Chief Inspector Uhl: As a boy, I'm told, he had a chance encounter with a travelling magician. One version of the story was that the man himself vanished... along with the tree. People began to think he had some sort of special power... or at least that he was a bit different. And then he met her.
