I'm getting a little off topic here, but I did some looking online because my interest was piqued.
I never watched the movie because LaToya said it was about a faked death, that's all I needed to hear. :LolLolLolLol:
Here is something I found online:

Question:
Can someone explain the ILLUSIONIST? MOVIE?
so the girl faked her death with the help of Eishsnhammer (however u spell it)....but how did the prince think himself that he 'killed' the girl....ok i just don't really get it, i do, but not really..
SOME ONE explain
this movie is somewhat mind boggling!
Answer:
The prince always denied that he did anything.
The fact is that he was drugged and the rest of what happened was staged to make him look like he did something he didn't.
It wasn't until the end of the story that the police detective figures out what happened, how they drugged the prince and made it look like he girl was stabbed using the royal sword, and how they covered it all up by making sure the magician found the body and his accomplice declared the girl dead before anyone else had a chance to see she was merely unconscious, she was also drugged.
The rest is all a matter of getting the detective to point the finger at the prince and get him in trouble with his father. The rest was academic. Either the father would kill the prince or the detective would be killed by the prince and the father would kill the prince but the prince would die and the girl would be free to do as she pleased and that is what the magician was after, her freedom.

Question:
How does the Illusionist end
Answer:
Eisenheim (Edward Norton) faked Sophie's death and framed the Crown Prince.
Crown Prince = Murray
Eisenheim = Michael's best friends (?)
Sophie = Michael
The movie is about giving freedom to the girl - if Michael is Sophie in this then it was done to give him his freedom. But freedom from what?
Love you Michael!
