Illusionisten

Illusionisten is a German comedy film released in 2006, directed by Michael Haneke. The movie takes place in an exclusive traveling club of magicians and con-artists in 19th century Europe. The story revolves around a Chair of Society's member's intervention that expels one of its members, Lange, for he refuses to pay for the maintenance of his employed assistant, Eisenbart.

The remaining members construct an illusion where Eisenhart is declared dead and the enshrined money that him intended to gave his assistant as an inheritance will be transferred. Eisenhart then gets a strange case, starts his journey as an illusionist, using the same trick to win consistency and later he bite's off more considerable balls than he intended to.
