Overview
With his eye on a lovely aristocrat, a gifted illusionist named Eisenheim uses his powers to win her away from her betrothed, a crowned prince. But Eisenheim's scheme creates tumult within the monarchy and ignites the suspicion of a dogged inspector.

In the story it is made clear that everything that is made to look magical is just a trick, sleight of hand, an illusion.

The obligatory sex scene is mostly implied, it is sex prior to commitment.
