Neil Berger\u2019s adaptation of Steven Millhauser\u2019s short story \u201cEisenheim the Illusionist\u201d introduced a romantic plot to a story about magical deception, but does it deliver? In episode 249, Luke & James discuss an overlooked film from the aughts, Edward Norton\u2019s performance as Eisenheim, an extremely elaborate plot, and the nature of ambiguous magic in movies about stage magic. Then they vote on which was better: the short story or the movie!
