My rating : 3/5
Comment : Magic? Illusion? Supernatural power? Wandering spirits? I like them all lol. I dislike their love story =( But that was before i know what exactly happened. After that, i love it too! =D Now i know what people from once upon a time used to do during leisure time. Watching magicians' performances and crack their minds to figure out how those tricks actually work. Like how we watch movies in cinemas nowadays. Just that we don't really have second thought on what we've been watching? Hmm.. Eisenheim, The Illusionist. So powerful, not in strength. But, in a different way, a way better way. He's a genius. Well, he just wanna be with her =)





It's three in the morning.
