The Illusionist

I don't  always watch movies, but when I do, I prefer mysteries. 
On a serious note now, the one movie I did actually enjoy was The Illusionist.  Edward Norton is the main character.  He's a magician.  He falls in love with a girl of higher class, and of course her parents do not agree.  He fakes his death through one of his performances to the whole town. 
He is able to run away with his lover and fake everyone who has witnessed his "death."
I am interested in mysteries and how the main character performs his magic tricks.  They are tricks that no one can understand.  It actually leaves you wondering if he was supernatural or if it all was just an illusion.
