<br />
The movie is a biopic based on the Bernard C. Meyer's book ''Houdini: A Mind in Chains: a Psychoanalytic Portrait'' which has many fiction elements.<br />
<br />
As Sir Arthur Conan Doyle really knew Houdini, he naturally appears in the second part of the series played by [[David Calder]]. Lady Doyle is played by [[Linda Marlowe]]. The relationship between the Conan Doyles and Houdini is faithfull to the real story (friendship and disagreements).<br />
