In reality, Harry Houdini was 5'4". His actor counterpart Adrien Brody is 6'1".

Shot entirely in Budapest - which also happens to be the real birthplace of Harry Houdini.

Composer John Debney has been a lifelong fan of the work of Harry Houdini.

Houdini's eye color changes from brown when he was a boy, to green as an adult. Even though his "American" passport lists his eye color as brown, there was no attempt to disguise Adrien Brody's natural green eyes.

The language of the Russian Royal Court was French, not English.

The capital of Russia at the time of Houdini's visit was St Petersburg, not Moscow. Very doubtful he gave a performance to the Royal Family in Moscow.
