I think The Illusionist was actually started before The Prestige so there may be some basis for Ed Norton's comments about lack of magicians in films.
I found it slightly dull; and think it would have worked better if there hadn't been the flashbacks towards the end to explain what had happened to those hard of understanding.
I also found it visually bland - old Europe was very brown and clean.
