No, it's not. The movie is a fictional creation with an imaginative plot.
The Illusionist is purely a work of fiction. It was written and directed to captivate audiences with an imaginative plot rather than being rooted in real events.
The illusionist is surely a main character. He is the one with the unique skills and abilities. Additionally, there could be an antagonist, perhaps someone who is trying to expose the illusionist's tricks or has a vendetta against him. And then there might be the audience members, who are also important as they react to the illusionist's performances and can drive the plot in some ways.
In the short story, Eisenheim the Illusionist is a very mysterious character. He has extraordinary skills in creating illusions that leave the audience in awe.

It might be. As I mentioned before, Project Gutenberg often offers free e - books and short stories for reading, so there's a chance it could be found there for free.

Well, first of all, the origin of their interest in illusion is a key element. It could be a single event that inspired them. Then, the continuous improvement of their skills through trial and error.

And finally, their ability to adapt to different audiences and cultures as they perform around the world is an important part of their full story.

For example, The New Yorker's website often has a selection of short stories, although it's not certain that 'Eisenheim the Illusionist' will be there. Another option could be to search on Goodreads. Goodreads not only has reviews but also might provide links to where you can read the story online.
