During Harry Houdinis (Guy Pearces) tour of Britain in 1926, the master escapologist enters into a passionate affair with a Scottish psychic. The psychic and her daughter attempt to con Houdini during a highly-publicized séance to contact his mother, whose death has haunted him for many years. However, all does not go to plan.
1926. Famed escape artist (Guy Pearce) has spent much of his energy of late trying to expose charlatans claiming to have paranormal/psychic powers. He offers a $10,000 reward to anyone who can recite his mothers dying words to him from several years earlier, words he wrote down and sealed into an envelope. Edinburgh-based con artist Mary McGarvie (Catherine Zeta-Jones), who largely works with her teenage daughter Benji (Saoirse Ronan), senses an opportunity for that $10,000 when she learns that Houdini will visit Edinburgh during his latest tour. One of Mary and Benjis scams is to perpetrate having psychic powers in a stage show using previously-gleaned information, often through nefarious means. Mary believes that she and Benji can work such a scam on Houdini, which requires them getting close to him to find out as much about him as they can. Upon Houdinis arrival in Edinburgh, they find that an unforeseen obstacle is getting through Houdinis manager, Sugarman (Timothy Spall).
