The reproduction of "Death Defying Acts" on the stage is very convincing. Whether it is clothing or indoor environment, it can create a suitable atmosphere, mixing reality and fantasy
. The film is not a biopic about the great Harry Houdini, but a meticulously deduced romantic drama. Although the plot is not sweet, the atmosphere is dreamy, and the unreal and subtle role interpretation interacts with this. Fit. After this pleasant dream atmosphere is magnified, the audience will never know what is real and what is fake, everything is in order

[first lines]
Benji McGarvie: [with Scottish accent] When I was very small, I had a gift. I saw things other folk did nae see. It was like looking into deep water and seein' things on the other side. As I grew up, the gift vanished, just like my mam said it would. And I saw the world as it really was - with all its sweet lies and trickery. The great Houdini came into our lives, and changed everything forever.

Benji McGarvie: [narrating about pick-pocketing] You play the game, or you go under. That's what mam always said. And if it wasn't for her, we would have drowned long ago.
