Death Defying Acts

While on tour in Scotland, the world’s most famous magician, Harry Houdini (Guy Pearce), sets out to prove whether psychics can really communicate with the dead. He still mourns the death of his beloved mother, and offers $10,000 to anyone who can contact her from beyond the grave. His offer catches the attention of a beautiful psychic named Mary McGregor (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and her young daughter, Benji (Saoirse Ronan).
