Well, that depends on what you mean by your question. If you mean 'Were the Illusions performed by Edward Norton real, and actually performed by Edward Norton?" Then the answer is No. If you mean, 'Were the illusions displayed in the movie, actual illusions, performed by real illusionists at one time or another?" Then the answer is Yes. The "Orange Tree illusion" was invented by a french magician Robert Houdin. And was used to with great success in the 1800's. Including the "butterfly" ending. Briefly, Edward Norton is seen to be performing Braue Dekolta's, Dekolta Chair, as well. Which is an illusion still being performed today. As far as the mirror illusion, I'm not quite sure if an illusion was performed that was similar to that. Towards the end of the movie where the "Spirits" appear... That was actually performed in the 1800's as "Pepper's Ghost" Actually invented by Henry Dircks in 1862. Hope that answers your question.

We can only speculate, unseen forces like gravity seemed like magic, before they were explained by science. there is much more out there waiting.

Has anyone successfully invented magic?

There is a huge difference between magic and illusion. An illusionist uses mirrors and slight of hand to make things appear to happen 'magically'. But it is not really magical. Real magic takes someone schooled in the occult, usually it involves something dark and evil. An illusionist is entertaining, an occultist is better left alone.
