• Balthazar Blake's (Nicolas Cage) car is a very rare vehicle, a 1935 Rolls-Royce Phantom.
• The enormous iron gargoyle was created in two forms: one – a full-size creature equipped with a motor device, the movements of which could be controlled by a computer, developed by Oscar winner John Frazier. And the second, generated by computer coordinator John Nelson.
• Colorful scenes from the Chinese carnival, where the dragon parade comes to life, were filmed over two weeks on Eldridge Street, in the heart of New York's Chinatown. 2,000 people from local Chinese communities responded to the casting call, but only 500 were needed.
• The Encantus, a book of spells, weighs almost 75 pounds (about 34 kg). However, duplicates were also created, one weighing around 10 pounds, as well as a waterproof version.
• Each page of the Encantus had to be aged – for this, the filmmakers turned to experts in medieval books, who treated each page with sand and soaked it with tea.
• Costume designer Michael Kaplan and his team created 10 copies of Baltazar Blake's (Nicolas Cage) long leather cloak. The rings worn by Baltazar were also custom-made.
• Bowling Green, where the large-scale battle of wizards takes place, was the first American public park. It opened in 1733 for “green” bowling. On July 9, 1776, colonists melted down a 4,000-pound statue of King George III, which was located in this park, into military supplies.
• The skirt of Sana Lok’s sorcerer (Gregory Wu) was made of small pieces of leather, painstakingly assembled by hand, row upon row.
