Anecdotes
Jonas's "mind-reading" trick, wherein he receives intimate details about his marks via a small radio, loosely follows the exploits of televangelist Peter Popoff, who performed a very similar trick with his wife at the microphone. Popoff's career took a nosedive when he was publicly "outed" on the Johnny Carson show by professional magician and skeptic James Randi, who had managed to smuggle a radio scanner into one of Popoff's revival meetings.

Gaffes
When Will consoles a conflicted Jane by massaging her bare feet in his backyard, an overhead shot shows him rubbing her left foot but when the camera cuts to a medium shot, Will's hand is gently caressing the toes of her right foot for the remainder of the scene.

Citations
Jonas: Look, I run a show here. It's a lot of smoke and noise and it's strictly for the suckers. I've been pulling one kind of scam or another since I was your age, and if there's one thing I know it's how to spot the genuine article because that's what you've got to watch out for. Not the cops, you can always get around the cops. But the one thing you can never, ever get around is the genuine article, and you, kid, are the genuine article.

Crédits fous
During the closing credits, the 'Angels of Mercy' singers are shown singing to a tent full of people (including some of the cast members).

Proves P.T. Barnum's claim about suckers being born ever day.

Religion is big business and this movie just reaffirmed that fact with me. That aside, the movie was great. Steve Martin did a fantastic job as Jonas. I thought the tent scenes and the people witnessing the miracle of much needed rain were very touching. I enjoyed the movie and have seen it many times.
