Trivia:
The character Carmichael is unmistakably inspired by the real-life figure James Randi, both in appearance and essence. Randi, a skilled magician turned renowned debunker of psychics, established an institute that challenged individuals to replicate their alleged paranormal abilities under controlled circumstances, offering a substantial reward. Despite decades of attempts, no one succeeded in claiming the prize money.
