• The character Ronny Roman's top hat is actually a genuine antique silk hat made in Paris, France by A. Cassé in the early 20th Century.
  
  
• This was the last film that Alexander Anderson worked on.
  
  
• The interiors of Ronny Roman's apartment were shot in a rented Motel room, as this was the easiest way to secure an appropriate location.
  
  
• Actor Matthew Sunderland, who played Lemuel, ate large amounts of fried chicken to put on weight for the role, and exercised intensively to lose it again for his next role, which was the lead in Out of the Blue. He was the heaviest and lightest he has ever been for the two consecutive roles.
  
  
• The film was shot in 23 days.
  
  
• Georgie Hill, who played Sarah March, was asked to audition for the role after working as costume designer for several months and the director asked her to read a scene for the role.
  
  
• The character of Sarah March, aged 9, was created after the casting for Charlotte, aged 10 when Shelby Sparnon, who came in to audition looked so close to Georgie Hill's appearance at that age that the director decided to utilise the similarity. Although Georgie Hill had blonde hair as a child, Shelby Sparnon, who was also blonde, had to dye her hair brown to make it more believable for audiences.
  
  
• Michael Hurst has no eyebrows or sideburns in this film as he was also working on the show Maddigan's Quest at the time. His character in Maddigan's Quest was an android and required him to have no eyebrows of hair on the sides of his head. This gave his character a creepy, surreal appearance in The Last Magic Show.
