The Prestige (part 2): Confessions of an Illusionist

This week, we are diving deep into the final act of the magic rivalry that redefined obsession. How far would you go to protect a secret? Would you live half a life, or perhaps, end one every single night? 

Hear Jen gasp at the revelation of the machine's true cost! Hear Joe yell about those creepy, water-filled tanks in the basement! Hear Tom analyze the layers of deception as we compare Christopher Nolan’s cinematic puzzle to the original literary adaptation! 

We explore the foreboding presence of the Tesla machine and the chilling dedication of Victorian London’s most ruthless illusionists. Is it commitment to the craft or total madness? We break down the differences that make this a must-watch (and must-read) thriller. All that, plus the shocking truth about whether the cat actually survived the teleportation!
