Cutter: Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts. The first part is called ‘The Pledge’. The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal.
But of course… it probably isn’t. The second act is called “The Turn”. The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you’re looking for the secret… but you won’t find it, because of course you’re not really looking. You don’t really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn’t clap yet. Because making something disappear isn’t enough; you have to bring it back. That’s why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call ‘The Prestige’.
Olivia Wenscombe: wants me to come work for you and steal his secrets.
Alfred Borden: What does he need my secrets for? His trick is top-notch. He vanishes, then reappears instantly on the other side of the stage – mute, overweight, and, unless I’m mistaken, very drunk. It’s astonishing, how does he do it? ~~~ The Prestige Quotes
Robert Angier: Man’s reach exceeds his imagination!

Alfred Borden: No he didn’t. He has it right there.
Boy: But where’s his brother?
