The Prestige/Trivia
- Acting for Two:
- Bale as the Borden twins. See Fridge Brilliance tab.
- Jackman plays both Robert Angier and his double, Root.
- Actor Allusion: After impressing Angier and Cutter with his ability to mimic the magician, Root delivers the Shakespearian lines My liege, I did deny no prisoners. This is the beginning of Hugh Jackman's go-to soliloquy for when he has to audition for a part.
- Dueling Movies: One of two period pieces that focus on magicians to come out in 2006 (along with The Illusionist, which is actually quite different).
