The Prestige: Difference between revisions

* [[Evil Will Fail]]: The more absorbed the dueling magicians become in their vengeance-fueled-rivalry, the more their lives fall apart, until finally {{spoiler|Angier's ingénieur abandons and betrays him when he crosses the [[Moral Event Horizon]].}}

* [[Face Heel Double Turn]]: Angier starts out with the audience's sympathy after his wife dies and Borden just seems to be a Jerkass. But as the film goes on we start to see Borden become more sympathetic as Angier slips even further into revenge.

* [[Fingore]]: The malfunctioning magic trick that crushes a poor volunteer's hand, then Borden losing two fingers, {{spoiler|and subsequently his twin brother}}.

* [[Foe Yay]]: Borden and Angier pretty much personify this trope. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the book when {{spoiler|Olivia tells Angier that he and Borden "are like two lovers who can't get along together."}}
