Illusion Is Shared Delusion in “The Prestige” (1995 Novel)

Before Christopher Nolan’s film blew audiences minds with its
shocking reveals, Christopher Priest’s book had already been
dazzling readers for over a decade. In episode 311, join Luke
Elliott & James Bailey as they explore the differences, enter
the Pact of Acquiescent Magic, try to heal a generational
rivalry, sabotage a séance, hear whispers from a shadow twin, and
pay the ultimate sacrifice—all for applause. Join them again next
week when they discuss the film starring Christian Bale, Scarlett
Johansson, Michael Caine, David Bowie, and Hugh Jackman!
