The Movie Nut
The Prestige
     "Every great magic trick consists of three acts," Cutter (Michael Caine) tells us early in "The Prestige." "The first act is called 'The Pledge.' The magician shows you something ordinary, but of course it probably isn't. The second act is called 'The Turn.' The magician makes this ordinary something do something extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret-but you won't find it. That's why there's a third act, called 'The Prestige.' This is the part with the twists and turns ... where you'll see something that you've never seen before."
