The story of The Prestige was loosely based on the story of Chung Ling Soo, one of the most famous stage magicians of the 19th century and an utterly shameless race faker (he has a brief cameo in the first act of the movie)https://twitter.com/MarieMyungOkLee/status/1301607543538683910 …

For my sins, I used to be really into stage magic and harbor thoughts of being a magician someday I remember reading a book by Derren Brown that just goes into hilarious self deprecation about what kind of person makes magic their career

All performers have the inherently childish desire to make other people pay attention to you But magic is the most absurdly desperate and shameless manifestation of it Actors and comedians etc just lie for a living, magicians lie that they have SUPERNATURAL POWERS
