He actually references it in The Prestige, it's the guy they go see together at the beginning of the movie

He makes the goldfish bowl disappear, and the key to the trick is he's pretending to be a feeble old (Chinese) man but isn't?

It's been a while since I saw the Prestige. So long ago I still respected Nolan as a filmmaker.

It's just amazing to me that a white dude got so into one-upping a Chinese guy he stole his whole act, including the Chinese part

Crazy. It keeps reminding me of the Dr Who episode Talons of Weng Chiang.

It's a great script but I keep thinking, they couldn't get a Chinese actor?
