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!
