Anyone sees him, the game's up. 00:59:37.910 --> 00:59:40.710 I don't know how you do things. I'm not sure I wanna know. 00:59:40.780 --> 00:59:43.110 Have you thought what we should call it? 00:59:43.180 --> 00:59:47.350 There's no point being coy. Borden calls his trick The Transported Man. 00:59:51.260 --> 00:59:54.420 Ladies and gentlemen, much of what you've seen may be termed 00:59:54.500 --> 00:59:58.260 as illusions or entertaining trifles. 01:00:02.940 --> 01:00:03.990 Alas... 01:00:06.170 --> 01:00:08.700 ...I cannot claim this next feat as illusion. 01:00:09.610 --> 01:00:10.800 Watch carefully. 01:00:12.250 --> 01:00:14.680 You will see no trickery, 01:00:14.750 --> 01:00:17.840 for no trickery is employed. 01:00:17.920 --> 01:00:21.290 Merely a technique familiar to certain citizens of the Orient 01:00:21.360 --> 01:00:23.520 and various holy men of the Himalayas. 01:00:26.790 --> 01:00:29.820 Indeed, many of you may be familiar with this technique, 01:00:29.900 --> 01:00:33.060 but for those of you who are not, do not be alarmed. 01:00:33.130 --> 01:00:36.190 What you're about to see is considered safe. 01:01:07.770 --> 01:01:10.830 To our achievement. 01:01:10.900 --> 01:01:13.670 The manager says he's never seen a reaction like it. 01:01:13.740 --> 01:01:17.040 At least he saw it. I spent the ovation hiding under the stage. 01:01:17.110 --> 01:01:19.440 No one cares about the man who disappears. 01:01:19.510 --> 01:01:21.500 They care about the one who comes out. 01:01:21.580 --> 01:01:23.640 I care about the man in the box. 01:01:23.720 --> 01:01:28.020 Thank you. I don't know, maybe we could switch before the trick. 01:01:28.090 --> 01:01:30.250 I'm the prestige, and Root's below stage. 01:01:30.320 --> 01:01:33.260 No, the anticipation of the trick is everything. 01:01:33.330 --> 01:01:36.390 We need your showmanship to build up the suspense. 01:01:36.460 --> 01:01:40.020 Once Root opens his mouth, it's over. He can't introduce this trick. 01:01:40.100 --> 01:01:42.830 Of course I can. I'm the Great Danton. 01:01:42.900 --> 01:01:46.500 Root, you bloody fool, get out of that wardrobe and makeup. 01:01:46.570 --> 01:01:49.240 Anyone could walk in here at any minute. 01:01:49.310 --> 01:01:51.370 Congratulations, all. 01:01:51.450 --> 01:01:55.140 Life is not full of these moments.

It isn't good enough. 01:02:05.530 --> 01:02:08.860 Borden's trick is nothing compared to ours. He has no style. 01:02:08.930 --> 01:02:12.800 He doesn't spend the finale hiding under the stage. 01:02:12.870 --> 01:02:15.770 - I need to know how he does it. - Why? 01:02:15.840 --> 01:02:18.330 So I can do it better. 01:02:20.410 --> 01:02:22.880 I need you to go and work for him. 01:02:25.910 --> 01:02:27.640 Work for him? Are you joking? 01:02:28.920 --> 01:02:30.110 You'll be my spy. 01:02:30.180 --> 01:02:32.380 We just got our start. You want me to leave? 01:02:32.450 --> 01:02:34.550 That's how we advance. Think of it. 01:02:34.620 --> 01:02:37.820 People are excited by Cutter's version. Imagine what we'd do 01:02:37.890 --> 01:02:42.330 with the real illusion.
