About this listen
Magician and writer Eoin Smith joins us for a rich, thoughtful discussion on The Prestige — comparing the novel and Nolan’s adaptation through the lens of someone who actually lives in the world of illusion.
We unpack:
• Why the film’s “simplification” actually strengthens the story
• How real magicians approach method, secrecy, and deception
• Victorian magic rivalries and their modern equivalents
• The ethics of obsession and the sacrifices performers make
• The film’s cinematic craft, performances, and core twist
• Hidden details you may have missed
• The evolution from stage magic to street magic in the 2000s
• Why rewatching The Prestige only deepens its impact
It’s a conversation about craft, creativity, and the magic still hiding in our day-to-day world.
