The Prestige (2006)
Based on the novel by Christopher Priest (the title of which refers to the final step in performing a successful magic trick), “The Prestige” is much like an illusion itself: it’s reasonably simple, and yet still manages to amaze anyone watching. And much like any standard magic trick, you can even catch the secret of this cinematic illusion by taking the advice of one of its characters at the beginning of the film. “Are you watching closely?”
