Every great magic trick consists of three acts. The first act is called, “The Pledge.” The magician shows you something ordinary, but of course, it probably isn’t. The second act is called, “The Turn.” The magician makes this ordinary thing do something extraordinary. Now, you’re looking for the secret, but you won’t find it. That’s why there’s a third act called, “The Prestige.” This is the part with the twists and the turns. Where lives hang in the balance and you see something shocking that you’ve never seen before.
