We're going to analyze the movie, Prestige, 2006, by my favorite filmmaker of all time and storyteller, Christopher Nolan.  Unbelievable how many layers there are in Prestige, and it's all about magic.  It's all about stagecraft.  It's all about consent.  So today, on 9/11, we're going to mix the willing suspension of disbelief, stagecraft, magic, and what real magic is, what true magic is.  What magic isn't truly disappointing.  

Act I, The Pledge; Act II, The Turn; Act III, The Prestige.

We'll take a look at David Copperfield when he made the Statue of Liberty disappear exactly 18 years before the Twin Towers demolition in April 1983.  Prestige, of course, is based around . . . no one is legit?  Beyond.  He's doing it on so many levels.  He's speaking to a behavior, a frequency of understanding, like the best in the business.  He speaks to the smart boys who see more layers to it.  And then he speaks to other craftsmen.  It's not going to be about how Tesla was really his assistant.  In the end, the whole movie does a magic trick on you, and I can prove it.  And it has to be honest, engineered meticulously for it to work, same with 9/11.  What a wonderful day, and my post office box was empty today.  Epic gravy this week.  On Monday, we examined Amadeus to love God, the gamma Salieri, and Mozart, and we took a deeper look at what and whom the threats were coming from and what genius actually means.  

It's Icarus.  It's Nimrod.  It's Lucifer.  It's the same story.
