lilORANG 07/19/17 12:08:03 AM #7:	Also why did Christian Bale send Jackman to Tesla, the only guy who could actually build a badass magic trick.

It also seemed kinda out of place in what was otherwise a really sweet movie of magician one-upmanship. The first question you asked is he was always the lord, he pretended to be a pouper so he could be a magician. I agree with this part too but only partially. I like the little nod to Tesla having big ideas while Edison shut him down but I agree it was unneeded. In its defense though, it fits the theme perfectly. Bale was dedicated and truly appreciated the work magicians put in to their craft. Hence he ~~/they~~ was always a "blue collar" worker and portrayed that perfectly with his trick. All about dedication. Jackman is revealed to be a lord. He likely hasn't had to actually work hard for anything in his life. It explains why he couldn't figure out the old mans trick with the fishbowl and it couldn't be portrayed in any better way than spending an enormous amount of money on "magic" or technology if you believe any of Teslas crazier patents would have actually been viable. Hence the dues ex machina was all about cutting corners or taking the quickest and easiest way. --- Typical gameFAQers are "Complainers that always complain about those who complain about real legitimate complaints."-Joker_X <cite>Zeeak4444 posted [p:883308849] in The Presti...
