The Prestige was a great movie about two rival magicians in late nineteenth century London that was directed by Christopher Nolan (the Dark Knight trilogy).
Piper Perabo stars as a magician's assistant who gets tied up and has to escape from a water tank.
Perabo is shown being tied up on stage by two "volunteers" (actually a pair of magicians planted in the audience0.
I've long been a fan of women getting tied up in magic acts--especially if they're barefoot, as Piper is here.
The Prestige gives another example where a trick is completely reliant on the assistant, who does all the work in escaping.
The Prestige is an excellent movie overall, and is highly recommended.
Her voluntarily being bound hand & foot while barefoot (in front of an audience too), trusting to rely on her skill to escape, adds a special something of course. Scenarios like that are unusual but weirdly sexy....shame this scene ends sadly for her!
ReplyDeleteYep, while it's a nice scene, the outcome is a shame. These pictures are a combination of both of her scenes in the film.
