The Prestige

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.

  1. 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!

  2. Yep, while it's a nice scene, the outcome is a shame. These pictures are a combination of both of her scenes in the film.
