* While in prison, Borden manages to pull a [[{{Troll}} prank]] on one of his guards using some sleight of hand and a rubber ball.
-->'''Guard:''' (''flipping through Borden’s notes'') I’m gonna learn all The Professor’s secrets.\\
'''Borden:''' Only if I teach you how to read.\\
'''Guard:''' (''unimpressed'') They’re just stupid tricks, aren’t they? Haven’t helped you get out of here, have they? (''picks up the chain binding Borden’s shackles to the table and jingles it'') Or can’t you undo real locks, Professor?\\
'''Borden:''' Well, maybe I’m only biding my time. Maybe one day, I’ll just… (''produces a rubber ball'') open my hand, get your attention, ask “Are you watching closely?”, (''tosses the ball a couple times'') do a magic whirl or two, and then I’ll be gone! (''makes to toss the ball a third time, though it has seemingly vanished. Then it drops and he starts scrabbling under the table for it'')\\
'''Guard:''' (''chuckles'') How’d you get so famous, then?\\
'''Borden:''' (''backs away from the table, showing the recovered ball- '''and''' his unshackled hand'') Magic.\\
'''Guard:''' (''starts forward only to find that Borden’s shackle is around his foot, chaining him to the table'') OI! BORDEN, GET BACK HERE! (''the inmates start laughing- including Borden, even as some other guards take hold of him'') SHUT UP! WHERE’S THE BLOODY KEY?!
