1	* The demonstration of the humungous [[ShockAndAwe Tesla Coils.]] In fact, pretty much all of UsefulNotes/NikolaTesla's stuff as portrayed in this film.
2	* Borden's execution (and revenge):
3	-->"Any last words?"
4	-->"Abracadabra."
5	-->'''[==]BANG[==]'''
6	* Michael Caine's closing monologue.
7	-->Now you're looking for the secret. But you won't find it because of course, you're not really looking. You don't really want to work it out. You want to be...fooled.
8	** Cut to "Analyze" playing over end credits.
9	* In hindsight, Cutter being able to guess the secret of the seemingly impossible Borden's act right from the start - and then never wavering - can be counted as this.
10	** One can actually argue that really the best magician in the film is Cutter.
11	* The first trick we see is one with a bird in a cage that gets crushed, and it goes off without a hitch, the audience loving it... except for one boy who is crying, and asks where the (now shown live) bird's ''brother'' is. He figured it out watching it just once.
12	* The first times that you see "The Transported Man" and "The Real Transported Man" tricks played out in full.
13	* Borden's bullet catching trick, and how he addresses his first volunteer to fire the gun.
14	-->'''Borden:''' Are you man enough, sir?\
15	'''Angier:''' Yes I am.
16	* Borden sabotaging "The New Transported Man", upstaging Angier and promoting his own act in the process. It was a completely dickish thing to do, but very cool all the same.
