Sigh - I feared that's how it ended, and so like it a little less. Where the illusionist annoyed me with CGI Magic to make you think the trick is real (and not just the trick), this annoys me in the introduction of a lame fantasy element to complete the story - it would have been much better as another elaborate trick. I mean, if you had that Tesla Machine magic tricks would be the last thing you'd do with it.

Hence why The Prestige was a better book. Vague spoiler:

Spoiler:

It was used for more than just magic, in the end.
