Re: Calling all TESLAPHILES GO see the new movie "THE PRESTIGE"



Original poster: "resonance" <resonance@xxxxxxxxxxxx>


I saw it too last night.

A very interesting movie set in Col. Springs in 1897. About a battle of wits between two magicians who end up using a Tesla coil as a "teleporter".

I think the HV effects were done with rotoscope and not a real Tesla coil. Or perhaps they filmed the inside of a plasma globe and merged the actors.

An interesting movie though --- even featured a touch of the evil "Edison men".

Dr. Resonance



Too much to comment about and David Bowie does an ok job of portraying TESLA. Interesting effects and some great references to the Colorado Springs lab....
