Until the rope roams free,
knowing I've fought and won,
with my last breath,
my show-stopping words
continue living...
"Abra kadabra"

I love The Prestige...it's a terribly good movie.

"fought and won"
I wouldn't describe the success of a magic trick as victory...I'd describe it as relief, but to each his own...
"show-stopping words"
Indeed...
