1 Why do "fallon" and "borden" take turns to be the villagers? In fact, in the performance of Angie and the drunkard substitute, it reveals the common psychology of magicians. No one wants to hide themselves under the stage and let the substitute stand on the stage. Enjoy the honor of the audience's "surprised expression", and in the part where Borden and the alcoholic stand-in were talking in the bar, Borden even told the truth, saying that he once had a stand-in, but he was not willing to just be a stand-in. To steal the limelight and change the scenery, it is fallon. The difference is that Borden can endure the sacrifice of this "dual personality" deformed life, but Angie can't, he can't even bear the applause of the audience as a stand-in. This is also why they feel different when they talk about Chinese magicians.
2 "fallon" and "borden" are definitely twins. I don't think this needs to be discussed. When Angie went to Tesla, Tesla had not yet built the machine. His experiment was still in the stage when the electric current passed through the human body without causing harm. Angie waited for a while. Time, he said it takes time to build a machine, and some time later, Tesla showed off the cap-clicking experiment, saying it was a "maiden show", but nothing happened to the cap except that it wasn't burnt (it's actually already somewhere else) A copy happened, they just didn't know it), so they thought it was the machine that was at fault. When the cat was burned with electric shock, they all thought it was unsuccessful, and Angie said helplessly: He hoped that the money he spent was worth the money. Tesla didn't know that such a result was produced until he discovered the copied cat and many copied hats in the back of the mountain. Some of those hats were scorched and some were not, which represented their different progress during the experiment. Imagine if They already knew that there was a replication result, so how could those hats be randomly discarded in the back mountain, at least they should be placed in the room for research. So Tesla changed the direction of research and built a replicator. And fallon appeared very early in the play as the prop master of borden, so it could not be a replica of Tesla's machine.
3 Angie could have understood before he died that borden was not acting alone, so he might have been spared his death in the end (although he ended up dying many times), when borden in prison gave it the secret, he arrogantly tore it up Lose.
