[Angier gives a speech to the audience about The Real Transported Man magic trick] Robert Angier: In my travels, I have seen the future... And it is a strange future indeed. The world, ladies and gentleman, is on the brink of new, terrifying possibilities. [Angier taps the stage floor and the curtain rises behind him] Robert Angier: What you are about to witness is not magic. It is purely science. I would like to invite you to come up on stage now so that you can examine the machine for yourselves. [audience members go up on stage and examine the machine, finally, Angier calmly takes off his jacket, makes his way into the machine alone, in a matter of seconds he vanishes as the audience members murmur amongst each other] Robert Angier: [on the top balcony Angier appears in the spotlight with his arms up] Man's reach exceeds his imagination! [the audience continuously roars and applauds his magic trick]
