Small points of language sometimes glare.
In the movie, "The Prestige" Hugh Jackman's character says they will, "phase it out"... It being a part of their act.
That phrase is out of place in Victorian England.
The movie takes place in 1906 at the latest based on him dealing with Tesla in Colorado Springs.
The thing is, "phase out" dates from 1940 at the earliest. It didn't really become common until they made it one word, "phaseout," in 1951.
