I've seen both films (and read the novel The Prestige), and I liked both, but prefer The Prestige over The Illusionist. I've read the novel The Prestige, and found it both confusing and brilliant - it kept me wondering what was really "true", since the novel is told from the perspectives of Angier and Borden. The book had me fliping back and forth to try and match up the events that both men are recounting, trying to figure out what was going on.

The Illusionist seemed to be very similar to Romeo and Juliet, but with magic thrown in and a happier ending for the lovers.
