Visible crew/equipment: When Angier goes to Tesla's laboratory and walks to the gate, on the far right side of the fence a figure can be seen, apparently holding something ahead. It seems to be one of the film crew holding a boom mike upright. (00:09:59)
The Prestige (2006)
Plot summary
Directed by: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson, Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, David Bowie
Alfred Borden is accused of killing Robert Angier when he dies during the execution of an amazing trick, "The Transported Man." These obsessively rival magicians' adversity begins when Borden mistakenly kills Angier's wife during a dangerous magic act. Each tries to hurt or kill the other through their own tricks, and each tries to one-up the other. Angier becomes a very successful magician, but only by copying Borden's greatest trick, "The Transported Man." Angier does it using a double, but no one knows how exactly Borden does it. The key to the whole mystery seems to be an inventor located deep in the Rocky Mountains, Nikola Tesla.

Alfred Borden: Everything's going to be all right, because I love you very much.
Sarah: Say it again.
Alfred Borden: I love you.
Sarah: Not today.
Alfred Borden: What do you mean?
Sarah: Well some days it's not true. Maybe today you're more in love with magic. I like being able to tell the difference, it makes the days it is true mean something.

Answer: It's Bale, at least whenever you can see Fallon's face. The same way they do twins played by the same person in any other film.
