Remember, Borden was going on about his trick way before he actually started doing it. IIRC, he introduced her to his manager/twin before they were married (but I could be wrong about that).I also think it's implicit that the two men were masquerading as one another prior to him meeting his wife due to a couple of other things- the rope error that led to Angiers' wife dying (one twin had been told not to do the knot, the other had not), and him immediately identifying the Chinese magician's secret (knowing that the man was living his life pretending to be something he wasn't- a cripple- all for the sake of a magic trick.)Then again, looking at it now, I guess I could see a different interpretation of those events as well. That's one of the things I love about this movie- even weeks later, it still makes me think.</blockquote>
