Early in their careers, they meet and a bitter feud develops as they constantly try to out-do, and even sabotage, the other's acts. The frame story involves the great-grandchildren of Borden and Angier and their investigations into how their own lives have been affected by their ancestors' conflict. The events of the past are revealed primarily through each of the magicians' diaries.
