Who understood the film, The Prestige?

In this movie, did Christian Bale's (Alfred Borden) character had super powers or something? Because, I always thought Hugh Jackman's (Robert Angier) character was too obsessed over his abilities and because of that, I thought "Mmm, he must have some good *** secretive powers to make Angier so obsessed with his work.." But, in the movie, I never really see anything showing Borden has powers. It confused me, but it was a REALLY good movie.
