Magicians and Now You See Me - Movie

Unread post by Jamm Pakd Cards »

Hey Everyone,

I have always been interested in card magic but I am a beginner beginner when it comes to the tricks I know. I recently saw the movie Now You See Me and I thought it was pretty cool. I wanted to get the opinions of some Magicians about the movie.

Do Magicians like the movie? Do you think it represented magic tricks fairly for a movie?

Let me know what you think?

Thanks,
Justin

It was an ok movie - but there were too many obvious special effects to really be taken in by any of it - and some of the tricks were obviously impossible - to the point that I though that the big twist was going to be that magic was "real".

Having said that - the first 20 minutes where all the main players are street hustling or doing close up cardistry etc seemed pretty legit.

It was a fun movie the moves and what not in the first 10 mins where fantastic ( thanks to Dan and Dave on the flourishing). The rest of the movie was fun but it seemed a tad to... National Treasure-esk for me. I would add it to my collection but it is far from my favorite magic movie ( The prestige holds the title at the moment)
