I really love this scene and this movie, but I still can’t figure out (because it’s never spoken of) how they got Etienne back into the auditorium without giving away, to him or anyone else, that he’d been under the stage the whole time. Unless that was part of the hypnotic trance he was in, of course…
@@Lelo.Machaka they're talking about after the show was done how they got him from the fake vault back up to the venue without giving away that there was a fake vault underneath the stage
@@Lelo.Machaka I got that part - during the show he was under the stage, and I assume he didn't notice that he plunged downwards like that because he was in a trance at the time, from the moment Merritt slapped his chest when he came onstage. What I'm wondering is how they got him to not notice where he came from when they brought him up from under the stage. That happens off camera, which is mighty convenient, but I still wonder.
This movie is the main example I cite when I talk about how a movie can be simultaneously really dumb yet entertaining. Modern Hollywood could learn from this era of story telling.
It's funny to me that so many people miss the magic of this movie.... They judge it by trying to explain how the magic happened... It's a movie about magic. You don't even know how actual Vegas magic works yet the movie is so great at creating magic with "movie magic" that you look at it with the same scrutiny of actual Vegas magic. This movie is a prime example of why most magic isn't televised... you'll just say it was movie magic.
It’s seriously such a fun movie. Shame the girl wasn’t in the second one, she really tied the whole group together. You gotta suspend disbelief for this movie because it’s just a fun piece of media.
I've seen a lot og good points and plot holes that myself and others have found. However, i don't care. It's one of those films you just enjoy. I remember watching this the first time and was amazed and a bit confused but i loved it. A great popcorn film
Movie plot aside, can you imagine just how amazing it would be if four top ranked magicians teamed up to perform a show together? Think about it: Penn and Teller, Shin Lim, David Copperfield, and Chris Angel, all performing together as a team on a single stage. I'd buy tickets, TONIGHT! That is what this scene truly represents.
The moment that made me chuckle was when Etienne walked up to the money and asked, “Is this real?” And then Jesse Eisenberg responds with, “Yes, looks like 3 million or so Euros’ worth.” Number one, why would he actually respond with “yes” instead of something like, “I don’t know; you tell me,” and have Etienne feel it to sort of confirm its authenticity, and number two, what kind of person knows how to estimate that much money in a huge block like that? Only bankers and the person who actually knows the amount, I suppose.
@@gabrielgamez576 I'm not saying it's a bad movie (I actually like it overall), and what's wrong with pointing out when something in a movie doesn't make much sense? If the horsemen really wanted to convince the audience, they'd do whatever they could to make this not look set up. But Jesse Eisenberg wasn't in the "bank," so he couldn't confirm the money's authenticity, and you'd have to already know what a few million euros looks like in cash to say that so quickly. The line just doesn't fit the fact that they're trying to make it look like they aren't faking it.
@@iliya1933 yes! They are also all let go after due to 'no evidence' when the police question them, yet they had played a clear video feed of an exact replica of the inside of the bank vault during their performance in front of thousands. At the very least the police know they had an intricate knowledge of the inside of the bank vault. No cop investigating a bank robbery would be like ' yeah they knew exactly what the vault looked like somehow but they claimed magic so gotta let them go.'
I would have liked this movie much more if so many of their illusions hadn't been totally impossible. Almost every one could only have been done as a special effect in a movie.
well, think of it this way. when you know how a magic trick is done it may stop being magical but does the idea or concept and method stop being cool? for some maybe. In this same sense, If you didn't know what CGI was and you thought this was real recorded footage like some of us used to, wouldn't it be magical? The movie is about what makes something Magical and how people took for granted the beauty of a secret or method in a trick and because of that it always had to be bigger and more complicated until it cost someone dearly. So yeah we know it's fake, but why not treat it like literally any other movie which are all fake and attempt to just enjoy the idea that some of the methods are real mixed with exaggerated ideas that someone had to think of. I mean we know hypnotism may not be real so didn't you wonder if all the people that were "hypnotized" in this movie were paid actors within the movie narrative? All movies are about the story they tell, so it's not how did the film makers make the magic. It's how would these magicians have performed this if they were to use a mix of known methods. Wondering about how the impossible is done has always been the magic, so I'd dare argue that some of the exaggerated outcomes were necessary in ANY movie about performance magic. If they were to perform real world magic tricks in a movie then it has EVEN LESS entertainment value as a magic movie haha
The first one with the 7 Diamonds card building trick is the most plausible (Multiple 7 Diamonds to Trick the girl, And bribed the technician for the building lights)
I've always wondered how, in universe, they would have made sure he oicked the right card to match the one in the bank, and it only just occured to me that they could have just gotten a bunch of the same deck, took the same card from every one and made an entire deck with 52 of the one card they wanted him to pick.
A card force is a basic trick. If you've ever seen Penn & Teller, they give a nod to their longtime fans by (nearly) always using the 3 of clubs as an indication that they're forcing a card.
It's explained in the movie, but they already robbed the bank and forged his signature before the show. They manipulated the ping pong balls to pick the seat of a man they had been tailing for a while and already knew the bank of.
Becuase 1. Magic show 101, you tell the trick before you do it 2. Have you ever seen someone do that from a Las Vegas stage 3. They are the f-ing 4 horsemen
Yes. Once a truck with many crashed on the freeway spilling money. Many grabbed that money,most were arrested that could be seen in various recordings.
The funny part is that from the audience's perspective this was a really really lame trick. If you're in the audience all you see is a stooge being picked from the audience, then they do a disappearance act, then screen a short pre-recorded video "at the bank", and then money drops from the ceiling. If I was in the audience I'd be seriously disappointed. At least they got their ticket's worth back if they were able to pick up the money. At $3,000,000 it works out at about $150 per person (assuming they're at t-mobile arena).
Did anyone realise the guy that teleported didn't make it back? Maybe they cut the clip early but they show the $ but not the guy returning. And.....if they were smart wouldn't they have that teleported to their vault, not passed onto people who will report them for theft? I just try to get the logic here, if you had that power to do that, Why would you air your crime so that the bank and FDIC etc are coming after you? They could have teleported him into someone's home etc or anywhere else and had the same effect, a beach in bahamas, anything else would have worked also. Silly how they just aired their own crime to a mass audience, then deliver them the evidence they did it.
Sometimes you just miss those good movies all over again.
I love how the movie makes you feel the magic like you are at a vegas show you know its all trickery but it also feel so real

Now You See Me 3 LET'S GO!✊
I always laugh at how the movie is edited to introduce the 4 Horsemen and immediately has them do their final trick.
I think that introducing part for the movie audience and then it jumps into the their final trick and makes sense.
it's amusing yes but it makes sense

Not movies have to have a strong story telling structure
If you are a person who likes thrillers, this movie is definite one you shouldn’t miss. Every minute thriller.

Literally all it would take to ruin the plan was one of the three people to actually read the ball before giving it to the Horsemen
Or a massive crowd crush resulting in hundreds of casualties due to everyone in the stadium trying to pick up the millions of dollars
@@johng5617 people are more civilized in movies lol
They're meant to do it quickly so you don't get to look at the ball. Also forcing a ball is basic manipulation so there's tons of solutions.
@@johng5617 millions of Euros :D

because they already stole the money and they know how much is in there. the place where the guy was, was right underneath them not in Paris.

One of the best opening scene
how to make the audience LOVE you: shower them with millions of uros...
Euros in las Vegas

Yeah that seems plausible and magicians can be good at card counting and memorization
Forcing a card on someone is a very basic magic trick. Just type "card force" into youtube. There are dozens of ways to do it.
This is actually a very standard thing to do in magic even without a trick deck. It's called "forcing" a card.
A card force is a basic trick. If you've ever seen Penn & Teller, they give a nod to their longtime fans by (nearly) always using the 3 of clubs as an indication that they're forcing a card.
The more perplexing thing is how would they know in what direction he would write his signature
Now THAT'S a clip!!!!
Fantastic movie.... i very love it ❤
These movies were good
I like the movie l love that movie so nice beautiful 😍
Is anyone going to talk about how dude never was seen again?
I can, but forgot most of. Was long time ago.
After watching the scene, I want to watch the whole series again.
Actually he was, he appeared at the interrogation scene. Where he then started playing the piano because of the hipnosis
@@Koraki0000Close. He was playing the Violin
@@FlameGirlPlays-gq9xv my bad, weird how I remembered it wrong, maybe I was hypnotised
@@Koraki0000 I wouldn't be surprised lol
The first rule of magic is "DO NOT PUNCH AN OLD LADY IN THE FACE!"
This movie is really smart
Who else is here after watching the sequel?
Did anyone notice the signature on the card is not the same.
YEAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
he had the queen cellphone number ??
I think it was a joke. Since they revered to him as a great man, well, in front of the public at least.
@@joshuaamadeusishak1887 maybe
How'd they get the signed card in the real bank's vault?
Not like the dude changed his signature
Either they forged it or made him sign another card
The one you see they drop in the truck
It's explained in the movie, but they already robbed the bank and forged his signature before the show. They manipulated the ping pong balls to pick the seat of a man they had been tailing for a while and already knew the bank of.
Isla fisher is smokin
What happened to that French guy?
My question is why they will tell people that they are the ones robbing the bank?😂😂
