Now You See Me (2013)

An FBI agent and an Interpol detective track a team of illusionists who pull off bank heists during their performances and reward their audiences with the money.

Real Magic Training: The cast underwent rigorous training from professional magicians like David Kwong and Keith Barry to perform authentic sleight-of-hand. This ensured that the magic felt real and not just a product of CGI.
Franco's Card Skills: Dave Franco trained extensively to throw cards with deadly accuracy. He could slice fruit mid-air, and the card throwing fight scene in the movie was performed by him without digital effects.
Near-Drowning Incident: While filming the water tank escape, Isla Fisher's chain got stuck, and she nearly drowned. The crew initially mistook her struggle for acting until she pressed the panic button.
Director's "Real Magic" Rule: Director Louis Leterrier insisted on capturing as much magic as possible practically, using CGI to enhance rather than replace real illusions. He worked with illusionists to create tricks that the actors could physically perform.
"Shrike" Easter Egg: During the garbage chute scene with Rhodes and Atlas, a box labeled "Shrike" is briefly visible, foreshadowing the importance of Dylan Rhodes' father before the big reveal.
