Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDavid Copperfield told some very confidential secrets for some magic tricks in the film, so confidential that he had them sign secrecy contracts.
- GoofsBurt's accountant Dom tells him that the $200.00 Bond purchased for him in 1973 by his Nana is only worth $248.00. An E bond (the only type of bond sold in 1973) purchased for $200.00 in 1973 would be worth over $1,000.00.
- Quotes
Jane: [after Gray burns his skin for a trick] That is a terrible trick to do for children. What if they try and copy you?
Steve Gray: I'll sue them. It's my trick.
- Crazy creditsDuring end credits, the reveal to the magic trick on making the audience disappear is shown in action--the audience is knocked out with Kratom gas, tagged, carried or dragged out of the theater, and tossed into delivery trucks to be taken to the remote outdoor site.

Featured review
Basically, this movie - about two warring magicians - got a lot of flack at the box office and was almost branded 'a flop.' Yes, it's no masterpiece. It's not even a comedy masterpiece. Perhaps people expected more because of the talent on display. They may have a point - the film does have a stellar cast and maybe it should have been better, or funnier than it actually is. However, just because it's no classic, doesn't mean that it's not worth watching.
It's light-hearted and easy-going. The gags - while occasionally predictable - are still amusing. You may not have many 'belly laughs' but, if you're in the mood for something that isn't very serious and quite frothy, the film should maintain a little smile on your face all the way through.
You may get a little more out of it if you're a fan of any or all of the actors. Steve Carell and Jim Carrey are top-billed and for a reason - they play their (kind of stupid) parts very well.
My only gripe is that it ran for about ten minutes too long in my opinion. It probably could have been trimmed somewhere in the middle to make it just that little bit tighter. Still fun though.
