Trivia
David Copperfield told some very confidential secrets for some magic tricks in the film, so confidential that he had them sign secrecy contracts.

Goofs
Burt'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 credits
During 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.

The silliness everyone in the family enjoys deserves more than a 5 rating

We're too harsh on comedy titles, we want them to be perfect and epic. It is okay for comedies to be silly, stupid and out there at times. We never hold the same standard for thrillers we watch the same formula plots over and over again and still be okay with it. But with comedies oh no why did they do that , its stupid. As apposed to the 1 min hacker of pentagon in every film.

It's a genuinely funny the story of two life long friends and magicians who share a magical act and are threatened by the modern chris angelisc magician played by Jim Carrey. I cannot think of another person playing the role.

A story of a long lost love for magic dusted by fame and money over the years. Steve carrel is his awkward a bit toned down 'The Office' self trying to get back on his feet and getting a little help along the way.

A great Sunday watch with the family.
