In preparation for the third installment of the American heist film 'Now You See Me: Now You Don't,' the cast, including newcomers Justice Smith and Rosamund Pike, spent time at the prestigious Magic Castle clubhouse in Los Angeles, learning magic tricks and illusions. The month-long training session allowed the actors to hone their skills, which they showcased in the film. Justice Smith, who made his debut in the film, revealed that they spent hours learning card tricks, while Ariana Greenblatt, who has received several film award nominations for her role in 'Barbie,' mastered pickpocketing. The film, directed by Ruben Fleischer, features returning actors Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Isla Fisher, and Morgan Freeman, as they continue the story of 'The Four Horsemen' in a high-stakes robbery of the world's largest 'queen diamond.' The cast aimed to create realistic illusions, with director Ruben Fleischer encouraging them to learn as much as they could to make it look as real as possible. In an interview, Dave Franco shared that his years of experience working on the films paid off, and he was able to perfect his card-throwing skills. Jesse Eisenberg emphasized the importance of making the magic look convincing, stating that practicing every day, even the smallest hand movements, was crucial to achieving this goal. The film, distributed by Lionsgate and opening in U.S. theaters on Friday, promises to deliver an immersive experience with its blend of magic and suspense. With the cast's newfound skills and the director's dedication to realistic illusions, 'Now You See Me: Now You Don't' is set to captivate audiences.
