I just googled it and yes, the cast did indeed learn from a magic consultant. Dave Franco actually became quite good enough with card throwing; that he can now cut a banana in half.
Honestly the Now You See Me movies are just so much fun. Technically the sequel makes a lot of common sequel mistakes but I can't bring myself to hate it. These two movies don't take themselves too serious which really helps. I have rewatched them so many times fr
The whole throw card trick during the security check might broke some laws of physics but you still can't deny that scene was competently well made, hilarious, and pretty entertaining to watch even when it doesn't make any sense 😂
Probably my favourite aspect of the Now You See Me movies was Brian Tyler's theme song that was played in the end credits. It's incredibly catchy and fits the heist vibe for the movie. Definitely one of the most underrated theme songs ever
The only thing I remember from this movie is the security trick when they are getting patted down. When watching it wasn't the trick that was impressive, it was impressive just HOW LONG that pat down took to get done. Even the guards were like "Why is this taking so long???".😂
The whole card craziness scene was designed by David Copperfield and one other card magician. All of the moves involved are legitimate. The palming and hand flips and all, the card throwing. Even sliding them down sleeves. Strung together like that though, damn near impossible, so obviously multiple takes. Definitely took some doing. But amazing to watch. And the social engineering to keep the guards off their guard and distracted at the right times. Down to the planning of the wallet to trip the sensor right as the card goes through.
When I found out Harry Potter was gonna be in this one I couldn't resist and took my sister to go see it in theaters. We all got giddy with excitement during that card heist trick and collectively just clapped at the end of it. What a scene.
What I don't mind about the Morgan freeman twist in this film is that it feels like the twist from the first film and so makes it feel more like a pattern of twists rather than a retcon.
Also, remember that the safe taken from the magic shop, the one they put Dillan in, is the prototype. The safe used in his father's trick was defective.
10:03 what I love about this scene and the heist scenes in general is that so much of the disguise is confidence. Act like you belong there and (if the place you're in is big enough) people won't realise that you don't.
I believe there’s a 3rd one in the works, Jesse Eisenberg mentioned in an interview he couldn’t wait to start filming the third film because he was so comfortable & could lower his antidepressant dosage
watching this movie in theaters made me realize that I LOVE when Daniel Radcliffe takes on an antagonist/villainous role! Look, I like him in the Harry Potter franchise, but watching him in this movie and in The Lost City made me love him when he plays the bad guy!
I adore both of these movies. Showed them to my teenage boys and they both really enjoyed them as well. So great. I do wish they'd make a third, but only if it's as good as these 2.
This movie is fun as hell, as long as you ignore the fact that they used a *_BIG_* shoehorn to try to line it up with the story in the first one (which still doesn't really work) and that a number of the magic tricks are basically just magic now.
When Danny falls backwards and he evaporates into the wet ground leaving his clothes behind.... Criss Angel did a similar trick on his mom's birthday in Vegas. He had lit himself on fire, walked around a bit then fell forwards onto the ground. When the firefighters put him out there was only a pile of clothes left on the ground and Criss HIMSELF was the fire fighter closest to the camera. He reveals himself right after the fire is out out. It was also a seamless live shot. No cuts.
thing with Criss is that almost all the tricks are Video/TV only … hire enough audience with thousands of dollars NDA’s and hide all the cuts and stuntmen work from the final footage.
I really liked the detail that the name of the watch company on Dylan's Dad's watch was "EPACSE" which is "ESCAPE" backwards. Really cool little detail that I had to pause on to notice but still neat
My favorite part besides all the magic tricks (Rain, card trick etc) is after Morgan Freeman says to Mark "My suggestion, however, is that you find yourself a successor & Jesse walks in. I love the Daniel & Dylan's relationship sm.
IDK if Dave Franco himself is doing it physically, but yes, the jumping card thing is something magicians can actually do. the card trick thing in the security room a lot of them are actual real slight of hand card stuff magicians do. I don't recall if the cast actually did it themselves but I know a couple magicians have watched that clip and made comments on it, though I forget what they said about it. As Andrew said, from what I understand they are working on a sequel with Doctor Strange himself Benedict Cumberbatch as part of it, as well as a spin-off with a full Chinese cast with the Li character from this movie as a major cast member.
David Copperfield and another magician whose name I can't remember at the moment worked on this film. They designed that scene using all real card moves... they way they are strung together and all wouldn't really work, but the individual moves are completely legitimate. He did a video on youtube breaking down magic in films.
@@mycroft16 you may want to read my comment again, I literally say they are real card things and that magicians have gone through the scene and made comments about it and such. In other words I basically said all of what you said already, but much more simplistically.
Every time i rewatch this movie i think how they did not have to go as hard as they did, and yet here we are!! Every magic bit is fully thought out and choreographed so well (regardless of the real world physics implications lol).
My absolute favorite thing about any RR video is watching the body language of the person not speaking during the intro. It’s so awkward and I love it.
the only pothole is how jack could be on two places at once ..he was still playing find the lady , beside that loved the films and hope the third one will be as good too
See what I personally think it was, was Lionel Shrike was supposed to be in the safe Dylan was placed in this movie But they mucked up which safe was the prototype and which one was the real one.
heist movies have gone crazier and crazier up the scale since Ocean's Eleven. next up, they gonna be like Ocean's 40. "We gonna rob every casino in Las Vegas, at the same time, in one night."
I think you missed the fact that in the first movie, they say that Morgan Freeman was a failed magician. and Ruffalo's character kind of says he failed as a magician so he started using his knowledge to take magicians down with his whole expose the magic stick.
I LIKE THE ORIGINAL MUCH BETTER! My biggest turn off for Part 2 was Woody Haroldson(sp) playing as his own twin brother was a little too goofy for me... I have been waiting for a part 3 that gets back to a more serious tone with a whodunit structure like the first one. MAKE PART 3 HAPPEN!
Didn’t they establish in the first movie that Morgan Freeman’s character Thaddeus was a former magician turned magic debunker? Of course he knows how to do tricks himself.
He is referencing to a story that Michael Caine told about a party he was in and the hostess thought he was a drug dealer because she misheard him introducing himself, as my cocaine
Omg hi Tara and John welcome back we missed you guys so much, it’s been a long time, I haven’t seen Now you see me it’s very new to me, I love your movie reactions so much, keep up the good work, you deserve more subscribers from us, the actors did a fantastic job, I have some unfortunate news my pet bunny Lily sadly passed away, she was a good girl, I’m still sad 😭💔 sometimes it’s very hard for me.
Fantastic reaction I absolutely love this movie really enjoy it 😊❤🎉 it's a real shame isla Fisher couldn't be in this movie she was pregnant at the time congratulations to her 😊❤🎉

Dave Franco did all his card tricks himself. He showed on Conan or Kimmel or something throwing cards and he still got it after all the time.

Are the common sequel mistakes
I really liked this one, possibly even more than the first
Yeah… like not calling the movie “Now You Don’t” 😂
@@vjones4769At least the third one could be called "Now Neither Do"
@@vjones4769if I’m not mistaken, they wanted to but the marketing team didn’t wanna use the word “Don’t” in the title according to the director

Daniel Radcliffe is somehow good at playing bad guys. His performing in "The Lost City" is outstanding too.
The third movie is finally in process and is confirmed to be starting soon 😊
Now you see me 3 has a nice ring to it, but to keep continuity it would be great to see Now You Don’t.
I hope they cast Isla and Lizzy on the 3rd one 😭

This is such an underrated franchise. Hopefully they keep up the momentum with the third one.
Love waking up to Tara and Andrew reacting to Now You See Me.
@TEXT-ABOVE.. Stop. 🚫🚫 You are not Reel Rejects quit trying to scam people
This franchise is so much fun!! I don’t know why they haven’t done another one.
They are.
HOPING THEY FINALLY MAKE NOW YOU SEE ME 3!
nysm 2 is lowkey in my top 5 fave movie i really hope they make a third one
They are! It’s confirmed!,
Great Reaction Tara and Andrew! I prefer the first movie over the sequel but this movie is still fun! 👍
Morgan Freeman is a Magician on the 1st movie. He said that. He stopped on being a magician for some reason, and he became Magician Exposer.
Per David Copperfield, the vault scene was 200 takes
I absolutely LOVE Tara! She is such a solid addition to this channel!
When I saw you guys react to the first one I was so excited to see you guys react to the second! Loved this journey!
Dave Franco did actually learn card tricks and he got really good at it.
the only pothole is how jack could be on two places at once ..he was still playing find the lady , beside that loved the films and hope the third one will be as good too
Now You See Me 2 is a great film. Seems like all of you had a good time.
The Horseman are the magician of Robin Hood and the thieves. I love these movies ❤
Not really a reach but Woody's twin brother Chase is a nod to Matthew Mcconaughey. They're good friends in real life.
you guys are the only react channel that i enjoy, mainly bc you guys dont PAUSE EVERY 5 SECONDS.
love you guys. keep it up!!
See what I personally think it was, was Lionel Shrike was supposed to be in the safe Dylan was placed in this movie
But they mucked up which safe was the prototype and which one was the real one.
51:03 oh my god the movie intro was never a revenge story but rather a revelation
The third movie entered into Pre-Production in mid November but no release date for it has been announced yet.
heist movies have gone crazier and crazier up the scale since Ocean's Eleven.
next up, they gonna be like Ocean's 40.
"We gonna rob every casino in Las Vegas, at the same time, in one night."

I love "now you see me" so much . I can rewatch these movies so mane times . There are logical mistakes , but i can't hate them
So glad you guys watched the second one! It’s such a good movie
i was so excited to watch this i’ve been waiting since the first now you see me video!
SAD THAT ISLA FISHER WAS NOT IN THE MOVIE!
They could still call the next one Now You Don’t or Now You 3 Me lol 😂
I LIKE THE ORIGINAL MUCH BETTER! My biggest turn off for Part 2 was Woody Haroldson(sp) playing as his own twin brother was a little too goofy for me...
I have been waiting for a part 3 that gets back to a more serious tone with a whodunit structure like the first one.
MAKE PART 3 HAPPEN!
It totally agree!! They could have had another mentalist character rather than try to “parent trap” it.
I Remember When I Watching Now You See Me 2 On Movie Theaters In 2016
I love that this guy looks like Jon and sounds like Greg
Do you prefer this over the first?!
Hi
Lmao I think the first one is probably better objectively speaking but I can't really decide. Both movies are just so much fun
I like both equally!
This one definitely has cooler tricks and twists
Didn’t they establish in the first movie that Morgan Freeman’s character Thaddeus was a former magician turned magic debunker? Of course he knows how to do tricks himself.
I was actually in London when they filmed the parts for the movie! I’ve never actually looked but I might be in the background somewhere
Why does Andrews saying "Michael Caine" sound like "My cocaine"?😂😂
He is referencing to a story that Michael Caine told about a party he was in and the hostess thought he was a drug dealer because she misheard him introducing himself, as my cocaine
I have also heard that if you say “my cocaine” you sound like him saying his name, accent and all. 😂😂
13:10 you could never put a magician into a corner
Well i certainly love to now see you two reacting to the sequel!
The second film is like the one where Harry Potter is. That's why he's the new dark lord 😂
Can’t wait for the 3rd one which was just announced apparently.
Please watch more Daniel Radcliffe movies! He us such a great actor. I really recommend
JUNGLE (2017)
IMPERIUM (2016)
KILL YOUR DARLINGS (2013)
Dudes Michael Cain eimpression is really funny "MYYYYY COCAINEEE!!"
im so happy they’re making a 3rd one i loved these movies
29:34 😮😮😮so that’s how
0:29 this triggered my PTSD from frozen 2
Perfect timing, I just watched it a few hours ago.
My immediate thought when i saw the first one was Morgan Freeman was the guy and it payed off in the second movie

YES THAT IS HARRY POTTER!
Does the plot make sense? NO
Does it matter? NO
