That's what I thought, but then I found out there's going to be a third movie.

Would have been funnier if Morgan Freeman's character went inside the sarcophagus, and when the dude opens it up and he's still there.
"Oh hello there friend, I didn't expect company in here."
This made me laugh. Nice work.
"what are u doing under the table?"
"Uhhhh"

I remember watching now you see me 2 and being so confused how he was able to stop the rain because the explanation was using frequencies to create the illusion the water was stopping but the people put down the umbrellas and they were like “wow it’s not raining anymore” he’s more than a clothing wizard, he’s a weather wizard
Actually, now that I think about it, doesn't this trick only work when you have water dripping from a consistent spot, like a faucet? Rain drops are distributed randomly, so even if you used a strobe light, unless every next raindrop happened to fall in the exact same place with the exact same timing as the previous ones, the effect wouldn't work...
@@HalucygenoI haven't seen the movie but they mentioned using rain machines
@@orangenostril Ah, sorry. I also hadn't seen the movie. Using rain machines makes sense.
The real explanation is, everyone was on it. FBI agent, interpol agent, baddie, henchmen, security, crowd, filming crew, you, me...
@@Halucygeno nah using rain machine doesn't make sense neither cause rain machine also don't drop waters consistently. the effect work for single droplet is because the droplet is being space consistently. There is no possible way in physics with the random motion of air and water turbulence to have thousands of water droplets at different position in space to all synchronize in drop rate . Also the biggest thing is if they use a rain machine, the only thing they need to do to stop the rain is to stop the machine lol no need for some kind of trick with strobe light lol
I love how in movies, all anyone has to do is put on a security-guard or police uniform and none of their colleagues ever seem to wonder who this total stranger is.
😂
The Craigslist construction worker heist is an example of it working in real life. They nearly got away with it but they didn’t pull it off completely.
@@outlawMovies That's kind of a special case to say the least. I'm talking about putting on a cop or security-guard uniform to get access to a building and somehow none of the other cops or security wonder who the hell you are.
@@valmarsiglia because if you're wearing the uniform and walk around like you're familiar with the area, you naturally give off the false impression that you belong there when you don't.
security guards reeeeally aren't as adept as you think they are. most of them are not actually there to actively prevent crime as it occurs, they're there to deter it from happening
@@ApexGale OK, put on a police or security uniform and try to walk around a high-security area, tell me how it goes. 😅

THANK YOU I was looking for anyone to have said it already bc it's true and should be said. That being said, his shout of "She's A Witch!" Needs to be immortalized as a gif.
Oceans Eleven is one where you want to follow the heist and pay close attention. Now You See Me is one where you switch off your brain and enjoy the spectacle
Imagine a crossover though
My ex loved these films, first of many red flags.
@@samw363 Ok
13:40 Imagine if he opened the sarcophagus early and Thaddeus was just crouched down scribbling "YOUR MO" onto a napkin
i laughed out loud
Your mom
Then he would probably just snap his fingers and disappear like Dobby
Hishe needs to do that lmaoo
It's been a while since I've seen the films, so maybe it's already been done, but a scene like that could be interesting, where it looks like one has been caught mid-trick, but in reality that was also another trick. Like if he opened it and Thaddeus was crouched there, he grabbed him by the collar to yank him up and just yanked up a suit with nothing inside and he was gone. It feels like something they either have done and I forgot, or they should have done just to wind up people who want to complain about minor things. *cough* sins of the cinema variety *cough*
You can even plot them to the different schools of magic!
Jack Wilder: Conjuration
McKinney: Echantment
J. Daniel Atlas: Transmutation
Lula: Illusion
Now, if we could just get a Necromancer in there somehow...
Henley Reeves: Necromancy. She clearly died to those pirrhanas (no idea how to spell that), but she had cast Contingency with Revivify before the show, and then used Misty Step to appear in the crowd
I love that this dude knows that breaking down a movie like this is silly and is just doing it for fun. “Zooming through the table is impossible” and immediately moving on had me laughing.
They’re definitely all wizards of different levels though.
The fact that the sequel isn't called "Now You Don't" is a missed opportunity
It'd be clever, but it wouldn't act as a good movie title for anyone who wasn't aware of the first movie. They want to make sure the connection is crystal clear for everyone so no confusion arises. They could've called it "Now You See Me 2: Now You Don't", but that seems a little long

This film making 700 million is the true magic trick, the studio hired real wizards for that
Listen, if I was at a magic show, and the magician "hypnotized" me to jump to action and tackle a guy that said "freeze" and then those magicians gave me $10,000, I'd definitely jump to tackle the guy that said freeze
Same. Really that scene works as a hypnotism act since from the point of view of the audience it is all still part of the show. Hypnotism basically is the performer inviting you to be in on it and perform as well.
Take that and the fact that the show went off the rails pretty hard and everyone got money I'd bet that at least some of the people would tackle the coo
So you say it’s not real magic, its just money?
@@alaskaiscold_9296 money magic IS real magic

And also Zatanna from DC Comics!
With great power comes great responsibility
That actually describes my D&D sorcerer who makes money as a stage magician.
It's perfect because you can come up with a plausible notreallymagic explanation. Then if someone tries to Penn and Teller your trick you can magic into existence new plausible explanations on the fly.
You are possibly the most menacing film critic I've seen with your boldly uncut pauses where you stare into my soul. 10/10

Dylan not knowing how to follow Thaddius into the trick sarcophagus is a key moment. Dylan doesn't have to know how trick items work because he's a wizard.
In the banana trick, the banana literally just vanishes between frames, effectively the same as the firepoker and curtain tricks during the first film. Therefore, Jack Wilder is capable of opening rifts between dimensions and easily travelling through the fabric of timespace, but that is still not as impressive as Merrick twitching his eyebrow and knocking a man unconscious

Merit and a bank driver thing is kinda real. He could hypnotize truck guard in advance, for him to pass out the same moment he gonna see him again. Like "next time you see me you'll gonna pass out".
Yeah, except hypnosis doesn't work like that in real life.
The Eye was supposed to be the “keepers of *real* magic”, and they outright say that Mark Ruffalo has real magic, so it’s weird that the sequel acts like there isn’t real magic.
I really wonder if they retconned it.
@@jasdanvm3845 I hope the next sequel they start introducing this real magic
I love how you said Mark Rufallo and not Dylan, implying that canonically Mark Rufallo does indeed have real magic in real life
the fact that they never outright confirmed if those were "real magic" or just super cool tricks themselves was one of my favorite things about the first movie. all the explanation in that one were just done by thaddeus, meaning that they're pretty much just speculations since we never actually saw the process happen outside of his point of view. I liked how ambiguous everything was, showing that even in the end, the magicians never revealed their tricks. them just retconning all that bummed me out when I saw the sequel

@@m4jki316Every day humans overestimate their ability to do something simply because they dislike whatever it is they are spectating. It’s spectacular.
@@user-ty6yn9yu9k obviously it was my first thought and I have no experience with movie industry but this is what comes to Your mind when You watch this kind of nonsense bullshit, especially afer watching many movies that are just well made and the plot makes perfect sense. You cannot convince me that a huge team of filmmakers took at least a mildly serious approach to the writing, all they cared about was special effects and firewroks in every single scene
And to think all they had to do was clench it between their buttcheeks. The guards never checked there.
The thing about the card throw scene isn't that its not doable, its that every single throw was 100 percent accurate and thats the true wizardry.
And that none of the Chinese guards saw the card.
The basic throws and catches are doable (they comlicated some but overall a version of this is doable). And having Luck even if the chances are slim is possible.
The real thing, that makes this impossible is that the card flying around will produce sound. The guards would hear them.
And it was completely unnecessary lol
@@TheSaintBigFoot true why couldn’t one of them just hide it the whole search scene and then do one risky throw through the metal detector at the end
It's why were they even doing it after passing inspection
The comedic timing in this video is perfect I’ve watched it too many times to count
This movie could've been so cool if the characters were legit wizards, not just ridiculously good magicians. Then the movie could lean into the unbelievability of events instead of tiptoeing around it and ending up like it did. I feel like it would've actually grounded the story more, despite being far less realistic, because it wouldn't challenge your suspension of disbelief as much. Also the idea of an urban fantasy heist movie with this cast sounds really damn cool to me
I actully thought that was this movie was about. Real wizard disguising their power as magician stuff
But isn't the whole idea that it's a battle of wits, not real magic. That's actually what I like about the movie. The unbelievable wizard magic were the weaker parts of the movies for me.
@@dannypavlov913 Yeah, agreed. They just need to pick one side, this uncomfortable middle ground works for nobody. Either have it be a realistic battle of wits or an epic fantasy heist movie. Both sound excellent to me.
@Cryer24597 I did but the time cuts got way too messy
I know books are kind of gross, but if you ever want to read about a fantasy-esque heist with wizards, I highly recommend the book “Six of Crows”
You didn't even mention the woman at the very beginning who was hypnotized to not be able to move or talk as she had to watch the fact that her husband cheated on her with her sister, only for her mind to be erased afterwards. That's not just immoral, that sounds like a horror scenario to me.
LMAO WHAT???
hypnotism is a sexual fetish and it is very creepy and gross
What??????
@@BioshockDrill If you have seen the movie you probably can tell what scene I'm talking about.
But basically this Hypnotist guy, hypnotises a woman to not be able to move or talk, then negotiates a payment with her husband for making his wife forget what happened, before telling him that he knows he cheated on his wife. So basically his wife is completely frozen and can't move and has to live through her memories being sold.
This scene is very early in the movie, having a very "look how quirky this guy is" vibe to it, as it's there to introduce the audiences to the hypnotists powers.
This shit is definitely magic. I 100% believe the four horsemen are some sort of wizards from the Harry Potter world
this video is so good, every time i want to just watch the intro, i end up watching the whole thing.
I really enjoyed this. Your style of humor got a lot of laughs out of me
Now I want a film where both real and fake magic are used together and figuring out when it's real or not is a big part of the movie.

@@egoleo6693 There is no real magic tho in Prestige.
@@irishPEDOelf I mean it depends on what your definition of real magic is.

Movie idea: a movie about a master street magician who got pressed into a wizard school after being mistaken as one. He has to keep up this facade of being a wizard or he'll be killed. But with his luck and skills as a performer, he hilariously managed to convince everyone he's a talented wizard so much that he's seen as the chosen one who'll fight some ancient evil or something.
I would watch the shit out of that movie
_Oz the Great and Powerful_ features a battle between the witches, using "actual" magic, and Oscar Diggs/Oz, using stage magic tricks and special effects while convincing them he is a real magician to intimidate them.
Bruh this is like Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun but with wizards instead of demons. I would watch the heck out of this
OMG please inform me if there's a movie like this!
The twist? They knew all along that he wasn't a real wizard, and that's precisely why he has to fight the "ancient evil." Because the ancient evil can sense or negate wizardry or something.
But they had to play along so that he felt obligated to keep up the act and go through with it
They actually influenced the french billionaire to go to Vegas by swinging poker chips in his face for one second while crossing the street. Riiiight
the turnabout sisters theme as the backing track is a brilliant detail mr vader
I’d like to point out the rain trick is also impossible. It relies on water dropping in the same place at the same rate as the strobe. Even if that was somehow possible in rain, in the movie people remove their umbrellas and don’t get wet so ... yeah, he’s a rain god as well.
The issue would be that the strobe lasts *some* amount of time - you would still be able to see the rain falling while the light was on
@@fangere well the trick is based on a real life trick. But again it can't work on something like rain. But its pretty cool when done right.
Not a rain god, just a water bender.
This one others me too. While the water/strobe thing is actually real (you used to be able to get little shelf versions at Spencer's Gifts), all the people who took down their umbrellas and rain coats would still show splashes and evidence of getting wet
In the logic of the movie it was not real rain, but some cleverly positioned sprinklers. On the other point you are right, it is not actually making water go up, so people would feel the rain and get wet like normal
I really enjoy these two movies because they are ridiculous. That said you have convinced me; they are definitely wizards.
I can only describe this films as the most unnecessary films of all time
I'm opposite.
As heist movies go, these two films pissed me off the most, at least in Ocean series they kinda explained the methods and showed the walkthrough, in a more logic and realistic way.
In this? MAGIC. And not just magician's ways but more like JK Rowling ones lmfao. What a lazy way to tell a story.
I f*#king hate them simply because the sequel is called Now You See Me 2 instead of Now You Don't .....
@@fancorzzz 1 word: Plot Convenience.
Magicians and wizards are kind of like warlocks and witches in medieval dark age folklore the Catholic Church absolutely hated those people because they were considered blasphemy to the church back in those days in reality magicians are Magi messengers of the coming second coming of Jesus Christ if you believe that thing in the Bible it's something you would not want to ever read drunk cuz it can give you a nightmares when you think about it in that context.
This is one of my favourite videos on the entire platform.
Flash paper ignited via a heated coil on a ring and thrown makes a pretty decent, fluid fireball.
I honestly thought the end of the first movie, when I watched it, was confirmation that magic was real and that they were going to be fully inducted into it, and then the trailer for the second movie made me think they were going to be going around doing real magic, ngl.

The Legends of Tomorrow are too busy having fun to care about your joke.
love this video. i have come back to it multiple times. so funny, and entertaining!
I can't get past the usage of the phrase "CHI BLAST". Incredible video!!!!
i like the idea that they were scoped out by the eye because they had untapped potential for real magic that was seeping into their street magic, making their weirder stunts go from mildly plausible to completely believable, and by the second movie they've been taught how to harness it properly and use it more easily
oh i love this take
This is what I always thought. They were just average people who got into street magic and eventually figured out magic is real
Now this makes sense
So are we saying theres a chance top magician in real lifemight be slight wisards
@@deltaloraine That's literally just headcanon, though. It makes the movie make sense.
Unfortunately, the movie kinda fails for requiring us to come up with a headcanon that solves its many plot holes.
The fact that the sequel was not named “Now You Don’t” is the biggest sin of them all
ANOTHER ONE OF US. I will forever be disappointed in them for the missed chance for the perfect sequel title.
That'd be as cheesy as Iron Man saying, "No sh*t Sherlock" to Doctor Strange
@Souven Tudu no they didn't do it,but it'd probably really cringe if they did
@@derrilazkia1002 That's actually really funny that 2 Avengers both played Sherlock Holmes
It's because they had a third one planned lol
“Default old guys of Hollywood” is diabolical
@ 12:21 -- funnily enough Lionsgate, the studio behind this series created a stage show of Now you see me that toured around china. I worked on it. Some the the acts were meant to replicate scenes from the film, it was meant to have this whole over arching plot but in the end preproduction for the show ran out of time and money and the show was just random acts back to back basically.
The Pirannah trick is actually pretty explainable when you realize that actual piranhas don't eat people, so you swap her with a body double with a trick tank of some kind, start flailing for drama, light up a few blood packets, and the actual magician hides in the audience. The hardest part would be when and how they did the swap, but considering actual magicians have found ways to do similar things, so it's workable.
The piranhas were audience plants
@@YEs69th420 Every single piranha was paid off beforehand and they're acting as hard as possible. You look in the tank afterwards and you can see them flashing bills at each other to compare who made the most bank off of this gig.
The piranha trick could work like this in real life:
LED screen on hydraulics.
blood capsules.
and trap door.
The top tank has water in it with an led screen that makes it "look" like it's a see through container, but its not.
When it opens up the water covers the front of the glass container for a bit that faces the audience, masking her for a bit.
When this happens it turns on the led screen on hydraulics.
It comes out of the floor behind the glass, but the tank actually has its own section built into it that is see through but has a top and second layer of glass behind it so that water can't get in.
(Think of like those mugs that you put in the freezer that have liquid in them already)
The water covering the front part would mask any inconsistencies in positioning between her in real life and her pre recorded video.
She then squeezes the blood capsules to match the video.
Then, while its playing, she is actually sent through the trap door at the bottom to then reappear in the audience.
There never were piranhas. 😎
And you wouldn't even need a body double. 👍
@@i9incher Super easy alternate situation:
The tank has a smaller 'tank' inside of it, basically, a glass square that the piranhas can swim around. So she goes down into the inner tank, the fish start moving, she flails around to work up some bubbles and sets off the blood pellets for drama, and then she slips out the trap door and into the crowd in the chaos. Even if the water drained out from the inner tank, you wouldn't really be able to see a difference because there'd be water in the outer tank, as well, I think.
That's only technically correct Penn and Teller tried doing a piranha trick and Teller got bit really bad to the point he had to get medical attention, so while piranhas don't eat people jumping in a piranha tank and flailing around would still be incredibly dangerous
The power of white rap 😂

Had me so dead
this video gets recommended to me once every few months and i watch it again.. and again.. and again.. and it goes hard every time
If batman thought me anything, nothing is impossible with enough prep time
I find that these movies are much more fun if you watch them just accepting that they're wizards and can do real magic. Goes from "how are they doing this shit with slight of hand" to "oh he teleported in the curtain, that's fucking awesome"
Even then it still doesn't make sense
@@joshuaperrine2019 Magic doesn't have to make sense, that's why it's magic
@@92brunod cause not every wizard has unlimited powers you fool. You think just possessing magic and bouncing some cards means you can teleport out of a building? No, it's magic based on illusion, not just stupid fucking normal magic
@@92brunod it's magic based on illusion, like what cards tricks are. They're not teleporting out of a building, that's not an illusions, they're gonna make it seem like they walked through a wall or some shit. Seems like you just want to dislike these movies if you missed the point of my comment that hard
@@joshuaperrine2019 bro magic doesn’t make sense it’s magic
Fails miserably at spinning a chair “She’s a witch!” I freaking died 😂
Really hard to spin a chair with out contact. Also alot of the time the chair just fall to the floor.
I paused the video and subscribed😂
Should definitely be easier with a rigid and heavier metal chair tho. Anyone could do it after a day of practice.
@@harlisviikmae6240 thank you! Soon as he said she was a witch for spinning the chair I was like, what? I used to do it with the chairs in school.
It's time for the regular rewatch of this video.
These movies are genuinely moderncore fantasy and I love them so so much. It’s a world where magic does exist but it doesn’t look old timey or medieval it looks like 2015 era technology and sleight of hand. As much as I love the aesthetic of antiquity mixed with modernity, why isn’t there more fantasy where the magic is depicted as looking like it comes from our era. Or is that sci-fi? Idk, I just want more stuff like this where genuinely it’s magic and spells but it’s not done with old books and cauldrons it’s done with leather jackets and television screens
That truck scene with Merit really could've been fixed with a 5 second scene of him talking to the guy driving the truck. He was already dressed as a cop so he could've walked up to the window or had the guy step out. Then he could've kept hiding the wizard he truly is!
Sometimes when you're under pressure you just need to use your wizarding magic and be done with it. No time for chit-chat.
Hard to hypnotize the guy tho if he doesn't understand English since he was French
@@MegaTech81 I mean, it's more plausible than putting him under with a look. Besides, they were planning the heist for a year. He probably had time to pick up some basic french.
It was the lights. Look at the motorcycle’s lights and the reflection in the windshield. I haven’t seen it in years but I don’t think it was ever said that Merritt knocked him out from just looking at him. I think this guy just assumed it.
@@Kokopelli711 so what you're saying is some head lights and light reflections on the windshield can make people sleepy? Damn, I knew i wasn't drunk when i hit that kid and his dog too
The real stage magic is how the movie distract you with all the flashing lights and noise from all the plot holes, and it's all so high quality.
This movie makes me think of when I hear people say something like "KING KONG RIPPED A T-REX'S JAW OPEN! HE MUST BE SO STRONG TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT DUDE ISN'T THAT CRAZY?!?!"
..... not really?.... it's a fictional character..... he could be as strong as the writers imagination wants him to be.
If king Kong is a bad example just replace it with the hulk. I don't understand when people are amazed by a fictional entities strength.
Like it get it might surprise you or something but..... otherwise just wait till the end of the movie or whatever, and just take the whole story as it is, there's not really anything "amazing" when the topic being discussed is just being made up with no limitations applied from the start.
@@nignamedmutt7270 You mean to say it's not amazing or crazy how strong Goku is because he's a fictional character? Can't say I agree, if the character is crazy strong it's exciting coz you can theoretically throw even stronger things at them and get some intense spectacle as a result or even exceed the limits you'd set
Not sure what this has to do with the NYSM movie anyway, but magicians aren't a fictional concept if that's what you mean, wizards are I guess, that's the point of the title, asking the question "are we supposed to believe this could happen or not?"
@@nignamedmutt7270This is just stupid logic. People are amazed because we can’t see that in normal life. Yes it’s obvious that King Kong and Hulk are strong. What’s NOT obvious is the choreography that goes into the making of any action sequence. It is a literal goal of the directors to make certain scenes like that memorable and eye candy. Shit is NOT hard to grasp my guy, people are amazed at the SPECTACLE. Get your head out of your ass and things like that will be a little more clear to you
@@tubester358saitama destroys Goku in every scenario so who cares. Also thanks for proving DB fans really are some of the most obnoxious people to ever suck air.
@@tubester358 i think if the movie shows a guy that can make you fall asleep by just looking at you, and a magic carpet that reveals a portal then, yes, you're supposed to believe none of it is really possible. idk why the director even pretends they're trying to be realistic
I wonder if he actually made the van driver fall asleep using the lights on the motorcycle
"Luckily the chip is roughly the size and weight of a playing card" is my favorite line from the movie.
"You little shit!"
"You little shit!"
"What game you playin'?"
"What game you playin'?"
