00:00I want you to pay very close attention.
00:03You are not going to want to miss this next trick.
00:08One of Ruben's goals for this movie was to have as much real magic as possible,
00:13have us do everything practically.
00:16If I had known he was that easy to get rid of.
00:18Not that easy.
00:19That's the brilliant thing, having a guy like Ruben Fleischer.
00:24He's able to come up with these images and ideas.
00:27When I heard Ruben say that, I couldn't fully understand what it meant.
00:31To me it didn't seem that different to kind of do the effect on computers or in person.
00:37There's something about just seeing magic that as a fairly cynical adult,
00:42it gives you this feeling of wonder and awe that I just absolutely love.
00:48But then shooting it in person with the practical effects made me realize
00:51how wonderful it is because there are all these little nuances,
00:55these things that make it feel less glossy,
00:58these details that make it feel less perfect and more real.
01:01We all need magic more than ever.
01:03The showmanship of a magician, the skills of a magician,
01:06we require these actors to really learn magic
01:09because we're doing as much of it in-camera as possible.
01:11Guys, Houdini's straitjacket.
01:14Yes, it is. Hey, can I put you in here for old times' sake?
01:17No.
01:18What was so great about number three is we have three fantastic magicians.
01:21They taught us all the tricks. Everyone worked so hard.
01:24Have I ever missed the card in a rehearsal?
01:27They really wanted this third movie to feel real
01:30and for the magic in it to feel like it's actually magic
01:34that could be accomplished by a performer in a live setting.
01:37You ain't seen nothing yet.
01:39And we wanted the magic to be incorporated into the script,
01:43so it didn't feel like it was like an external thing,
01:46that it was all inherent into what they're doing.
01:49Thrilled, baby! We're thrilled!
01:51What we forget is how hard it is
01:54because there are things that we've been doing for, say, 20 years,
01:57so you think, wait, you just do this.
01:59Well, just doing this is something that we've done for years and years,
02:02and so it's easy to forget how difficult it is.
02:04They're kind of lending their time and talent to us,
02:08and we want to make sure that it's as authentic as possible.
02:11Good as going!
02:13And so while trying to make the magic real,
02:15we also need to make it something that the actors can do,
02:18and, you know, true to the story
02:20and true to the vision that the screenwriters and the director have.
02:24Mind if I just figure this out really quickly?
02:26Ruben wants all the actors to know what they're doing
02:29and to have their magic tricks on lock, which I really respect.
02:32That authenticity, hopefully, will allow the audience to feel
02:36as if they've gone to a magic show
02:38and that they are seeing things unfold right before their very own eyes.
02:50Magic 101, man. Never act surprised when the trick actually works.
03:02Yeah.
