After years of waiting for Now You See Me 3, the long-awaited threequel’s release, which is titled Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, is finally here. That means more magic is on the way, and considering it's been nine years since Jesse Eisenberg played J. Daniel Atlas and 12 years since Isla Fisher played Henley Reeves, I had to know if picking magic back up was like riding a bike. It turns out, it’s hard to learn new tricks, and as the Zombieland actor explained that to me, his co-star roasted (and complimented) him.

Ahead of Now You See Me: Now You Don’t’s release on the 2025 movie schedule, I interviewed Jesse Eisenberg and Isla Fisher, and I asked about what it felt like to return to their roles after so many years. I specifically posed a question to the A Real Pain star about picking sleight of hand back up, and I was curious if it was like riding a bike.
