00:03Do you play a character who's like the greatest sleight of hand magician in the world and he is
00:09he's a guy who'd been practicing his magic since he was like five years old every day for eight
00:13hours so he has like kind of developed an attitude of superiority because he's earned the right to
00:19think he's the best because he is and so it's kind of fun to play that because it gets you
00:22it allows you to like live out the fantasy of feeling like you're great at something
00:26if you deny yourself feeling that in your own life. I learned some tricks that I guess I practiced
00:33enough to the point that a year after I still kind of retain some like muscle memory when we're
00:38performing these shows because we play these magicians who perform these big shows you know
00:43it feels like original and fresh and even over the course of like weeks of shooting the same show it
00:47still kind of feels like interesting to us. Yeah right so there's these I guess abandoned warehouses
00:52in Queens called Five Points where they let you know they're like graffiti artists tag it legally
00:56and the art there is incredible and I'm from Queens and so I would pass it all the time and
01:02yeah to be able to shoot there we filmed on the roof of this building it was like incredible
01:08especially because I think probably vulnerable to whatever thing is going to be moving in there
01:14like a high rise. Yeah it's strange to film a movie in the city in which you live because
01:19it gives you the false illusion that you're really like in control because they block off streets
01:23and then the next day when there's no movie or food on the street you realize that you're not
01:26only fending for yourself but it's the scariest city in the world.
