No it's a movie about Magicians and how they perform their slights of hand. The movie goes out of its way to explain time after time how they performed their illusions. like how picking the guy randomly out of the audience was all an elaborate set up.

Doing physically impossible things in real life situations like throwing playing cards dozens and dozens of feet for knife like results or "instantly" switching your dual chained shackles onto your interrogating cop aren't slights of hand.

They are impossible so they are true magic.

The movie can't have it both ways. Tell us it's all distraction and illusion and tricks then ask us to suspend belief cause sometimes it's really magic. WTF?

Anyway some of us will just have to agree to disagree on this dog. I've already spent too much time on it and now it's leaving an even worse taste in my mouth!
