'Four Horsemen Bank Robbery Trick Explained' Scene | Now You See Me

[@bloooddmooonn]

[@Chaddingway]

It's such a great detail to notice when you've already seen the movie.

The biggest sin this movie created was having a sequel and NOT calling it, "Now You Don't".

[@MarshallJordan1]

Before I give it away, have you seen this?

[@Asocialite__]

@@MarshallJordan1 Oh I've seen it. And the point still stands. Even if he's heading the investigation, the idea that he'd go "lets not search the stage" and not immediately be overruled is still crazy.

[@capnbilll2913]

​@Asocialite__ A couple things. First the robbery occurred on the other side of the world. 2. What's to search? A stage? Millions of people watched it happen. Take fingerprints? They know who did it. Unless you know how the "teleporter" works would you think to search the basement of a public event center for a sealed room?

[@Asocialite__]

@@capnbilll2913 I don't think the set is "in the basement" I think it's just literally under the stage. And if they arrested the magicians thinking they were guilty, you bet they would at least search the stage to see what they could find.

[@ecwolf8569]

Yo you are detective because despite the times ive seen this movie, never noticed that, fucking batman man

[@five-peace]

I wonder though why Thaddeus could talk so badly about Shrike. He must partially blame himself for his death, whether he could have done something to prevent it or not is not the point but when a friend dies as a result of something you both planned, it would be normal for the remaining one to feel guilty about it. I know he wanted to keep up the facade but considering that guilt, it still feels strange to me he’d keep talking bad about Shrike, thus giving himself more to feel guilty about. Am I making sense? It’s very late and I have no idea if this is comprehendable lol

[@zxad]

@@five-peace I understand what you mean but if you've seen the movie "The Prestige" you'd see the lengths magicians would go to keep the secret of a trick.

[@nicktroisi6347]

[@oliverconway6960]

Well, it takes 30 years to build that up.

[@c.m.9369]

The „hypnosis“ stuff was always the biggest issue I had with this movie. A lot of it is silly fun, just „realistic“ enough that I was able to suspend my disbelief that this stuff COULD work that way. But the hypnosis aspect always was too easy, too convenient, pretty much ACTUAL magic. Even if one believes hypnosis actually works in real life, it should be more than obvious that it can‘t work in the way this movie shows it. And the sequel then showed why: if powerful hypnosis like that existed, you barely would need any other trick, you could just do EVERYTHING via „suggestion“.

[@Howesitgoing1]

So this movie tends to show the exaggeration of magic principles. Hypnotism does work, not on everyone and maybe not that quick but if you take the best hypnotist in the world they potentially could do it to the right person. At 4:02 you can see a palmed ball with a vanished ball really quickly. Possible in real life sure but it would take an insane amount of skill.

[@samuelkingcostums]

@@Howesitgoing1 The ball switch takes almost no skill. She is palming a half shell with a already written number on it and put the ball that the audience picks into it. There is 1 ball and a shell, not 2 balls.

[@1Flyingfist]

Have you ever been to a Derren Brown show, or seen one on TV? It's probably possible, given enough time and preparation. I'd say the reason that people don't use it, is because everyone assumes that it's bollocks. So they never look into it. 👀

[@SirDistic]

Hypnosis does work in real life. It's been proven through MRI's and scientific studies. Feel free to Google it. Having said that. As a hypnotist with over a decade experience I 100% agree. Hypnosis cannot make you do things like that. Also hypnosis would wear off once they go to sleep at the very latest. And it's a state of high suggestibility. But that doesn't mean the person HAS to accept the suggestion. If I hypnotized you and then told you to empty your bank account out and give me all your money you'd wake up immediately and say no. Simple as that. A person can refuse hypnotic suggestions even by the best hypnotists. It angers me when movies show someone killing someone else because of hypnosis. You could not be made to kill someone unless you're already a sociopath.

[@davidwight5974]

my one issue was when he just walks in front of the truck n looks at the ppl and they go to sleep other than that i could see the resdt as being believable

Can't believe a movie about thief magicians finally showed a realistic law that I never see in cop shows. "Sure I know how to help, but I don't have to." "Uh, yeah you do. Otherwise, that's obstruction of justice, and you can go to jail."

[@brianb4898]

And when threat of jail comes out, one should immediately plead the 5th ... If not sooner. They are accusing you of a crime - Don't confess under the crime of coercion.

[@limemobber]

You are not legally required to help the police. Me knowing how someone might have done something and not telling the police is not obstruction.

[@Deverik1981]

​@@brianb4898they'll just invent something if need be. They're not your friends, they're not our protectors. They are there to extract money from the non wealthy, arrest for the non violent crimes, and target brown people.

[@George-Hawthorne]

@@limemobber Couldn't they charge you as an accessory though?

[@limemobber]

@@George-Hawthorne an accessory for what exactly? For fairly accurately theorizing what the horseman did? Being an expert on a subject does not mean you're an accessory if law enforcement comes on ask you questions and you don't feel like answering them. If he was involved he would be an accessory, what he really is is an expert who could give testimony in a court of law. He's not required by any law to actually help in the investigation.

Just a few things which are totally, grotesquely unbelievable. 1 - Being able to program the bank manager like that. 2 - Make a pile of money disappear by being flash paper. That much flashpaper would be a literal bomb. If nothing else, the ink and plastic wrappers would produce massive amounts of soot. And the heat would discolor even stainless steel. But the bomb part would be reeeeally noticeable.

I have one issue with the plan. Once they finished switching the money in the truck, how was transfer completed without the guards mentioning anything? One of them was hypnotized but the other was injected with something that rendered him unconscious which is something hard to forget.

[@noskcajxela]

Morgan Freeman doesn’t work for the Eye, that’s why he turned his career to revealing magicians. They never accepted him so he became a dick about it. And technically Rhoades didn’t work for the eye either, they inducted him in for his success in coordinating the Horseman and all of their shows without revealing himself.

[@ohalistair]

Bradley doesn't know that Dylan Rhodes is actually Dylan Shrike. Rhodes doesn't know that Bradley was head of the Eye. Rhodes is a lower level member, and as a secret organisation, their heirachy and inner workings are also likely secret too.

If the whole “I do a magic trick and I pretend to be incredulous to hype it up when you pull it off” thing was really just an act, why would Thaddeus keep it up long after Shrike died? Wouldn’t he be mournful about it? Call him a friend instead of a “[…]middling magician, a fool[…]”

They should've just left it at one movie, this one was perfectly fine. Instead, they had to make a second one that completely jumped the shark by having almost everyone, including Thaddeus, be a member of The Eye. That's what took me out of that movie. The ending to this one was perfect, with a good twist. Then they completely retconned it in the second one. Oh well, at least I can still enjoy this one.
