Robberies and magic, which two other elements could be better combined to make a movie plot stand out to the point of becoming a visually fabulous show full of memorable scenes where technical aspects and camera games highlight the story making it exceedingly entertaining; that's Now You See Me.

[Source](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/75656-now-you-see-me?language=en-US) # Now You See Me takes elements typical of theft and scam movies and combines them with a world where magic and illusions have control of the highlights to create really great scenes, scenes that become one by one a visual delight worthy of those live magic shows. This film lets us see how a group of 4 magicians/illusionist decide to perform live acts to captivate the audience and in a certain way to take revenge on a group of ambitious people who have taken advantage of their position to take advantage of different situations above normal people. This is not the typical robbery movie where most of the time we see the planning of the robbery, here all the plans are hidden by a magic cloak that makes the movie super entertaining and different, after all seeing how a group of FBI agents are constantly confronted and beaten by a group of 4 magicians who perform different robberies and tricks is really fun, because it lets us explore in depth that world behind the magic shows that despite being fascinating are nothing more than prepared montages. # [Source](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/75656-now-you-see-me/images/backdrops?language=en-US) # The film is really great because it constantly gives us scenes with a very high intensity and rhythm where we see the different tricks that the magicians perform to outwit the police and steal different things, but above all because it allows us to see how through simple illusions and mental tricks this group of magicians is able to check everyone. All the development of tricks, illusions and robberies are combined in a great way with touches of action and drama that give much protagonism to the characters, not forgetting that the final twist of the plot is really sensational because it gives meaning to all the isolated events we saw throughout the film, those final scenes are like the final piece of a great puzzle that leads to an entertainment without equal.

Something that makes this film a tremendous visual enjoyment, are the different camera games and close first person shots that allow us to be part of the tricks, to see how people were so easily deceived by a group of expert magicians who were dedicated to manipulating people's minds to believe in the magic of their tricks. Here we don't have great visual effects, here what we have are close-up shots that give a great touch of realism to the whole story allowing us to doubt the different things we are constantly witnessing, yes, there were parts of the film that left me gasping for the level of realism behind the tricks that these magicians were showing us. The whole movie is like a big magic show developed in several segments to end up closing with one last act somewhat unexpected and surprising.

This is without a doubt an extremely entertaining film that without pretensions manages to capture the best of the world of magic through realism in the recreation of tricks complicated to do in the real world. This is a movie I never tire of watching, a movie that quickly became one of my favorite heist movies. #
