![]() Daniel Atlas: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we are going to rob a bank.Īlma Dray: So if you had nothing to do with it, then how did the playing card get in the vault? Daniel Atlas: Oh, yes. Jack Wilder: Or any stage for that matter. Henley Reeves: For our final trick, we're gonna do something never before seen on a Las Vegas stage. Tonight we would like to try something that will, well, set us a bit apart. ![]() Arthur Tressler: Am I flinching? Thaddeus Bradley: No, you're not. Thaddeus Bradley: I stand to make five million. Arthur Tressler: Whatever you stand to make.I'll double it, if you expose them now, and destroy them. You paid quite a lot of good money for it. So I suggest you sit back and enjoy your front row seat. Whatever this grand trick is, it was designed a long time ago, and I believe that what's about to follow, is really going to amaze. Arthur Tressler: You know- Thaddeus Bradley: "I can destroy you", yes, I know. And that very ego, which got you involved with them in the first place, is what keeps you from seeing that. Arthur Tressler: I was a $140 million distraction? Thaddeus Bradley: Yes. You, sir, are the "abracadabra", the distraction, while they set up the real trick. Thaddeus Bradley: This is a magic trick, Mr Tressler. Arthur Tressler: Please tell me why this was not about me. Thaddeus Bradley: If it makes you feel any better, this wasn't about you. What they're gonna do, where they're gonna be. And what have I been telling you all night? The closer you look… Crowd: The less you see.Īrthur Tressler: What is your role with them? Thaddeus Bradley: Role? Arthur Tressler: Yes, you seem to know everything about them. Daniel Atlas: That’s because you’re looking too closely. Daniel Atlas: Now, do you see your card here? Fan: No. Daniel Atlas: Do you have one in mind? Fan: Yes. I’m going to flip through this deck and I want you to see one card. My job? To take that most precious of gifts you give me, your attention, and use it against you. Because what is seeing? You're looking, but what you're actually doing is filtering, interpreting, searching for meaning. Because the more you think you see, the easier it will be to fool you. Deep down inside, you wanted nothing more than to be part of the Eye, but you were never invited, so you tried to destroy them, but instead, what happens? You pissed them off.ĭialogue Daniel Atlas: Come in close. So here's my new theory: the legend is that the Eye is everywhere, waiting for the truly great magicians to distinguish themselves from the mediocre ones.As of this instant, we are ahead of them.So come close, get all over me because the closer you think you are, the less you'll actually see. And at no time will you be anywhere other than exactly where I want you to be. And just when you think you're catching up, that's when we'll be right behind you. Because no matter what you think you might know, we will always be 1 step, 3 steps, 7 steps ahead of you. First rule of magic: always be the smartest guy in the room. ![]() Are the Horsemen the next in a long line of fools to believe this myth? Will they evade the rules of law and logic like they did in Las Vegas? Or will the dark mysticism of this Southern swampland get the better of them? Their purpose: using magic and illusion to even the scales of justice. It is said that they perfected sleight of hand to steal food from the Pharaohs and give it to the slaves. ![]() There is a legend of a secret order born in ancient Egypt called "the Eye".Want to know how they did it? Just say the magic word.Whatever this grand trick is, it was designed a long time ago, and I believe that what's about to follow, is really going to amaze. ![]()
