It turns out all the training was not in vain.

According to David Kwong, Dave Franco transferred sleight of hand to his hand-to-hand action with Mark Ruffalo.

However, on the flip side, Isla Fisher had a different experience.

An F.B.I. Agent and an Interpol Detective track a team of illusionists who pull off bank heists during their performances, and reward their audiences with the money.

It turns outFisher nearly drowned while filming her water tank trickscene because the chain got stuck.

Thankfully for her, there was a stuntperson nearby and a quick-release switch.

Their enthusiasm for magic combined with their training brought more authenticity to the plot of bank robbing magicians.
