Dude, plenty of CGI was used--consider how the cards were flipped, for example.

people seem to be forgetting it's a movie not a magic show.

Now there might be something functionally wrong with your brain, so excuse me, but this movie is absolutely loaded with CGI. Anyone with even a much lower than average IQ can see this.

Total Film has claimed that 85% of the magic tricks from the movie are all real. The 15% are based on CGI effects.

Who told you no CGI was used???

Every trick in that movie worked because it was built on the mystery and illusion talent of live magicians, and CGI effects were added to give a great illusion.

What I can't figure out is how a sequel was green-lit.

because it MADE MONEY.

75 mill budget and over 350 takings is A PROFIT.

I can't find the budget for the second one but imagine it to be similar, and takings were almost identical, so i guess we will see a third.

Sequel was inferior, but Lizzie was absolutely ok , phew. Cause i loved isla in the first one.

This needed more about the eye, it went too off course, just became a number 1 rewrite but less spectacular stunts IMO..

Still a fun film.
