Illusionist David Copperfield, who served as a co-producer on the follow-up, also appears in ‘Filming the Magic.’ He mentioned that how the story is presented, as well as how the film is lit, are also essential elements to helping the audience feel as though they’re watching the magic tricks live. The scribe, who also contributed to the script for the 2013 original film, also mentioned that creating the mood of magic, so that the whole movie works like a big magic trick, was also an important part of his job. In the clip, which is titled ‘Filming the Magic,’ the comedy’s screenwriter, Ed Solomon, noted that process of adapting the magic tricks onto the screen was at times difficult. In honor of this summer’s hit heist movie, ‘ Now You See Me 2,’ being distributed on home entertainment, Shockya has an exclusive clip from the bonus features of the sequel. Translating those illusions to the screen for an action-adventure film can be even trickier.
