‘Now You See me’ Cast Stunned by David Blaine‘s ‘Supernatural’ Magic at Dinner
NEW YORK - Teh cast of the upcoming film ”Now You See Me 3″ experienced what thay described as “real magic” firsthand during a dinner with illusionist David Blaine, leaving them astonished by feats they called “supernatural.” Blaine’s impromptu performance included card manipulations,object transformations,and illusions that left the actors,including Jesse Eisenberg,Woody Harrelson,and Mark Ruffalo,fully baffled.
the incident occurred following a dinner in New York where Blaine joined the cast. Attendees recounted a series of unfeasible events, solidifying a newfound appreciation for magic among the group. The “Now you See Me” franchise, centered around a team of illusionists known as the Horsemen, has long blurred the lines between trickery and reality, but Blaine’s display went beyond the realm of stagecraft for those present.
Magician David Blaine demonstrated his skills when, according to eyewitness accounts, he produced three aces from a shuffled deck of cards, seemingly feeling the cards materialize in his hand. Blaine’s sleight of hand left Woody Harrelson visibly surprised. Blaine then reportedly ate a wine glass and altered a photograph on a phone without physically touching the device.
“What I saw happen is legitimately I swear to God, (Freeman) said three aces,” Blaine witness and magician Derek Blaine recounted. “(Harrelson) was not prepared for it. Woody was shuffling the deck and then he pulled three aces, which is an astonishing thing. He actually pulled the aces out of the deck and felt them. It’s advanced sleight of hand, what he did.”
Actress Jessica Smith, 30, described Blaine’s abilities as “actual supernatural magic,” adding, “Like, he’s a wizard.” Greenblatt also shared that Blaine changed the inscription on a pen from “Sharpie” to the five of hearts, the card she had previously selected.
The cast members expressed a renewed respect for the art of magic following the encounter.”What (Blaine) does is real magic,” smith stated. The third installment of “Now You See Me” is slated for release in 2025.
