Continuity mistake: When Merritt starts "sensing" on Daniel, Henley is heard laughing and Daniel turns to her, then he turns back to Merritt. This shot shows Merritt's only arm in shot completely lowered. Next shot, his arms are both raised. (00:10:50)
Continuity mistake: After Merritt calls Daniel a control freak and Henley says it doesn't take a mentalist to figure it out, Daniel then says he would take it as a compliment. After he says this, the shot cuts to Henley looking at Merritt saying "Only he would take it as a compliment." In the next shot, Henley is suddenly looking at Daniel. (00:11:00)
Continuity mistake: When they are standing outside the apartment, after Merritt tells Henley she deserves to feel special, Daniel tells him that's a really nice story, and points to him with the card in hand, before lowering his hand. In the next shot, just as he turns to leave, he is seen still with the hand raised and card in hand, before lowering it a second time. (00:11:35)
Continuity mistake: In the scene in which the magicians all meet each other, Jack shows his card to the other three magicians. In this shot, Henley's card is already raised. In the following shot, she goes to raise her card a second time. (00:11:50)
Continuity mistake: When the magicians are standing outside the apartment showing each other their tarot cards, Daniel shows his tarot card The Lover whilst looking at Jack, but in the next shot, he is looking at Henley. (00:11:55)
Continuity mistake: When the Horsemen show each other their tarot cards, Daniel states that he is The Lover and Henley jokingly coughs "Three minutes" and Merritt states that he is The Hermit. Merritt is then shown turning his head to Henley looking annoyed and Henley is looking at Merritt. Next shot, she's looking at Jack. (00:12:00)
Continuity mistake: As the Horsemen are searching the apartment, just before reaching the living room, Jack states that it is freezing. From the reverse angle, Jack is shown looking to the right. Next shot, he's suddenly looking forward. (00:12:30)
Audio problem: When the Horsemen are walking through the corridors of apartment 6A, Jack says "Man, it's freezing in here" in the shot before entering the living room. When Jack says "Man", his lips don't move an inch. (00:12:35)
Continuity mistake: When the Horsemen discover the "Now You Don't" card, the first shot shows the edge of the card to be resting on the lining on the floor. When Daniel picks the card up, almost half of the card is shown to be resting on the lining in the floor. The same goes for the rose. (00:12:35)
Continuity mistake: When the Horsemen find the blueprints, as Henley says "I really want to meet them", she is standing about a foot away from Daniel. But in the next shot, she's suddenly standing several feet away from him. (00:14:15)
Audio problem: When the four Horsemen find the blueprints in the abandoned apartment, there is one shot panning around. During this shot, Henley says "It's a show", but her lips read something totally different. (00:14:20)
Continuity mistake: When Thaddeus is first introduced, he is in the audience recording the Horsemen's Las Vegas show on his phone. In the shot where the camera pans from the stage over to Thaddeus in his seat, there is a man sitting next to him applauding with the crowd and there is a watch on the man's wrist. A couple of shots later, when Thaddeus tells the usher he is going to put his phone away, the watch has vanished. (00:16:00)
Continuity mistake: When the French banker is called onto the stage, Daniel points out that they wouldn't be there for Arthur Tressler. As he says this, Henley is visible to the left of screen with her hands by her side. Yet from the next shot, her right arm is suddenly raised pointing at Arthur. (00:17:50)
Continuity mistake: When congratulating Tressler at the show, Daniel asks Tressler to stay standing. Tressler has his hands by his side. The shot cuts to Daniel, Merritt and Henley on the stage, and Tressler is seen on the TV in the background, where his hands are now clasped together. (00:18:05)
Continuity mistake: When the Horsemen are congratulating Tressler at the Las Vegas show, as Daniel says "I want to say when we came to Mr. Tressler", Merritt and Henley are looking at Daniel, but in the next shot, are looking at the crowd. (00:18:05)
Revealing mistake: After the banker has picked out his card, Daniel says "Show it your friends in Section B. But not to us." As he says this, visible in the background is a television with a live feed from the stage. On the television, we can see Henley walking around the stage, but the movements of Henley on the TV don't match up with what Henley is doing onstage - on the live TV feed, she is shown looking up at the audience, but on the stage at the same moment she is looking at the banker. Also, Jack walks right by her and he is never shown on the TV. (00:19:25)
Continuity mistake: At the Las Vegas show, Daniel says to the French banker "If you could sign your name. In English if possible." The next shot shows Henley walking around the stage in the center. But by the next shot she's suddenly standing at the edge of the stage. (00:19:35)
Continuity mistake: Once the teleport device is unveiled, Merritt walks the banker over to the device. During this shot, Henley is on the right side of the device, walks over to it, and begins to reach down for something, but by the next shot, she is right back where she started and not reaching down for anything. (00:20:00)
Continuity mistake: In the very first shot of Dylan, he is shown walking out of a casino with a guy. As his phone rings, he says to the man "Hold up here" and he stands still. In the next shot, 360 degree panning shot around Dylan is shown and the guy has suddenly vanished. (00:23:30)
Continuity mistake: When Interpol agent Alma Dray first speaks in the FBI office, her collar switches several times between open (revealing moles on her neck) and closed (hiding the moles). (00:24:45)
Answer: The mirror was inserted at an angle, so that the reflection was the ceiling and not what was in front of them. It's the same principle for how periscopes work.
