Continuity mistake: When Thaddeus shows to Dylan and Alma the first Four Horsemen's trick, when Dylan is in the teleport device, as the cloth is being lowered down, he is seen looking straight forward at a 12 o'clock direction. Shot cuts and he is instantly looking downwards. (00:35:45)
Continuity mistake: When Thaddeus is showing Dylan how the Horsemen performed their trick, he and his assistant start lowering the sheet around the teleportation device. Once he finishes lowering the sheet, there is a cut and suddenly he is standing several feet away from the device. (00:35:50)
Continuity mistake: When Dylan lands in the fake vault, he lands right next to the stand where all the money was placed on. When Alma, Thaddeus and Thaddeus' assistant enter the vault, he is suddenly standing almost a few meters away from the stand where all the money was placed. This has nothing to do with the camera angles because his hand landed on the stand as he landed in the vault. (00:36:05)
Other mistake: When Dylan is transported from the stage to "the vault", Alma, Thaddeus and Thaddeus' assistant manage to get down the stairs to "the vault" just a few seconds after he lands as if they took a simple walk there. How would they get there that fast anyway? Dylan got to "the vault" by going through a "teleportation device" that went straight to the fake vault under the stage, but the other three had to walk down a flight of stairs to get there. Even with the fake vault being close to the stage it still would take longer to get down to the fake vault. To begin with, when the vault opened, the stairs they walked down were visible several meters in the background. There were about 13 steps on the staircase which would have made the width of the staircase about 3 meters and the height about 4 meters. With the staircase at this length and position, the staircase leading to the fake vault would have had to have been located around the sitting area. Alma, Thaddeus and Thaddeus' assistant managed to get to the fake vault in about 6 seconds, too quickly. (00:36:05)
Continuity mistake: Just after Dylan has landed in the fake vault, he is standing while the door starts to open. At this moment, his left foot is pointed straight forwards and his right foot is rotated a few inches to the right. When the shot cuts to show Thaddeus walking up to the vault, both of his feet are rotated further to the right. (00:36:09)
Continuity mistake: After Dylan is transported under the stage to the Horsemen's fake vault, Alma, Thaddeus and Thaddeus' assistant open the vault door after walking down the stairs. Thaddeus walks in and Dylan asks "What was with the helmet?" Thaddeus then exits the shot after Dylan finishes the line, but within a split second, Thaddeus has suddenly moved half way across the room with no time to do so. (00:36:15)
Continuity mistake: After Thaddeus has walked into the fake vault, Dylan asks what was with the helmet. At this moment, Dylan starts to remove the helmet with both hands. Thaddeus then replies, "My fun," and Dylan can be seen in the background removing the helmet with one hand. Then, when the shot cuts to focus on Alma, he is removing it with both hands. (00:36:18)
Continuity mistake: When Alma chuckles at Dylan after he removes the teleportation helmet, Dylan can be seen on the right-hand side of the shot. When the shot cuts, he is shown brushing his hair with his left hand, which should have been visible in the previous shot of Alma chuckling. (00:36:21)
Continuity mistake: In the flashback of the Horsemen programming the banker's mind, the banker is shown walking down a flight of steps and Daniel is shown throwing and catching some poker chips. He is first shown throwing two poker chips in the air, then in a close-up, it is only one poker chip being thrown into the air. (00:37:00)
Continuity mistake: In a flashback of the money being stolen from the vault, the card with the signature is notably in front of the Las Vegas ticket. The next shot where the employee enters the vault, now shows the ticket on top of the card if you look very closely. (00:39:20)
Continuity mistake: At the start of the plane scene to New Orleans, Merritt says "Allow me to make plain what we've both been thinking." At this moment, Merritt is resting on a pillow with a T sign stitched onto it. Merritt is first shown to be resting on the T, but a couple of shots later, Merritt is suddenly on the other end of the pillow. (00:39:55)
Continuity mistake: Dylan and Alma go on a plane to New Orleans. In the first shot of the cabin, the shot pans from the passengers over to Dylan and Alma. When the shot stops panning, there are papers on Dylan's table. The paper on top is facing a 12 o'clock direction. Alma asks Dylan to pick out a card and he does. When he puts the card back, the paper on top is now facing a 10 o'clock direction without him ever moving it. (00:40:45)
Continuity mistake: When Dylan and Alma are on the plane, as the shot pans around to them, Alma has a drink with a stirrer, which is on the edge of the cup. Alma then asks Dylan to pick out a card and put it back in the deck. If you look at Alma's drink, the stirrer is now sticking upwards in the middle of the cup. (00:40:45)
Continuity mistake: On the plane ride to New Orleans, Dylan tells Alma the Horsemen were a bunch of street magicians a year previously. As the shot ends, Alma has her head turned 90 degrees facing Dylan. Yet in the side angle, her head begins to turn that position. (00:41:10)
Continuity mistake: Dylan says to Alma on the plane "Some of those guys seriously need to get a life." Alma is looking down as he says this, but looking several degrees towards Dylan when the shot cuts. (00:41:30)
Continuity mistake: When Dylan is looking for Alma in the Mardi Gras crowd, he stops his conversation with Fuller and puts his phone to his chest. Dylan sees Alma and the phone is suddenly back to his ear. Then back to his chest again. (00:44:20)
Continuity mistake: In New Orleans, when Dylan finds Alma, there are two cops riding horses in the background. The shot cuts to a wide shot from behind Dylan where the horses are ahead of Dylan. The shot cuts again and the cops and horses are far in the background. (00:44:20)
Continuity mistake: When Dylan finds Alma in New Orleans, the wide shot from behind Dylan shows him waving his left arm to her and keeps it in the air when he says "there you are", but in the next shot, his left arm is by his side. (00:44:20)
Audio problem: When Dylan finds Alma in the Mardi Gras crowd, he asks her if she's been doing some sightseeing while in New Orleans. There is an over the shoulder shot from behind Dylan when he asks this, where his mouth is not moving. (00:44:20)
Continuity mistake: The shot before Alma goes to show Dylan the book on Lionel Shrike, she turned 90 degrees away from him. When she shows him the book in the next shot, she is suddenly turned to face him without any time to do so. (00:45:20)
Chosen answer: They would, yes.
