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: 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)
Audio problem: In the cafe, Merritt takes out a dollar bill for a hypnotised wife to take. Merritt says "Go ahead. Take it" and the shot then cuts to an angle from behind Merritt where the wife then stretches her arms out to reach the note. In the angle from behind, Merritt is heard saying "Get it", but his mouth doesn't move. (00:02:15)
Audio problem: After Merritt has performed a mental trick on the wife, he walks over to her husband. There is a shot from behind Merritt as he is says "peek under the hood of your hubby's brain" and his mouth doesn't move. (00:02:25)
Continuity mistake: When Henley is in the tank, supposedly getting eaten by piranhas, there is a guy in a shirt with a blue hat standing in front of it. In one shot, the guy takes his hands off the tank, but by the next shot, his hands are back on it. (00:07:10)
Continuity mistake: As Merritt puts the wife to sleep, the first shot shows a woman visible in the background leaning against one of the columns then takes a step forward to talk to someone sitting. In the next shot from further away, the woman in the background is no where to be seen, then when the camera goes back to Merritt and the couple, the woman is there again. The further away shot had nothing with the camera angles. (00:02:05)

Continuity mistake: As the wife in the cafe attempts to take the dollar note from Merritt, Merritt's arm is shown to be raised as he holds the note.

(00:02:20)

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 Jack is being chased by Dylan and Alma, he drives onto a sidewalk and knocks into two bikes. He continues driving and most of the two bikes slide off the car, leaving one of the bike wheels stuck to the bumper. In the next shot, almost the entire bike is still stuck to the bumper. (01:22:10)
Audio problem: After Jack escapes the apartment in the car, Alma pulls up and yells at Dylan to never tell her to stay in the car. Dylan then replies "Fine! Now go!" In the reverse angle where Dylan says "Fine!" his jaw doesn't move. Theatrical version only.
Continuity mistake: When Jack tackles Agent Fuller in the apartment, he grabs his jacket, pulls it down, and shoves the sleeves into the garbage disposal. When Jack turns on the disposal, some sort of utensil holder falls into the sink on the left side. After Fuller yells out "Dylan" after spitting out a wet cloth forced into his mouth, a shot of the sink is shown and the utensil holder has suddenly shifted slightly to the right. Fuller couldn't have moved it since his arms were stuck in his jacket and his jacket was stuck inside the garbage disposal. (01:17:25)
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: When Dylan and Alma are having lunch with Thaddeus Bradley, as Thaddeus says "My first show, I revealed all of his tricks", Alma is looking straight at him with her head slightly shifted to the left. In the next shot, she is looking down on the table, with her head shifted to the right. Theatrical version only.
Continuity mistake: When Merritt says to the cheating husband "And if you even see or even think of Janet, you're gonna picture me, naked", there are a few strands of hair along his fringe. Merritt then wakes up the husband's wife and the few strands of hair along his fringe have decreased. (00:03:45)
Continuity mistake: Merritt begins to do a mental trick on a husband. As he says "I'm picturing, don't tell me", his right arm is raised. In the next shot, that same arm is suddenly lowered. (00:02:30)
Continuity mistake: When Alma lets go of Dylan's head after pushing him on the table, she is noticeably facing Dylan as the shot ends. In the next shot, she is suddenly facing 180 degrees in the opposite direction with no time to do so. (01:08:00)
Continuity mistake: As Daniel is performs his card trick on the fan, there is a guy visible behind the woman who is behind the fan. He remains in his same position throughout the scene. Yet from a wide angle of the audience cheering at Daniel, the fan is visible, but the guy two places behind her has been replaced by a completely different person. (00:01:15 - 00:01:50)
Chosen answer: They would, yes.
