#LegendOf #NowYouSeeMe @NYSMmovie, Reminding us What #Magic Really Is (both Stage-Magic and 'Supernatural Occurences' (like Miracles, like Children think Stage-Magic actually is)) @getFANDOM
You know NOW YOU SEE ME, the movie about four stage-magicians who (SPOILERS!) ...
... get caught up in big plans.
That's one of the things that fascinated me about stage-magic—I always liked it when I could–as J. Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenburg's character) said a magician always does–"be the smartest person in the room."
Interestingly, he said that to FBI-Agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo's character ... who was playing a bigger trick on Daniel). And they were both right—Daniel 'knew something Dylan didn't know' and Dylan 'knew something Daniel didn't know.'
That's one-of-the-things Daniel meant when he said 'smarter'—not "more intelligent," but 'knowing something that others don't know' In the interrogation-room, Daniel knew how he was functionally-innocent (that the authorities couldn't legally pin him down), even though he was one of the principal operators in a huge crime; maybe Dylan knew how too, but he didn't let-on that he knew.
But Dylan did know how Daniel (and the other three) had been put into a team in service of The Eye.

'That word' (below-hyperlinked to "NOW YOU SEE ME"-offers on Amazon) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
