There’s undoubtedly a psychological, mathematical or even editorial explanation of how and why “Now You See Me” suckered me with its very first shuffle of the cards. Not caring much to read a fun-sucking deconstruction of this visual deception is at least a sign this magician movie has done its job (unlike frowny-faced yawners “The Prestige” and “The Illusionist”). Although it persuasively justifies its reason for existing by the finish, the end-credits song spells it out: Phoenix’s “Entertainment.”
