I went to see this movie on Saturday, June 11th, 2016, here in Vallejo, CA, at the CENTURY 14 VALLEJO, in auditorium 7, 4th row from the front, 6th column from the left. The price of admission was $8.00. And I bought a $1.00 upgrade to medium on a free small Buttered Popcorn ( free on my movie watcher e-mail reward coupon ) and a $4.85 medium Powerade Mountain Berry Blast at the concessions counter.
Quickie Review: The Four Horsemen illusionists reappear a year later to do a spectacular take-down of a very unscrupulous tech billionaire.
The audience liked this movie and gave it a "Hands Clapper" ending. I liked this movie, too. Go see this movie if you liked the first one.
The one magic trick that I didn't like was the one which involved the private jet. The unsuspecting targets of that trick should have noticed something was wrong when the gravitational pull and the air pressure did not change at all.

Fun Facts: The service adviser at the Vallejo Wheel Works Automotive Center looks like a younger Morgan Freeman.
The Japanese invented Hair Transplant Surgery ( micro-graft, mini-graft and follicular unit transplant [ FUT ] ) years before the bombing of Pearl Harbor which forced our entry into the war. If not for World War II, balding American males would have benefited from such a surgery sooner.
Micro-grafts, Mini-grafts and FUT techniques are more refined than the old, abandoned methods of strip transplant and "doll hair" plugs. And some patients actually died while undergoing strip and plug surgeries.
Nowadays, you don't even want to go to a doctor who only offers Micro- and Mini-graft hair transplant service. Take your money and run ... to another doctor trained in the more advanced techniques of hair transplant surgery.
Your better options now would be Neo-graft, ARTAS, and FUE ( follicular unit extraction ) which is slightly different from an FUT. Follicular Unit Transplant still involves taking a strip of flesh from the back of your head ( 1" x 7" x 1/2" ) to harvest viable hair follicles. Neo-graft, ARTAS and FUE harvest donor hair without taking a strip of flesh from the back of the head and are therefore less invasive and leave no visible scar tissue. Neo-graft and FUE are done by hand; ARTAS is done by a robotic arm. ARTAS can harvest donor hair faster which equates to a shorter stay at the doctor's office for the transplant procedure.
Micro-graft and Mini-graft hair transplant surgeries can take up to 7 or 8 hours at the doctor's office. Neo-graft and FUT/FUE take half that time. ARTAS is shorter still.
Neo-graft is usually done by a technician. Whereas, FUT/FUE are mostly performed by the doctor or a nurse practitioner under the doctor's supervision; sometimes, technicians are involved. ARTAS is either done by the doctor or the nurse practitioner.
ARTAS is mostly recommended for men with black or brown straight hair.
Yes, pubic hair has been successfully used as donor hair in some hair transplant surgeries.
But I don't know why hair transplant surgeons don't want to use beard hair as donor hair. ( I guess they just want to use pubic hair to have a good laugh at their patients' expense! )
