    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Charlie Miller, Max Malini, Dai Vernon/"The Professor", Larry Jennings, Nate Leipzig and Jacob Daley are all famous sleight-of-hand magicians. In fact, nearly every major male character in the film is named for a sleight-of-hand magician.
    • Goofs
      The position of Miller's hand alternates between holding the drink and crossed over to his other arm while talking to Marlo.
    • Quotes
      • Marlo: Excuse me, I'm vibrating.
    • Crazy credits
      The credits list an "Erdnase Grip" and a "Mechanic's Grip." S.W. Erdnase was the pseudonym of the author of the book "Expert at the Card Table," which was referenced in this movie. A "mechanic's grip" is a special way to hold the cards that facilitates many common sleights (including dealing seconds and dealing from the bottom of the deck).
