SYNOPSIS:
Superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) have ruled the Las Vegas strip for years, raking in millions with illusions as big as Burt’s growing ego. But lately the duo’s greatest deception is their public friendship, while secretly they’ve grown to loathe each other.
Facing cutthroat competition from guerilla street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), whose cult following surges with each outrageous stunt, even their show looks stale. But there’s still a chance Burt and Anton can save the act – both onstage and off – if Burt can get back in touch with what made him love magic in the first place.

SPECIAL FEATURES:
"Steve Gray: The Brain Rapist - Raw":
See The Brain Rapist as you've never seen him before... RAW! Witness first hand Steve Gray's (Jim Carrey's) performances 'uncut' as they were performed in front of the cameras. All the tension, all the screams, all the self-mutilation is live and uncensored
"Magic Demystified"-Making Movie Magic with David Copperfield:
The comedy is hilarious but the magic is serious! Master magician and illusionist David Copperfield and magic instructor Jonathan Levit break the magicians' code (just a tiny bit) to show how "The Hangman" was created exclusively for the film, and demonstrate some of their signature sleight-of-hand tricks up close.
