makes viewers they want more they love it.
Well because it's not all movie magic. Talk to us.
Some that's a lot of real magic. We were talking about
that yesterday for sure I have to be honest, I thought a lot
of it was just I don't know CGI effects, but she said no you
you guys really did yeah, they they spent some time in La at
the Magic Castle. Learning they had instruction. And some of
the really good at it anyway. And the ones who are not really
good at it you didn't get those instructions. I'm amazed
because I didn't get in.
Magic lover are you do you like to know how the trick happens
or do you like to stay in on.
That's a good question. I know I think I'm like everybody
else I'd like to know how did you do that. You know with you

with a lot of other projects you're producing a civil war
