Factual error: When it's 00:00 on January 1st, it's not night in Sydney, it's 11 AM. When they 'reveal' stuff at the end of the movie, and they show that things happen exactly at 00:00 in the night in London, it can't possibly be dark in Sydney, Australia.

Now You See Me 2 (2016)
Plot summary
Directed by: Jon M. Chu
Starring: Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, Daniel Radcliffe, Lizzy Caplan
The movie begins with a flashback showing Thaddeus Bradley, a magician exposed in the previous film, incarcerated in a prison cell. He receives a card inviting him to join an organization called the Eye.
One year after the events of the first film, the remaining members of the Four Horsemen, J. Daniel Atlas, Merritt McKinney, Jack Wilder, and new member Lula May, are in hiding. They are awaiting instructions from the mysterious Eye.
Meanwhile, FBI agent Dylan Rhodes is blackmailed by someone known as "The Eye" to assign him to the search for the Horsemen. Disguised, the Four Horsemen crash a high-profile tech launch event, exposing the CEO Owen Case as a corrupt businessman who has stolen private data from millions of people.
Just as they are about to make their escape, the Horsemen are captured by mercenaries and taken to Macau. They encounter Walter Mabry, a wealthy technology prodigy who forces them to steal a powerful computer chip known as "The Stick," which has the ability to decrypt any security system in the world. Mabry threatens the Horsemen to complete the task within a limited timeframe.
While the Horsemen plan their heist, Dylan approaches Thaddeus Bradley, who is now a celebrity of sorts, for information on the whereabouts of the Horsemen. Instead, Dylan exposes Thaddeus as the mastermind behind the Horsemen's disappearance. Thaddeus is captured, and Dylan reveals that he is working with The Horsemen.
As the Horsemen attempt to steal The Stick, they discover that it is a trap set by Mabry. They successfully escape, but their reputation is ruined when they are accidentally stealing a powerful electromagnet needed for their plan.
The Horsemen regroup and decide to expose Mabry as the real villain by tricking him into stealing a fake chip, while the Horsemen steal The Stick from his high-security vault. They con Mabry at a magic show, revealing his true intentions to have access to The Stick's decryption powers to control the world's economic grid.
The Horsemen successfully steal The Stick, but Dylan, revealed to be The Eye, double-crosses them, taking The Stick and revealing his allegiance to Mabry. However, Dylan had secretly arranged a grand plan to expose Mabry and avenge his father, who was a victim of Mabry's financial schemes.
With the Horsemen arrested and sentenced to death, Dylan presents a video exposing Mabry's crimes, leading to his arrest. The Horsemen escape from custody and perform their final act, revealing Dylan's true identity to the entire crowd at a public event.
In the end, Dylan reveals that he was not the fifth Horseman. Instead, it was Lula May, who was trained by Dylan during his time as an FBI agent. The movie ends with the Horsemen disappearing into the crowd, leaving a deck of cards behind, hinting at their next act.
Suggested correction: It shows that Sydney is at dusk and is becoming dark, so around 5pm-6pm-ish, not 11am during the day.
Walter Mabry: This is the key to every computer system on the planet. I want *you* to steal it for me.
Question: How does Jack hypnotise Merritt's twin brother when he is suppose to be doing a street show?
Answer: The entire sequence in London was all a montage. It is never really established if all of the scenes that took place there were coinciding with each other. The scene where Jack hypnotises Chase could have easily taken place after he had finished the street show.
Answer: Also, the reason why Jack was told to leave early was because when the fbi found out jack was performing, they sent their crew. So Jack finished first, got to the location by the time the third performance was still running, the third performance ended faster than the second performance, the second performance was ended by either Merritt or Jack's "he is hypnotized" call.
