Continuity mistake: In a flashback of the money being stolen from the vault, the card with the signature is notably in front of the Las Vegas ticket. The next shot where the employee enters the vault, now shows the ticket on top of the card if you look very closely. (00:39:20)
Continuity mistake: At the start of the plane scene to New Orleans, Merritt says "Allow me to make plain what we've both been thinking." At this moment, Merritt is resting on a pillow with a T sign stitched onto it. Merritt is first shown to be resting on the T, but a couple of shots later, Merritt is suddenly on the other end of the pillow. (00:39:55)
Continuity mistake: Dylan and Alma go on a plane to New Orleans. In the first shot of the cabin, the shot pans from the passengers over to Dylan and Alma. When the shot stops panning, there are papers on Dylan's table. The paper on top is facing a 12 o'clock direction. Alma asks Dylan to pick out a card and he does. When he puts the card back, the paper on top is now facing a 10 o'clock direction without him ever moving it. (00:40:45)
Continuity mistake: When Dylan and Alma are on the plane, as the shot pans around to them, Alma has a drink with a stirrer, which is on the edge of the cup. Alma then asks Dylan to pick out a card and put it back in the deck. If you look at Alma's drink, the stirrer is now sticking upwards in the middle of the cup. (00:40:45)
Continuity mistake: On the plane ride to New Orleans, Dylan tells Alma the Horsemen were a bunch of street magicians a year previously. As the shot ends, Alma has her head turned 90 degrees facing Dylan. Yet in the side angle, her head begins to turn that position. (00:41:10)
Continuity mistake: Dylan says to Alma on the plane "Some of those guys seriously need to get a life." Alma is looking down as he says this, but looking several degrees towards Dylan when the shot cuts. (00:41:30)
Continuity mistake: When Dylan is looking for Alma in the Mardi Gras crowd, he stops his conversation with Fuller and puts his phone to his chest. Dylan sees Alma and the phone is suddenly back to his ear. Then back to his chest again. (00:44:20)
Continuity mistake: In New Orleans, when Dylan finds Alma, there are two cops riding horses in the background. The shot cuts to a wide shot from behind Dylan where the horses are ahead of Dylan. The shot cuts again and the cops and horses are far in the background. (00:44:20)
Continuity mistake: When Dylan finds Alma in New Orleans, the wide shot from behind Dylan shows him waving his left arm to her and keeps it in the air when he says "there you are", but in the next shot, his left arm is by his side. (00:44:20)
Audio problem: When Dylan finds Alma in the Mardi Gras crowd, he asks her if she's been doing some sightseeing while in New Orleans. There is an over the shoulder shot from behind Dylan when he asks this, where his mouth is not moving. (00:44:20)
Continuity mistake: The shot before Alma goes to show Dylan the book on Lionel Shrike, she turned 90 degrees away from him. When she shows him the book in the next shot, she is suddenly turned to face him without any time to do so. (00:45:20)
Continuity mistake: In New Orleans, Alma shows Dylan a book on Lionel Shrike. When the camera is front of her, she is holding the book with her hand at the top. In the reverse angle, she's not. (00:45:20)
Continuity mistake: As Alma shows Dylan the Lionel Shrike book, the book is raised to the top of her neck in this shot, but suddenly lowered several inches in the next shot. (00:45:25)
Continuity mistake: When Alma first talks about Lionel Shrike's card trick, as she says "Then he goes to a tree that's been there 20 years", she is seen quickly lowering her head. Camera cuts and her head goes back to being raised. (00:45:30)
Continuity mistake: After Fuller states to Dylan that the Horsemen have tracking bracelets, Dylan is on the balcony looking at a crowd. He is then joined by Alma and he turns his head to her. In the following shot from behind the two, Dylan is now suddenly looking at the crowd. (00:46:10)
Continuity mistake: During their conversation on the balcony, when Alma says "Do you really think it's possible there's a fifth Horseman?", the left side (right side from camera view) of her jumper shows a couple of inches of her shoulder. But in the following shot, her jumper now covers up the left side of her entire shoulder. (00:47:00)
Continuity mistake: Just as Alma finishes asking Dylan if he thinks there is a fifth Horseman, her lips are still a centimetre open, but in the next shot, her mouth is suddenly sealed. (00:47:00)
Continuity mistake: When Thaddeus is filming Magic Unmasked, directly behind him is a stand of magic items. When the crew leaves to let Thaddeus and Tressler talk, behind Thaddeus is now a completely different collection. (00:47:35 - 00:48:10)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Thaddeus goes into the Horsemen's room to wish them good luck at the New Orleans show, Jack is seen moving from one side of the couch to the other when Merritt says "Do you mind if I do a quick read on you?" Two shots after this, he is seen moving to the other side of the couch a second time. Extended version. (00:50:55)
Continuity mistake: When Daniel starts doing a card trick on Thaddeus in their room, all four Horsemen are standing even with each other. A couple shots later, Henley and Jack are both suddenly standing behind Daniel and Merritt. Then a few shots after that, they are even with each other again. Extended version. (00:51:30)
Answer: He confessed under the pretense that he didn't want an expensive trial but really because he was in charge of the Eye all along.
