Continuity mistake: When Henley is in the tank, supposedly getting eaten by piranhas, there is a guy in a shirt with a blue hat standing in front of it. In one shot, the guy takes his hands off the tank, but by the next shot, his hands are back on it. (00:07:10)
Continuity mistake: After Henley finishes her trick and the camera pans over to her, just before the camera stops panning, there is a blonde woman with short hair and tree patterns on her dress visible in front of her to the right (or viewer's left). But as it cuts to a wide angle, that same woman is suddenly behind her. (00:07:15)

Continuity mistake: When Daniel is in his room and pushes off the woman on top of him, he crawls over to the tarot card in his shoe. When the woman yells "Are you kidding me?", the left shoelace is lying over the left side of the shoe, but when Daniel approaches the shoe in the next shot, the shoelace isn't in the same place. (00:08:10)
Continuity mistake: When Daniel finds the tarot card, he goes over to it and it is positioned on the edge of the table, then in a close-up, it is suddenly slightly over the edge of the table. (00:08:10)
Continuity mistake: Daniel finds his card. In a close-up of the card, he has his 4th finger placed on the side of the card, his thumb placed on the bottom of the card and the other three fingers hanging freely. Yet in a reverse angle of the card where the camera is in front of Daniel, he has all five fingers placed on the left side of the card. (00:08:15)

Continuity mistake: When Henley is first looking at 45 East Evan Street, her tarot card is in her hand, pushed up against a cup of coffee. By the time she meets up with Daniel, the card is no longer pushed up against the coffee cup, but instead in one of the other fingers. She couldn't have moved the card, because her bag was in her right hand and the coffee was in her left. (00:09:30)
Continuity mistake: When Daniel and Henley are walking up the staircase to the apartment, as she talks about Daniel's "anonymous posting" on her website, Henley has her bag strap on her shoulder.

Continuity mistake: When Daniel, Merritt and Henley first meet outside apartment 6A, the golden adjusting buckle on Daniel's bag strap is on the top of his shoulder and there are two plastic adjusting buckles on the front side of the strap, one near the top and a second further down. A few seconds later, after Merritt says the door is locked, the shot cuts to Daniel saying "Is it?" and the two plastic buckles are now further up the strap. Also, the shot cuts to angle behind Daniel and the golden buckle on the strap is now on the back side. As Daniel walks back to Merritt and Henley after trying to open the door, the golden buckle is now on the front side of the strap and much closer to one of the plastic buckles. The shot cuts again and the top plastic buckle is suddenly by his shoulder, and the golden buckle is suddenly back on the back side of the strap. Later on, when Jack arrives in the scene, the golden buckle is suddenly back on his shoulder again. (00:10:05)
Continuity mistake: When Merritt mind reads Daniel to find out he is a "control freak", Henley is behind Daniel. Then she is standing next to him, then back to behind him where she takes a step forward to be right next to him. (00:10:50)
Continuity mistake: When Merritt starts "sensing" on Daniel, Henley is heard laughing and Daniel turns to her, then he turns back to Merritt. This shot shows Merritt's only arm in shot completely lowered. Next shot, his arms are both raised. (00:10:50)
Continuity mistake: After Merritt calls Daniel a control freak and Henley says it doesn't take a mentalist to figure it out, Daniel then says he would take it as a compliment. After he says this, the shot cuts to Henley looking at Merritt saying "Only he would take it as a compliment." In the next shot, Henley is suddenly looking at Daniel. (00:11:00)
Continuity mistake: When they are standing outside the apartment, after Merritt tells Henley she deserves to feel special, Daniel tells him that's a really nice story, and points to him with the card in hand, before lowering his hand. In the next shot, just as he turns to leave, he is seen still with the hand raised and card in hand, before lowering it a second time. (00:11:35)
Continuity mistake: In the scene in which the magicians all meet each other, Jack shows his card to the other three magicians. In this shot, Henley's card is already raised. In the following shot, she goes to raise her card a second time. (00:11:50)
Continuity mistake: When the magicians are standing outside the apartment showing each other their tarot cards, Daniel shows his tarot card The Lover whilst looking at Jack, but in the next shot, he is looking at Henley. (00:11:55)
Continuity mistake: When the Horsemen show each other their tarot cards, Daniel states that he is The Lover and Henley jokingly coughs "Three minutes" and Merritt states that he is The Hermit. Merritt is then shown turning his head to Henley looking annoyed and Henley is looking at Merritt. Next shot, she's looking at Jack. (00:12:00)
Continuity mistake: As the Horsemen are searching the apartment, just before reaching the living room, Jack states that it is freezing. From the reverse angle, Jack is shown looking to the right. Next shot, he's suddenly looking forward. (00:12:30)
Continuity mistake: When the Horsemen discover the "Now You Don't" card, the first shot shows the edge of the card to be resting on the lining on the floor. When Daniel picks the card up, almost half of the card is shown to be resting on the lining in the floor. The same goes for the rose. (00:12:35)
Answer: The mirror was inserted at an angle, so that the reflection was the ceiling and not what was in front of them. It's the same principle for how periscopes work.
