Continuity mistake: When the Horsemen find the blueprints, as Henley says "I really want to meet them", she is standing about a foot away from Daniel. But in the next shot, she's suddenly standing several feet away from him. (00:14:15)
Continuity mistake: When Thaddeus is first introduced, he is in the audience recording the Horsemen's Las Vegas show on his phone. In the shot where the camera pans from the stage over to Thaddeus in his seat, there is a man sitting next to him applauding with the crowd and there is a watch on the man's wrist. A couple of shots later, when Thaddeus tells the usher he is going to put his phone away, the watch has vanished. (00:16:00)
Continuity mistake: When the French banker is called onto the stage, Daniel points out that they wouldn't be there for Arthur Tressler. As he says this, Henley is visible to the left of screen with her hands by her side. Yet from the next shot, her right arm is suddenly raised pointing at Arthur. (00:17:50)
Continuity mistake: When congratulating Tressler at the show, Daniel asks Tressler to stay standing. Tressler has his hands by his side. The shot cuts to Daniel, Merritt and Henley on the stage, and Tressler is seen on the TV in the background, where his hands are now clasped together. (00:18:05)
Continuity mistake: When the Horsemen are congratulating Tressler at the Las Vegas show, as Daniel says "I want to say when we came to Mr. Tressler", Merritt and Henley are looking at Daniel, but in the next shot, are looking at the crowd. (00:18:05)
Continuity mistake: At the Las Vegas show, Daniel says to the French banker "If you could sign your name. In English if possible." The next shot shows Henley walking around the stage in the center. But by the next shot she's suddenly standing at the edge of the stage. (00:19:35)
Continuity mistake: Once the teleport device is unveiled, Merritt walks the banker over to the device. During this shot, Henley is on the right side of the device, walks over to it, and begins to reach down for something, but by the next shot, she is right back where she started and not reaching down for anything. (00:20:00)
Continuity mistake: In the very first shot of Dylan, he is shown walking out of a casino with a guy. As his phone rings, he says to the man "Hold up here" and he stands still. In the next shot, 360 degree panning shot around Dylan is shown and the guy has suddenly vanished. (00:23:30)
Continuity mistake: When Interpol agent Alma Dray first speaks in the FBI office, her collar switches several times between open (revealing moles on her neck) and closed (hiding the moles). (00:24:45)
Continuity mistake: As the FBI and Interpol are questioning Etienne, when Dylan says the trigger word, he is looking straight forward at her. The shot then pans around to Etienne, and in the reflection of the mirror, Dylan can be seen suddenly in the middle of an argument with Interpol and not looking at her. (00:25:55)
Continuity mistake: When the banker is doing his Philharmonic, Dylan tells Alma to tell him to stop and Alma then replies "No, I can't. You just have to let him finish his movement." In the reflection of the mirror behind them, we can see Dylan is looking at Alma. Next shot, Dylan is suddenly looking at the banker. (00:26:20)
Continuity mistake: When Dylan and Alma enter the interrogation room to question Merritt, he starts talking to them, looking straight at them with his head turned to the right, with his hands on the table. In the next shot, he is looking straight forward and his left arm is suddenly raised. (00:27:25)
Continuity mistake: When Merritt talks about a proud tradition in the FBI of men wearing dresses, Dylan is shown sitting down, placing his left hand on the file and his right hand on the desk. The shot then cuts to Merritt saying "No shame" to Agent Fuller, and suddenly Dylan's right hand is placed on the top right hand side of the file. (00:27:45)
Continuity mistake: In the interrogation room, Dylan grabs Daniel by the hair telling him to answer the question. As Dylan grabs Daniel, Dylan's left arm is mostly lowered, with his forearm raised by a few inches. In the next shot, Dylan's left forearm is suddenly raised further. (00:28:10)
Continuity mistake: Whilst interrogating Daniel, Alma asks him "If you had nothing to do with it then how did the playing card get into the vault?" At the end of this shot, Daniel raises his head upwards. In the next shot, he is suddenly looking forward at the table. (00:28:10)
Continuity mistake: When Daniel is handcuffed to the table and Dylan grabs him, the handcuffs come undone, then in next shot they are shut again. (00:28:15)
Continuity mistake: Dylan is reading Merritt's file and says to Merritt "Says here you are a mentalist. So what exactly is mentalism?" When Dylan finishes saying "Says here you are a mentalist", the shot cuts to Merritt. Between this shot and a shot of Merritt two shots afterward, the chains on Merritt's handcuffs that are laid across the desk change position without him moving. (00:28:25)
Continuity mistake: When Merritt is explaining to Dylan what mentalism is, he raises his hands and places them on his head, raising both the handcuffs and the handcuff chains with him. From the first angle, the chain has been raised so it is not touching the table, but when he goes to put his hands on his head in the following shot, a piece of the chain, from both handcuffs, is suddenly resting on the table. (00:28:35)
Continuity mistake: The shot before Daniel throws the cuffs onto Dylan's wrists, he lifts his arms beginning to throw the cuffs on his hand. In the next shot, his arms are back on the table ready to throw the cuffs a second time. This is only visible at the very start of shot so you have to be quick to see it. (00:31:25)
Continuity mistake: When the Horsemen are getting into their cars to leave the FBI, Evans is standing next to the hand rail. Dylan then runs up to Evans and he remains in his position, but when Fuller runs up to them, Evans is suddenly standing far away from the hand rail. (00:32:10)
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.
