Kay Daniels : You can't catch a bullet.
Cameron Black : Of course I can't. Do you know how many magicians have died trying to catch bullets? Lots. That was just crowd work. I knew he'd hesitate.
-
Cameron Black : Now, this is gonna sound crazy, but your plane did not explode. It disappeared.
Kay Daniels : That's great. Get him out of here.
-
Kay Daniels : What is that?
Cameron Black : Well, it's magic. You see, I learned this trick when I was five. Keep your eyes on the card.
[he covers the card with his hand, and when he removes it, it's different]
FBI Agent Mike Alvarez : Oh, it's different.
Cameron Black : It's called a deck flip. See, if my hand hadn't been in the way, you'd have seen... this.
[he does the trick again, showing how it's done]
FBI Agent Mike Alvarez : Whoa, whoa, whoa. Now you ruined it. I mean, you gotta warn us before you do that.
-
Kay Daniels : Did he tell you anything?
Cameron Black : La hechicera. Con los ojos magicos.
Kay Daniels : The sorceress with the magic eyes.
Cameron Black : The woman in the car with Jonathan. She was the illusionist all along.
Kay Daniels : Congratulations. You found her.
Cameron Black : Well, I couldn't have done it without my beautiful assistant.
Kay Daniels : Don't ever say that again.
Cameron Black : Yeah, nah, sounded weird coming out.
-
Cameron Black : How'd they get the bar in my bedroom?
Bartender : I give you Cameron Black, greatest bar magician who ever lived.
Cameron Black : Aw, Bob.
[taking a playing card stuck to his forehead off]
Cameron Black : Is this your card?
Bartender : Four of diamonds. Incredible.
Cameron Black : I've never woken up in a bar before. This is not a good sign.
-
Cameron Black : See, the problem with making a plane disappear isn't the illusion; it's where to hide it. Planes are... big and loud, if they take off. But the frontage road behind the hangar, it's got enough clearance. You see? Right there.
Kay Daniels : They drove it away. This warehouse district could give them cover. It's worth a look.
-
Kay Daniels : This is an active crime scene.
FBI Agent Mike Alvarez : Sir, you cannot be here.
[realizing who it is]
FBI Agent Mike Alvarez : You're Cameron Black. He's Cameron Black.
Kay Daniels : Yeah, I got that. What are you doing here?
Cameron Black : Looking for the proscenium. It's the perfect frame in which to view an illusion.
-
Cameron Black : I made a plane disappear on live TV. I know how they did it.
FBI Agent Mike Alvarez : He did. It was incredible. I must've watched it twenty times with my boys. I still have no idea how he pulled it off.

Cameron Black : Last night, someone performed a deck flip with your airplane. The plane was the top card, the smoke, the fire, all that, that was my hand, and the wreckage, all this, that's the reveal.
Kay Daniels : So you're saying that somebody swapped out a seven-ton airplane with fake wreckage in, what, minutes?
Cameron Black : Yep. They slid it. It was all on a platform. If you, uh, clear up some of this retardant, you'll find... grooves in the floor.
FBI Agent Mike Alvarez : We saw the plane explode.
Cameron Black : That was just pyrotechnics, a gas bomb to give you that nice, big fireball effect. The plane was already gone.
Kay Daniels : Now, Mr. Black, there is only one way in or out of this hangar. Last night, half my agents were blocking it.
Cameron Black : Illusion is misdirection. That is to say, forcing the audience to look one way while the real trick is happening someplace else.
