- 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: 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: 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.
