SYNOPSIS
Superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) have ruled the Las Vegas strip for years, raking in millions with illusions as big as Burt’s growing ego. But lately the duo’s greatest deception is their public friendship, while secretly they’ve grown to loathe each other.
Facing cutthroat competition from guerilla street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), whose cult following surges with each outrageous stunt, even their show looks stale. But there’s still a chance Burt and Anton can save the act – both onstage and off – if Burt can get back in touch with what made him love magic in the first place.
“The Incredible Burt Wonderstone” Blu-ray Combo Pack contains more than 45 minutes of special features, including Making Movie Magic with David Copperfield, Gag Reel and Deleted Scenes & Alternate Takes.
“The Incredible Burt Wonderstone” Standard Definition DVD includes the Gag Reel.
