Been there.

The one that drove me crazy was how the hell are we to believe he was able to pry the jewels out of the bad guy's sword for the few brief moments he held it during the sword trick?

It doesn't help that the movie features a character trying to figure out how he does his tricks, therefore drawing our attention to the absurdity of the whole thing. Suppose instead they used real magic tricks unassisted by CGI played out in one unbroken take?

But then they might not have been able to beat the Prestige to the box office a month earlier.
