The Incredible Burt Wonderstone looks like it was a lot of fun to make. How could the actors take themselves seriously in those wigs, fake tan and costumes?

Steve Carell plays titular character Burt, a magician whose career goes down the pan after falling ticket sales. His magic partner is Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi), his life long friend. The two separate when their show falls apart.

Enter Jim Carey as Steve Gray, a street performer illusionist. With long blond hair and no costume, he wows the crowds and the media with more and more elaborate tricks. One such trick sees him hold his pee for 12 days.

Burt is adamant he will regain his popularity and rejoins his partner Anton. The two compete with their enemy creating outrageous tricks to wow crowds.

llusionist David Copperfield, helped design an elaborate hangman body-switch trick for the movie.

Dan Scardino of 30 Rock fame directs the movie while the screen play is by John Francis Daley – writer of Horrible Bosses and actor in Freaks and Geeks.

It is set for release in the USA on March 15 next year, but there is no set release date for Ireland yet.
