What was the point in having CGI magic in this film? The magic tricks on their own were cool & interesting, but having CGI stuff that clearly is bunk with it purporting to be magic makes it all look ridiculous. It makes suspension of belief in the story (which is pretty silly anyway) impossible.

I agree. By using CGI they are missing their own point that magic is MAGICAL. Wouldn't it have been just as easy to use CGI to replicate the real magic tricks?
It seemed the movie was slapped together in haste. A string of first takes strung together no matter how bad it looks. The acting was the only good part of a film that boasted special effects. Too bad.
