Answer: We open with J. Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg) demonstrating a card trick to us, as he explains, "Come in close. Closer. Because the more you think you see, the easier it will be to fool you.

My job: to take that most precious of gifts you give me - your attention - and use it against you."Chicago, Monday:Daniel is a street performer in Chicago.

Answer:
Following his graduation from university in 1956, aspiring filmmaker Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne) travels to London to get a job on Laurence Olivier's (Kenneth Branagh) next production.
