On Youtube their is the video of Melanie Laurent (the woman who plays Alma in the movie) doing a card trick. I saw that again this morning and knew I had to put that into the Now You See Me world, so this chapter is taken from that video. I hope you enjoy. :)

Also, Mistrel Fox, I got your review after I had already wrote it, so it's not exactly Dylan centered, but he's in here! I'll write a Dylan centered one here soon though. I've been leaving him out, but he'll come in again soon. :)

Pick a Card

"Pick a card."

Daniel glanced up at the blond haired woman sitting beside him, deck of cards fanned out in her hands. He glanced quickly across the room, taking in the amused looks of his fellow Horsemen. He sighed. Ever since the heists had been completed and they had flown to France to live until the news died down back in the States, Alma—the pretty Interpol agent and Dylan's girlfriend—had become all but obsessed with learning simple magic tricks. She was a fast learner, they all admitted, but she just wasn't very good.

"Really, Alma?" Daniel sighed, reaching out and picking a card. "Again?"

"Yes." The French woman replied, exaggeratingly turning half around, arms extended, and eyes shut tight.

Daniel sighed and, after memorizing his card—the ten of diamonds—he stuck it back into the pack. Daniel leaned back in his chair and looked over at his friends, completely missing the grin Alma sent Dylan's way and the little nod and smile of encouragement he sent back. By the time Daniel turned back around, Alma was shuffling the cards, focusing on the movements.

"And again, and again, and again." She said with a little laugh, continuing to shuffle the cards.

She was in mid-shuffle when the cards slipped from her hand. She shouted out in surprise as one card landed face down on the couch between her and Daniel. Ignoring the smug grin on Daniel's face, she reached down and picked the card up, holding it out to show it around.

"Is this your card?"

Daniel's grin fell as he saw the ten of diamonds. He looked from the card up to her face in complete shock, not having expected her to actually find his card, much less actually putting on a performance with the dropping of the card and shout.

"Yes." He managed to croak out.

Alma smiled triumphantly and jumped to her feet, ran over to Dylan and grabbed him in a hug.

"I told you!" She exclaimed cheerfully.

"Yes you did." Dylan chuckled, hugging her back.

He looked over at Daniel and chuckled, wishing he had a camera. It wasn't often that someone managed to pull one over on the showman. Especially not a brand new magician. Dylan grinned. He sure knew how to pick them.
