Burt is a magician, and his partner, Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) grew up as best friends and got through their adolescent years watching magic tapes from Rance Holloway (Alan Arkin). Once they grew up and became legitimate magicians, their friendship started to die. And their act begins to crumble with the arrival of Steve Gray, an obnoxious magician similar to Criss Angel who has a show called "Mind Rape". Which are sort of what Jim Carrey's scenes are like. When he speaks, it is absolutely hilarious. But most of the time he is on screen, he is sticking a drill in his head or cutting his face open or holding his urine for a few days. Olivia Wilde plays Jane, Burt's new assistant (they go through assistants very quickly). Burt calls her "Jessica" because Jessica was the previous assistant, and he also tries flirting with her. James Gandolfini has some hilarious moments as the owner of the casino that Burt and Anton reside at.
