\nMagicians.co.uk were magic consultants<\/a> on the film, creating a range of amazing effects and teaching the actors special techniques. The film was directed by Neil Burger, who commented on the work of our magic consultant James Freedman<\/a>; \u201cNot only could you always rely on him, but he saved us many times. We couldn\u2019t have done it without him and wouldn\u2019t have wanted to. His contribution was enormous.\u201d<\/p>\n
