Camera and Editing.
The immediate close up of the first mans face leaves the audience assuming this the or one of the main antagonists, as well as focusing immediately and solely on his actions as is common place of a card trick which in terms of trying to figure how its done. Camera work is similarly shown for each new character in a specific way relevant to their talent (e.g. Zooming out of a picture of the hypnotists eyes and leading to the older version of the character, the quick cuts and range of shots for the escape artist with a high action routine) these camera movements and editing choices not only lead the audience to be more interested in the characters but equally with the film itself.
Cutting through each of these characters locations and other areas of the mese en scene as well as over-viewing their ability proves an effective way of covering the characters that - being in this format - are the most important ones or at least ones to pay attention to, as well as proceeding with something that could have caused problems in terms of amount of set up.This making the scene a dynamic one overall, not lingering on specific tricks and going onto a new character quickly to prevent making the sequence boring.
