Starting when Burt was a child and how he got into magic, growing up with his childhood friend and partnering to create a well received magic show in Las Vegas. Eventually, their act grows stale as it hasn't changed much over the past ten years, and being overtaken by a street magician called Steve Gray with unconventional magic tricks. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone does not take itself too seriously but tries to convey a story about friendship and finding yourself again when you had lost your way. The downfall of Burt was a painful one to see but also you felt that he deserved it. As he slowly climbs his way back up, you start to side with him. The magic tricks show in the movie err on the side of fantasy and especially the big finale trick, would never happen in reality. There were some odd scenes where you're confused at how it managed to pass review because it made the movie really weird. Overall, the movie was still entertaining and fun to watch.
