Now You See Me Headcanons

Hello Horsemen! Welcome to the Now You See Me headcanons blog. This is a place to submit, read, and discuss all the different ways in which you imagine the characters from the film. Please be respectful of all the opinions presented here. Let the magic begin!

Am I the only one who is extremely protective of Jack and gets exceedingly angry whenever anyone hurts him and totally jealous whenever he gets hit on? Are you like this too or do you know anyone like this? I gotta fangirl with someone...

I do love Jack! Horsemen, thoughts?

Jack had never left New York before becoming a member of the Horsemen.

Although Henley Reeves is no longer with the Four Horsemen, Dylan still keeps tabs on her. He will always be there if she wants to reach out to their original group, and the group will always greet her with open arms.

They’re proud of her and everything she accomplished on her own.

Your local blog owner is seeing the new film tonight!! Later tonight or tomorrow I'll be formally opening everything back up & we'll be back in business - get excited!

[nysmheadcanons]

Is this blog gonna become more active now that the second movie is gonna be released soon? :) (please say yes)

Hopefully! I’m currently finishing my freshman year of college (one week left!) so things are a bit hectic for me, but I will hopefully be here to post headcanons as they come in. I’ll do some sort of official “reopening” post when I have some time set aside. But to all the horsemen out there - yes! NYSMHeadcanons is coming back!

We’re channeling a little “Where’s Waldo” with this one. Who’s ready for #NowYouSeeMe2? @nysmmovie

Daniel's voice cracks even though he knows Jack is alive because he can't bear the thought of losing him.

When Jack was at high school age (he went to high school for a while but dropped out eventually), he would visit this school to meet a girl and do a few tricks for her.

Daniel was a virgin, and Henley was his first before she left.

Money wasn't the only thing Merritt lost. His wife left and dragged the kids with her after his brother ran off. To this day he only sees them a few times a year. Dylan sent the kids tickets to the Vegas show, not telling Merritt because it was supposed to be a surprise after forcing the divorced dad to cancel Christmas. Both parties were happy with this arrangement.

The one whose hand Henley grabbed at the carousel was Merritt, not Danny.

On the plane, Danny acted jealous about Merritt and Henley flirting only because they needed to give Danny a reason to try mentalism on their sponsor. Really, he is totally okay with the two of them.

The reason Henley received the High Priestess tarot card is because Dylan has been watching her for the longest amount of time and recognizes her true magical potential.

After the events of the movie, the Horseman, Dylan, and Alma all moved into a big house out in the middle if nowhere.

Jack kept the cop uniform (he wears it for Daniel).

According to the legend, the Eye is everywhere. That might have mean that the members of the Eye are hiding in plain sight, with an occupation that people will overlook.  Such as janitor, cashier, window-cleaner, a even a waiter. There is a possibility that Rhodes has some of colleagues watching over both the Four Horsemen AND Alma, the latter is due to their concerns that she might dig too deep. 

However, Rhodes tell them that faith is one of the principles that they need to hold up.

Hi! You are into crossover, right? The idea of an Inception/NYSM crossover has been spinning around my head, but I can't make anything clear. How do you think it could happen? Thanks!

Hi! Yeah, I absolutely am - since we haven't had much content since the film, crossovers are a great way to keep this fandom alive!

Hm... Well, it's been a while since I've seen Inception, but perhaps you could make the Horsemen a team thingy & Tressler the mark? That's the first thing that comes to mind & it'd be a crossover that's pretty accurate to both films.

Anybody else have ideas?
