Jesse Eisenberg Says His Son is Already Practicing Magic Tricks

It sounds like Jesse Eisenberg‘s son has inherited his dad’s love of magic!

The 42-year-old star is busy promoting his new movie Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, the third overall in the trilogy, but he found time to give us some rare insight into his family life with wife Anna Strout and their 8-year-old son Banner.

“My kiddo loves magic,” Jesse told E! News at the film’s world premiere in New York City. “They’re about to see Now You See Me: Now You Don’t. And then of course we’re gonna work backwards to Now You See Me, the second act, and then of course the original.”

Funnily enough, his son thought that he could automatically do magic without needing to practice.

“It’s funny to see,” Jesse continued. “I’ll work on something for a while and do it, and then my kid will basically just do the ending of the trick, assuming that it’s just as good.”

Throughout the years and the many tricks he’s learned and performed on-screen, the one that sticks out as his favorite is the Snap Change.

“[It’s] basically a little card shift where you’re holding one card and then in an instant it appears you’re holding another card. It’s a very quick thing, but it took me months to get right. It really did.”

Watch the final trailer for Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, in theaters this Friday, November 14!
