Keith Barry’s Hollywood moment..
It’s been said that Keith Barry has created a monster. Not Now You See Me 2 – the star-studded illusionist caper, which, despite some mixed reviews Stateside, is actually rollicking good fun – but rather Woody Harrelson, whom Barry skilled up on magic tricks for Harrelson’s role in the movie.
