To debut the new Now You See Me, Now You Don't movie, Lionsgate partnered with Versus to create a first-of-its-kind Times Square stunt that blurred the line between spectacle and surprise.
At the center: a giant digital countdown, a glass box filling with real cash, and a cryptic message to “text for something magic.”
As thousands engaged, the cast appeared, a livestream spread the chaos — and then, poof — the money vanished in a cloud of smoke.
Only to reappear… in audience members’ bank accounts.
