Actor EDWARD NORTON became so skilled at performing magic tricks on the set of his recent movie THE ILLUSIONIST, one expert believes he could enjoy a successful career as a magician.
Magic consultant JAMES FREEDMAN was blown away by Norton's prowess.
Freedman says, "He was a natural and spent months perfecting each stunt. He could have been a great magician.
"There's a scene where he dances an orange underneath his hand, in what looks like a gravity-defying trick, and Ed mastered it himself. We were very impressed."
