Now You See Me (2013) is a movie full of trickery and mind games. This scene where the Four Horsemen perform the finale of their show- the bank robbery scene.
Costume Design- Jenny Eagan is known for her work on No
Country for Old Men (2007), Catch Me If You Can (2002) and Iron Man 2 (2010).
She was an assistant or a costumer during these movies, but I believe that they
prepared her for the job as designer of the whole film.
Generally, the costume designer design costumes or purchase
appropriate clothing as they see fit when they look through the script. Planning
what clothes and accessories the characters will wear in each scene is
critical.

The hair and make-up designers are responsible for creating
the overall look the Director wishes to achieve for the characters they are
working with. Hair & Make Up Assistants are not usually responsible for
primary actors, and instead will monitor extras or large crowd scenes.

Gestalt Principles
Law of Similarity: As the group stands up on stage,
their attire is definitely similar which allows the audience to identify who is
running the show. There is a definite contrast in the dark attire the main cast
is wearing compared to the chosen contestant who is wearing the white suit.
Law of Pragnanz: I believe that Pragnanz is
applicable because this isn’t an extravagant show with over the top costumes, makeup
or attire. The presentation is simple with every character looking alike and
elegant. Even the audience’s attire gives off a stylish fashion, but nothing
too flashy or trashy because it is a Vegas show.
Law of Continuity: With the wardrobe, it creates a
sense of team on stage. Also, because they are spread out and with their split
dialogue, the audience’s eyes are drawn from person to person. For example, I
goes from Woody to Jessie to Isla. Their wardrobe allows the audiences' eyes to drift across the stage and watch the show with ease.
Law of Closure: The presentation of the show conducted
by the Four Horsemen and seen by the audience gives this scene closure. It is
in an arena so the space is very intimate, therefore the stage is seen as the
whole even though the Horsemen are spread out. The team brings the show to the center
of attention because they are together. Even when the contestant transport to the bank and he is missing, the show still goes on and continues to have you at the edge of your seat.
