‘Smokin’ Aces’: Jeremy Piven Has The Magic Touch

Jeremy Piven headed for the Magic Castle in Los Angeles once he landed the part of a Las Vegas performer in “Smokin’ Aces.”

The Castle is a place where professional magicians hang out and perform. Piven says he needed to perform in front of them to get an idea what it would feel like.

He picked an easy trick that most magicians try when they’re first starting. It’s called “the bottle trick.” Piven made a beer bottle disappear and was immediately hooked on magic.

Piven says being a musician made magic easy for him, but only to a point.

He also says he was able to give a crazy look in the movie by tapping into the `substances’ he says he used to `dabble’ in back in the day.

“Smokin’ Aces” opens tomorrow.
