    The Turkish translators for Now You See Me decided they will localize it to “Sihirbazlar Çetesi,” which roughly means “Wizards Gang.” (Magicians?)

    The poster for "now you see me" with Turkish name "Sihirbazlar Cetesi" on bottom.

    Duckduckgo showing "Sihirbazlar Çetesi" gets translated to "Gang of Wizards"

      Maybe Turkey doesn’t have an expression akin to “now you see me, now you don’t”?

      Could have instead translated the trilogy as “Abracadabra,” "Alakazam, and “hocus pocus” or whatever the turkish equivalent of that is. “Elemtere fiş kem gözlere şiş”
