Mummy star Rachel Weisz and Harry Potter actor Robbie Coltrane have been talking about their new film The Brothers Bloom, about an actress who comes up against two swindlers. They spoke to Newsbeat about being conned, mastering difficult card tricks and what we can expect next from Harry Potter.

Rachel, you had to learn a lot of skills for this, which was the hardest?

The hardest one for me was doing the card trick. Some people think that was a fake, it was someone else doing it. It was me. And it was a good five-minute card trick. I didn’t even know how to shuffle a pack of cards when I started this movie. I was taught by a magician from the Magic Circle in England and he came out to where we were filming and taught me for two weeks. I had to do the card trick while delivering a monologue about my dysfunctional childhood. It was definitely the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my career.

What about driving the Lamborghini?

I wasn’t allowed to be in the Lamborghini when it was in motion. I was only allowed to be in it when it was still. They’re what, a million pounds? What does a Lamborghini cost? They didn’t trust me behind the wheel. I’m actually a very good driver but they didn’t believe me.
