Though this unintentionally comes to make Dylan's life a bit harder, perhaps they anticipated that Tressler Insurance would deny the payout and the ramifications thereof, because (1) that would render Dylan dependent upon the Eye, grooming him into his role as Lionel's successor, and (2) to give him a reason to take down Tressler for them.]]

Firstly, I'm convinced [[spoiler: Shrike]] is alive. We've now seen [[spoiler: Dylan escape from a prototype safe,]] so it seems like an obvious twist for the next movie. He's one level further up in The Eye.

Don't get me wrong, he wants all the Horsemen together. However, with someone of [[spoiler: Walter's]] technical genius they'd be truly unstoppable. However, he knew that Water would need to have the mother of all [[HeelFaceturn Heel Face Turns]] to be viable as a Horseman. So, the ultimate goal of NYSM2 was actually to get [[spoiler: Tresler to reject his son,]] which leaves [[spoiler: Walter]] vulnerable and open to manipulation.

The theme of a third movie will be something to the effect of "a trick that's so amazing, you don't even care if you know how it's done." This will tie into [[spoiler: Walter realizing how he's been manipulated into joining the Horsemen...but ultimately not caring.]]

* The eye is a society of trustworthy magicians (going back as far as the legend says, or almost as far) that teach each other their secrets. New members are chosen due to having some amazing skill that the members want. In exchange, the members teach their skills to the new members, overall bettering the Eye as well as "magic". Merrit has skills that already seem supernatural, going beyond even Hollywood hypnosis. It stands to reason that there are others out there that have a similar level of skill in their art without "real magic".

The tarot card symbolism and elaborate, needlessly complex tricks were to help kick start the magician's Awakenings. The Horsemen were chosen because they had skills that the order wanted in agents and the entire plot is to hopefully push them to awaken. Dylan just wanted to get some revenge on the side, but the targets could have been anyone. In addition, the public magic acts help enforce the idea that magic is just an illusion, protecting "true" magic from the masses.
