The final location from this film is the Macau Science Centre, where the tech heist is supposed to take place. At least it is the exterior part of the building that scene on screen, I doubt very much the actual heist was filmed inside.

Now You See Me 2 - Mark Ruffalo (2016) - Rua da Tercena, Macau
With a heist to pull off and limited resources, the group head off to the world's oldest magic shop run by Jay Chou and his mum, Tsai Chin. Tong's Magic Shop. The exterior for the shop is on Rua da Tercena and in real life (at least according to whenever Google was mapping the place) is a shop called "Movies Usados Son kei" i.e. the Sun Gei used movie store (note to self to check it out next time I am there).
The sequence starts off with the four walking down Rua dos Ervanarios into the small square (for want of a better word) where it joins with Rua da Tercena - the location of the shop exterior.

Now You See Me 2 - Mark Ruffalo (2016) - Sands Casino Hotel, Macau
I haven't looked at who helped finance this film but I will make a guess that Sands put up some big dollar to get featured so prominently in the film. The Sands is supposedly where Daniel Radcliffe's elusive character has been holed up for a considerable amount of time whilst he pretended to be dead. It's here (actually, judging by the surroundings, a studio copy) where the Four Horseman are coerced into a robbery and also in the casino hall where some of their plan starts to take shape. It's also from atop of this building that Radcliffe's character is able to keep an eye on them to make sure they have succeeded in their caper.

Now You See Me 2 - Mark Ruffalo (2016) - Avenida Sir Anders Ljungstedt, Macau
The four protagonists are taken to meet their kidnapper in the form of Daniel Radcliffe sporting a very dodgy beard. He intends to coerce them into stealing a piece of tech from a nearby expo. The route they take in the car to get to the meeting with him goes via Avenida Sir Anders Ljungstedt. The road is named after Sweden's very first Consul to China and wikipedia has a little bit more information about him.

Now You See Me 2 - Mark Ruffalo (2016) - Rua da Felicidade, Macau
Back to the near present for the next movie and the follow up to the 2013 Now You See Me. This one starts off in the US but then "magically" moves to Macau as the "Four Horseman" are somehow flown several thousand miles across the earth whilst making their escape down an industrial waste chute.
The initial location where they first realise they are in Macau was filmed on the Rua da Felicidade, a street famous for its past as a one strip red light area. The actual shopfront where they pop out onto the street is at the very bottom (i.e.the western end) where the older 1-storey buildings end. If you look on GoogleEarth, you can see the yellow painted facade building is the place. It is part of a larger (but still old) block at the end of the street adjacent to the Fat Siu Lau restaurant.
