Not necessarily two themes, but two devices. Two things, each of which require us to suspend our disbelief and just 'accept'. So one of them has a strange multiple-personality-disorder which they have the ability to consciously control. (Ok, I can accept that).... and he meets someone else who happens to have the same strange condition... (mmmm a bit weird and 'strangely convenient')... and that person has exactly the same obscure profession Illusionist.... (now I'm feeling quite stretched for credulity)... Thats what I meant by 'double mumbo-jumbo' in this case.
look, perhaps you can make it work, but personally, I found "Me, myself and Irene" to be a bit annoying and difficult to 'suspend my disbelief'... now you're suggesting a plot which "doubles-down" on that film's worst characteristic (I.M.O), the exaggerated multiple personality disorder, , and expands on it further by making it controllable. Just my 2c.
Good luck with it all anyway!
