"The Great Gatsby" makes the reader think of famous magicians like "The great Houdini" and "The Great Blackstone". This suggests that the persona of Jay Gatsby is a masterful illusion.

Gatsby's talent for reinvention is what makes him "Great"

("... and he created just the sort of Jay Gatsby that a seventeen year old boy would be likely to invent... and to this conception, he was faithful to the end."),

and his ability to turn hopes and dreams into reality.
