Original subtitles

(bomb exploding)

- [Host] Illusion, the art of tricking the brain,

distorting the senses, challenging perception.

You can't trust what you see, even with your own eyes.

Meet the "Masters of Illusion."

(bomb exploding)

(energetic music)

(fire roaring)

(audience cheering) (upbeat music)

- Get ready to be dazzled by the art of the impossible.

I'm Dean Cain, and you are watching "Masters of Illusion."

(audience cheering)

Now, magic, it's more than just tricks.

It's a journey into the unknown,

where the impossible becomes possible

and the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

Now I'm here to take you on that journey tonight

as we witness some

of the most mind-blowing- - Hey, Dean,

it's okay.

I made it, I made it,

I made it, I made it. (audience applauding)

- Dan Sperry's here, so we're in good shape.

- Am I even on this episode?

I don't know.

- Yeah, you are now.

- But no, Dean, I'm sorry.

I had a horrible connection layover in Palm Desert.

It was awful. You know, Coachella.

I went outside at the airport

and there was this weird trust fund hippie kid with a sign.

He sold me candy. It tasted like soap. It was disgusting.

(audience laughing) - And as he took off his cap,

the cap opened up like a vortex, and I walked into it.

It became a magical force.

As his dreadlocks cascaded over his shoulders,

a piece of Dorito chip emerged. Disgusting.

And I wanna go in your imagination much like that

right now. I want you to experience that.

This is his hat.

He took off his hat.

They always wear hats like this.

- Of course they do, why?

- Nothing inside.

Reach down inside, pull it inside out, Dean.

There's nothing inside the hat. What's that?

That's an old Dorito chip. Don't eat that.

(audience laughing) - Oh God!

- Dean, I want you to go inside your imagination,

much like I did right now, into that magical forest.

- Better than my imagination than yours.

- Name a number one to five.

- Four. - Four.

- No.

Dean, you're in that magical forest right now.

You're walking through the rows of trees.

Are you there?

- All right, I'm there.

- Great.

I want you to reach up and remove a fruit,

pluck a fruit from one of those branches in your mind.

You have it?

- Got it. - Great.

- Toss it in the bag.

Wasn't that fun?

(audience laughing) - That was fun.

- Dean, out of any fruits,

you're walking through this rows of trees,

much like an orchard.

- Yes.

- You reach up and you plucked one fruit.

What fruit did you pluck?

- Orange.

- An orange.

You're in an orchard, not a grove.

- Orchard.

An apple.

- An apple.

- Amazing. - Yes.

- Dean, we didn't set this up.

- No, we did not. - No, no, no.

- There's no way I could've known what fruit you'd pick.

Dean, you threw one fruit inside this hat.

Empty hat from your imagination.

Reach down inside the hat.

Hold up that fruit nice and high for everybody to see.

Dean, no, Dean, you suck at this game.

- It's a lemon.

- Okay, but Dean,

but Dean, in your mind, you thought of a fruit.

- Yeah, I did.

- You said apple.

- I did say apple.

- Now if I were to take this knife,

answer this question correctly.

- Yes sir, I will.

- If I were to take this knife and cut open this lemon,

and inside was an apple, that'd be amazing, wouldn't it?

- That would be amazing.

- Wouldn't it?

It'd be amazing.

It'd be amazing, wouldn't it, sir?

That'd be ridiculous.

- It'd be impossible. - Yes, it would be.

- 'Cause this isn't even a knife.

This is a marker.

(audience laughing)

- [Dean] Yes it is.

Thank God.

- And if I were to write a prediction with the marker,

I wouldn't write it on a lemon.

That'd be ridiculous.

- Yes, it would.

- I'd write it on a piece of paper.

- That used to be a lemon.

- And onside that piece of paper,

I would write down the word apple.

(audience applauding) Magic show!

Which just happened

to be the flavor of that soap candy.

Boom!

(audience laughing)

- Remind me never to go to Coachella with Dan Sperry.

Let's let the magic begin.

(audience cheering)

Prepare to be astonished by a magician

who combines creativity and precision

to deliver unforgettable illusions.

He's an award-winning performer

who has taken the world of closeup magic by storm,

captivating audiences everywhere,

including right here.

Let's give a warm welcome to the extraordinary Dreygon.

(audience cheering) (upbeat electronic music)

- Hey guys.

My name is Dreygon,

and I have been doing magic for just over 13 years now.

So, that's pretty much over half my life, yeah.

And over the years,

I have seen so many card tricks.

As a magician, you see a lot of card tricks.

And I thought instead of doing

the regular card trick, you know, pick a card, I found it,

I wanna do the world's most interesting card trick.

You see, most card tricks have a beginning and an end.

What's interesting about this card trick

is the end already happened.

The end has ended before the beginning begun.

What's your name?

- Alyssa.

- Alyssa, you're gonna pick a card,

but it doesn't matter 'cause I already found it.

(audience laughing)

So Alyssa, I don't even have a normal deck of cards

because it's the world's most interesting card trick.

I have a deck made up of pieces of paper

that have different celebrity names on it.

You can see we have Margo Robbie, Daniel Radcliffe,

Harry Potter, Albert Einstein, Ed Sheeran.

(audience laughing)

And, yeah, there's like 50 or so.

I'm just gonna have you choose one of these.

So go ahead, just take one out.

And I want you to hide it so I can't see it, okay?

And just hold onto it.

And this is where it's gonna get interesting

because you chose that name, yes?

The trick's over now because that was the beginning.

The end already happened.

(audience laughing) Thanks.

(audience applauding) Thanks.

But for real, what do I mean?

Well, before you chose that card,

I took a photo of that celebrity,

put it inside an envelope,

put that envelope inside this notebook,

and that photo of that celebrity was your celebrity.

You don't believe me, do you?

Well, here, I'll prove it.

I'll prove it.

Obviously, it's in here.

And there's a drawing of an envelope, right?

What was the name of your celebrity?

- Can I tell you?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Show it, show it.

Is that Johnny Depp?

Johnny Depp.

If everyone uses their imagination, look.

(audience gasping)

It becomes real.

But wait, if what I said is true,

then inside of this envelope should be a photograph.

Not just any photograph.

I actually got a very early photo

of Johnny Depp in his career right here.

(baby crying) (audience laughing)

It's a ultrasound for you guys in the back.

(audience laughing)

But no, I told you I would have a photo of Johnny Depp.

So that's exactly why right here I have a

photo of Johnny Depp.

(audience cheering)

Thank you guys so much.

- Prepared to be amazed

by a magician whose breathtaking illusions

have left millions in awe.

With his unique ability to blend elegance and mystery,

this award-winning illusionist

has become a staple on stages worldwide.

Let's give a warm welcome

to the extraordinary David Goldrake.

(audience cheering) (upbeat electronic music)

- Hello everyone, and welcome.

My name is David Goldrake.

We're here with Fanny and with Arnold.

You guys have been together for how many years?

- Three years.

(audience laughing) - See, they weren't even sure.

I mean, Fanny looked very convinced.

It's always the same story, right?

Now, Arnold and Fanny,

we have a solid pane of glass right here

that I brought you this afternoon.

I would like you to examine it, make sure it's solid,

make sure there are no openings or trap doors,

no invisible slits.

Go ahead.

I want you to make sure that

it's exactly what it looks like.

Yes?

We're both very reserved.

- It's exactly what it looks like.

- It is exactly what it looks like.

Yes.

We also have three coins.

Good job, Arnold.

Number one, number two, number three.

Now, do you both believe in destiny?

- Yes. - Yes.

- Of course, yeah.

(audience laughing)

- Now they say that once in a lifetime, someone comes along,

they are absolutely meant to be with.

Time stops, the planets align,

the universe feels perfect.

For Fanny and Arnold, that person's me.

(audience laughing)

We're all going to perform a very special illusion for you.

It involves three coins, a pane of glass.

You'll all be able to see it, to hear it,

and in your case, Fanny, feel it.

I hope you enjoy it.

(upbeat drum music)

Solid glass.

Solid metal.

Can you please check the coin one last time before we start?

Make sure it's on top.

Is everything the way it should be?

- Yeah. - Yes.

- Now everybody watch.

Coin number one.

(upbeat drum music)

(audience applauding)

- Eh?

- Wow.

(audience laughing)

- Second coin.

Fanny, watch close.

(upbeat drum music)

(audience applauding)

There's one right here.

You can examine them because

that's going to be yours, Fanny.

One solid coin, one solid pane of glass.

The other two coins are right here.

You're going to take your hand,

hold it underneath like a little table.

We're going to put the first coin on top of Fanny's fingers.

Second coin right here.

Fanny, press your hand against the glass,

tip it forward so we can all see the coins.

And now for the skeptics among us, Fanny,

may I ask you to lower your hand one last time?

Lower your hand.

Show everyone the coins.

Can you all see them?

Bring it back up.

And now whatever happens, don't move.

(audience gasping) Coin number three.

(audience applauding)

Coin number one, number two, and number three.

(audience applauding)

Let's give it up for Fanny and for Arnold!

(audience cheering) (bomb exploding)

- [Host] Coming up,

Trino does the world's smallest load of laundry.

- We also have this laundry basket.

Anthony, that's for you.

- [Host] And later,

a magical science lesson from Adam Wilde.

- I don't know if you know this,

but rubber bands are not a solid,

They are actually a liquid,

which means that they can go straight through one another.

- [Host] "Masters of Illusion" is just getting started.

(bomb exploding) (audience cheering)

(upbeat electronic music) (audience cheering)

(fire roaring)

- Now for a magician who has been wowing audiences

with his unique mix of humor, charm,

and high-impact magic.

His modern approach

to the ancient art of illusion is as entertaining

as it is mind blowing.

Please welcome the one and only Trino.

(audience cheering) (upbeat electronic music)

- I have Nicolette and Anthony here.

And recently, I found out that a lot

of students graduating from high school,

going off to college, out in the real world,

they don't know a lot of very basic life skills.

You've probably seen this as well.

And it's really not their fault

'cause we took that class out of school for them

to learn those things.

So I wanted to illustrate that.

Today, we are going to do

the world's smallest load of laundry.

Now, Nicolette, I don't wanna put you on the spot,

but do you do your own laundry?

- Yes, I do. - And Anthony?

- You do your own as well.

Now there might be somebody out here who's

sitting who does not, and that's okay.

If you don't know how to do it,

I'm gonna teach you how to do it

and you'll be able to go home and do your own laundry.

Now, is that cool?

(audience laughing) All right.

What I brought with me here is two very fun pairs

of dress socks.

And I also have this laundry basket.

Anthony, that's for you.

Make sure there's no tigers,

trapped doors, nothing in there.

And Nicolette, I have two really fun pairs of socks.

I'll give you those ones.

If you would, there's a safety pin up top there.

All you do is just unpin that.

You can pull it out.

Don't poke yourself.

Give 'em a shake.

Show that you got just two socks.

Perfect.

Put 'em back together, stick that pin through.

We're gonna take these ones right here.

Anthony, these socks are going to go

inside of this cup right here.

We're gonna keep the toes sticking out just like that.

Anthony, all you gotta do is make sure no

funny business happens.

- All right.

- Perfect.

All right.

Nicolette, we got these as well.

Now, before, I would've pushed an entire washing machine out

here on stage to do this one.

But for all of you today,

you gotta use a little bit of imagination.

This is the newest model that just came out.

(audience laughing)

Nicolette, go ahead and drop your socks in there.

You pinned them?

- Yes.

- Now, if you do your own laundry at home,

you've probably had this happen in your homes

on a weekly basis.

I'm of course talking about the vanishing sock in the dryer.

You seen this?

You ever wonder why you go in the dryer and you find money,

but you're missing socks?

(audience laughing)

It almost proves the existence of some sort

of sock fairy, right?

(audience laughing) Yeah.

Nicolette, here's what we're gonna do.

We're gonna fold this bag down.

I don't know if you have one of those top load

washing machine or dryers.

Yeah?

- No, mine's low.

- The front load.

All right.

Now, have you ever washed an entire load of laundry?

- [Nicolette] Yes.

- Washed it like from up top?

- Oh, no. - No, no.

- I didn't have a lot of friends in high school, Nicolette.

That was it.

(audience laughing) Nicolette, if you would,

hold out your pointer finger and thumb on both hands

and I want you to hold onto

the sides of that washing machine.

Can you see your socks in there?

- Yes. - Yes.

- Hold that as far from your body as you are comfortable.

And Nicolette, we are going

to do the world's smallest load of laundry.

Now, for anyone out here who doesn't know,

after you throw your clothes in,

there's one more thing you have to add,

which is of course the...

- Soap.

- The soap.

Yeah, you got it.

The soap, that's right.

Nicolette, your soap's right up there.

Go ahead and grab it.

Yep.

And I want you to pour that in.

And I forgot to mention,

sound effects really help everybody

kind of get in the zone on this.

So when you put that soap in,

that sounds like...

- Whoosh!

(audience laughing) - That was pretty good.

(audience applauding)

We'll give it up for that.

That's great.

And then it starts spinning around.

It goes through a spin cycle to see

how saturated it needs to get.

That's great.

Something else starts coming in.

That's of course the...

What is it?

- Water. - The water.

- That kind of sounded like the soap, but that's all right.

The water comes in.

That sounds like the reverse of the soap.

I like it.

And then usually you said you're not sitting

there looking at the laundry the whole

time as it goes, right?

- Yeah.

- You're in a different room and you hear a noise

and that signals it's done.

- Ding!

- Ding.

(audience laughing)

(Nicolette laughing) - Very good.

- Mine shakes the whole house.

That's when I know it's done.

Nicolette, go ahead and pull your socks out of there.

Shake 'em open.

Look.

Nothing in the washing machine.

Anthony, you've been holding these

socks the whole time, right?

Look, nothing in my hands, nothing up my sleeves.

Anthony, I'm gonna take just the

toes of the socks right here.

Ready?

One, two, three.

(audience gasping)

(audience applauding)

Everybody keep it going for Anthony and Nicolette!

(audience cheering) I'll take that back.

Thank you so much!

(bomb exploding)

- [Host] Coming up, Jackson Ridd enlists

Alyssa's help in finding the right key.

- Now your odds will be pretty good, right?

Yeah.

That would be if we're only using two keys, right?

Okay.

- [Host] And later, Grace will put her life

in Mike Caveney's hands.

- Let this thing roll up over there, okay?

Careful!

Careful.

See, that's a good way to lose an eye.

(audience laughing)

- [Host] "Masters of Illusion" has

(bomb exploding) so much left up our sleeves.

Stick around.

(audience applauding) (upbeat electronic music)

(fire roaring)

- This act features a mentalist

whose performances are a blend

of science, psychology, and pure magic.

He has a gift for making the impossible seem possible,

all while keeping you on the edge of your seat.

Please welcome the one, the only Jackson Ridd.

(audience cheering) (upbeat rock music)

- All right.

Now, what is your name?

- Alyssa.

- Alyssa.

Alyssa, I have a question for you.

If I were to tell you that one of these two keys right here,

Alyssa, opened the doorway to your future,

those are pretty good odds, right?

- Yeah, let's see.

- Yeah.

(audience laughing) Choose one for me, please.

- [Alyssa] Take this one.

- That one?

Okay.

Why don't you go ahead and try

that key in this lock right over here?

- Turn it. - Open?

- [Jackson] Oh, it does not open, does it?

- [Alyssa] No.

- Darn.

Well, now your odds will be pretty good, right?

- Okay.

- Yeah.

That would be if we're only using two keys, right?

(audience laughing) Okay.

We have a lot more to play with over here.

So, what I would like you to do is I just sort

of mix these around.

I want you to focus on a place

that can maybe guide you throughout this process, okay?

A place you can picture clearly in your mind.

And we're gonna see if that leads you to the right place.

Okay?

All right.

So, Alyssa, here we are.

We're shuffling the keys around.

Go ahead and put your hand down on either side.

Okay.

Those over there?

Excellent.

We'll get rid of these over here.

And go ahead and lift up your hand.

As I'm collecting these,

I want you to take a look at those keys.

Take a look at the way they're cut.

See them, look at their,

notice how they're all different, right?

They're all cut differently,

which means they open different locks.

- Yeah.

- Because that's how keys work.

(audience laughing) But we are going to,

throughout this process,

hopefully be guided to the proper place,

to the proper key for you, okay?

So let's go ahead and get these

a little bit more lined up over here.

And once again,

place your hand down on either side.

Yeah.

So like, we'll do these for these.

Got it.

Okay.

So get rid of these.

And throughout this process,

let's just see if any of these are the right ones, okay?

So go ahead and just, we'll place this down.

You wanna try this one?

The ones that we didn't use?

Go ahead and try that.

Just make sure.

All the way in.

Perfect.

Try it, turn it.

Oh, does not work, right?

Okay.

So, so far you're choosing pretty good.

- Yeah. - All right.

- Okay.

So, here we go.

Once again, we have three, we have six left so far, okay?

So which side?

- I'll do this side.

- Yeah?

Okay.

Get rid of these.

Now, Alyssa, move your hand one more time,

it can't get fairer than this.

We've tried different keys.

We know that not every key opens the lock.

We've seen all the bidding on the keys is different.

They open different locks.

Choose one.

- Pick the middle one.

- You sure? - Yeah.

- Let's see if this key opens your destiny.

Go ahead and try it in the lock for me.

Turn it.

Give a round of applause, please, for Alyssa.

Very nice.

(audience applauding)

Now I have a question for you, Alyssa.

What's the place that you chose

to be guiding you throughout this process?

- Tokyo.

- Tokyo?

I never told you what's inside the box.

- Yeah.

- 'Cause inside of here is just one thing.

It's a little piece of paper, little luggage tag.

Alyssa, I think this is your sign to go to Tokyo.

(audience gasping)

(audience applauding)

There you go.

Give a round of applause for Alyssa, please.

Fantastic work.

(audience cheering)

(bomb exploding)

- [Host] Coming up,

Grace will put her life in Mike Caveney's hands.

- Let this thing roll up over there, okay?

Careful!

Careful.

See, that's a good way to lose an eye.

(audience laughing)

- [Host] And later,

a magical science lesson from Adam Wylie.

- I don't know if you know this,

but rubber bands are not a solid.

They are actually a liquid,

which means that they can go

(audience gasping) straight through one another.

- [Host] Plus, Farrell Dillion gives a masterclass in magic.

- Now an optical illusion, according to the internet,

is a visually perceived image

that differs from objective reality.

- [Host] "Masters of Illusion" has wonders in store.

(bomb exploding) Stay tuned.

(upbeat electronic music) (audience cheering)

(fire roaring)

- Prepared to be amazed

by a magician whose career spans over four decades

of performing, writing,

and preserving the art of magic.

Known for his innovative routines and classic illusions,

he's here to bring you a show filled

with wonder and history.

Let's give a warm welcome to the extraordinary Mike Caveney.

(audience applauding) - Thank you, Dean.

Thank all.

Go on.

Go. You haven't seen anything.

Thank you very much.

Great crowd.

Thank you so much.

I'm going to need the assistance of somebody to help me out.

I should explain that being a professional magician such

as I am, ah,

(audience laughing)

I have a lot of spare time on my,

that's what I'm trying to tell you,

of an unbelievable amount of spare time.

But I'm always practicing.

That's what we do.

Practice, practice, practice.

I spent the better part

of this past week practicing a little

trick shot with that bow and arrow.

And let me tell you something, my friends,

when this shot works, it's a real heart stopper.

(audience laughing)

And that's where you come in.

Round of applause for the lady.

(audience applauding) Come on up here.

Here she comes.

Very exciting.

Look at you.

Very nice.

Hello there.

Your name?

- Grace.

- Grace, I am Mike The Magnificent.

Ah!

(audience laughing)

Grace, let me ask you something.

Do you happen to know the entire story of William Tell?

- No.

- Excellent.

(audience laughing) No, it's better that way.

There's no sense of getting

Grace all worked up over nothing.

You have the easiest job of anybody here tonight.

All you have to do is reach into this pack of cards

and take out anyone you'd like.

I even let you see the faces so you get the one you want.

- [Grace] Okay.

- Fantastic job.

Grace, there's one other thing.

The management here at the network has asked me

to ask you if you would just take this pen

and write across the face, not your face,

(audience laughing) face of the card,

if you would just write the name

of the person whom we should contact in case of emergency.

(record scratching) Nothing to worry about.

Nothing to worry about.

Write across your face.

- Full name?

- Yeah.

Yeah, that'd be great.

And please, ladies and gentlemen, you too.

Please keep in mind, at all times, I'm an expert.

I never miss.

(audience laughing)

Okay, I missed one lousy shot once.

(audience laughing)

The lights were very bright.

Well, not this bright.

Anyway.

And Grace, please, please,

keep in mind yourself at all times,

just remember, I am an expert.

I never miss.

(audience laughing)

Perhaps you could hold that card up.

Let everybody see which one you have selected,

perhaps whose name you've written on that card.

Whose name did you put on that card?

- Starzackian.

- Starzackian.

- Yeah.

- Who's that?

- My mom.

(audience laughing) - Your mom.

Good thinking, Grace.

Why call 911 when mom is in the...

(audience laughing) It makes perfect sense.

I will take that card from you.

Here's something else you may not have known, Grace,

and that is that an ordinary pack

of 52 playing cards measures exactly

one half of an inch thick.

52 cards, one half inch.

Fascinating, isn't it?

- Yeah.

- Not particularly.

(audience laughing) Okay.

If I were to place Grace's card at the 26th position,

exactly halfway down,

that means that her card

would be one quarter of an inch from the top,

one quarter of an inch from the bottom of the deck.

You might wanna remember some of this.

It could be important later.

(audience laughing) - Okay.

- Now, Grace, are you right-handed or left-handed?

- I'm right-handed.

- Excellent.

I was hoping you'd say that.

I want you to hold the deck

of cards in your right hand

and I want you to hold the cards over your heart,

just like that,

but leaving me as large a target as possible.

(audience laughing) Okay.

That's good enough.

In your left hand, I want you

to hold on to this tape measure.

Look at this.

Some idiot left their pen in the middle of the stage.

All right.

(audience laughing)

Now, by using that tape measure, Grace,

I have measured the distance from the end of this string

to the tip of that arrow.

And I can tell you that it measures exactly 10 feet.

Now, in just a moment,

I'm going to position myself one quarter an inch,

less than 10 feet from that pack of cards.

I will then fire this poison tipped arrow into the air.

(audience laughing)

It will flash across the stage,

it will strike the pack dead center.

The needle-like point will cut a path

through the top 25 cards.

And when it reaches the 26th card, Grace's card,

the arrow will have reached the end of its line

and stop dead.

(audience laughing)

A feat that is so unbelievable that I would be a fool

to even attempt it if I had not been the two-time winner

of the Golden Quiver Award at the annual...

Whoa.

(audience laughing)

Thank you very much.

(audience laughing)

Do not provoke me.

(audience laughing)

I'm armed and humorous.

(audience laughing)

Grace, I gotta tell you,

you look a little worried back here, pal.

- Yeah.

- No, no, no.

You're forgetting the most important thing.

I'm an expert.

I never miss.

- [Grace] Okay.

- I'll tell you what,

sometimes when I'm afraid that I might be killed,

I have a little something

to help calm me down, settle my nerves.

Would you be any more comfortable wearing a blindfold?

(audience laughing)

It's up to you.

- Sure.

- Huh? - Sure.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Wow.

Well, you should've thought of

that before you came up here.

This one's for me.

(audience laughing)

Okay.

Grace, tape measure, tape measure.

Where's that tape measure?

Good, good, good.

All right.

Come up here, Grace.

Take that tape, take that tape.

Okay.

Back up, back up, back up, back up.

I'm gonna back up over here.

Okay, don't let me walk off the edge of this stage, folks.

(audience laughing)

Not again.

Okay.

Grace?

Grace, Grace.

Yeah, if you nod your head, I can't hear ya.

(audience laughing) All right.

I want you to look at the tape measure at the 10 foot mark.

120 inches.

On the tape, you will see a black arrow written.

Do you see that arrow?

- Yes.

- You do?

Are you standing at the tip of the arrow?

- No.

- Well, it's pretty important.

If I was Grace, I'd be at the tip of that arrow.

(audience laughing) Okay.

Are you there?

- Yeah. - Okay.

- Don't move a muscle.

I'm just gonna sneak into you now.

A quarter of an inch.

(audience laughing) Okay.

I got the tape.

Now listen, I'm gonna let this tape go.

Let this thing roll up over there, okay.

Careful!

Careful.

See, that's a good way to lose an eye.

(audience laughing)

Here's a better way.

(suspenseful music) (audience laughing)

Perfect condition.

Grace, I'm going to aim by listening

to the sound of your voice.

When you're ready for me to shoot,

I want you to call out nice and loud,

"I'm ready, Mike.

Shoot me!"

I'm picking up a little bit of an echo in here.

(audience laughing)

What happened?

Grace, all I could hear was your

heart pounding over there, okay?

You know, a little cooperation might keep both

of us from dying up here.

(audience laughing) Come over.

Can we just use our heads for 10 seconds?

- [Grace] Okay.

- Okay?

Okay.

You think the management at this teaming network,

you think they're gonna let me come up in front

of all these people

and fire this needle sharp arrow right at your heart

if they didn't think I could make this shot like 90%

of the time?

(audience laughing) Of course not.

That would be stupid.

I know shots a lot harder than this.

You wanna see a really tough shot?

- Sure.

- Folks, you wanna see a really tough shot?

(audience cheering)

I'll show you a tough shot right now.

Grace, you can help me out, too.

26th card down has got mom's name written right across the

face, pack of cards.

Go right down to the bottom of the quiver, just like that.

And Grace, remember, I never miss.

Yes, I have speared a single card,

and yet you folks act like you see this every night.

(audience cheering)

No, no, no.

Come, come, come, Grace.

Yes, I hit a card, but the question is, did I hit the card?

Only Grace knows for sure.

How'd we do, pal?

- You got it.

- I got it! It's a fairytale finish!

(audience applauding) Take that card, Grace.

Take a bow.

(audience cheering)

(bomb exploding)

- [Host] Coming up, a science lesson from Adam Wylie.

- I don't know if you know this,

but rubber bands are not a solid.

They are actually a liquid,

which means that they can go straight through one another.

- [Host] And later, Nathaniel Segal's

magical juggling act will put a smile on your face.

Plus, Farrell Dillion gives a masterclass in magic.

- Now an optical illusion, according to the internet,

is a visually perceived image

that differs from objective reality.

- [Host] "Masters of Illusion"

has so much left up our sleeves.

(bomb exploding) Stick around.

(audience cheering) (upbeat electronic music)

(fire roaring)

- Okay, get ready to witness a performance

that combines skill, elegance, and a touch of mystery.

Our next magician is renowned for his engaging

and innovative approach to magic,

making every single show a unique experience.

Please give it up for the phenomenal Adam Wylie.

(audience applauding) (bright music)

- Thank you so much.

I am here with Harry and Abrielle.

Have you guys ever seen rubber band magic before?

- No.

- It's an awesome thing.

Harry, what color do you like?

- I'll take green.

- Great.

Go ahead and hold out your hand.

I'm gonna go ahead and put the green rubber band right

there onto my hand.

Hold out your hand just like this.

Now I need you to make sure that

that rubber band is in fact completely real.

Is it real?

- Yes it is.

- Do you know how to make sure a rubber band is real, Harry?

- Stretch it?

- Yes, absolutely.

You stretch it in different ways, just like this, Abrielle,

like that until it breaks.

When it breaks, you have to put it back together.

That's how you know it's real.

So make sure it's real.

Please do not break it.

That was a trick.

(audience laughing)

Okay, great.

Fantastic.

What about you?

What color would you like?

- Yellow.

- Oh, yellow is great.

Yellow does even more interesting things.

Could you actually hold out your hand just like Harry did?

Fantastic.

Yeah, perfect.

Just like this so that it goes off your hand.

Why don't you put your other hand on there?

Because then it goes back onto your other hand,

which is pretty crazy.

Make sure that those are for realsies,

all for realsies rubber bands.

We've got a green one and we've got a yellow one.

These are very important.

Watch that little section

because I don't know if you know this,

but rubber bands are not a solid.

They are actually a liquid,

which means that they can go

(audience gasping) straight through one another,

just like that.

You see that?

They can go through not only on one side,

but actually on both sides as well,

(audience gasping) which is pretty cool.

I'm gonna take it off of one side because I'm a magish.

That's short for magician,

(audience laughing) not that I'm a short magician.

It's both true.

Could you please go ahead and grab the yellow rubber band

and take it off the green one?

Yes, that's perfect.

Thank you so much.

I appreciate you.

But of course, Harry, if you can take it off,

then of course you could put it back on.

Could you go ahead and put the green rubber band over

the yellow rubber band?

- Both strings?

- [Adam] It doesn't matter to me.

Whatever you'd like.

It's your choice.

And just let go.

- And that's right there. - Oh my God.

- It does in fact completely link onto there.

(audience applauding) It's crazy.

And all you have to do is take it straight off

and both of you can keep each color

rubber band that you'd like.

Thank you so much.

(audience cheering)

(audience cheering) (upbeat electronic music)

- Yes.

All right.

So you guys have seen a lot of magic, but right now,

I'd like to stop and speak for

just a moment about optical illusions.

Now an optical illusion, according to the internet,

is a visually perceived image

that differs from objective reality.

So right now, I would like to share with you one

of the world's most famous,

yet lesser known optical illusions:

the chair in the box.

(audience laughing)

(upbeat electronic music)

(audience applauding)

Thank you.

(audience laughing)

So you guys have seen a lot of magic...

I'm sorry, wait, did I do this trick already?

Twice?

Oh, okay.

Well, oh yeah.

So obviously you guys have seen this now a couple of times

and you probably realize

that this trick is not about the fact

that this chair flips over inside this box

and actually about the fact that this box is a TARDIS.

Now, a TARDIS is any object that is bigger on the

inside than it is on the outside.

It's a true impossibility.

(audience applauding)

(fire roaring)

- Thank you so much for joining us on this incredible

adventure into the world of magic.

We hope you leave tonight inspired

by the wonders you've seen.

I'm Dean Cain, and we'll see you next time on

"Masters of Illusion."

(audience cheering)

Well done.
