Illusion, the art of tricking the brain, distorting the senses, challenging

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

brain can be misled. Meet the masters of illusion.

Good evening, I'm your host, Dean Cain. Is the purpose of illusion to confuse

our senses?

This simple piece of wire has no moving parts. Yet when I twist it in my hand,

it appears to expand.

But the size never changes. When I twist it the opposite way, it appears to

shrink. But the wire always remains the same length.

It's the brain that lengthens or shortens this object, never the object

Murray Sawchuck specializes in making this simple...

Here he makes a small thought come to life in a big way.

I got a Porsche here. I got a speedboat. I got a white Jeep. And I have a green

tractor. All right. Do you drive yet?

No. How old are you?

17. What is it?

16? I'm too late. Grow up, man. All right. So if you're to drive a car and

want to get one, you're going to have your first car, right? 16. Which one do

you want?

Jeep. You want the Jeep?

Nice. Hang on to that, all right? Watch carefully. If this doesn't work, it's

your fault, all right? Sit down. Watch carefully. Let's go, guys. Here we go.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Is that the one?

High five. High five, man. High five. Yes.

Enjoy the G.

You sound good.

Oh, we got a good group. I wanted to do something special for the Masters of

Illusion here. And how many people remember when Oprah gave away the free

Raise your hands.

Yeah, yeah, you're not getting a car. But I want to do something similar. Now,

had no idea where anybody was going to sit. So right now, everyone take a look

under your chairs. Take a look under your seats because one of you lucky

individuals is going to find a big wad of gum that is for you to keep.

There are still people looking. That's awesome.

That was great. We got a good group. Okay, so here's what's going to happen.

little bit of magic. We're looking through the audience.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. And let's see here.

One, two.

Second row, there's a lovely lady wearing blue right there. Hi.

Hi, what is your name?

You don't have to come up on stage or anything. What's your name?

Marcy. Come up on stage. Give her a nice hand.

No, I'm kidding. Marcy. I'm kidding.

Marcy. Marcy. Sit. Sit.

I was just kidding, Marcy.

Very important, Marcy. Have we ever met before?

No, you're very happy about that.

All right.

Here's what's going to happen. I'm going to attempt to sneak into your mind.

Oh, yeah.

Are you ready?

Guess what? I'm already in there.

I am in your brain right now, Marcy. You may think that you are making your own

choices right now and your own decisions.

Uh -uh. It's me doing it for you.

Like you just went, mm -hmm, I made you do that.

Okay, I will give you more proof.

You know what? We'll use the stage lights. We'll use red and blue.

Concentrate on one of those two colors, okay?

Red or blue, blue or red. I'm going to point to you. You shout it out. Free

choice. Red or blue, blue or red. Free choice.

Or is it?

Are you ready?

Shout it out. Nice and loud.

Go ahead. Really loud.

Whenever you're ready. Go ahead.

Oh, you're sticking with it.

Are you?

Final answer?

Ladies and gentlemen, I knew she would choose blue.

Give it up for her. Let her hear it.

Absolutely.

All right.

How else?

I work with a little buddy. He's in the trunk. Let me see if he's awake. Are you

ready in there? Okay, get ready. Get ready. All right. He's a little shy, so

you would please give him a big round of applause. Let him feel at home as I

bring him out here.

Come on. There he is.

Yeah. Yeah, we got nice people.

How many of you have seen a ventriloquist before? Say yeah.

Yeah. Okay, we'll do something else then. All right, let's see.

How many would like to see more magic? More magic. Raise your hand.

Yay.

I don't do that. Yeah. All right. I am here to disappoint.

How many want to see juggling? Juggling, raise your hand.

How many think it's stupid to raise your hand?

How many people think?

How many people?

What category are you waiting for?

The last one was like a catch -all. It was all there. Hi there. Hi. What is

name? What's your name?

Ryan?

Ryan. Nice to have you here, Ryan. And what do you do for a living, Ryan? What

do you do? What do you do? What do you do, Ryan? What do you do? What do you

What do you do? What do you do, Ryan? What do you do? What do you do?

What do you do, Ryan?

Oh, my goodness.

We found your brother.

What do you... No, that was mean. That was mean. I'm so sorry. All right.

What do you do?

Oh, excellent.

And whereabouts do you live, Ryan? Where do you live?

Right up the street.

Oh, wow. This is a big night out for you. That's awesome.

Let's take a look here. So, Los Angeles? Los Angeles?

Yeah. Okay. There we are. Let's take a look.

Hey, kids. This is an antique GPS.

All right.

What's a street? What's a street name?

Oh, say it again.

Doheny. What are the numbers? What are the numbers?

One, two, three, five.

One, two, three, five, Doheny. Okay, cool. Hey, Vinny.

I got it. One, two, three, five, Doheny. Go ahead and step on it. Thanks. Bye.

We're going to have a garage sale.

People applauding a robbery.

Yay.

Misfortune. All right.

No more goofing off. Time for magic with ordinary objects.

Empty paper bag.

Empty bag, empty paper bag, empty bag, empty paper bag, empty bag, empty bag,

empty paper bag.

Second row. Empty bag, empty paper bag, empty bag.

Okay, just pass it back. Empty paper bag. Part two of this involves water.

Magic with water.

It's water, but I had to pay for it, so now it's water.

Please verify that's real water. Okay, good.

You can tell you're from Los Angeles.

Ooh, rain.

Never mind.

Storm watch.

All right, here we go.

Into the bag, into the bag.

Hey,

hop, magic. Oops.

Oh, I totally missed the diaper. I was so close.

I was so close.

Special gift time.

That's for you, buddy. There you go.

There you go.

You know what? You win a prize. Give him a nice hand. Let's hear it for him.

Absolutely.

We are so... Oh, I heard the phone. I heard the cell phone.

Yeah, you have to turn it off. Just during the show.

The opposite of on.

Okay, you know what?

Don't make me use this.

Oh, what the heck? Ah!

Got it.

They'll call you back.

I've been doing that joke a long time.

A long time.

Ever since I was a kid, I've been doing that joke.

All right. No more goofing. I got to do serious stuff for you now.

Oh, do we have the jacket? Yes, we do. We'll put the jacket on.

And there we go.

All righty. You, um...

You may have noticed that I sort of make fun of magic. We have the gloves here.

Yes, we do. But a little bit of history for you. When I first started performing

many, many days ago, I used to do the really cool, suave, sophisticated magic.

I did before I sold it all to some guy named Criss Angel.

So here we go with a really... I know. Where is he now? I don't know. I'm not

bitter. All right.

I am Criss Angel.

No, I'm getting in the magic zone.

I could be an audience member on Jerry Springer and another thing.

All right.

I think we're all set to go.

Music, maestro, if you would, please.

Yeah, yeah.

Hoop -ta -da.

Hoop -ta -da.

Oops.

Oh, man.

Ow, ow, ow.

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. I hate when that happens. So there we are. Thank you

guys very much. You've been great.

Thank you.

Bye -bye. Next, Michael Grandinetti breaks the laws of physics right before

eyes.

Michael Grandinetti lives for a challenge.

Tonight, it's a plate of solid steel.

Is it physically possible?

Hi, everyone.

Right now, I want to show all of you my latest challenge.

That's a plate of solid steel.

When it's standing, it's seven feet tall, four feet wide, and it's one inch

thick.

It also weighs 200 pounds.

It's a serious piece of metal.

Now, in a minute, my goal is going to be to get from this side of the platform,

through this frame, to this spot right here, which right now doesn't seem that

tough.

But if that steel plate were filling this frame, that would change

Guys, let's lift it in place.

On my go.

Ready?

The platform.

Pivot it up slowly.

And breathe.

Let's take it in.

And let's lock it in place.

Now to get from one side to the other, there's only one way to go.

And that's directly through the center of that steel wall.

This center section right here. I want you to watch this very closely.

We're going to mark it with this piece of paper.

But remember, you'll be able to see the steel around the paper throughout this

entire illusion.

This platform is also specially designed so you can see behind it, around it,

and even underneath it at all times.

Again, guys, watch this very closely.

To get through this wall, I actually have to melt my hands and my body into

metal, become one with the steel, and hopefully...

Pull myself through to the other side.

Now, we're going to show you a lot of magic in this show.

And I hope we're able to prove to you that there's no barriers to keep any of

from achieving the impossible.

As a matter of fact, that's exactly what I'm going to try right now.

Thank you so much. Thank you so much. I'm Michael Granatetti.

Well, there you go.

Passing through solid steel.

Do you know how he did it?

I sure don't.

Remember who we're dealing with. These are the best in the world.

These are the masters of illusion.

Until next time, I'm Dean Cain.
