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.

In the world of illusion, can I influence what your mind perceives?

Is your first impression the true or only impression?

Look at this sculpture of a gorilla's face. If I told you you were looking at

the inside of this impression and not the outside, would you be amazed?

It's true. The brain creates this sculpture, but illusion...

is not always fact.

I'm Dean Cain, and our first performers have a reputation for doing things big.

In this illusion, Jarrett and Raja show us how to get the party started.

Renowned master illusionist Murray Sawchuck takes us back to school for a

refresher course on basic math.

Tom Bergoon has a gift for Gab, but don't let him fool you.

Hey, it's mind -reading time, my friends. It is mind -reading time.

In this envelope right here, I have a picture, a picture of a famous movie

a picture of a very famous movie star. In just a moment, I'm going to look at

you, my dear, right there. Don't move. Stay right there. I'm going to count to

three, snap my fingers, and point at you. You will name any famous movie star

this world, living or dead.

And if I were to reach in the envelope and pull out the very same picture of

that famous movie star, that would be an amazing effect because I would have

predicted what you were going to say before you ever said it. Agreed?

Look me in the eyes on the count of three and name the famous movie star.

One, two, and three.

Leonardo DiCaprio.

Unfortunately, I had... Ha!

Ladies and gentlemen, Leonardo DiCaprio.

Six months, two weeks old. Leonardo DiCaprio. He was cute.

Last night's show, the gal yelled out, Barack Obama!

I was ready. I know what I'm doing, right? Yeah.

It's that easy.

It's that easy for God's sakes.

What is your name, my dear, right there? What's your name?

Joanna. Would you help me do a trick?

Clap for Joanna. Here she comes on the stage. Come on, Joanna, right here.

Thank you, dear.

Right this way, my dear. Stand right there. If you would please face the

audience. Good to have you. As a matter of fact, step over here just in front of

me just for a second. Joanna, are you into hypnosis? Great. Here we go.

Just relax, relax, relax. On the count of three, I snap my fingers. You go into

a deep trance. One, two, three.

Relax, relax, relax. Listen to my voice, listen to my voice, listen to my voice.

Keep your eyes open, listen to my voice. Tip your head this way.

There we go.

Suckers. All right, here we go.

This is my fly circus. These are my flies. That is Larry.

That's Mary. That's Jerry. And that's Terry the fly. One fly goes down. What's

going to happen is that fly is going to disappear from the card and jump up with

the other three flies by magic. On the count of three, I want you... Oh, hang

on. You got to have your magic wand. There you go.

On the count of three, you smack the fly. Fly disappears, jumps over here.

we go. Ready? One.

One, two, three.

Hit him.

And the fly magically jumps across. Try it again. On the count of three. One,

two, three.

And the magic, do it harder. Ready? One, two, three.

Yeah, girl!

See what you can do when you try. She's good, isn't she? I'm telling you what,

she knows what she's doing.

Let me wipe that off a little bit. My dear, I've got a special friend with me

tonight. He travels with me wherever I go. I appreciate you being here tonight

so you can meet him. Ladies and gentlemen, one of my best friends in the

world, the one and only, Timmy Toilet Paper.

Timmy, we're going to take you, we're going to tear you into a thousand

and we're going to flush you down the toilet. What do you think of that?

He's scared, ooh.

Now, I know y 'all think that's stupid, I know.

But I know when y 'all get home, you're going to make one of these, I know that.

My dear, you take Timmy.

Always keep Timmy's little face pointing straight out so they can always see his

face. Off of Timmy, I want you to tear off two strips, each containing eight

squares. Two strips, each containing eight squares.

Just count them out, they're perforated.

All right, we've got one strip with one square. Let's try that again. There we

go. Count out eight.

That's good. That's good. Roll it out. That's good. Perfect. Count out eight

when you get there. That's great.

Nice and neat, too. Appreciate that. There we go. Get this out of here. There

go. That's good. All right. That's good. Perfect.

Tear it off.

And thank you very much. Make another one just like that. Make another one

like that.

Yeah, you've done this before. You know what you're doing.

That's good. She gets it right there. That's good. I'll take Timmy, Timmy,

Timmy. Timmy goes back in the box over here. Oh, Timmy, Timmy. Sleep, sleep,

sleep, sleep.

You guys are so easy.

Take the paper, tear some off the top, do that all the way down to the bottom

just like that, tear it all up. Take the paper, wall it up into a super tight

little ball.

If it's not super tight, the whole thing is not going to work. You follow me?

Now, I know we have no idea where these paper balls have been. We're going to

take them anyway. We're going to place them into our mouth.

Now, what we're going to do, we're going to go out of breath to the out of

breath. Take them back out, open them up. They'll be all back together again,

okay? You say, out of breath. Put the ball in my mouth. Here we go. You say,

of breath to the out of breath.

Don't move. Stay right there. Don't move. Ready?

One, two. Take it back out. Open it up. It should be all back together again.

Look.

No.

Put it back in.

Just throw it down there. Throw it down there.

When you took it out, it just turned to fissures. Watch. Let's see it.

You see?

Hopefully that keeps it warm.

Hopefully that keeps it warm.

Hopefully that keeps it warm.

Here we go.

Hey!

There you go.

It goes like this. It goes like this.

Got to hold that.

It goes that way. It goes all the way down there.

Thomas and his lovely ladies. And later, Michael Turco faces his demons.

This is Las Vegas star Rick Thomas.

Let's just say his next illusion is out of the box.

has performed since he was 12 years old and he holds the world magic award title

of stage magician of the year here he shows us why practice makes perfect

The dynamic duo of David and Donya. And later, Michael Turco battles the monster

inside.

Split -second timing is the

key in this performance from David and Donya.

Prepare to enter the magical mind of Matt Marcy.

Okay, we're going to begin tonight with a trick called the perfect match.

You, sir, stand up.

You, sir, stand up.

250 pairs of socks.

No two pair are the same. In a minute, you're going to reach into the bag and

grab one sock, just one sock. Put it behind your back. Don't look at it.

reach in, grab a sock, and put it behind your back. I'll turn my head so I can't

see. Got one?

Yes? Good. Same exact thing. If there's one sock, put it behind your back. Don't

look at it. I will turn away. Got it?

Yes? Okay.

There is a 1 in 500 chance that those two socks are the same.

When I say go, you're going to unfold your sock, hold it over your head so we

can all see it.

You're about to see why I call this the perfect match.

Go!

Sit.

Sit down.

These two socks do not match.

Each other.

They're not supposed to. They're supposed to match these!

You thought I'd know stuff!

Next,

Michael Turco meets his match and must escape from the clutches of evil.

Turco never ceases to amaze.

Get ready.

You're in for a surprise.

Peace.

Well, there you have it.

Shackled and suspended and nowhere to go. And then, in an instant, Michael

replaced his captor. Could you figure out how he did it?

I can'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.
