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 and welcome to Masters of Illusion. I'm your host, Dean Cain.

Our brains enjoy filling in missing information. They don't like an

picture. What do you see here?

Two blocks of wood. But are you really seeing what you perceive?

They are actually inside out, and our brain creates them in a perfect world

of reality.

Jonathan Pendragon asks the question, is light as a feather reality, or is it

just perception?

Italy's Eric's Logan has an appetite for aluminum foil.

Next, Aunt Alonzo needs a volunteer for some dangerous magic.

Aunt Alonzo has the amazing powers of

suggestion and positive thinking.

Do they work for you?

And now, it is time for some mass hypnosis.

And I'm not talking about church.

Looking for somebody who is easily hypnotized.

Have you ever been hypnotized before? Could you help? Give her a round of

applause.

Now be careful.

There we go. And tell everyone, what is your name? Gemma.

Gemma, ladies and gentlemen. Gemma.

All right, now.

Gemma, you're going to have to listen very closely. But over here, I have two

chairs and a board.

And if you could just slowly come on over here.

There you go. And then just slowly step up.

Slowly step up.

And then this is the difficult part. Just sit down right here.

Just slowly, slowly and carefully. Take your time.

No need to be.

Right there you go. Oh, that's perfect.

Now, this is the strange part. You're going to kick your legs over to this

but your head will be on this side facing up.

Do you trust me?

Okay, go ahead. Yeah, bring your legs over to this side.

Very carefully. Good.

Excellent. And then you'll just lay back. Yeah.

Scooch this way just a bit. Oh, that looks great. Right there. Perfect.

All right, now I'm going to cover you up so you don't get away.

Now, listen only to the sound of my voice. Breathe in and breathe out.

In and out.

And in a moment, you will feel as light as air.

Whoops, okay.

Okay,

stop the music.

Stop the... Oops.

Are the chairs okay?

Okay, we're okay. The chairs are okay. Thank you.

Thank you.

Well, that... That was fun.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to find another volunteer from the

audience. Maybe a kid from the audience.

Yeah, let's see where there's a good volunteer. Oh, look, the kids are so

excited to help out now.

This kid looks just like me when I was a kid, so I don't want that. Sit down.

No, I'm teasing. Come on, of course. Give them a round of applause.

Be careful on the stairs.

Be careful.

There we go.

Hello,

everybody. What's your name?

Matthew. Matthew, take a bow for the crowd, Matthew.

Very good.

Now, Matthew, over here, I have a giant coloring book. Do you remember these

when you were just a little kid?

There's all kinds of pictures inside there.

There's the soldier and there's birds and all kinds of... Now, what I'm going

do is I'm going to flip through the book and then when you see a picture that

you like, you just yell out stop in a really loud voice, okay?

All right, whenever you're ready. So just look at the picture.

Stop. Okay, stop. Good. Now look at your picture there.

There's his picture. Now, he could have picked any picture from the book, but

I'm going to try and figure out the picture that he chose by drawing my

prediction on this big pad of paper here. So now think about the picture

you just looked at. Are you thinking about it?

Okay, good, good. I'm getting an image here.

All right.

There it is.

That is the one, the ABC block. Is that it?

No. Okay, you seem excited about that.

Which one did you pick tonight?

The clown. The clown, okay.

Let me just change the box a little bit.

And there's a lid, and that'll be the crank. And now I have drawn here a jack

-in -the -box, which means that there's a clown inside. Thank you.

Thank you.

So, no, there really is a clown in there. I can prove it. I just need a

Jack in the Box music, please.

Come on, little fella.

Come on.

And that's for you. It's all drawn on

there. How about a big hand for my wonderfulist? He was fantastic.

Get off the stage already.

You're done.

Just let him play that next music track. Any time tonight would be good.

There it is.

How's that?

I can also do the merengue.

Oh, what the?

Oh, it's Gemma, everybody. She's okay.

He's okay.

Ah, so lovely.

Woo.

You're gonna love this.

Next, Joel Ward is out of this world.

Now Joel Ward challenges the gravity of the situation by taking us on a walk in

space.

a souvenir for Sarah. Check it out. Let's give her a big round of applause.

Thank you so much, Sarah.

Zalandra invites you to buckle your seatbelt and take a ride on a piano

concerto.

Next, Keelan and Shireen change it up again and again and again.

Keelan and Shireen are ready to dance, but they're not sure what to wear.

Thank you.

Thank you.

There you go. Two masters of quick change.

Do you know how they 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.
