Welcome to Masters of Illusion. Tonight we have an amazing show. The world's

greatest illusionist.

on stage to dazzle you with spectacular feats of magic performed in front of our

live audience.

There are no camera tricks.

You see what they do. Look at this picture. Is it a portrait of a

Or is it just another liar?

Reality and perception, not always the same.

And now it's time to meet our masters of illusion.

Meet the amazing Greg Pruitt.

Here's a comedy team from Scotland.

Let me warn you, they can be dangerous.

Please welcome Barry and Stuart.

You know, after we've done our magic, a lot of people say to us, how on earth am

I meant to get this blood out of my carpet?

We ruined that kid's birthday party. I know, poor kid.

Another thing people say to us is that our magic's a bit dark and, what was the

word that you?

Unfriendly. Unfriendly.

So, we've decided to come here on your American TV and change that reputation

once and for all. What we want to do, thanks very much for that smattering of

applause, we want to give one of you in the audience the chance to win a prize.

And that person is going to be, let's have a look, the girl with the...

bright hair there. You look perfect for this. Give her a nice hand as she makes

her way onto the stage.

Come this way.

What's your name?

Greta. Greta.

This is Greta, everyone.

Greta, we've got six cards here, each with a prize written on the back.

all different prizes.

We're going to generate which prize you get completely at random using a dice

and a cup.

Put the dice in there, put your hand over it, and you give it a shake any

that you like.

You can stop shaking.

Have a look at the number that's on top of the dice and shout it out loud so

that everyone, even the guys at the back, can hear what you got. So, one,

you would win prize number one. Okay, simple, basic rule. Make sense?

Put your hand over the cup and give it a shake.

Good shake.

Have a look.

Four. Let's see.

Four.

Four.

Greta, you've won a hug.

Come on, then. This way.

Give me a hug.

Not just one hug, but two hugs. Greta, my hug second. Thanks very much for

coming up here. A big hand for Greta. Make your way up to her feet.

Greta. I think we just salvaged our reputation with that one.

Coming up, Sauce and Victoria.

Murray Sawchuck.

Michael Turco and Rick Thomas.

The incredible wizardry of Sauce and Victoria.

Absolutely amazing as they prove that four hands are faster than two eyes.

Murray Sawchuck, Michael Turco, and Rick Thomas.

master of miscues, Murray Sawchuck.

So for this next trick, here's what I need. I need to borrow a man's watch.

kit right here. So we got your watch, and I'm going to have you help me with

this trick, okay?

So what's going to happen is I want you to hold the watch nice and tight like

that. Squeeze it really tight. Look at the audience.

Big smile.

Big applause for this guy. Thank you very much. He's very good. Thank you.

Do you like game shows?

reason for the prizes, all right, people?

What's your name again? Phil. Phil.

Good memory.

That is nice. All right.

So, Phil, here's what's going to happen, all right? When I tell you to, I'm

going to count one, two, three, pull the cloth.

When I pull the cloth, the watch is going to disappear.

Now, if the watch doesn't disappear, you get one of the prizes.

Not all three because there are like two more shows this year and that's pretty

exciting. So I'm going to count one, two, three. When I do that, I'm going to

pull it. When I pull it, your watch is going to disappear. But when I crank on

this, do let go because if not, it could be a tug of war and we look ridiculous.

Right? I'm just saying. Okay.

You guys ready for this?

Here we go.

One, two.

You still here that was your cue to fight got my car keys.

Don't ask just all right So here's the idea. We have a box. It's been hanging

the whole time. You've seen the box the whole time, correct? Yeah, there's a

lock on that box that key find the key you see the key in there the one key

fits the lock Here's what we're gonna do. All right Box been hanging there the

whole time before you're even up here on stage.

All right that key fits the lock We're gonna lower the box to the ground once

the box hits the ground. I'm gonna stay here I don't even be close to it. You're

gonna walk over there with the key Reach up in the lock. Put the key in. It'll

open. Flip the top right open. Reach inside. Pull out what's inside. This is

trick. You're going to know what I'm talking about. Cool?

Simple? All right, here we go.

Lefty, lower the box.

Forget the keys. We don't need them anymore.

he does.
