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.

Are you ready to be challenged?

Are you ready to be amazed?

All right.

What do you see here?

Okay, look.

Is this blue square inside or outside the box?

Okay, look away and then look back.

Did it just jump?

Yes? No?

Yes, it did.

Reality and perception, not always the same.

Right now, it is time to meet our masters of illusion.

Our illusionists tonight will also bend your brain.

Watch. Tommy Wynn, and be sure that you do not try this at home.

Nothing but empty drawers.

Yet, they are always full. Watch Aaron Raddatz.

fascinating. You may have a new bucket list after you see Ed Alonzo.

Woo!

Come here.

Come here, my pal Bob the Duck.

All right, Bob, wait right there.

A bucket.

A bucket.

I'm going to take a look inside.

Hmm.

Looks empty to me.

Here, I'll bring it out so that you guys can take a peek.

Check it out.

Empty, empty, empty.

Let's see. Maybe, could you help me for just a second? Come on up here nice and

close. Really check the bucket for everyone. Reach inside. Feel around.

Empty? Now give it a big hug and hold on tight.

And wait right there.

Don't sit down. I'll be back. All right, here we go.

All right, Bob.

Pay attention, Bob.

He's over there.

Into the magic.

Oh.

You've got to duck.

I almost forgot.

There's Bob.

Come on out of there.

Good job, man.

Check this out.

Thank you so much.

That's Danny Cole, Nathan Fann, and Arthur Trace.

Danny Cole puts a new spin on his CDs.

Keep him away from your record collection.

if you can handle me

There is no end to the energy of Nathan Fan and what he brings up next.

How are we doing today?

Yes! Yes!

Thank you.

My name is Nathan Fan. I'm the magic Asian man.

From the age of 1 to 11, I did live in Glasgow, Scotland.

So hence the unique blend that you see before you now.

So I know that the way I talk is a bit odd, so I'll... Maybe that was why.

All right, I apologise. OK, so now, what we're going to do tonight is I'm going

to... There,

now that I...

Did I get them all?

All right, well, at least I got that. All right, hold on one second.

Magic! Oh!

Magic! You're killing me!

Thank you, Arthur Trace, Greg Gleeson, and Les Arnold, and Dazzle.

Here's an illusionist who prefers to keep his music to himself.

Arthur Trace.

Hello.

Let's start right here. What's your name?

Fable. Nice to meet you, Fable.

Fable, would you join me on stage if the audience gives you a thunderous round

of applause?

I'll help you out there.

Nice to meet you.

Fable, I love performing magic music.

Although, I've been told this song is so bad that I should never subject you to

it.

So, in the interest of your well -being, I have a solution.

You see, I still get to listen to my favorite song, and you get to experience

real mystery.

Of course, I realize that as soon as I hit the play button, it's going to be

very difficult for me to hear you.

So, I'm going to ask you to nod your head yes or no in response to my

unless I instruct you otherwise. Got it?

Good. Here we go.

It's a card trick.

Sable, feel my pocket and make sure it's empty.

Nothing in there. Empty?

Empty.

It's empty.

Please, take a card.

Good. Here, Sable, sign the face of it.

In big, bold letters. That way you don't necessarily have to remember the card.

All you have to do is remember your name.

Sable.

I'll take back the marker.

Go ahead and show them.

Sable, as I dribble the cards like so, motion with your hand when you would

me to stop.

Place your card back on the back.

Thank you.

wondering what I'm listening to. However, the bigger mystery is how

jumps from the pack to inside my jacket pocket.

Yeah.

Of course, I don't expect you to take my word for it, Sable.

But this is your signature, isn't it?

You're not impressed.

She's not impressed.

Yep. The table, I'll do it again.

Make sure the cards never go near my jacket pocket.

Got it? Got it. Here we go.

Did you see it go?

Oh.

It did.

Remember, you have nothing to distract you.

Not even music.

Yet, time and time again, Sable, your card jumps from the pack to inside my

pocket. Oh, it's already there.

Here, I'll let you do the honors. Go ahead. Reach inside and remove it.

Greg Gleason and Les Arnold and Dad.

Now let's take a time machine trip to the future with Greg Gleason.

Our next performers present magic with a twist.

Les Arnold and Dazzle.

I hope you have been amazed as I have. Be sure to join us next time for more

Masters of Illusion.

Until then, I'm Dean Cain.

Good night.
