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.

Welcome to the Masters of Illusion. Is
the hand quicker than the eye?

Do you really see what you think you
see, or is it all just an illusion?

In this painting...

Which way is the horse looking?

Is he looking right at you?

Or is he looking away from you?

Or possibly looking for something about
to happen? I find it totally frustrating

and impossible.

Well, equally impossible is this
illusion performed by Greg Fruin.

everyone likes a really big card trick.
Well, here is one with really big cards.

And the very sly, Michael Turco.

Hey guys, thank you very much.

We're going to have some fun up here. I
need a little help from the audience.

What's your name?

Yeah.

Kaylee? Kaylee, come on up here for me.
Guys, give Kaylee a big round of

applause.

How are you, Kaylee?

Good. Come on over here.

What I'd like you to do is I'd like you
to take a look at all the cards. Step

them out so they're all different.

Audience, take a look.

And Kaylee, if you don't mind, just
point to one.

Point to anyone you'd like.

That one right there.

Do you want to keep that one or change
your mind?

I want to keep it. All right. Take a
look at that card.

Kaylee, don't let me see that card.

And when you're done memorizing the
card, turn that card around and show the

audience. From the right side to the
left side. Of course, everyone at home,

hold it straight out there, Kaylee.

And when you're all done, Kaylee, turn
that card around, look at it one more

time so you don't forget it, and then
place it back on top.

Cool. You have it memorized? Yep.
Positive? Yep. All right, cool.

I'm going to get rid of these cards.

Hey, Kaylee, I'm not really the best
artist, okay? But I'm going to try to

sketch your card out today. All right.
Sound cool? Yeah. All right. What I need

you to do is I need you to think of the
number, the letter, the suit, whatever

it may be. Just keep repeating that card
in your mind. Okay.

Cool? Yeah.

All right. I got it.

Here we go.

Haley, keep picking up your card, repeat
it in your mind, and I draw it onto

this piece of paper.

Cool.

Haley, I got it.

Your card, the one you selected out of
the deck.

No.

For real?

For real.

Did you pick the wrong one?

No?

Okay, well, it happens. There are 52
cards in the deck. I sometimes make a

mistake, but...

I have an idea. Haley, you'll like this.
Look, this is actually the front of a

deck of cards and your card's somewhere
inside.

That's good. About five people like it.
That's about it.

Haley, let's do a little magic up here
to make everybody happy.

Hold on to that marker for me. Keep
thinking of the card. Say it over and

in your mind. And if you guys saw the
card out there and at home, think of it

over and over in your mind. Repeat it.
And Haley, watch carefully.

Kaylee, keep watching.

Kaylee, we're getting closer and closer
to your card, the one you selected out

of the deck.

Kaylee, was that your card, the five of
diamonds?

I'll grab the marker.

You touch the paper. Make sure it's
really there.

It really is.

Kaylee, that's for you. Guys, give
Kaylee a big round of applause.

Take a bow.

Get ready for the ride of your life.

Here's Tommy Wynn.

Coming up, Jarrett and Raja, Barry and
Stuart, Christopher Hart, Les Arnold and

Death.

Having fun with the dangerous side of
life, here are Jarrett and Raja.

For over a hundred years, even before
the good old days of Jack the Ripper,

magicians have been doing unspeakable

things to beautiful young ladies, sawing
them in half, piercing them with

swords, blowing them up.

So tonight, in keeping with tradition, I
am going to pick...

You!

Barry and Stuart.

Christopher Hart.

Let Arnold and Dazzle.

Now, our favorite Scotsman. Two guys
infatuated with pirates.

Keep your eye on the guy with the patch
over his eye.

Actually, they both have patches over
their eye.

Here are Barry and Stuart.

We brought all the way from Scotland's
my favorite trick. It's a trick we call

the pirate card trick I'm sorry.

We actually can't do the pirate card
trick tonight because I've forgotten my

eyepatch Yeah, Barry Barry. I knew you'd
forget that. So there's your eye patch.

Yeah, like I said, it's my favorite
trick It's a trick we call the pirate

trick cards Sorry, we have in order to
do the pirate card trick. You need the

pirate cards I knew you'd forget that so
there's cards. I've packed them. I love

this trick. It's my favourite. It's the
trick we call the pirate card trick. I

can't do this because I've got a sore
leg.

Perfect for a pirate.

Come on, have someone pick one. Go on
with it.

I hate doing this, you know. I know.

Right.

The first thing we need is a ship mate.

I don't know who I'm pointing at because
I can only see out of one eye.

You there, Miarti.

The guy with the blue shirt, yeah, the
guy going, me, yeah, you, me RT.

I'm going to shuffle the cards.

Anytime you like, you can stop me by
shouting out R.

And the card you stop me at, that'll be
the card we'll use tonight. Make sense?

Yeah. Okay.

Say R when you like.

R. Everyone, have a look at the card
that you stopped me at. It's very, very

important that you remember what this
card is, but it's really, really

that we do not see what the card is.

Got it.

Okay.

It's...

It's the four of spades and it is the
28th card from the top of the deck.

What's going to happen now is absolutely
amazing. It's a pirate miracle.

Stuart, with his one good eye, is going
to get a pirate sword.

Barry, you've forgotten the best bit.
The pirate shuffle.

We have to shuffle the cards.

No, that's lame. We have to shuffle them
properly. You know the pirate shuffle

is the best bit.

I love it. I love the music.

Can we have the hornpipe, please?

Ah, look at Barry.

I think he's really enjoying himself.

This is the lowest point of my career.

Whee!

This is the first time Barry's really
been into this.

I'm dying inside.

Oh great.

Here comes the best bit.

Oh no.

Here comes the worst bit.

Come on, it's the best bit.

Well, the cards have now been pirate
shuffled.

Stuart, can we go out on with this? Go
and get the sword.

Aye, aye, buddy!

What's going to happen now? I have half
the cards in one hand, half the cards in

the other hand. You could say right now,
it's all hands on deck.

Why do I have to do that joke? I have
the pirate sword.

What's going to happen now? It's a
pirate miracle. I'm going to throw the

in the air. Stuart, with his one good
eye, will see your chosen card, and he

will attempt to stab it on the very tip
of his pirate sword.

You feeling it? Yeah. Ready? Here we go.
Drum roll, please.

I have a card!

But wait, it could be any card. What was
the card you saw?

The four of spades.

It's only the more of four of spades!

Next, Christopher Hart.

And let Arnold and Dazzle.

The next time you visit your eye doctor,
try to impress him with this lesson.

From Fast Talker, Christopher Hart.

Hi, I'm Christopher Hart, and I thought
it would be fun to teach you a trick. Do

you want to learn a trick? Say yes.

Great. First I will do the trick, then I
will show you how it works. It even

comes with a story. You say, I went to
the eye doctor the other day, and he

me a test.

He said, Christopher, how many spots do
you see? I said, one.

Four, three, and six. He said, cover the
right eye, tell me how many spots. I

said, one, four, three, and six. I'm
happy to say I passed the test, but I

rather confused.

How can a card have a one on this side,
a four on this side, a three on this

side, and a six on this side? It's
impossible.

Well, it turns out he was an amateur
magician as well as an eye doctor, and

was just an optical illusion.

I'm going to teach it to you. You want
to learn? Yes?

All right, perfect. Don't tell anybody
the secret.

Here's what you do. A white piece of
cardboard in a rectangle shape.

and a black marker. You take a marker
and you draw a spot in the center, but

here's the secret. You actually draw
two.

Kind of clever. Look at how this works.
You cover this one. It looks like

there's a one.

You cover over here. The eye fills it
in, in the mind, and thinks there's

actually three. That's all there is to
it. Over here, you cover it, and it

like there's four, but there's really
actually five.

So cover the spot or the space as you
turn the card.

Now, when you do this, make sure you
keep your fingers together. Don't

your hands.

Otherwise, they'll see how the secret
works. It's very important.

Yep. Same goes on this side here. Never,
ever move your fingers because that

will expose the secret.

Now, all you have to do is practice
this, though, four or five minutes every

for about a month, and you'll have it
down. But don't practice too much.

Otherwise, you'll see spots before your
eyes.

That's it.

Les Arnold is a true master magician,
poised and sophisticated.

But in competition, he is no match for
Dazzle.

Here is Les Arnold and Dad.

of illusion and distorting reality.

You know how they did it? Because I sure
don't. And that's because they are the

masters of illusion.

Be sure to catch us next time. I'm Dean
Cain. Good night.
