Distorting the senses.

Challenging perception.

You can't trust what you see, even with your own eyes.

Meet the Masters of Illusion.

Hello!

Hello, everybody!

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

Prepare to be amazed, because tonight we are going to... Some of the best

magicians in the world.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Here we go.

Are these spirals connected?

Well, the eye tells the brain they are.

Actually, they are four separate circles.

One, two, three, and four.

But our senses make them continuous.

to see the impossible.

Our first illusionist tonight combines lasers and magic and ends up with the

impossible. Please welcome RJ Cantu.

In the audience right now is Chicago's unique performer who always has a new

twist. Tonight, he invites us to play 20 questions.

Here is Bill Cook.

All right.

Thank you so much. This is Priscilla. Everyone say hi, Priscilla.

Hi, Priscilla.

Priscilla, have you ever played the game 20 questions?

Yes. That's question number one. Okay. You said yes? I actually have a list of

the 50 most influential celebrities of the last 10 years.

Okay? So, most of these names I think you're familiar with. Taylor Swift being

one of them. Ellen DeGeneres.

Kim Kardashian.

Mr. Michael Jackson.

Howard Stern. I assume you know most of these names.

Here's what I need you to do. I need you to roll your finger up the pad and stop

on any name. Go ahead.

I'm not going to look.

Stop whenever.

Is this a name you're familiar with?

I'm not looking at the camera. I'm not looking. I'm not looking. I'm not

looking. You know this name?

Fantastic. I'm going to ask you a series of questions. All you have to do is

answer yes or no.

First question, is this person that you are thinking of an athlete?

No. No.

I'm ignoring the most basic of yes or no questions. Is this person still alive?

No. No. Okay.

Is this person female?

No. No.

Is this person known for music?

Yes. Yes. So not a live musician, male. Is this person considered controversial?

Yes. The person that you're thinking of, is this person considered bad?

Yes.

Who was the person you were thinking of? Say it out loud, nice and loud. Michael

Jackson. Michael Jackson?

Hmm.

Michael Jackson.

You saw it. This is for you.

Thank you so much for coming. You've been fantastic. Thank you so much. Thank

you.

Well, time now for one of our favorite illusionists. This is the Las Vegas

of Tommy Winton.

I have to tell you, I love water sports. I love water sports so much that I

wanted to blend magic with it. Let me show you what I mean.

Raise the sheet.

the magic and laughs of Jarrett and Rozzy. And the impossible is easy for

masterful manipulations of Jibrizy.

The

world of

fantasy always provides an interesting journey for the talents of Jarrett and

Rozzy.

Back now to our audience camera and a challenge of cards and Cupid by a

who knows how to have fun.

Here's Jibrizy.

What's up, guys? It's Jibrizy. And right now we're going to go ahead and do some

magic with the beautiful lady right here next to me. So I have some cards in my

pocket. Go ahead and take these bad boys out.

And all you do is I want you to call stop at any card, okay?

Stop. Right there.

So here.

I have a Sharpie in my pocket.

Take the Sharpie.

I want you to go ahead and sign the card if you stop that.

Okay.

Put your signature nice and big across the card.

Beautiful.

What's your name?

Kalima. Kalima.

So, Kalima's signature on the Jack of Diamonds. I want everyone to see this.

All right.

I'm going to do something cute.

I'm going to put a heart in the back of the card. Okay. So, here.

Put a little heart on the back of this card right here.

All right. Now, Kalima, do me a favor.

Hold your hand out.

Do not move. A lot of people screw up this trick because they move. Okay. All

right.

It's dangerous.

Now, you've heard of a drive -by before, right? You know what a drive -by is.

Yeah. Okay.

So, what we're going to go ahead and do is we're going to do a magic buy.

So, I'm going to go ahead and draw a bow and arrow on this card. Okay.

All right.

All right.

So, Kalima, do not move at all. Okay. All right.

So I drew a bow and arrow on the card.

Lower it down.

All right. Now, if you touch the bow and arrow, go ahead, touch it with your

finger. Yeah, touch it with your finger.

Yeah. It doesn't rub off, right?

No, it doesn't rub off.

Check this out.

Watch it, Kalima.

Like that.

What?

And the arrow goes off the card.

And this is the part about the magic bar, right? You just got hit.

Check your hand.

Show it to the camera.

Next, Scott Pepper will make you doubt your senses when we come back.

Have you ever used one of those home drink machines?

Well, our next performer comes to us from England.

and would absolutely astonish any bartender.

Watch Scott Pepper.

Wow, thank you.

I love to go around with magic. I also love playing around with technology.

And I've come up with something that combines both of them together. I hope

you're going to like this.

It involves a smartphone and an orange juice carton.

Now, firstly, it does get pretty warm up here under these lights, so it's always

nice for me to have a nice glass of orange juice.

Waiting for me.

After the show. Can we keep that for me?

Thanks very much.

I'll let you show what I've done here. I've taken my phone. I've placed this

cool little holder on it. That way you can strap it to the orange juice carton.

Now I've created this app. And with this app you can download your favorite

drinks logo.

So in this case, I've downloaded a milk logo.

Now the app, it messes with the particles in the orange juice carton,

whatever drink you choose, you can actually then pour the drink you like,

this case, the nice parfait milk.

Now I know some of you are probably thinking, if you had this technology,

would not be pouring milk out of this orange juice carton.

You'd want something a little bit stronger.

So especially for you, here's some strawberry milk. There we go.

A nice strawberry milk for you guys.

Okay, okay.

Let's try this. Everyone think of your favorite drink and shout it out on

nice and loud.

One, two, three.

Okay, I definitely heard cola in there somewhere.

There it is, a nice glass of cola.

All right, let's see if we've got one here. I have got a beer logo, so let's

see. All right, good. Let's see if this works.

A beer logo hopefully will get us a nice, cool glass of beer. There it is.

Now, there is one other feature on this app. It's called the Thought Transmitter

feature. All you have to do is think of your favorite drink, okay?

Think of your favorite drink.

Concentrate.

Concentrate.

No, it says here, concentrate.

Let's check this out. See what we got.

Okay.

Sparkling.

Oh, it's lemon and lime. There we go. Lemon and lime beverage right there.

Now, I want you guys to check these out. Can we have you five come up and join

us very quickly?

We've got five drinks here, and I'm sure you're dying to try these.

Hi, welcome.

Welcome. Come and stand yourself right here.

We've got five drinks here. Milk, strawberry milk, cola beer, and lemon

lime. And we're going to do a little taste testing session right here.

So everyone go ahead and try your drink for me. Check them out.

Now we're going to do this one at a time. Lady down there, is that real

That is it, real milk. You can sit yourself down. Is that real strawberry

Off you go. Is that real cola?

Off you go.

Is that real lemon and lime there?

It sure is. Have yourself a seat.

Now here's the big one. Is that real beer, sir?

Yes, it is. That is six real drinks from one orange juice tartan.

Now, I know there is some skeptics around there looking at the orange juice

carton thinking there's something going on, so you can check that out.

That's close enough.

Actually, I'm going to let you check it out, but first thing I'm going to do is

rip it open so you can see there is nothing left inside. It is a regular

juice carton. You can keep that as a little souvenir as well as you go back

your seat.

Everyone else, enjoy your drink.

Next, the amazing card wizardry of Jack McBride.

Our next performer challenges our senses and defies explanation.

Watch Chris Randall.

Thank you.

There is no faster card handler. You are about to see living proof that the eye

Cannot keep up with the hand time for Jeff McBride

Well, that's it for Masters of Illusion. They make the impossible happen right

before your eyes.

Seeing is believing.

Or is it?

Well, thank you for joining us. Until next time, I'm Dean Cain. Thank you.
