The art of tricking the brain, distorting the senses, challenging

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

Meet the masters of illusion.

Hello, everybody.

I'm Dean Cain.

Welcome to Masters of Illusion. Right now we have something completely amazing

and astounding. Are you ready to witness the incredible?

It's very easy to deceive the brain.

Look at this picture of a popular kind of candy.

Can you see a message pointing you in the direction the artist wants you to

Once revealed, it seems very obvious.

The mission of tonight's illusionist is to deceive you with first impressions

and trick you to believe the impossible.

And they're going to do it. Watch England's Scott Pepp.

Thank you.

Thank

you.

Let's look at the impossible. It's the always wild Ed Alonzo.

Good evening.

I'm Ed Alonzo.

And tonight, I need to find a volunteer.

Someone here in the audience.

How about you?

Could you?

How about a round of applause right here in front?

What is your name?

Marie. Marie, you're so beautiful.

Do you follow directions well?

Yeah. Here's what you have to do. You just do as I do.

Are you pressing?

Yes. Press the top.

Go!

Technology is blended into this next feat.

This is Jason Bishop.

We've seen a ton of great magicians today, and I think you guys noticed

throughout the show they can use any kind of different prop, and that's what

have here. This is just my classic sort of music personal device here. Turn it

on like that, open it up like that. There's the main interface. I don't have

lot of apps because I'm busy living.

If I turn it to the side, you can see it's less than a half inch thick. If I

turn it to the back, you can see there's nowhere to conceal anything on the back

of there. It's sort of a silver surface.

But there's something inside of this device that should not be able to fit.

give a little shake, you can see, little by little, it's a little pet of mine.

If I grab some food, I can drop the food inside, just like that. He eats it up.

If I turn him on his side, he swims.

out of the plastic music personal device, into my hand, where it becomes

completely, 100 % invisible.

And then real, just like that.

Is

there

another word for unbelievable?

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

of Tommy Wind.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Tommy Wind, and I'm going to show you

something new. I'm going to show you something special, and I'm only

it here for you on Masters of Illusion. Here we go.

and the unbelievable talent of Jarrett and Raja.

Next.

It's time to play a game with our next two illusionists. Here are Jarrett and

Raja.

Hello, everybody.

Hi, everyone.

I'm going to find someone in the audience to help us. Let's see. Hi, can

help me?

Great. Come on up. Awesome.

Give her a big hand, everyone.

What's your name, by the way? Emily.

Emily. Nice to meet you. We have two decks of large cards, a red deck and a

deck. The red deck is going to be yours, Emily, and the blue is going to be

yours, Roger, okay? Fantastic. Great. Each of these decks of cards are made up

of different musical instruments, and each of the instruments in each of the

decks match each other, okay? I'm going to have each of you select a card.

And hopefully the cards will match.

Wow. You can do that? I'm going to try to do that.

Let's see. You know what? I am so sure of the musical instrument that you guys

are going to choose that I actually made a prediction.

And I covered it behind me underneath that red cloth.

It's under there so nobody can see what it is. So here we go. We're going to

begin this way.

We're going to start with Raja. Okay. Okay?

These cards are all different musical instruments. That's a drum kit. You can

see that.

And we have a trumpet.

There's a piano.

My thing. All different musical instruments.

Guitar and a tambourine. Emily, take your hand and put it over your eyes so

can't see. No peeking.

Raja, point to one of the cards, any one you want. Okay.

That one there? Right there.

Take that out. Let everyone see.

That's the card that Raja has chosen.

Great. Raja, put your hand out in front of you.

That's good. And I'm going to take your card and just put it on your... You can

take a peek.

Put your hand on top of it. That's great. We good?

We're going to put this here.

Emily, take your hands away. Do you see stars?

Here we go, Emily.

Same thing.

I'm going to show everyone your cards here.

You can see that they're all different musical instruments.

Okay?

All of them are different.

Don't worry, Emily. They're laughing because they don't think I can do this.

Here we go.

Go ahead and just point to one of the cards, any one you want, Emily. That one

there? Great. Same thing. I want you to put your hand out in front of you.

That's it. And you can take a peek at the card and put your hand right on top

it. Okay? You saw it? Yeah. Okay, great, Emily. You're doing great.

Here we go!

Now for the magic.

Now for the magic.

Emily, in a very loud voice, I want you to yell out the name of the musical

instrument that you chose.

Guitar.

Guitar?

I'm sorry.

Wait, wait, wait. It's guitar?

Guitar.

Wait, yeah, it's okay. You did everything correct. This is

This is embarrassing.

No, no, no.

Listen. Yes.

I'm the magician here, so I'm going to make this right.

Here we go. You better.

We're on TV, mister. I know. Here we go. Emily, I want you to think of that car.

Look at it. Picture it in your mind. You got it? Okay, now send those thoughts.

Go ahead. Send those thoughts to me. Go ahead. Send them. You sending them? Yes.

Not those thoughts. Some other thoughts. Here we go.

The car?

Yes. It's done. Really?

Turn your car around. I don't think so, Jared. No, no. This is so embarrassing.

Turn it around.

I'm going to show you my prediction over here. We're going to come over here.

Here we go. I just stand right here.

Here we go. Emily, my prediction is ho!

Woo! A guitar!

Woo! Emily, come on.

Emily, come on.

Yes!

Emily! That's good!

To our audience camera now.

Let's drop in on Murray Sawchuck.

How you doing?

You look great.

I love the velvet. I want to class you up just a little bit. So I got a cane

you there. You can hang on to that.

And I got this here. This is very nice. I like the scarf.

But, you know, I want to have, look, this is like me in five years. Look at

this. I like sophisticated.

Look at that debonair. You look very nice. If you do this, why?

Just like that. That's for you there.

Fabulous. Just like so.

Take this. You give it a little twirl like that.

You go like this and you watch really carefully. One, two, three. There's

And that goes in your pocket right here just like that. And you're dressed up.

Look at you. You look like me.

Next, Adam Wiley asks you to pick a card when we return.

Our next magician is a master of sleight of hand.

Keep your eyes on the quick hands of Adam Wiley.

Guys?

Oh, what a wonderful audience.

I'm going to need some props for this next effect, and I actually left them

right out here before you guys came in. I don't know if you guys can see it.

Right here.

There's a couple of them. Here's one.

See it?

Very big. You know what? I'll save that for later. Here's another one.

Nope. Oh, that one. That's actually the one I need. Can you see that?

You guys see that? Look, maybe if I polish it up, you'll see it. Look, it's

deck of cards, actually.

I know, right?

Just like that.

Now, this isn't just a normal deck of cards, as you can probably see, but

going to see even further. Look, they look like a normal deck of cards from

back, but on the front, you can see that they're not. They're actually

completely blank.

There's nothing on them. I'm going to need someone to examine these further.

How about you, sir, in the black shirt? Come on up.

Give him a round of applause.

Hey, how are you? What's your name? Chase.

Chase, if you could please grab these deck of cards and just make sure that

are, in fact, actually blank.

There's nothing on them.

Nope, they're just regular cards, but blank. Go ahead and mix them up so that

you don't know the order and I don't know the order.

Seems redundant.

You got it?

Perfect. Now, Chase, I have a question for you.

Did you remember to bring your magic wand?

Yes. You did. May I have it?

So that's a no.

Great. It's invisible.

Only decks of cards are invisible. We learned this earlier.

Hold on.

I'll tell you what.

I have a replacement magic wand for you because yours is invisible. We'll make

something visible.

Uh, see here, what can we use? Ah, how about this? Instead of a magic wand,

we'll use a magic marker.

Ooh.

Here, go ahead and hold that. I know, right?

Deck of cards. Now, Chase, I want you to please do me a favor and name

any card in this deck of cards. Of course, we know there's nothing on it,

that doesn't matter. Just go ahead and name any card that you wish.

Out loud. Out loud. Yes, please. The two of...

Hearts.

Watch.

Two of hearts instantly rising to the top.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there it is, the two of hearts. Thank you so much.

No, I'm just kidding. We're going to do this actually for real. All we have to

do is cut the deck, just wave with your magic wand over, and that prints one

card.

And it is, in fact, the two.

Of course, in a blank deck of playing cards. However, that's not enough. Let's

take it a step further. I'll tell you what, we're just going to shuffle the

deck. Now, this took me a couple years to learn. Look.

We'll give the deck a cut, and just give it another wave there, Chase.

Bam! And that prints not only one card, but actually every single card in the

deck.

And the entire deck of cards now completely printed.

Go ahead, examine that. Make sure it is what I say.

It's a normal deck of cards.

Thank you guys so much.

Jonathan Pendragon defies gravity when we return.

Always astounding is this classic illusionist.

and a world -class performer.

Welcome, Jonathan Pendragon.

I've asked the people to come up on stage and join me as the eyes of the

audience. It is your job to watch everything.

Stand your hands out and touch the other person's fingers.

Now, we begin.

Relax. Drop your hands.

Have a seat on the floor.

Well, that's our show. The hand really is quicker than the eye and the brain,

least when you're dealing with the masters of illusion.

Thank you for joining us. I'm Dean Cain. We'll see you next time. Thank you.
