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.

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

Okay. Our brains process information
from all of our senses. And if something

doesn't seem to add up, if it doesn't
make sense, then the brain will reject

what our senses are telling it. Well, we
are going to challenge your brains to

make sense of things that I promise you
do not add up.

Are you ready for the challenge?

Here we go.

The eye can be deceived.

This flat drawing right here can make
you dizzy because the artist has

successfully created a rolling path to
fool the brain.

But watch your step tonight because our
masters of illusion make the impossible

very possible.

Time now to add a classical touch.

Our illusionist combines two of his
hobbies to create an impossible

Here is Chris Funk.

Thank you. Well, it is card trick time,
because heck, what is a magic show

without an abundance of card tricks?

Let's get crazy, have a bunch of you
select some playing cards. Looks like

can hardly wait down here. Hello.

What is your name?

Fabiola. Fabiola, I'm going to have you
select one of these playing cards. The

way you're going to do it is by saying
the word stop as I riffle down the card.

Here we go.

Stop. You happy with that spot right
there?

Excellent. Fabiola, I want you to take
the card you stopped me at and memorize

it, please. All right. Miss right here,
what is your name?

Nicole. Nicole, you ready for this? Here
we go.

Stop. You happy with that spot right
there?

Excellent. Nicole, I want you to take
the card you stopped me at. I want you

memorize it. Show it to a bunch of
people.

Last but not least, miss, what is your
name?

Alicia. Here we go.

Nailed it. You want to change your mind?

Are you happy with the mind you have?

I want you to go ahead and take that
card. Memorize it.

Fabiola, I'm going to have you place the
card back wherever you'd like in the

pack, please.

Fabiola, thank you very much. Nicole.

Place it back here. I like how you're
leaving them sticking out. Makes it a

whole lot easier for me to find them in
a moment.

Alicia, go ahead and place the card back
here.

Okay, I need a bit of a challenge with
these three cards. Can you just help me

out and give them a little mixy -mix, a
little shuffle? Just don't change the

order.

Never mind. Okay, I'll take those.

Personal anecdote time. Didn't always
know that I was going to be a magician.

No, I thought I was going to be a
musician.

Okay, let me rephrase.

My parents told me I was going to be a
musician.

Anyone feeling my pain? Yeah.

Parents broke the news to me at the age
of six when they said I'd be taking

music lessons on the violin.

Played for ten years, broke my parents'
hearts, and quit. I'd always wondered

what it would look like if I combined my
love of music with my love of magic,

and I figured that now's the time and
this is the place. One by one, you're

going to name your card out loud, and
I'm going to see if I can match the

to the card and cause something really
amazing to take place.

Fabiola, we're going to start with you.
The card you selected was?

Three of spades. Thank you very much.
Three of spades. So this is how it

Three is a small number, a little
number.

Fun. Spades. Always sophisticated. So we
need something fun, yet sophisticated.

Sounds like a job from Mozart.

Here we go.

it. I get it.

You're like, yeah, there was a
handkerchief on top. We'll do it

Nicole, next, the card you selected was?

Queen of Diamonds.

Ooh, Queen, elegant, diamonds, elegance.

Someone just shout out their favorite
artist. Anyone, shout one out.

Bach, I like it.

Song by Bach, I think I know one. Beret
in G major by Bach. To show you this is

not pre -recorded, I will insert a wrong
note.

Last but not least, Alicia, what was the
card that you selected?

Ace of hearts.

We have to do something a little bit
more spectacular for that to happen with

ace. Something a little like this.

Nailed it.

Now in our audience, with his own
personal way to conquer life's barriers,

is Tommy Wind.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Well, one of my favorite things to do
is, of course, perform magic, and I get

travel all around the world performing
magic as well. But one thing I noticed,

when I travel performing magic, I look
out for the magic shops, and I always

want to see the cool magic they have in
those shops, and they always have stuff

on the top shelf, and I can't reach it.
So this is how I solve that problem. I

bring along my briefcase, and inside of
my briefcase, I also bring along an

eight -foot...

From Tokyo, Japan, here is a performer
whose quick dexterity baffles even the

most cynical observer.

Watch Shoot Ogawa.

Here, turn over like this. What's your
name? Nicole.

Nicole? Yeah. Okay. Nicole.

All right.

But I want to borrow your ring.

It's a very personal thing.

Could you take off? Wow, you have
actually a lot. Okay, good. All right. I

like to use that one because it's very
fancy.

I would like to use this ring and also
little magic wand. It's made in Japan,

very small size, designed for the course
of magic.

Okay?

I want a ring and magic wand. I want you
to count one, two, three together.

Okay? Are you ready? Okay.

Watch carefully.

Okay. One, two, and three. Like this.

But you think it's in the other hand,
but it's not here because it's magic.

It's gone.

Thank you very much.

Okay, next trick. Okay, let's do the
next trick.

Do you like card trick?

Of course, yeah.

All right, so I want you to take one
card from this deck of cards. Okay. And

first... Take the card out, but don't
turn over the card. Just put it on the

table. Take one first and keep it on the
table. There you go. Okay, I look away

like this. You show to everyone.

Can you see the card, everyone?

Very good. And put it back right here.

So now, I have something.

This is a very special box.

Actually, I have this more than 20
years.

So, it's a little old box, but could you
hold it here? Something in the box. It

was right here all the time. It was in
front of you.

So, I want you to open the box. Please
open it. This box is very fragile.

It's funny, huh?

It's alright, it's alright, it's
alright.

I have one card in the box. It was here
all the time. So, very first, I want to

ask you, what was your chosen card?

Ace of diamonds? Ace of diamonds.

Thank you very much.

Tonight I want to give you something.
Here we go. Open it.

What do you see?

Something in it.

Show it to everyone.

Well, this is called an ember.

It's a kind of jewelry.

This insect has been inside here for
over 30 million years. She was inside a

long time, just like...

Your ring.

I mean just like your ring The you're
choosing got ace of diamond watch do you

see how it's well slightly in the middle
of the card?

Okay

Is it sure? Are you sure?

We'll be right back with the super quick
hands of Joel Myers.

Now we focus on our audience camera. Try
to follow Joel Myers.

All right, so I am here with Zach and
Nathaniel.

Nathaniel and Zach. Guys, we're going to
try something sweet.

Get it?

Cool.

Tough crowd. All right, check it out. I
got a couple of pieces of candy here. I

got a red piece and a yellow piece.

Television candy.

Here's what it looks like. It's just two
regular pieces of candy. I'm going to

take both pieces and I'm going to place
them in my fist.

Here's what's going to happen, Zach. I
want you to name either piece you want,

the red one or the yellow one. The
yellow one. Yellow one. When I snap,

this out, the yellow one will disappear.

Here's the craziest part, though. When
it disappears, it goes somewhere.

Zach, have I touched you? You have not.

Reach in your pocket, Zach.

Top pocket.

Inside should be a yellow piece of
candy.

And it should be the same piece.

The obvious is never obvious when you
watch the always energetic action of

Cook.

Thank you very much. I would like to
teach you a party magic trick that you

do the next time you're hanging out with
family or friends. I do need someone to

help with this. What is your name, sir?

Jacques. Jacques. Bill. Pleasure to meet
you, Jacques. Come on up and join me on

stage. Everyone give it up for Jacques.

Jacques, stand right here. First things
first, it's a card trick. I hope you're

not opposed to that. The card trick is
fairly simple. We begin with the

traditional pick a card.

Reach out there, Jacques, and just touch
one.

That one. Are you sure? Fantastic.

Take a look at the one you touched.

For the camera, for the audience, for
me, eight of spades.

Second step, Jacques, is I need you to
hold in your left hand this pin.

Just stand right there.

Perfect. Third step, Jacques, is I also
need your right hand.

Hold on to that.

Fourth step is I need one of these.

A balloon.

Woo -hoo.

The idea is simple.

Open your fingers a little bit.

We touch the deck of cards. We touch the
pin. One card lands inside of the

balloon. The Eight of Spades!

Now, I promised to teach you how this is
done, and I am a man of my word.

Let's start with the beginning.

You could have picked any card you
reached out and touched when we'll use

Eight of Spades again.

I then had to put the playing card where
I needed it to be in the deck.

What looked like was me going inside the
middle was a lie. I just put it right

on top of the deck. Ha ha.

Magic.

Then I shuffled everything, leaving the
eight of spades on top. When I went back

to get the pin, I took the eight and I
threw it in the box.

But everyone was looking at the pin that
they never saw me throw the eight in

the box.

Then I take the card and I press it
against the balloon. Now, for clarity's

sake, it looks like this.

I then touch this to your hand, I touch
it to the pin, bam, it appears and all

is good. But what happens if you're at a
party with someone who's a bit of a

jerk?

A skeptic?

Well, you need to one -up them.

And the best way to do that is like
this. You start by blowing on the card.

And you get the card most of the way in.

Let's see.

We're down to a corner.

Would you go on it?

That's when the card shoots all the way
inside the balloon.

And that is how you shut people up.

And that's a magic trick for you. Thank
you so much for being fantastic. Good

enough for Joss, ladies and gentlemen.

Nathan Burton adds a little fun to his
magic when we return.

It's time to go to our audience camera
for a quick conversation with a man who

knows how to demonstrate a rule in
mathematics.

Watch the quick manipulations of Nathan
Burton.

Thank you very much.

What's your name, big man?

Michael. Michael, nice to meet you. I
got a very important question for you.

you married?

No. Got a girlfriend?

No.

Well, I got something very special for
you, Mike. I got with me a $1 bill.

I want you to hold on to it right there.
Both hands, both hands. Hold it up so

that everybody can see.

Hold it like that. Nice big smile. Stay
right there. Don't move. Right over

here. What's your name?

Liana. Give Liana a big hand. Come right
over here.

Stand right over here.

Check her smile.

Okay, big man. Say hello to her.

Hello. Say hello back.

Now give her the dollar.

That's what it's like to be married.
Good job.

Wait until you get older. You need more
dollars.

Now, I brought something very special I
want to show you guys. I brought with me

two little bunny rabbits.

This one's for you.

Hold it up.

They're not real.

Hold on to that one.

Hold them just so everybody can see.
We've got two little bunny rabbits. Go

ahead and set them on the table, guys.

Now, this one's yours. Now, watch
carefully. We're going to take yours.

going to put it in my hand. This one's
for you. Open up your hand.

Squeeze real tight. Don't let go. Big
man, on the count of three, you're going

to blow in my hand. Ready?

One, two, three, blow.

Did you feel that?

Open your hand very slowly. You've got
two little bunny rabbits.

That one's a mama. That one's a papa.

You take them. You're going to squeeze
them real tight. Don't let go. Big man,

go ahead and blow one more time.

Don't spit.

Blow.

Do you know what happens? You have a
mama and a papa. You squeeze them real

tight.

Babies. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
Yes.

Guys, I'm not sure how that trick works.
You should ask your mom and dad after

the show how that trick works. Give it
up for them. They did awesome.

Sometimes picking a card is not

enough.

Don't blink.

Just watch.

Farrell Dillon.

We're going to do a card trick.

You seem very excited about this.

I'm going to go through the cards like
this, okay?

As I go through them, you say stop
wherever you feel like.

Stop. Right there, okay? You have a
choice of like a bunch of cards. Which

do you want? You can point it out to me.

The four of hearts.

All right, so here's the deal, Liana.

By the time the four of hearts hits the
table, it will double the size of the

rest of the cards.

Are you ready for this?

I'm ready.

All right, watch.

One, two, three.

Liana, look.

It is now twice the size of the rest of
the cards. See?

Look.

I didn't say this one would get bigger.
I said it would just be twice the size.

See that? Look, all the other ones are
little tiny cards. This one's a regular

-sized card, but it looks big.

But look, if I spread it like this now,
all the other cards get big, except for

yours right there in the middle. That
four of hearts now is a little tiny itty

-bitty card.

Well, we can end this, look, because I
feel like you think you're

So if I pull the four hearts out, it
doubles in size, gets back to normal,

that, ladies and gentlemen, is a pretty
cool magic trick.

Next, is your mind able to keep up with
the antics of Chris Randall?

But our next... This performer is a true
master of raising expectations.

The always surprising Chris Randall.

Have you ever tried to save space by
organizing a bunch of objects that just

don't seem to go together?

Well, the end result is often a
surprise, even to yourself.

Here is Greg Gleason.

That's Masters of Illusion for tonight.
I hope everyone enjoyed The World of the

Impossible. Until next time, I'm Dean
Cain. Good night.

Hold on, you guys.
