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.

Welcome to Masters of Illusion. I'm Dean
Cain. Now, when you see something for

the first time, but you have an uneasy
feeling that you've seen it before,

that's called déjà vu.

When you see something you know is
simply impossible, that experience might

called mind -blowing.

So are you ready to have your mind
blown?

Well, you've come to the right place.

The brain kind of goes crazy.

With the design, the more you look at
it, getting a little seasick?

Yeah, well, in fact, nothing, of course,
is moving here. The motion is in your

mind. So how much can your mind
influence what you see tonight?

I'm going to say a lot, right?

Is it worse if I move it?

Whoa, look at that.

I'm taking this home with me tonight.

Our next performer has the ability to
throw a card at any target, possibly

because he was a former NCAA Division I
pitcher, and he currently holds three

Guinness World Records.

Very impressive.

Here is Rick Smith, Jr.

Today, I want to do a challenge.

I need someone that will help me with
this challenge right now. I need a

volunteer. Someone that thinks they can
choose any playing card.

Anybody. Anybody at all. Let's give this
guy a round of applause.

How are you, sir?

Great. Tell me your name.

Javier. Javier. Ready?

Deck of cards. All of the cards are
indeed different.

They are? You're going to choose any one
you'd like. Just grab one out. Go

ahead. Take it.

Memorize it. Do not let me see the card.

Javier, take this marker and please sign
your name at the top of the card.

Out of all of these playing cards that I
have here, you're going to put your

card back in anywhere you'd like, but
don't let me know where it is. Ready?

Place it anywhere you'd like into the
deck.

You got it in there?

Yes. There's no way that I would know
what that card is.

Correct? Correct. Okay.

I'm going to hand this deck of cards.

to one of our stage hands. Curtis, would
you mind coming out here? Can you make

sure the top card is not your card, sir?

Take it and hold it.

It's not your card?

Would you mind holding these?

Javier, time for some accuracy.

Perfect. I'm going to have you stand
right over here, look right at me, and

going to throw a playing card so fast
that it's going to stick in that target.

And do you have the card to throw?

Which card is this? The ace of spades.
I'm going to throw the ace of spades.

I'm going to try to stick it in that
board.

At the same time, I'm going to try to
find your card.

Are you ready?

Right. Curtis, are you ready?

Spring the cards, and I'm going to try
to hit it in midair. Get a little bit

closer. Get a little bit closer.

And go.

Hold on.

This is crazy.

There is one card pinned into another
card. Javier.

One card pinned into another card.

What was your card, sir?

King of heart.

Dined. King of heart.

Magic is the combination of perfect
timing and unexpected surprise.

Well, both of these elements are the
trademark of this magician. Here is

Turco.

We all know some people see the glass as
half full, and some people see it as

half empty.

Well, you'll want to see all of this.

Here is Jason Andrews.

You guys have been such a fantastic
audience, I wanted to do a little toast.

So, here's to you, here's to me, here's
to friends we all shall be. May

we mix, may we mingle.

May this trick make you tingle.

And when it comes time for us to part,
may we remember our time

together.

Cheers!

Up next, Lefty will make you doubt your
senses when we come back.

Our next magician is performing solo for
the first time, and he is sure to be as

amusing as he is amazing. Here is a
magician known simply as Lecti.

Let's go to our audience camera now and
watch the astounding charms of this

award -winning magician from Paris and
her fast French shuffle.

Here's Alexandra Duvivier.

I have noticed something that with a
full deck of cards, sometimes it can be

difficult to follow. That's why we're
not going to use it.

Because I have a solution for everybody,
especially for me. I have taken a small

pack of cards. I have taken also all
alike cards. Much easier to follow. Not

you. But for you, yes.

Only red cards except for one, which is
black by itself.

Okay? And many red cards.

So I put some red.

See, your job guide is to follow the
black card, okay?

And I have to mention that I have too
many reds, so I will put some aside

on, okay? So your job, like I said, is
to follow the black card.

Okay? And like I said, I have to put
some more reds above and below, like

Too many reds, you know, in fact.

But you know what? I have... I put some
aside, like I told you, because I have

20. So now, the key question, where is
the black card? Bring it on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Middle, there, yeah.
This one, this middle, that one.

I was trying to help you guys. I'm
telling you, because it's everywhere. I

you, everywhere I told you.

We'll be right back with a super quick
hand of Matt Marcy.

I have heard that escape artists have
the ability to withstand great pain.

Well, our next performer has the ability
to completely ignore it. Watch the

creative talents of Matt Marcy.

Thank you very much.

It is time for a classic of magic, and
for this, I need the help of a couple of

people from the audience. So let's see.

Ma 'am, what is your name?

Madison. Madison, would you join me up
here? And, sir, what is your name? What

is this? Chris, up here. Madison and
Chris, give them a round of applause.

Right here, Madison. Chris, over here.

There you go.

Excellent. Thanks for volunteering.

Before we do any magic, I want you to do
me a favor and examine my hands. Nobody

trust the magician. Make sure they are
regular hands.

Fingers are attached, nothing up the
sleeve. That's very popular. Look good.

right. Thank you, Madison.

Thank you, too.

Chris, I have here a couple of pipe
cleaners. I want you to select one,

one you would like.

Good choice. That one is for you,
Madison.

Now, pipe cleaners are made from steel
wire, and they do not stretch, and they

do not break. And that will be
important. So give them a tug. Make sure

very strong. You cannot stretch or break
them. The two pipe cleaners, the short

one and the long one, get twisted
together at the center.

Two ends go around one of my thumbs and
get twisted there.

Chris, give that a couple of twists.
Make sure it's good and tight around the

base of my thumb. One more.

Perfect. The two short ends around the
other thumb, Madison, twist those

together. Make them really tight.

Don't worry about cutting off
circulation.

Chris already did that.

One more. Make it hurt. Come on.

Good job. Chris, reach through my wrist
and grab one end.

The other end on top. Pull them around
my thumbs.

Cross the ends. Pull them tight and
twist them together.

Come on, He -Man, until they turn
purple.

Good, good, good, good.

Perfect. So the thumbs are secure.

Perfect. All right, take a step to your
side. Madison, hanging from the stand

are some metal rings. Would you grab the
rings for me?

Check them out and make sure that they
are solid. There are no gaps. There are

no breaks. They don't magically link
together. Look good?

All right, stand right here and hold one
of the rings edgewise towards me.

On the count of three, I want you to
talk right here, okay?

One, two, three.

Just like that.

Toss to the other one right here,
Madison.

One, two, three. Give it a toss.

Check the rings. Make sure that they're
really on the arm. Then check the

thumbs. Make sure they're still secure
and do not separate.

No, please. Calm down.

Do me a favor, Madison. Hang on to the
rings.

Got them good. Now, I realize that
sometimes... Hang those back on the hook

me there, Madison.

Sometimes people think the pipe cleaners
break or stretch or come loose.

We're going to make sure that's not the
case. I'm going to add two more pipers.

Madison. Hold them at the top.

I will feed them through my wrist. Grab
the bottom. Pull the ends around my

thumb. Cross the ends, pull them tight,
and twist them together. But really

tight this time.

Twist, twist, twist.

Twist, twist.

And then make the ends like little
reindeer antlers. All right.

I was totally kidding about the antlers,
but look at that.

We're going to do this one more time.
We're not going to use the rings. I have

one other item.

It is this samurai sword.

Look at his eyes light up. All right.

Chris, do not hurt yourself. Check it
out. Make sure it's solid.

When you're satisfied, hold it in your
right hand with a point to the sky,

side to me.

Slide the upper bit onto your left hand.

We'll be baking later. I want you to be
ready.

Let's see if you can grab it at the top.
Grab it around the blade.

Hold it with both hands straight up and
down. Push your arms all the way forward

and step towards me a little bit.

I'm just going to adjust you a bit so
that the blood goes... Okay.

Thank you.

Tell me.

Madison, I want you to check the phone
for more time, make sure they're still

secure.

Turning purple?

Yeah. That's for your entertainment.

Okay, good.

Chris, whatever happens, please do not
move the door. I do not want to cut

myself, all right?

Here we go.

One!

We have to go, this is ten.

Two.

Three. Right through, Chris. Let go of
your top hand, Madison.

Check the thumbs. Pull them until they
come apart.

Still secure?

Give them both a big round of applause.

Madison, you're fantastic.

Watch your step on the way down. Before
you leave, I need you to help out and

flip these offers.

Perfect. And I get up from there. One
more hand for Chris.

And Madison.

And me.

Impossible Prediction by Nathan Phan.

Now it's time to bring a little culture
to mix in with the magic.

Here is Nathan Phan.

Hello!

Oh, no time to bandy about. I need to
borrow a spectator out of the audience.

Have you been used for anything, sir?
You have not? What's your name?

Everyone, a round of applause for
Daniel. Come on up here.

Daniel, thanks so much for coming up.

Over here, behind this table, I have
here, at this table, I have, these are

numbers here.

They're not in any particular order.

Yes, some of them are small, some of
them are larger, some of them go on

forever. I have some colors as well,
each of these notebooks.

About 25 pages of just different pieces
of information.

Here are some colors here.

Eggshell, crimson, sky blue.

Shapes as well. I have your cube,
tetrahedron, rhombus. You know, the

Convict pentagon. So in a moment, what's
going to happen is this. You are going

to open up each book to any page that
you'd like. Once you do, you're going to

show Stacey what you did. And then
Stacey is going to write down your

big and bold across this. Now, here's
the thing. I can't be...

witness or privy to this, and I also
can't have you thinking that I'm

the information somehow, so I'm going to
blindfold myself with a balloon.

And not just any balloon, the biggest
ruddy balloon you've ever seen in your

life.

You ever seen a six -foot balloon
before?

Yeah, you're about to. Check this out.

Look at that.

Violet! You're turning violet, Violet!

Yeah!

This is what it looks like when the Blue
Man Group goes off on their diet.

Alright,

so here's what's going on. I am going to
climb inside. Alright,

excellent. So I'm going to climb inside.
Once I'm inside, I'm going to give you

the all -clear signal for you to make
your free choice.

1 out of 25, 1 out of 25, 1 out of 25.

And then Stacy's going to write it down.
But, because this is Masters of

Illusion, because you find people that
deserve it, I will sing any song you'd

like as I climb inside the balloon.
Shout out a song!

What's that? The Figaro song from the
Barber of Seville. I think we have that

track. Hit it!

I don't think people realize it's really
me singing.

One at a time.

For charity.

For charity.

For charity.

One at a time.

One at a time.

One at a time.

For charity.

Figaro. I'm here.

I'm Figaro.

Figaro is there.

This part's kind of hard and needs some
help.

Actually, for the first time out live,
could you please read out live the three

selections that you made?

323 red spheres.

That's incredible, because on this
prediction that's been sitting out in

view the entire time, I wrote down 323
red

spheres!

Here's a souvenir for you to take with
you.

Well, that's it for

tonight's Masters of Illusion.

I'm Dean Cain. Thank you so much for
watching.

I'll take the belt.
