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, everybody. Good evening.

I'm Dean Payne. Welcome to Masters of Illusion.

Matter and energy.

Time and space.

There are elements of the universe that cannot change, that cannot bend and

cannot break.

Or can they?

What do you think?

You think yes?

All right, well then let's find out.

And we all love this creature of the sea. And it has been said that dolphins

the smartest inhabitants of the ocean with many human qualities.

But look closely at this portrait, and it's actually a mosaic of hundreds of

favorite little flippers.

Can our Masters of Illusion flip your concept of reality?

We're going to find out.

Now our Master of Illusion amazes a member of our audience.

You won't believe what she will be put through.

This is Michael Turco.

Hey guys, how we doing tonight?

Awesome.

All right.

We're going to have some fun. I'm going to pick a whole bunch of people.

Actually, you're going to pick yourselves.

I need about eight or ten people to help me out, if you don't mind. Yeah, stand

up. Stand up over there. Two, three, four.

Perfect. Five, six.

All right, we've got a couple more.

Good. Come on up here. How's everyone doing?

All right, guys, come with me. We're going to actually come back here. I need

all of you to stand over here.

Face the audience. Make a little semi -circle.

Awesome. Very cool.

All right. Well, ladies and gentlemen, they're going to be the eyes behind that

solid mirror that's on stage. And you at home and everybody here, you're going

to be eyes in the front.

What's your name?

Bailey. Bailey. You want to help me out?

Perfect. Come with me. Bailey.

I need you to check this mirror for me. Come on over here.

Give a couple of knocks.

Make sure it's nice and solid.

Does it feel solid?

It does. Cool. We're going to place this on the front here. And then I do want

you to check it again and make sure it is nice and solid. Right up here.

Inside here.

Perfect. Solid.

Good. Come on over here. Guys, give her a round of applause. Nice job.

Awesome. This is Masters of Illusion. And tonight, we're going to try

impossible. Are you ready?

All right. Come with me.

Stand right here.

Bailey, I need you to sit up here. You think you can do that?

Perfect. Stand right here for me.

Face me. I'm going to give you a little boost. Ready? One, two, three.

Good. Perfect.

Turn this way, nice and slow, okay?

Come down here, bend a little bit towards me, and now slowly put your head

She'll help you down.

Awesome. All right, Bailey, you ready for some fun? Keep your hands just like

this. Her smile's awesome.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, solid through solid.

Turn sideways.

Did you feel it? Was it crazy?

Jump down. Jump down.

Did you melt right through the mirror?

You did. Wasn't that cool?

Give me a high five. Awesome job. Give it up for Bailey, everybody.

You're awesome.

Bailey, come on over. Come on over.

What I want you to do is I want you to check this out, okay?

You ready? Give it a couple knocks.

Make sure it is nice and solid.

Pretty cool, right?

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Bailey and everybody up here that helped

out. You were awesome.

Take a bow. Take a bow. You did it.

Okay, I have watched this next performer very, very closely, and what he does is

absolutely spectacular.

With an ordinary, everyday product, he will absolutely baffle you. This is Leon

Etienne.

Yes, message of illusion.

Guys, every time someone finds out I'm a magician, they say to me, Leon, how do

you do your magic? Is it done with smoke, mirrors, glue, tape?

And guys, I got to be honest with you. I don't use any of that in my act.

Well, I do use tape once in a while, but it's not in secret. It's not to hide

anything. It's actually to perform magic with. Let me show you what I mean,

guys. We're going to rip off.

One,

two, everyone count with me, three, four, and five

pieces of tape. That's on one hand.

Continuing the count.

Wait for me.

Six, seven, eight, nine,

ten. And ladies and gentlemen, as you just saw, getting ten individual pieces

tape on ten individual fingers.

Is not easy.

And I think that deserves a round of applause.

Five here.

Five here.

And if you think that's easy, you try it at home, okay?

Now we're going to put all the pieces of tape together.

And we're sticking them back to back to back.

We still have ten individual pieces.

The only difference is now they're just sticking together at the back.

And here's where this gets really interesting, guys.

Ladies and gentlemen, magic

with tape.

The impossible is made possible by sacred rehab. When we come back.

Every so often, we come across an entertainer who is incredibly unique.

Well, tonight, from Indonesia, we bring you the amazing performance and

enchantment of Sacred Riana.

You come to the stage.

Sit down.

People died in building blaze Suicide

victim to bleed

These

are the victim

Who caused the fire?

Hold it.

The other victim didn't want him.

He is rejected.

This is the person that you choose.

Access to access.

Dust to dust.

You shall burn once again.

He got nowhere to go now.

But he will follow you home.

Look at the picture.

Show it.

Go back to your stage.

Chipper Lowell adds a little fun to his magic when we return.

I don't think I know anyone who has as much fun as our next performer.

Tonight, he has invented his own monkey business.

This is Chipper Lowe.

Thank you.

Thank you so much. And this is Melissa. Give it up for Melissa, everybody.

Nice to have you here, Melissa.

We are going to do a card trick. You know, it's magic. That's the way it

Let me show everybody.

Ordinary deck of cards. Each one's completely different. Blah, blah, blah,

blah, blah, blah.

Take the cards, if you would, and cut them up, shuffle them up. Just mix them

a little bit more, however you want to.

And then once you're done, put them back in my hand, if you would, please.

Okay, excellent.

And I'm going to spread them out. I want you to take one card, hold it against

you. Don't look at it. Don't show it to anybody.

Have you done that?

Yes? Okay, I'm going to take them back. If you would, I would like you to take a

look at it, of course, and then show it to everybody on this side and this side

and the back. Tell me when you've done all that.

Yes?

Yes. Okay, great. Hold it against yourself so when I turn around, I won't

it. Excellent. Okay. And then I'm going to have you place it back anywhere you

want. Face down, of course.

In there. Face up. Easy trick.

Okay. Have you done that?

Is it all the way in?

It is. Okay. Now, I'm not going to find your card. I have a friend that's going

to come out and find it.

It's right in here. Are you right there? Yes.

It's monkey.

It's monkey.

Do you remember these?

Yes. This monkey is actually psychic, and we're going to put him in the pocket

right there. Stay right there. Don't be nervous.

Okay. Never met you before.

All right. And I'm going to show you the cards, monkey, and then you just tell

me which card it is, okay? So as we go through, you're just going to tell me

which card. All right. Please take it serious.

Okay. There we go. Oh, that one.

You sure?

Okay. All right. Nice, loud voice. Please tell us what was your card.

again. So if you would, select a card. Once you have it, tell me when you got

it. Do you have one?

Okay, don't show it to anybody right now, okay? All the rest of the cards are

going back into the bag.

There we go. Let's shake them up a little bit.

Very nice. Okay. And then, monkey, stay there for a second.

Go ahead and... Oh, show it to everybody. That would be helpful.

Yeah, show it to everybody.

Yes? Okay.

Go ahead and put it into the bag as well. We'll keep shaking it up.

Yes. Excellent. All right.

Monkey's going to look and find it.

Okay. No, no. You get a banana later.

Okay. Monkey's going to need help. Is that all right?

It is. Okay. Would you do me a favor? Would you hold the monkey just like that

from the top?

Very nice. There you go.
