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, good evening everyone.

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

Now there are certain things in life that are given.

Things that we just know to be true.

We can predict that if I hold up a ball and let go of it, the ball will drop to

the floor.

We know that will happen, right?

What if it doesn't?

Well, that's what this show is all about. Things that your mind knows

happen, will happen. Are you ready to see what I'm talking about?

All right.

Our artist tonight has sent in some clowns to distract you.

Or are you attracted to the very colorful woodpeckers, almost hidden by

dominating colors of the painted faces?

Hmm. At first, I never saw the birds. Now I only see the birds.

And illusion confusion is their goal. It's also the goal of tonight's Masters

Illusion. So prepare yourself for misdirection.

I always watch our next performer with a sense of awe.

He is incredibly inventive. Tonight, he challenges himself.

This is Trig Watson.

Keep holding on to the green and don't let go.

Let's go back now to the audience camera and the close -up mastery of Nathan

Fan.

Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you.

Recently, I've been performing a lot on cruise ships. And when you're on a

cruise ship, you have to guard your valuables, like your cell phones,

you know, you drop it overboard, you're in trouble. But I figured out a life

hack, a magic life hack to protect your mobile device. I need to borrow a cell

phone from somebody here. Oh, do you have a... May I borrow this?

Yes, absolutely here. Do me a favor and just check out this bottle. Make sure it

maintains pressure, right? The cap is on. You know, it's not like cut up or

anything like this. And this really is your mobile device. Excellent. I'll take

this back. All right. So I'm going to show you how, if you were on a cruise

ship, I would protect your mobile device. I would take it and pop it into

bottle.

Now take it.

And the thing about this is that because the cap is on, if you drop it into the

water, it will float.

And that will probably choke a whale. So, you don't, you really don't want to,

which is why, that's the danger of it. All right, so here, I'm going to, I

don't, here we go.

We're going to try this. How else am I going to get this out?

I'm going to, yours is already in the case. So, if anything happens, it'll be

really, really minimal.

I'm going to just cut this.

Okay, there we go.

Excellent. And if you could just reach in and grab your mobile device, that

really is yours. Yes, watch the edges, they're a wee bit sharp.

But that really is your cell phone, yes?

Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

Next,

the amazing card wizardry of Hayes Thompson.

Here is a lady with a special mission.

She began practicing magic when she was just six years old, and the fascination

to perform has never left.

Please welcome...

Paige Thompson.

Thank you.

I am so excited to be here and do some magic.

You ready?

Now I know. Don't be mad.

It is a card trick.

But this card trick will be one of the most unbelievable things you've ever

seen. And I need some help. I need some help. I need some help.

Hello. What is your name?

Jenny. Give it up for Jenny. Jenny, join me.

Jenny.

Now, you've seen cards, yes?

I'm going to need you to pick a card. Wow!

Cool. Okay, go ahead. Take one out.

Whatever one you want.

Show it to the world. Let everybody see what it is. It's okay. Well, you too,

yes. But I also happen to need your autograph.

Is that cool?

Sure. So it is the only three of hearts in the world with your name on it.

Perfect. Sign her up.

Nice autograph. Okay. Now.

Everybody can see? Yes, we see her name.

Very important. We're going to hide it inside.

And guess what? To make this card trick the craziest card trick in the world,

you get to pick another card.

Wow.

Go ahead. Take one out.

Show it to the world. Let everybody see what it is. Yes, yes. We're showing it.

We're seeing it.

I need your autograph again.

Yay!

You could have changed your name if you wanted to. Go ahead. Put it back face

down.

Awesome. Let's everybody take a look so we can remember her name again. Wow.

Double the name.

Now, we're going to hide it. We're going to bury it. We have to lose it again.

It is gone.

But I told you this card trick was going to be amazing, right?

So to make it amazing, we need a blindfold.

Wow. You ready?

And this trick was inspired by these shoes.

I'm not even going to use my hands to find your cards.

Okay.

Okay, so this is the crazy part, where I'm going to go on the floor to

mixy mix, mix, mix, mix, mix.

Am I making a mess?

Is it a mess? Okay, great.

Great, great, great, yes.

So I have to come back up. Okay.

Wee, work out. Great, okay.

Now, I told you these shoes, powerful shoes, magic of shoes.

Am I on any card?

Okay, so these heels are supposed to find them. Is it on a card? Am I on one

card? Just one? You promise?

Okay. I'm going down.

Ladylike.

And one card. Yes. Is there a name?

On this card.

Yes? Woo!

Okay. But, Jenny, that's one. Where are you? Jenny? Jenny? Okay, that's for you.

Yay! Souvenir!

And...

Back on the cards.

Close? Not yet. Okay. My left foot, is it on a card?

Not yet. What?

It's selling right there. Right there. No?

No? Wait.

Jenny, wow.

It is.

There's a card. I feel it. I feel it. In the shoe.

Is there a card?

Yes?

In the shoe?

Jenny?

What?

One card. I can take off six?

Use those.

Sanitary. Very sanitary.

Yes?

One card, hopefully. Let's make sure.

That would be Jenny.

Three of them.

One. One.

Souvenir. Number two. We'll make sure it's sanitary for you. Give it up for

Jenny. Woo!

Watch this.

astounding skill of Sean Jay.

Our next magician is very difficult to keep up with.

He is the epitome of the hand is quicker than the eye.

Please enjoy the deception of Sean Jay.

A lot of times when you see a magician perform before, you probably see them

take like a colorful handkerchief like this and show it on both sides and show

their hands empty before making like a live animal or something appear like

that. I'm a little bit different though. I like to say just watch.

Now you're probably wondering, is this my watch or is this your watch?

Anybody?

Want to check the wrist?

You're in the presence of a magician here, you know.

This is definitely my watch, and I trust you. What's your name?

Karina. Karina. Karina, I'm going to have you help me. I want you to do this.

Grab just the top edge.

Just squeeze the top edge of the watch. Be very gentle. Be very gentle with it

right there. And just hold your other hand below.

I'm going to stand right over here. I don't even want to touch it. Bring your

hands a little bit closer together.

A little bit closer. A little more.

What happened?

Show them.

There are three coins.

Isn't that ridiculous?

Okay, I'm going to take these three coins.

We're going to travel in time.

Hold out your right hand.

You see the eagle on the back of the coin? The eagles are there because

going to fly.

And you're going to see it fly. This is what it looks like when money actually

flies.

we're going to go back in time, back to the moment. You can relax your hand.

Back to the moment to where I only had two coins.

Just two coins.

Now we're going to go back in time, back to the moment to where we only had one

coin.

We're going to go back all the way where I had

Nothing at all.

Every time I put it away, it always jumps right back.

You know why I do this?

Because it's proof, ladies and gentlemen, that time is money.

Money is time.
