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 and
welcome to Masters of Illusion.

I'm Dean Cain. Now, we live in a world
of reality.

So if you witness something that turns
your reality upside down, well, it would

be no less than completely astonishing.

So are you ready to be astonished?

Me too.

We all know smoking can kill you.

Are you aware in this illustration right
here that there's a warning of death in

the ashtray?

The signs of illusion are not quite so
apparent when our masses of illusion...

manipulate your mind.

It's always exciting to see what our
next magician has in store for us. In

tonight's case, it is a lesson in don't
play with matches.

Don't play with matches.

Here is Dan Sperry.

You know, magic goes

back hundreds and hundreds of years.

It's based off of these ancient beliefs,
these ancient sort of rituals even.

Elements.

Earth. Air.

Water.

And fire.

Fire.

Fire is actually the only element that
we, as a species... That is hot. Oh God,

that is hot.

Fire.

It has been said.

is that, oh wait, no, that sucks. We've
got to put the plus. Put it all the way

to the plus. Got to dial it up to 11.
Oh, by the way, who are you?

I'm Molly.

Molly? Yeah, you're Molly?

Molly, what you're going to do is, I
need your help. We're going to use a

bit of the fire to sort of pay homage to
these rituals.

And with that in mind, I thought, what
better way to sort of represent this

by presenting a card trick.

Seems legit.

So, Molly, you're going to reach in and
take one out. I assume, just like

everybody else, you're familiar with
cards, right? You kind of know how

all different and everything like that.
I'm just going to give them a quick mix,

and then you're going to reach in, and
you're going to take one out, any one

like, okay? Okay. Super easy. You can't
screw it up.

All right.

And this one.

That one?

Yeah, okay, go for it. All right, you
know what to do. You take a peek at it,

and you're going to take the marker.

Sign your name, draw a picture, whatever
you like on the faith, nice and big, so

everybody can see. Go ahead and go for
it.

When you're done, you let me know, and
I'll take the marker back.

And then go ahead and show it to
everybody. I'm going to look away. I

to show it to everybody so everybody can
see it. I'm going to help you memorize

it. I'm going to need you to hand it
back to me, please, so I can't see.

Thank you.

I'm going to stick it in the middle and
go ahead and give the deck a shuffle.

Then I'm going to have you basically
babysit the element of fire with the

lighter. Have you played with a lighter
before?

So you know how this works. I'm going to
ask you to light the lighter. You're

going to go ahead and light it. You hold
it on until I tell you not to. Got it?

All right, go ahead.

Go ahead and light it, because what I'm
going to attempt right now is to try to

absorb some of that power from the
element of fire by simply just holding

hand over the top.

You ever play this? You've got to hold
your hand over the fire as long as you

can and see who can hold it the longest.

Really good.

Perfect. That's enough.

What I want you to do is just cup your
hands together, please.

Excellent. And I'm going to try to use
that heat, that element of fire, by

squeezing the deck at my fingertips and
seeing if that element of heat and fire

can actually help create a little bit of
that heat as my

fingers, if you watch close, Molly, you
get to see before anybody else how close

my fingers should start to actually
melt.

Through the deck.

You see that?

You're going to catch them as they go
down.

Go ahead.

Catch them all until we end right in the
middle at the sixth of clubs.

Is that yours?

Melted all the way through the sixth of
clubs with Molly.

Whatever that, that's a smiling face.

All right, Molly.

Abusing of God and bad definition of
art. You are a great sport. Thanks. See

later.

Magic show.

Our next performer comes to us from
Vietnam. Please welcome Mae Nguyen.

We'll be right back with a super quick
pan of Shoot Ogawa.

At the end of a hard day, a lot of
people look forward to martini time.

But Tokyo's very clever illusion has a
special blend for you tonight. This

is the magic of Shoot Ogawa.

All right. I have someone from the
audience. Hi. Hi. What's your name?

Alexis. Nice to meet you. My name is
Shoot.

I'm from Japan.

I'm here for you. Very cool. Okay. I
want you to choose one card. Sounds like

very standard card trick, right? Could
you take one?

And, yeah. Could you sign your name on
the face of the card, please?

So that is very important later. Can you
recognize your signature?

Okay. Very good. All right. I have this
card. Is this the way? Yep. Okay. So I

hold this card here, and I'm going to
use this later.

Okay.

Okay, so I need your help a little bit.
I leave this here over here.

Okay, so I use the handkerchief here. So
may I have your hand, right hand? And

could you feel the current here?

Yep. Okay, very good. And just leave
this hand a little bit lower. There we

Okay, just you can relax like that. Just
remember I use that later. But I want

to use actually a unique object here.

I have a martini shaker and also I use
this one. How about this?

A ball.

You don't care. All right.

So do you know like a martini shaker is
the bottom part and middle part and the

top part like this way. Middle, bottom
and top. All right. This is what I do. I

just take a ball and just throw from the
top like that way. And when I do ball

here, just do this. And now it looks
like invisible.

And I do that.

So then come here.

It's very interesting.

If I do this to one place, it's kind of
easy, but if I do this and if I do that,

that, that, that, to now, bottom,
middle, or top, you choose one.

Middle.

Middle. Surprising you're actually
right. It's right here.

But just in case I prepare three balls
like this, here, here, here, so you can

see a little better, right?

So, yeah, it can be any of those. So
that's why I use only two.

So, I don't use this thing here. So, now
I have two, and I don't use this thing

here, so it's maybe less object. It's
easier, right?

Okay, so this is what I do. So, I just
do this, and move this one towards the

front. Okay, I take this wall here, and
I take this one over here, and do this,

like this, do that.

So, it come back here. It's very...

Okay, I like you. I like you. I like
you.

Thank you. Okay, I like you. Okay, try
it again. So I take this one here. Okay,

I put this one towards the front.

So now I just take this, right? And
this, I take one from here, just like

So do you see that?

Okay, now.

Sorry.

It's right here. Maybe tricky.

Nope.

Actually, it's on the process because
it's stuck in the middle like this. It's

kind of interesting, isn't it?

I know, I'm so good. If I have only one,
it's better. So how about this? I use

only one. So it's pretty simple. So I
don't have to use two piece and two

I just use only one ball. So it's easier
to follow up.

I mean, I don't use two. So it's pretty
simple. Okay. So I have a question. How

many in the cup is here?

Yeah, actually it's two. So maybe I'm a
little confused. I do this way. So how,

okay, what are the color?

White? Actually, white and red.

Actually, red, it's actually a cherry.

But it is the same. Like, you know,
sometimes you feel like one cherry and

ball. Or sometimes you feel like, you
know, sometimes two cherries, like that

way, you can see two.

Or sometimes you can see that I have
actually sold one too, like that way.

But that's not important anymore because
you know, it is not nothing special

anymore. I mean, I'm not gonna eat this.

My hand is sticky.

I mean, I have a handkerchief here.

So you don't need a card anymore. So I
do this and now the card is gone. When

you open your hand, the card is gone.
And now I can see my hand.

Forget about the card because I have
something.

I need a glass.

Let's see.

Right here.

Yeah, actually I have a glass here. Can
you see that?

And also I have these things here. You
can see I have a olive.

Okay, it's very interesting. I know
where it goes, right? So I just tuck

here together. I just do this and shake
like that. So you can see that now I

prepare everything. As you know, shaker
for the drink.

You know, I'm pretty good about tricks.

But a trick is good, but I, you know,
actually, I'm not good about a cocktail.

forgot to put one thing, because I was
going to use, actually, a lemon here,

because I forgot to put lemon, so I have
to cut this one, da -da -da -da -da,

like this way, da -da -da -da -da.

It's kind of nice. And I do this, open
like that way, and you see something

interesting.

I know.

This is...

I just want to make sure, is this your
car? Two of the cars.

This is the signature.

Thank you so much. I hope you enjoyed
the show.

And this is Alexis.

Thank you very much.

Next, laughs and the unbelievable talent
of Trig Watson.

From Dallas, Texas.

Please welcome Trig Watson.

Thank you.

You know, when I told my parents my
dream of becoming a professional

that performed on TV, they softly
suggested that maybe I should have some

of backup plan.

I, being the loving son, I took their
advice into account. I taught myself how

to make balloon animals.

They're so proud.

They are. In fact, given that I have
gone on to become a magician on TV, I

thought maybe I should give you all a
chance to see my backup plan in action.

I'd like to share with you all a few of
my favorite balloon animal masterpieces.

When I say it's handy to be an airhead,
there are benefits.

Folks, I will make this balloon dock.

However... Because this is the Masters
of Illusion TV special, I'll make a

balloon dog.

I'll make it in under 10 seconds.

Blindfolded. Can I go? No way.

I'll put on the blindfold. On the count
of three, I want everyone to count down

from the number 10.

Here we go.

On the count of three.

All right, here we go.

One, two, three, 10.

It's a dog doing yoga.

It's the standard basic dog. Wait, hold
on, hold on. It gets better, it gets

better.

It's a poodle.

Do you like seeing him do a trick?

He's going to do it anyway. Folks, I
want you all to watch my pet poodle,

Play dead.

Get it? Play dead.

Oh, sympathetic crowd. Look, I told you
all it was a balloon dog. You all... You

just didn't believe me at all. I told
you that... There you go.

It was a souvenir for you. Enjoy.

It does not play fetch.

Good night!

In Las Vegas, if you want to combine
your magic with a

laugh, well, you can always look forward
to being fooled by the antics of a

prestidigitator. I said that word again.

Known. As a lesson.

Thanks so much. We have Christian here
from the audience to help me out. As a

magician, I get paid big money.

Not a lot of money, but big money.

Kind of like when you win the lottery
and they come to your house with that

million dollar check.

What bank takes it?

At least living in Vegas, though, I can
put this in one of those big flop

machines. Check it out. Does it feel
solid? Yeah. Made of metal? Give it a

on the tray.

Solid, right? Pretty solid.

What you probably didn't notice is the
edges are a little soft.

Kind of like me.

Don't laugh at that. I'll show you what
I mean. You see, if I just peel back the

metal, the edges are soft because
they're made of chocolate.

It's pretty good. You want some?

No.

I'm kidding. You see, if I take the
metal and I just peel it back up and I

smooth it out, it goes back to being
solid metal. Check it out.

Can you peel the metal back?

If you can, I'll give you one of those
big checks for a million dollars.

And that's magic.

The impossible is made possible

by Alexandra Guglio.

From Paris, the city of light.

vivacious energy, and international
charm, this performer always delivers

unexpected. This is Alexandra Duvivier.

I'd like to make an experiment with all
of you, but especially with you.

Oh yeah. Oh yeah, baby.

Let me find out first if my card...
Yeah, it's a normal deck of cards that

can have it too, sir, if you'd like.
Please, sir, shuffle the cards.

This is a strange way of shuffling the
cards, but I like it.

Good enough for me. That's good.

No worries.

You're sweet. Sir, can you please select
any card you want? Don't show it to me.

You don't show it to anybody but you.

Look at it.

And if you like it, you tell me yes. If
you don't, I have many more in stock.

You can still change.

Love it. Great.

So now I just dribble like that. You
tell me stop whenever you want to put it

back.

You scare me.

Now let's try a memory test, but a
general memory test. You must remember

name of your card, because if you don't,
this is less good for the trick.

I'm telling you, I've done magic for a
few years, and if you don't remember the

card, the trick sucks.

So now, sir, please, some more
shuffling, because I really enjoy the

shuffle the cards.

It's special.

They're great.

Good enough. I shuffled the way you
shuffled.

So that's good.

Now, you know what I'm going to do? I'm
going to take a few cards. Yeah, that's

great. A few cards. And I'm going to do
plenty of cards like this.

You know what?

I'm like that.

I'm going to do for you tonight a
pentagram.

Thank you for your spontaneous
reactions.

Pentagram. I hope you're not scared
because this is a bit scary.

So let me show you how does it look.

I've taken too many. Hopla!

Disappearing card.

And now, I'm going to ask all of you
guys to rub your hands one to another

this. You're going to create some
energy, some heat. And you're going to

towards myself. At the count of three.
One, two, three. Show everything.

That is so good.

I failed something, guys, but I think
you can do better.

Grab.

At the count of three. Ready?

One, two, three. Give me all you got.

Yeah, baby.

This is insane.

Stays in my hand. Sir, what was the name
of your card?

Five of hearts.

Yes! Five of hearts!

Wow!

That was amazing.

All of it.

And that's it.

for this edition of Masters of Illusion.

then, I'm Dean Cain. Good night.
