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. How would you describe an

illusion? You might say it's the
impression or the perception.

of something that in reality is not as
it seems. So I wonder, are they real or

are they just bending our mind?

Well, I have a feeling we're about to
find out.

Are you ready?

These wavy lines seem to jump out of
this illustration.

They create motion where actually
nothing is moving.

Creating something that only exists in
your mind is exactly the intent of our

Masters of Illusion.

You'll find out.

Our next performer comes from Seattle,
Washington, and has a very unique

to surprise his targets, catching them
completely off guard.

Watch the very clever manipulations of
Louis Fox.

Oh. Oh, thank you.

So I'm going to show you the oldest card
trick in the world. This trick is so

old, dinosaurs did this to cavemen. Now,
I need someone from the audience.

Someone want to help out?

You do? All right. One hand. I like
this.

What's your name?

Anthony. Anthony, would you come up?
Will you all give Anthony a big round of

applause?

All right. Anthony, you are going to
take any one of these you like. Do not

me see it. You're going to show it to
the audience.

Go for it. Grab one.

Oh. All right.

Got it?

Show it to them. Show it to them. Show
it to them.

Perfect. Show it back here.

Excellent. Perfect.

Hang on to it. I'm going to go grab my
dinosaur.

All right?

Slip that in your pocket. I'm going to
step backstage.

While I do that, you're welcome to tell
a joke or dance, whatever.

What was your turn? Show it to everyone.

That's exactly what I have.

Thank you all.

Originally from England, please welcome
the very funny

and pretty talented Nick Lewin.

How you doing?

It is so nice to be here.

Today's copy of the author today.

This fine piece of journalism.

This is what people used to get their
news from before they had smartphones.

Watch it closely. You can't argue with
hands like these. I've studied the

martial arts.

I have a black belt in origami.

Now watch.

I'm going to create an illusion.

The illusion of tearing this newspaper
in half.

Now, I'm not really going to do it.

I'm just going to create the illusion.

It felt pretty convincing.

Tearing it in half.

Or half, as you say. I'm English.

Another rip, another tear. Torn into
little pieces. He's got the strength of

Hulk Hogan.

The body of Fred Flint.

Watch the actual pieces of tape.

Torn like that. Ripped into perfectly
even pieces.

Pieces. Now you might have seen a
magician who could take a newspaper like

They really look torn up, don't they?
It's kind of scary.

He could just do this and instantly they
restore.

I can't do that.

Actually, I can. I'm going to do it for
you. I'm going to do it in slow motion.

And that is the toughest way to fool any
audience with any kind of magic.

Because it's the quickness of the hand
that deceives the eye. Now watch.

In slow motion, you really may believe
that you see that newspaper getting big.

In fact, if you're watching that
closely, you might even think you see

torn edges start to blend together.

In fact, you might even think you see
that newspaper totally restored, but

could never happen. That would be just
an illusion. And this is just today's

couple of the other two guys. Thank you
very much, Cindy.

There you go.

Amazing is the only way to describe
Richard Turner.

Sometimes we see a performance that is
so impressive it takes magic to a whole

nother level.

Our next performer is an inspiration to
everyone.

At age seven, he began losing his
eyesight, but it never stopped him from

becoming one of the world's most...

Beautiful card technician.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
Richard Turner.

Hey.

Let me ask, how many have ever played my
favorite game, Seven Cards Studs? Say

yes. Yes.

I want you to see, I have a pack of
playing cards. We're going to give them

what's called a casino wash.

And would you please tell everybody your
name?

Hi, I'm Alexis. This is Alexis, and your
name? Mark.

Mark, Alexis, would you give that deck a
shuffle any way you like?

Shuffle up. We'll do the best you can.
You're going to be doing a lot of

shuffling, so time to warm up.

Oh, yeah.

That's good. Just set them here when
you're happy.

Perfect. There you go. All right. How
many have ever played cards for money?

yes. Yes.

Now, we're going to play my favorite
game, seven card stud. Mark, pick a

of players, four or five, for time's
sake. Let's do four. Where do you want

sit, Mark?

One. Two, three, or four. Pick your
position.

Three, always.

Four and three. One, two.

Here's Mark right here, number three.

Now watch this. Alexis, I want you to
take these cards and mix them up.

Don't give me the whole deck back. Just
pull out a random stack. Just give the

deck a quick mix or cut or whatever you
want and put a stack of cards in my

hand.

Alexis is going to do everything she can
to screw things up for Mark.

Awesome. We have player one, two, or
four. Now we have player one.

Player two, here's Mark right here,
number three. Take them back, Alexis.

Mix them all together and hand me any
part of the deck you want.

Just hand me any random stack out of
that deck.

There you go. That's three cards less
than last time.

And we have player four. Now we have
what are called the door cards. That

the face -up cards.

Here's one, here's two, and here's Mark.
Mark, what's that card?

It's a queen of spades.

The queens are wild. Mix them up, mix
them up.

Take them all.

Oh, I love Queens, too.

All right.

And we have player four.

We have player one, player two, player
Mark.

What's that card, Mark? Queen of
Diamonds.

How is she doing this? Mix them up, take
them back, mix them up, mix them up.

Hand me any part of that deck you want.
We're playing seven cards stud.

We play high spade in the hole, split
the pot. Hand me any random part of that

deck. Ooh, that's four cards less than
last time. She's getting sticky.

Sticky around this joint. Player one.

Player one, two. Here's Mark. What's
that card?

The king of hearts.

So, yep. Trip kings right now because
those queens are wild. Mix them up.

All right. Hand me a stack of cards.

Trying to really mix them up. She's
really... Oh, my gosh. She's getting

generous, too.

Player four.

Player one. Player two. You chose number
three.

What's that card, Mark?

Ace of diamonds.

Ooh.

Mix them up. This will be the last card.
Last card.

Mix them up. Once again, she's
shuffling, cutting.

And the point is, even if the deck was
face up, and you could see every card

coming off the deck, or if they had a
giant embossed A on the A and a K on the

K, to do anything under these conditions
would have been inconceivable. And

what's just about heck of it? Switch
them with me. You mix up those right

I deal Mark's last card. Right before I
deal Mark's last card.

Player three, player four. Put that with
the rest of the stack.

Once again, you shuffle the cup.

Four players.

Three to win.

Seven cards done. High spade splits the
pot.

What's that card, Mark?

Two of diamonds.

That's not a wild card. What's that?

Ace of diamonds. Ace.

King of hearts. King. Queen of diamonds.
Queen. We're going to put it with the

ace because it's wild. What's that?

Queen of spades. So that equals three
aces.

What's that card?

Ace of spades. That's half the pot.

Ace of spades. High spade in the hole.

What's that?

It doesn't matter because you have four
aces high spade in the hole.

But you shuffled, you cut, you chose how
many players, you chose where you

wanted to sit. All I did was cheat.

Let's turn our focus now on our audience
camera and the close -up manipulations

of a master from Tokyo. Please welcome
Japan's Shoot Ogawa.

Hello. Hello, everyone. I have a new
friend here. Hi, what's your name? My

name's Carrie.

Carrie, okay. Carrie, nice to meet you.
My name is Shoots.

Thank you.

Okay, nice to meet you. All right, so
we're going to do magic together, so

very important. I use a Hodeco card
here, and I need your help. I want to

one card out, so just take one, but
don't face up, okay? Okay. Yep, yep.

very good. And don't show me, and
remember yourself, but you remember and

to the camera.

Okay, I don't want to see it.

All right, you got it? Yes. You
remember?

Yes. Okay, put it back.

All right. I want to find out your card
with the suit. Just tell me the suit. No

number, the value.

Card.

Just say yes or no. Was your card like a
three of hearts?

No. Nope.

Okay, but this card has three hearts.

That's right. That's why it's three of
hearts.

Okay, so I hope you can see well for the
camera. Can you see between my finger?

So there's a dot, right, like three
hearts here. You can see only two of

but I can slide this.

Heart, closer to the number.

Like almost cartoon, like animation.

Little by little, like that way. You
know, it's the smallest trick in the

theater. So now it moves, and now it
becomes six of hearts. You've got six of

hearts? Wow.

No, I'm sorry, upside down. Six and nine
is very similar.

It's nine.

Really?

Now you're happy and happy.

Thank you very much. Thank you very
much.

The impossible is made possible by Anna
de Guzman.

Our next performer is a young lady who
distracts her subject with her

But beware, her magic is very deceiving.
Here is Anna de Guzman.

I need the help of a very special, lucky
gentleman.

You, sir, would you mind helping me?
Give him a round of applause.

Thank you, sir.

Hi, what's your name? Him.

Him. Lovely to meet you. You're going to
help me. You're going to be my lovely,

beautiful assistant.

Can you take one of these cups, please?
Thank you. We're going to cheers, okay?

What are we cheersing to?

A healthy life. A healthy life, a
magical year, right? Cheers.

Cheers, everyone at home.

Thank you. So, can you hold the cup over
your head?

Yes.

We're going to do a little magic
incantation, okay? Okay.

What are the magical words?

Abracadabra. Okay, that's pretty basic.
We'll go with abracadabra. Classic.

Okay, ready? We're going to do a one,
two, three, abracadabra, and then turn

cup over, okay? Okay.

Right? Wait, what?

Just trust me, right? If you believe in
yourself, it'll work.

Okay.

I'll go first. Ready?

Do you still feel the water?

Yeah. Okay, ready?

One, two, three.

Abracadabra.

One, two, three.

Abracadabra.

Thank you so much, Tim, for trying.

Thank you so much for your help, Tim.

Wow.

Our next magician began performing at
the famous Magic Castle in Hollywood

he was 15.

His blend of comedy, magic, and
inventiveness is more than an invitation

a card.

All grown up, this is Eric Eaton.

Let's get started.

Hi, beautiful young lady. Would you like
to do a card trick?

Give her a round of applause.

I have a deck of cards now. Whenever
you're ready, say stop.

Stop.

Right there? Yeah.

Perfect.

We'll try that again. Ready?

Stop. Right there?

Perfect. Take a look at your card.
Please show everyone here your card. Do

show me.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that card
before.

Now, I have a pen here. Be careful. It's
Sharpie.

Can I get you to mark that card so you
can identify it later?

Put maybe your name, your number, just
something so we know it's truly yours.

Perfect.

I'll take that.

Here's what we're going to do. We're
going to lose your card somewhere in

deck.

Now, over here, I have the fish swimming
in the aquarium, correct?

Slowly going.

Now, I can get you to step aside. I want
you to watch right here.

I want you to imagine your card being
right here on the face of the aquarium.

Watch this.

One, two, three. One card goes right to
the aquarium.

Now, just to verify that, we have one
card. Can you verify? Is that your

signature? Yep.

Everyone give her a round of applause.

Thank you so much.

From Dallas, Texas, please welcome Trig
Watson.

Thank you. It's Janelle, yes?

Janelle, I have here in this bandana
some things that everyone is familiar

a magic prop that everyone can do magic
with.

Any guesses?

No. It is candy!

Because everyone can make candy
disappear.

That's an easy trick. I'm going to try
it here. We're going to try it a little

different way, though. I want you to
hold out your hand like that. That's

perfect. All right. I'm going to try and
make that candy there disappear out of

your hand. Hold on good and tight. Don't
let go.

All right. That's perfect.

Imagine that candy just slowly
disappearing.

Did you feel it disappear?

Yeah.

Say yeah.

Yeah. Good answer.

And now open up your hand again. Look,
it's back again. That's amazing.

OMG. That's incredible.

No, squeeze it really tight. Put your
other hand on top.

See, now it's harder because now I've
got to get through two hands, right? I'm

going to distract you with a different
candy here. I'm going to pull out

this one. All right, I want everyone to
get a nice, close -up view of this here.

Check this out.

One. Don't let go of that yellow one.
You still feel it in your hand? One,

three.

That is the yellow one inside my hand.
Yours has the?

Oak up your hand and show the audience.

The impossible is easy for the masterful
manipulation of Dan Spade.

From the world of darkness comes our
next

performer. He claims Minnesota as his
home, but he is from the land of

Enjoy the very mysterious Dan Spade.

So I like to doodle a lot. Who are you?
Heather. Oh, yeah. Hi, Heather. I like

to doodle a lot. It was told that
especially when I was young, growing up,

helped keep me calm and sort of like
then out.

You know what I mean? So I drew you a
picture.

I'm not going to show it to you yet
because it's more like a prediction.

You know what that is? Yeah. Something
that I think is going to happen. Right.

So I'm actually going to not show it to
you yet. I want to tear off the notepad.

I'm going to fold it up and I need you
to hang on to it with one hand.

And the next thing that we're going to
do is.

Have you choose a playing card, okay?
Now, we can do this the classic way, but

I'm too lazy. So instead, you can see
all are different, right? That's how it

goes. All are different. All are
different.

Whatever. I'm just going to shuffle them
up.

And I just need you to say stop anywhere
as I riffle, right? Okay.

Stop. There?

Okay. Go ahead. Look at it.

I don't care.

You're going to hold on to it, show it
around, show it to the camera, and I

you to put it somewhere where I can't
get to it.

But you can get to it.

Not looking.

Now, remember, I had been working on a
doodle, a drawing that was my

Now, I'm not a very good artist, but
hopefully what I doodled and what I drew

will make sense. I need you right now,
though, do me a favor and just open the

piece of paper. Don't show it to
anybody, but open it.

And there is a drawing on there, right,
of a playing card that I drew, right?

Yeah. And what is it?

Faith. Yeah, and an eight. The eight of
spades. The eight of spades.

Right? Yeah? Yeah. I know that's not it.
I just made up my own. I changed the

lyrics a little bit. You went some, blew
some. But that's your card, right? Yes.

No. What? No. No.

Are you sure? Maybe it's the lighting.
Maybe you're not looking at it right.

Hang on. Hold on to it.

Just like that.

Like I said, it might be the lighting.
So I'm going to help with some matches.

If I light them, I want you to hold on
to the matches. I'm going to trade that

with you just in case this goes out. We
might need more, but I want you to look

close. Because as I actually hold it up
to the paper, you can see it actually

morph and change to the five of clubs.

Take out the cards. So, the five of
clubs.

Now,

that's your shoes in there that you get
to keep.

I know, get excited.

And you can keep the matches too.

Go ahead, take out a match really fast.

There never were matches the entire
time.

Magic show.

Boom. All right, let's go.

We hope you enjoyed this edition of
Masters of Illusion. I know I did. And

sure to join us next time.

So until then, I'm Dean Cain. Good
night.

I'm coming over here.

Good to see you.

Lovely to meet you.

Hey, you smile.

All right.

Bye -bye.
