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.

Hi,

I'm Dean Dane, and welcome to Masters of
Illusion.

Okay, we all know that magic isn't
really real.

Right?

Right?

It's just illusions.

Tricks to make you think you're seeing
something that you know is not possible.

Well, don't tell that to Eric Jones
because magic is the only word I can use

describe his skills. Hello, Eric. How
are you, man? Elbows.

43 quintillion. That's the magic number.

43 quintillion. 43 quintillion are the
amount of possibility with one of these.

Yes. Now, a lot of people know about
flight of hand. What I want to do is

you something a little bit different
called a flight of mouth.

Okay.

Eric Jones, ladies and gentlemen,
program.

Next up is a variation on a cop.

Here is Alex Ramone.

All right.

This is part of the show where I saw
someone in half.

Are there any volunteers?

Does anybody want to volunteer someone
else?

Okay, you know what? This illusion isn't
fooling anyone.

Think about it.

A really big box.

You can never look inside to see if
there are fake legs.

There's this big metal thing the
magician says is a thaw, but it couldn't

through anything.

And then the most obvious part. You can
tell the girl has room to move around,

like she can get out of the way. It's
obvious. But I'm still going to perform

this illusion despite what I just said.
But all those classic elements that made

this illusion possible are now gone.

First, that really big bop, it's gone.

This is what we're going to use.

I have a T -square here with a ruler.

I'm going to measure the depth of the
box, which is 10 inches. And can you

please confirm for everyone that is what
it says? 10 inches, correct?

Yeah. Now I'll measure the width of the
box. From shoulder to shoulder, it is 14

and a half inches.

14 and a half?

All right. Now the box is actually
smaller than 14 and a half by 10 because

the thickness of the materials used.
Take a look inside. Nothing to see.

Nothing to hide. There are no fake legs.

Now, since I do not fit inside this box,
and no magician has ever sawed himself

in half, I'd like to please welcome to
the stage Miss Megan Doyle.

You're about to see something that even
puzzles magicians.

And now for the second element, the saw.

Here's the saw with no trap doors.

And obviously, it's real.

Some people believe in the law of
attraction, the idea of being able to

things into existence.

Our next performer can do exactly that.

Here's Kevin Lee.

Let's play with some letters. I have the
word empty here, but if I take off the

letter E, it still says empty.

I can take off more letters like the P,

empty, the Y, empty.

And of course, by taking off the rest,
it's empty.

If I put this letter back on, what is
that?

You're exactly right.

It's T.

So let's take this a step further,
because I am wearing a T right now.

If I put this letter back on, it's an
empty.

Let's answer something else, though,
okay?

Something that you've all heard of
before,

It's milk tea, right? M -T, milk tea, a
.k .a.

boba, milk tea.

I'm scared to death.

An impossible prediction by the
clairvoyants. Next.

He's next to never cease to amaze me. I
cannot wait to see what they have in

store. Let's hear it for the
Clairvoyants.

Thank you very much.

Now we want to try something, and
therefore we have a couple of random

members here on stage. Thank you so much
for helping out. Just for everyone at

home, nothing is set up, and you have no
idea what we're doing next, right?

Great.

If this goes wrong, Everybody here on
stage, I will have a little present for

you. Everybody will get a lottery
ticket, Powerball from California, so

million. Not too bad.

I will leave the money and the lottery
ticket right here in full view the

time. And now I have a couple of
questions for you.

Hello, what is your name?

Sydney, Sydney, just give me one number
between 1 and 69.

15. 15, one five. Great.

One five.

15. Okay. Hi, what is your name? Hi, my
name is Lillian. Lillian, just between

the two of us, how many pairs of shoes
do you own?

20. 20? Okay, that's a nice number.

Number 20 it is.

One more question for you. What is your
name?

Alexandra. Alexandra, what's your
favorite meal?

Taco. Taco? How many times a year do you
eat tacos?

Oh, more than 69, but the number in my
head is 42.

42 it is. We'll go with that. Great. 42.

Hi. What is your name? Julia. Julia. So
it's one number between, let's say, 42

and 69?

49. 49. 49?

Hi, sir. How are you tonight?

Great. I'm great. Do me a favor. What is
your favorite drink?

Horchata. Okay.

How often do you drink this a year?

Fifty -five.

Fifty -five. Fifty -five. Hey, hi, what
is your name? My name is Aubrey. Aubrey,

last but not least, totally up to you,
any number between, let's say, one and

thirty -nine?

Thirty -four.

Thirty -four, okay.

Thirty -four it is.

Thank you so much. You see, we asked our
lovely audience a couple of random

questions. Yes, but also we get
questions from time to time, for

You call yourself the clairvoyant, so if
you know everything, why don't you just

play the lottery?

I have to tell you, tonight we played
and we won.

$2 .75.

It's something. It's not a big win for
Amelie and me, but maybe it's a huge win

for all of us here tonight. You
remember, at the top of the egg, I

money and my lottery ticket here on the
table. There's nothing in my hand.

Can you do me a favor? Can you come over
here and help me out for a second? Just

place the balloon on the floor.

Stay. Stay. Perfect.

Nothing in my hand.

Take out the lottery ticket.

And for the first time, do me a favor,
unfold it.

And from left to right, read out loud
the numbers. What is the first number we

always play in the lottery? Fifteen.

Fifteen. If I'm correct, I think that
was your number, right?

Oh, my God.

What's after that?

20. I think there's a lady on stage with
20 pairs of shoes at home.

Right after that?

42. 42. I think that was you.

After that?

49. 49 it is.

55. 55.

But at least, what is the Powerball? It
is 34.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Joe Myers, next.

I always look forward to this next
performer.

I cannot wait to see what they have in
store.

Here's Joe Mayer.

What is up, guys? So I am here with a
random member from the audience. This is

Annabelle, right, Annabelle? Yeah.

Annabelle, here's the deal. We're going
to try one of the most dangerous things

you will see live on stage. I guarantee
it. But don't worry because I've turned

it into a game.

It's a fun little game, and this game is
loosely based on a game that was

invented in Russia. The game that it's
based on is called Russian Roulette.

Annabelle, don't freak out, okay?
Because Russian roulette uses a gun.

going to use a gun. That would be crazy,
psychotic. I'm either one of those

things. Yes, you are. Shut up. Sorry,
there's some voices in my head.

Annabelle, what we're going to be using
is the granddaddy of all cookies, the

sandwich cookie.

I love that. You like that?

So, Annabelle, here's the deal.

I've got a bunch of them here. Do me a
favor and pick a cookie, any cookie.

Nicely done.

So, Annabelle, I...

I didn't say eat it.

You popped it right in your mouth.

I offered you a snack, not the whole
kitchen.

Annabelle, you just dove right in. You
ate the whole thing, which tells me

you're like a go -getter. You don't
hesitate with anything in life, yeah? So

here's what we're going to try, though.
We're going to try something insane with

the cookies. And I show you the cute
stuff to show you the crazy stuff.

Annabelle, do me a favor and pick out
any four cookies that you want. Four

random cookies. Take out four of them.
Perfect. One, two.

Three, four, six.

Okay, here's what's going to happen.

Annabelle, I want you to take those
cookies and place them one at a time on

lazy Susan like this. One at a time,
each cookie on the lazy Susan. There's

two, three, four.

Awesome. Now, out of those four, choose
one and hold it up like this, Annabelle,

so everybody can see.

Perfect. Annabelle, we're also going to
be using something else that should not

go with any food, much less a cookie.
We'll be using a stainless steel.

Razor blade.

Now, Annabelle, I want you to see this
razor blade is razor sharp. It cuts

through the paper just like butter.
Yeah, it's very, very real and very,

sharp, yeah? Yeah.

Okay, cool. So here's the deal.

The cookie that you chose, I'm going to
take the razor blade and kind of like

stuff it into the stuffing of the
cookie. You see that?

Just like that. You see it going into
the stuffing of the cookie, yeah? So you

can see that, yeah?

I'm not eating another one of those.

Yeah, there we go. Perfect. That one's
going to go right here. At this point,

you know that the razor blade is in that
cookie. You know it. You saw it go

there. Everybody else knows that it's in
that cookie.

I know that it's in the cookie. And
here's what's going to happen. I need

keep an eye on that cookie, Annabelle.
No matter what happens, keep watching

where the cookie is with the razor
blade.

Okay, you good?

Got you, bro.

You're like, what's the confidence for
that person?

So, Annabelle, at this point, honestly,
you don't know where the razor blade is,

right? No.

The truth is, is the audience doesn't
know. And most importantly, I don't even

know where the razor blade is. But
Annabelle, we're going to find the razor

blade with the cookie. Okay. And here's
how we're going to do it.

Right now, I want you to go with your
first instinct and point to the cookie

that you feel in your heart is safe. Go
ahead. Point to a cookie.

That one.

That's the one you feel is safe. Yeah,
Annabelle?

Yeah. Watch me really closely. I'm going
to pick up that cookie. Check this out.

It's safe. We're good.

No razor blades.

No razor blades, huh? No. We are safe.

Okay.

We are safe.

We have two more to eliminate,
Annabelle. Remember, you're making the

not me.

Okay.

So with your first instinct, put up your
finger. Any finger?

Good choice.

Point to the first Oreo you feel in your
heart. It's safe, Annabelle. Go.

Got it.

Here we go.

It's good. It's good.

It's good. It's good.

It's good.

Oh, my God.

I'm getting lightheaded. This is so much
sugar. Okay.

Okay. 50 -50 shot, Anvil.

You're making a choice.

Again, not me.

There's a 50 % chance you will get it
right, but there's also a 50 % chance

will get it wrong.

Okay? First instinct. Look at me.

Really focus.

Put your finger above the cookies.

Point to the one you most feel in your
heart is safe. Go.

That one.

You're sure, right, Animo?

You feel good about that choice?

Yeah. Yeah?

Check this out. Here we go.

Guys, please don't misinterpret what I'm
about to do. If this goes wrong, this

is not me trying to hurt myself.

This is me trusting Annabelle right
here, okay?

Here we go.

Annabelle?

We were so quick to do it in the
beginning. Here we go.

No robots.

Holy sakes, that means the cookie that
you did not think you lost, the cookie

that you literally avoided the entire
time, is that razor blade, Annabelle.

Everybody, give Annabelle a big hand.

Next. the amazing card wizardry of Chute
Ogawa.

Don't look away during this next trick,
or you might miss it.

Here's Chute Ogawa.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This is really close -up magic, so
hopefully you enjoy it. And your name

Jonathan. Jonathan and?

Fran. Fran? Okay, good. Fran, thank you
so much. Well, I have a deco card here.

I mean, I don't have to show the back of
the card. I use the whole deco card

here, and I shuffle cards like that way.
So now, Jonathan, I need your help

first. Could you hold this for me?

So I want you to sign some of the cards.
For example, this one is great because

a lot of white space here. So could you
sign here?

Very good.

Is that your signature?

Yeah. It's quite simple. I can do that.
Okay.

Could you pass this pen to Fran?

Fran? Okay.

Remember your signature. Just in case.
Okay. One more time. I need your help.

So, Fran, I want you to sign another
card here. For example, this one. How is

that? Here we go.

Perfect. It's exactly your sign, right?

Yes. Perfect.

I cannot do this one.

So, all right. I use these two cards
here. So, you remember your signature,

yeah? And also, you remember your
signature, yeah?

So I have these two cards here. So now I
need your right hand, and I need your

right hand as well. Palm up. Very good.
Okay. And palm down. So I put these two

cards on your hand like this way, and I
put your hand like that way. And make a

little moment.

I think it worked.

Hopefully. Could you move your hand
away? Very good. Okay.

Very good. So now it becomes one card.

It was two, right? Now it's only one.

And then this is your pincer, yes?

And maybe... Yeah.

That's my signature.

Right? It's great.

It's the one. I know. I know. I'm pretty
good.

No, be humble, Japanese guy. All right.
So I want to give you this.

All right. How about I give you half of
them so you can keep this as souvenir so

you have a signature both of you. So
this is for you. This is for me. Thank

for your applause.

And I'm very happy. You're happy.

I'm happy.

Very good. Thank you so much. Yes, this
is for you. Thank you so much.

The amazing, astounding, incredible
masters of illusion.

Thank you for watching, and don't forget
to join us next time. Until then, I'm

Dean Cain, and good night, everyone.

Astounding!
