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 Payne and welcome to
Masters of Illusion.

Now, hosting this show, a lot of people
come up to me on the street or anywhere

and they say, hey, you know.

How does this happen? How do you do this
magic trick? Can you do magic? And I

always tell them the same thing. I have
no idea, and I cannot do any magic

whatsoever.

He looks stressed. I was thinking about
you on the flight out here. In the

magazine on the plane, it talked about
to de -stress, you need water and a

massage. Okay. Now, I'm not going to
give you a massage, but I got some

And I got to thinking about the fact
that the human body is like 60 % water.

And if someone's going to get a massage
with water to de -stress, can you

massage water?

Can you massage water? Work with me on
this. Can you massage water to relax

water? I like the idea that if you get
it to relax, in theory with the massage,

you can massage the water to relax and
release.

It's so not tense. It's just there.

It's not tense.

No, it's not. If you can add tension.
Ah!

Tension makes it like it does the thing.

Tension's bad. You need more water. More
water. Drink water and you'll be fine.

Thank you. Good luck.

No massage.

No, just water.

I always look forward to this next
performer. I cannot wait to see what

have in store.

Here's Alex Ramon.

Thank you guys so much. I am joined on
stage. Your name is? Aubrey. Hi, Aubrey.

Thanks for being here.

Aubrey, I'm going to show you and all of
you an illusion with the newest

technology and the oldest technology at
the same time. First, the newest

technology. Aubrey, I need your cell
phone.

Okay.

Do you trust me?

I guess so. Brand new. Brand new. You
have insurance?

I do. That's good. Important.

All right. The newest cell phone right
here. I have microfiber cloth.

Wipe off your screen. Make sure it's
really clean for you, okay?

There you go. Better?

Yeah. You're welcome. So your cell phone
in this nice pink case goes inside

of the microfiber cloth.

You are in charge of your phone.

Hold it just like that.

All right?

Smile at everybody.

Great. And now the oldest technology.

Aubrey, have you ever seen the very
first cell phone ever made?

No. You guys know what I'm talking
about?

That's right.

The brick.

The brick. Absolutely right.

That's the first cell phone ever made.

You guys.

Anyone under 30 has no idea what I'm
talking about.

This is the brick. And it's going to go
inside of a protective case.

Paper bag.

Aubrey, anything inside the bag?

Nothing inside the bag. The brick goes
inside the

protective case.

And now for the magic.

The two phones will now switch places.
This is very difficult.

Very difficult.

Ready?

That's it.

Let me check.

Oh my gosh, you won't believe it. Your
cell phone's in here and the brick is

right there, isn't it?

Just go with it. Yeah? Oh my gosh,
that's crazy. Impossible.

Hard part.

They're going to go back.

Now check this out.

Aubrey, inside of the microfiber cloth
is, of course, your phone in the pink

case. Is that your phone?

Thank you very much.

All right, look.

It happened too fast. It happened too
fast.

So, I'll show you what happened in slow
motion.

Your cell phone flew into the paper bag.

And the brick flew inside of the cloth.

It just happened so fast that you
didn't... Totally.

My eye didn't see it.

Nobody believes me. Okay, here, look.

Hold your hand out.

You can feel the brick right here. You
feel the brick.

On the count of three, you say go.
Ready.

One, two, three.

Go.

Hold your hand out.

Huh. Show everybody what you have. I
have my phone.

Your phone. And inside of...

The paper bag is the drink.

Okay, wow.

I think it's safe to say that magic is a
form of entertainment that is almost

always family friendly.

Almost always.

Because there's always an exception.

And here he is, Jeff Hobson.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

You know, ladies and gentlemen, I've
always wanted to know what it would be

to be able to read somebody's mind.

I bet you I can tell you what you're
thinking, Robert, even though you just

from the audience, we've never met
before.

If I actually had you think of a word
and I knew what word you're thinking of,

that would be impressive, wouldn't it?
Yes. I can't do it. That would be good,

wouldn't it? Yes, yes, yes.

Like, for instance, different words,
like, for instance, like three, four,

five -letter action words. I've got
these little words on cards here. These

my flashcards.

You see, if you were to think of one of
these, this is much easier to be able to

read your mind because they're action
words, you see. You understand what I'm

saying, right? Yes. Good. Okay, so with
that hand, take one of the cards, hold

it up against your chest. Don't show me.
Don't show anyone.

Just one card up against your chest.
Don't show. You got one card? Yes. Yes.

Good for you. Good. Now take a little
peek at it. Make sure you know what the

card is.

Do you know what it is? Yes. The word on
the card is yes. Wonderful. Good. Okay.

Now, just look that way. Look toward
that. Oh, yes, yes. Oh, I think I'm

it now. Yes, yes.

E -A -O -E -I -E -I -O.

I'm having a vowel movement. Wait.

Is there a vowel in your word?

Yes. Yes.

Shut up.

Yes, there is. And I think it's actually
an E. Is that correct?

Correct. And it's a shorter word, isn't
it? It's a three -letter word. Yes? Yes.

I know. Oh, I'm so good at this. This is
great. I think I have the word that you

are now thinking of. That is perfect.
You have not seen this word, but I am

committed. You're committed.

Let's do this.

Okay. Are you ready?

Think of the word. Think of the word.
Oh, yes, yes. Oh, oh, is this?

Is this a word that you know, yes or no?

Yes. Yes. Is this a word that you do?

Yes. Yes. And when you do this word, do
you like doing the word?

I sure do, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you done the word
recently?

Yes, this morning.

Really? Have you done it more than once
today?

Actually, yes.

Good, good. Good for you.

And is this something you normally do
with other people?

Yeah, sometimes I do with other people.
Yeah, give or do the loan.

Probably more often.

Never mind.

But amazing. Let me just find out. I
think I have it. I think I have it. Let

take a look at the card. Let me take a
look at the card. I think I have it. Is

the word the word is? Yes, it is. It is.
It is. Eat.

And that's just what I was thinking.

There you go. See? Wonderful.

Excellent. Thank you very much. Love
reading your mind. Thank you very much.

Bye.

Amazing is the only way to describe Eric
Buss. No.

Magic is an ever -evolving process. I
cannot imagine the number of times this

next illusionist has had to clean this
up.

This is Eric Buss.

Thank you so much. Excellent.

Thank you so much. My name is Eric
Spahr.

Let's see here.

Sir, would you like a peanut?

Ah! I love that gag.

Apparently I'm the only one.

You know, snakes from peanut cans and
classical music.

There's two things you don't see
combined very often.

Until now.

This isn't magic, but it is magical. I
hope you enjoy my spring snake.

It took me three hours to get ready.

Have you ever had trouble making
decisions like where to go for vacation?

This next magician has a way to make
that process a little easier, or at

little more fun.

Here is Trino.

Thank you all so much. Thanks for being
here today.

I have a lovely assistant from the
audience today, and your name is?

Alicia, great to meet you. Thank you so
much for volunteering.

Alicia, you can travel anywhere in the
entire world right now.

I want you to think about it. Don't say
it out loud, but think of a city you

would want to travel to.

You got something?

Yeah. All right. I want you to think
about that. I'll ask you in a little

But first, a little bit of artwork.

All right, Alicia, what city would you
like to go to?

New York City. New York City.

And what would you like to see in New
York City?

The Statue of Liberty.

The Statue of Liberty.

When we come back, the wild and mind
-bending deception of Paige Thompson.

Stay focused, or you'll never understand
how this next performer does this

trick.

Actually, you're never going to figure
it out anyway.

Here's Paige Thompson.

I am going to share some new magic with
you that was inspired by something very

random.

My fingernails.

I know. Sounds weird.

Just go with it.

Nick, could you let me borrow your ring
just for a moment?

No. Greg Gleason.

Don't blink.

You'll miss the next trip from none
other than Greg Gleason.

Thank you very much. We have a special
guest from the audience. What's your

name? Katie. Katie, thanks for helping
out. I noticed you have a very lovely

ring.

Yes. Is there any meaning to that ring?

Well, I just got engaged. You did?

You just got engaged.

How about that? Congratulations.

Would you let me borrow your ring just
for a moment?

Um, no.

Come on. It's a magic show.

Okay, fine. Okay. Go ahead and just, if
you would, I have a ring box. If you can

just place it in there. Perfect.

And you know what? We'll keep that very
safe inside.

And if you would, just go ahead and hold
on to that ring box.

Perfect. And if anything happens, do not
worry, because down inside my pocket, I

have insurance policy.

If anything happens to your ring, it's
insured for 25 big ones.

25 big ones.

Is it worth more than that?

Don't worry. You know what? I'm going to
take this, and I don't think we'll need

it at all. If you hold that ring box out
in your right hand, I'm going to say a

magic spell.

A master magician at the helm takes us
away into a realm of miracles and

where illusions become reality.

Welcome to the world of magic.

Check it out, Sadie.

Your ring has vanished and reappears
right back on your finger.

Oh, that would have been a great trick.

Don't worry, Sadie, don't worry. Because
I have...

The insurance policy. There you go.

25 big ones. 25 big ones.

Yep. But you know what? You can use that
insurance policy right now. If you'll

just step right over here, I have a
gumball machine.

And if you would, just put that quarter
right inside of that gumball machine.

And give it a twist.

Give it a spin.

And what do you have?

What did you win?

Quarter. A quarter.

Another quarter.

You know what you're going to do with
that quarter, Sadie?

What? I'm going to give it to you. Go
ahead and take this quarter and just

it into that gumball machine.

I think this one might be your lucky
quarter. Go ahead and spin that.

Open that up.

What's inside there?

Check it out. Can you get that open?
What's inside there?

Ladies and gentlemen, that's her
engagement ring right there. How about a

hand for Sadie? Thank you very much for
trusting me with your engagement ring.

Thank you.

The amazing, astounding, incredible
masters of illusion.

I'm Dean Cain, and good night, everyone.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Want to talk to me?

Sounds weird.

Just go with it.

Good for you.

Check it out, baby.

Ah!

Tension makes it like it does the thing.

Tension's bad. You need more water. More
water. Drink water and you'll be fine.

Thank you.
