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.

From sleight of hand to grand illusion, we've got it all tonight. I'm Dean Cain,

and welcome to Masters of Illusion.

I feel like magic is similar to a painting. The magician uses props and

of hand to create... Steve, I found a card backstage.

Name any card you want. Name it, name it. Hold on a second. We're about to

the whole... Adam, why do you... We're doing the whole open of the show. Yeah,

but this is really cool. Name a card.

Nine of spades. No, five of hearts.

You know what? Let's do this. If you guys concentrate on that five, you might

able to see all of the pips move to maybe then it looks like a nine. Dean,

shake it, it looks like his nine of spades.

Whoa.

Adam Wiley, I'm going to bring him from Vegas with me right now. Wait, I'm going

to go pass. Good deal. Adam Wiley, ladies and gentlemen.

Normally, this magician packs pretty light. But today, I hope he has someone

else to help him with his luggage.

I love you, buddy, but it's not going to be me. No chance in the world. Here is

the always hilarious Ed Alonso.

You gotta die.

Next, the wild and mind -bending deception of Joel Warden.

This magician possesses unpanny abilities that will leave you scratching

head and wondering, how does he do that? Ladies and gentlemen, Joel Warden.

Hey, guys. My name is... I'm Joel, and I specialize in close -up magic. And the

reason I love close -up magic is because I get to know people.

And right now, I'd like to get to know some of you. So we're going to do that

using this pack of playing cards.

When we come back, an impossible prediction by Wayne Hoffman.

All right.

Now we have a true master of mentalism with an affinity for flame and feats

previously deemed impossible.

Here's the one and only Wayne Hoffman.

So, do you feel lucky?

I believe that sometimes luck plays a major role in our lives. And tonight,

of you are going to find out. So for this, I need two adventurous people. So

you want to volunteer, raise your hand. Who's in?

You have to be excited.

You look excited. How about you? Come on up. And right here in the yellowish

green. Yeah, come on up. Let's give them a round of applause.

Follow me. Come on over here.

Welcome. And you are? Sam.

Sam and?

Anastasia. Anastasia, nice.

Nice to meet you. So here's the idea. Behind me are four doors, moving from

to right, number one, two, three, and four. In a moment, you're going to be

going behind one of those doors, and you're going to be choosing which one

want. So it's going to be up to you, and afterward, his life is in your hands.

No way.

So, let's get to it. We're going to bring out some assistants who are going

block the doors so that we don't know which one you go behind. I want you to

walk behind the curtain, behind the doors, choose one, stand there, and stay

still. Now, obviously, I'm not going to know where he is, neither are you, and

our viewers at home won't know either. Sam, once you're in position, our

assistants are going to lower the cloth and remove it.

Now, Sam's behind one of these doors.

Anastasia.

I have four playing cards, okay? We have the eight, the two, the three,

and the four.

Each one of the numbers represents one of the doors.

I'm going to mix the cards up here. Yell stop as I drop them on the table. Now,

do you feel lucky?

I am lucky, but I'm not sure about that.

You're not sure about that?

Fair enough. Well, here's the deal. As I drop the cards, you yell stop.

Stop. Okay. Now, do you want this one or this one? This one. Are you sure?

100%. All right. Let's see what she got.

Door number four.

Door number four is the one we're going to destroy.

Anastasia, number one, perfect.

So now we're going to do round two. This time we're going to have you roll a die

on the table. Now the remaining doors are number one, two, and three. You're

going to roll this die until you get a one, a two, or a three. And whichever

you roll, I'm going to shoot. Take the die and roll it.

Two. All right.

Good luck, Sam.

It's showtime.

two doors left.

Now, for this last one, it's going to be a coin toss.

Now, we're going to mark these doors. This one heads and this one tails.

And you're going to spin this coin on the table.

Now, you can see this will be tails. This side, this will be heads. And

whichever one lands face up when you spin this coin, I'm going to shoot.

So take the coin.

And whenever you're ready, give it a spin.

What do we got?

Heads. Heads it is.

It's showtime.

As the curtains close on another amazing night of magic, or light walls, because

we don't really have curtains. Either way, thank you so much for being part of

the magic, and we hope to see you again soon.

Until then, I'm Dean Cain. Thank you.
