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.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the most magical show on television.

Now, just as a magician's axe can seem like a bit of trickery to the untrained

eye, scientific discoveries can seem unfathomable to those who don't

the process behind them. So we have created a... I heard something back

Alexandra Duvivier!

How are you?

I'm pretty great, and I have something very special for you, Mr. Kane. Okay. I

have some holiday papers, but it's a camouflage outfit, because if you want

real holiday papers, you just need to shake, Mr. Kane. Because if you do shake

properly, you can have some real, I mean real holiday papers.

Okay.

Ciao. Ciao.

Au revoir.

It's time to... add some laughter to our magical evening with this illusionist.

He's a funny man, but has serious magic skills, and he's guaranteed to put a

smile on your face.

Please welcome Farrell Dillon.

Everybody here is going to get a deck of cards. You're going to get a deck of

cards. You'll get a deck.

Yep. This is for you, young lady. This one's for you. This one is for you. Hold

on to that for a second.

All right, I'm going to use yours to demonstrate to everybody. So take your

cards out of the box.

Good. Throw the box on the ground. We don't need that anymore. I want you to

look at your card.

Go ahead.

Stand them in front of your face. Look at all of them.

Right then, you're going to shuffle your card.

You don't have to take note of all of them. Just make sure they're all

different, all right? Yeah, no problem.

All right, and then shuffle them however you want. Good.

You can ripple shuffle them. You can do whatever that is. Yeah, that's fine.

Just shuffle them like upside down and stuff. That's fine. Oh good. Look at

You're doing the belly method. That's classic.

Let's see here. We've got whatever that is. Good. And you're doing a good job

too. We're going to make this card trick more difficult. So we're going to take

all the cards, shuffle them together. Now look, here's the thing. It's really

hard to shuffle five decks of cards. You guys are having a hard time shuffling

one. So we're going to take all these cards and we're going to throw them into

bag. Here, you throw yours in.

Good. Throw your cards in. Good. Throw yours in.

Good. Throw yours in. Good. And then we're going to shuffle them all up

this bag.

The best way to shuffle five decks of cards. Now we have to pick cards, right?

Because that's how the card trick works. You're going to reach inside this bag

in a second, all right? I don't want you to show anybody the cards. You're going

to hold it against your chest, all right? And I want you to look at it

We'll get back to that in a second, okay? So when you reach in.

All I want you to do is either close your eyes or stare into mine, whichever

find less creepy, okay?

Reach in this bag, pull out a card. You got it?

Okay, go for it.

All right, I just want you to remember that this is what you decided was less

creepy.

Go for it.

Yeah, I didn't think so. All right, yeah.

But I like how you close your eyes and then stare into mine, like through your

eyelids, like you have x -ray vision. That's wonderful. Hey, young lady,

close your eyes or stare into mine.

Good choice.

Don't show them, but keep your eyes closed, all right? Oh, no, no. Actually,

you can open them. All right, it's over. Yeah, there you go.

There you go.

I had a feeling about you.

Okay, the eyebrow thing was a little much, but I appreciate you.

All right, and last but not least, go ahead.

Okay, cool. I didn't think you were going to do either of the things that I

asked, but you got one.

All right, so look.

Five decks of cards all shuffled together.

You guys looked at them. You shuffled them beforehand.

All right, we're going to start with you.

Show everybody what card you got. Eight of diamonds.

All right, cool. You got one as well, right?

Show them.

Eight of diamonds.

Okay, so that happens sometimes. Sometimes people get the same card

there's five decks. What card did you get?

Eight of diamonds.

All right, that's a little weird.

Show them. Eight of diamonds.

Eight of diamonds.

And you two?

Thank you, guys. You can keep those. See you guys later.

This magician you're about to see is not just any magician.

He's an illusionist who's known for pushing the limits of what's possible.

So please welcome to the stage the incredible Noah Stoney.

Thank you all so much.

Tonight, I want to show you something a little bit different. But in order to do

that, I need somebody to help out.

What's your name? Emma. Emma, will you join me up here on stage? There's going

to be a huge round of applause.

And then, Emma, will you take both your hands and hold them face down just like

this? And then make two fists just like this.

And then, Emma, I just want you to mirror me. Bring one of those hands

And then bring this hand right up to your chest.

And then turn so that everybody can see you. Good.

Now, Emma, do you believe in voodoo at all?

Yeah. Okay.

We're going to try a little bit tonight.

So I've got a lighter here. You're not afraid of fire, are you?

No. Okay.

I'm going to stand over here, but then I'm going to take that fire, and I'm

going to bring that lighter just a little bit closer to the palm of my

And in your hand that you're squeezing into a fist right now, I just want you

focus, and I want you to imagine you can almost start to feel a little bit of

heat starting right in the palm of that hand as I bring that lighter closer to

mine.

Just focus on the feeling of a little bit of heat starting in the palm of that

hand.

Honestly, Emma, yes or no, do you feel your hand getting just a little bit

warmer? A little bit, yeah.

Here's the thing, though. If I bring the lighter closer to my hand, you should

be able to feel that fire even more.

To the point where if I start to squeeze my hand,

you can all see there's no marks, no burns, no scorches.

But Emma, will you bring your hand down?

And take a look inside of it.

Show it to everybody.

Next,

laughs and the unbelievable talent of Alex Ramone. When we return.

It's not just something you watch, it's something you experience.

And this performer is going to make sure you experience it to the fullest with

an interactive trick that will have you gasping in amazement. Please welcome to

the stage, Alex Ramone.

Hello, everyone.

All right, this is magic for everyone.

You can do it yourself right there, sitting in the seats in the theater, and

also right at home.

Everybody, put your right hand out in front of you. Like this, right hand up,

right hand up. Everybody, everybody, everybody. Even at home, even at home,

that right hand up. Put your palm facing you.

You guys look ridiculous.

But you're doing it, but you're doing it. Okay, right hand palm facing you. It

should look something like this.

Ooh.

Keep that right palm facing you and with your left index finger, I want you to

point to your pinky.

Now, we're all going to make a series of decisions, choices, and each and every

decision is going to be your choice.

Okay? All of you make a different choice. All of you make a different

But here's what's going to happen. You're going to make a series of moves.

move is moving from one finger to the other finger next to the one you're on.

if I said move twice, you would go one, two. Or you could go one, two.

It doesn't matter. It's your choice.

Everyone's going to make a different decision, even you at home.

So, right hand, palm facing you, index finger, begin on your pinky.

And you're going to make five moves, all your choice.

And even though the thumb is something different, you can still move on to the

thumb, okay?

All right, here it goes. Make five moves starting now.

One, two, three, four, and five.

Now, if you look around, there are people on different fingers. They've

their own different choices.

And I'm going to make a little bit of a guess here.

I'm going to guess that you guys are not on your thumb or your pinky finger.

So we're going to eliminate those, curl those fingers in, and now your moves are

going to be constricted to just the remaining three fingers.

It should look like this.

And now.

You're going to make one move.

Make it now.

Again, all your own decision. Even at home, I have an idea and a thought that

you are not on your ring finger.

Curl that ring finger in.

You have two fingers remaining, and you're going to make one final move.

Make it now.

Now, look, there's a 50 -50 chance right now. Things can go horribly wrong or

horribly right. But you know what?

Curl in your middle finger because you are on your index finger. If you're on

your index finger, give yourself a kiss.

The impossible is easy for the masterful manipulations of Nathan Fan.

Now for a magician who's known for his unique style and flair. And he's here to

show you what he's made of. Please welcome Nathan Fan.

Thank you so much, everyone.

I'm here with my new friend. What's your name? My name is Sarah. Hello, Sarah.

Lovely to meet you. Okay. Sarah, I have here some very special cards that I

totally didn't make 30 minutes ago. And each one has a different name of a fruit

on it. So, watch this here. I've got cherry, watermelon, cantaloupe.

there's about a dozen different fruits. I've written them in different colors.

I'm going to give these a shuffle.

All right? In a moment, you're just going to select any one of these that

like. So, reach out, touch any card you want.

This one right here. Specifically this one. All right. You're sure?

All right, take the card.

All right, so everyone don't let me see it.

And tell me when it's safe to open my eyes.

Okay,

excellent. Put the card back.

All right, we're going to lose it inside the packet. That way I can't peek or

cheat. Fantastic. Now, what if I told you that just over here, underneath my

lovely teal handkerchief, is a magic bush that can grow whatever fruit it is

that you selected?

That would be pretty cool, right?

Yes? Okay.

Let's see here.

We're going to check it out. This is the magic bush. And in a moment, it is

going to grow your fruit. We've got to wait for spring first, though. Oh, here

we go. Yes, look at the flowers.

They're blooming.

Amazing. Incredible. Let's get a little foliage out of the way so you can see

how beautiful it is. Yes.

Incredible. Let's see now if we can get a little bit of the fruit in the field.

Let's see. Come on. There we go.

There's one of them right there.

Yes. Oh, there it is.

We have an orange.

Yes, let's see. Can we get another orange? Let's see. Here comes another

Two oranges.

Ah, ah, ah.

Let's see if we can get one more.

Because three is the lucky number. Bing! Right over there.

Three oranges.

Yes, there it is. For the first time out loud, which fruit did you pick?

Apples.

I didn't force you to the right card. That's fine. No, no, no. No, this is

This is fine. Because apples and...

Oranges are basically the same thing. That's why we're constantly comparing

apples to oranges, right?

Actually, I told you this is a magic bush, right?

It is indeed a magic bush because I want you to... That's a real orange. You can

feel that. It's a real orange, right?

It's a real magic orange is what it is because watch. If I cut into the... Do

you hear that?

Yeah. There's something inside this orange. Watch. If I cut into this

inside it,

He's like, oh boy, I gotta really cut this sucker open. Oh, look at that.

it goes. Yes, there's the zesting. Where's the bartender? He's zesting for

old fat. There we go. Take that.

Is that a real apple? Yes, here. In fact, I want you to see. Look, every

one of these oranges has an apple. Here's another apple for you. And let's

this one right here. Also has an apple. I'll do this without cutting myself.

Open, yes.

There it is.

Lovely Kayla apples for you. Enjoy your apples!

Come back and bust everybody!

when we return with the amazing card wizardry of Nick Douglas. Next.

Buckle up for an unforgettable performance from an illusionist who is

their outrageous and eccentric tricks. The one and only Nick Douglas.

More than I'm used to.

Okay. How we doing? Everybody good?

We're doing this amazing trick that nobody ever does. Just one where you

card and I find it. Okay, let's get a card first. What is your name of that?

Jackie. Jackie. All right, Jackie. I'm going to see if you can say stop

you want.

Stop. Perfect. Okay, right here. All right, we're going to take a look at the

card. Are you okay with this card? Yeah. Okay, good. All right, so obviously

we've got to stick to heart. We're going to find the stick to heart.

Headline. All right, so what happens is we put the card in their face down.

There's a lot of different ways we can do this.

Okay, we've got to distinguish these cards. What I like to do is I like to

the joker, put it on top. It looks... Like the deck is face up, but it's not.

Until you snap your fingers.

Now all the cards do end up face up, except for one card, of course, which,

guess what that card is? Six of hearts. Six of hearts, absolutely. We found the

six of hearts. Nice and easy.

Second way, of course, but if they're all faced in the same way, it's a little

more difficult. So if we put it in face -up with the rest of the cards, just

like so, it's harder to find. We can't do the face -up thing. But then all we

is snap our fingers again, and then we can turn all those cards red. We turn

those cards red, except for one card, which is the blue card, of course.

Obviously, it's your one card.

Now, of course, if that one doesn't work, if that one doesn't work at all,

we've got to do, there's just one more thing we can do.

We just give it two snaps.

That's if nothing else works. Nothing else works, but two snaps does. It

actually erases the entire deck.

except for, guess what, one heart, your card, the six of hearts. And that's how

we'll find it.

Magic

is

all about connecting people and bonding through witnessing the impossible.

This mentalist plans to do exactly that. Ladies and gentlemen, Wayne Hoffman.

Things are about to get a little strange.

First and foremost, you don't know each other, I presume, since you're seated.

It would be weird if you were seated opposite ends and you were best friends.

You've never met before?

And I don't know you personally. We don't hang out on weekends.

I know nothing about you, correct?

You look glad of that fact, too. But most importantly, you don't know each

other's phone numbers. I don't know your phone numbers. And we're technically

strangers.

For now.

First and foremost, if you don't mind, if you can, make sure your phone has

battery and that you have signal and that you can receive a phone call and

rid of all those notifications, dating apps, yeah, stuff like that.

You good?

No dating apps for you? All right, all right. So what I'd like both of you to

is take your phones, turn the screen off.

just so it's off, and turn it, make sure it's on ring, so that if it were to

ring, we would be able to hear it. However, you need to do that on your

don't know what type of phones you have.

And just then place your phone right here on the table. Now, I don't want to

touch them, but move them just a little closer. Yep, right about there.

I want you, it's Logan, yeah? Logan, I want you to stare at her phone, and

Camille, I want you to stare at his phone.

Right now, oh, you got a notification already.

What's his name?

So you can turn that off. I don't know what to do. Yeah, turn it off, turn it

off. I don't know. So you got some, you know, this is part of the fun, right? We

don't know when.

Okay, very good. So you stare at her phone, and you stare at his phone, and

we're going to see if we can get something strange to happen.

Stare at each other's phones now.

Let me ask you a question. Camille, look at his phone. You can hear it ring. Is

that your phone number?

So your phone is calling his phone. Is that right?

And that's your phone number.

But you don't know each other.

But it's ringing.

You can silence that. So Camille, you were able to send a vibe to make his

ring. But yet you've never met.

You don't know her. You don't have her phone number. And obviously, I couldn't

have your phone number, but I'm going to try something else.

Camille, I want you to think of your phone number and concentrate on it in

your mind.

Now, it's interesting because here, here, here,

here, here, here,

something like this.

I'm getting a number from you. First of all, the number 15 is coming across.

Did something happen to you 15 years ago that's something life -changing or

major or no?

She's thinking.

Yes. Yes? What happened?

Around that time? No?

Wait, yeah. I met my husband.

Oh, you met your husband. Okay. All right. She's thinking. She's like, what

was that if I do the math?

Now, here's the thing.

If I can, now, I'm going to, can you open that up? Actually, go to your

Now, I'm going to see something here.

Phone? Okay.

Now, let's see if this works.

Yeah?

And that's your number calling her.

I just wanted to set you guys up. So if you ever want to chat later, it's a live

dating app. And ladies and gentlemen, that's the power of the mind. Let's give

these two a big round of applause.

From all of us here at Masters of Illusion, we want to thank you for

tonight. It was a night of wonder and amazement.

Until we meet again.

Keep the magic alive. I'm Dean Cain, and we'll see you then.
