Original subtitles

(explosion)

- 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.

(explosion) (audience cheering)

(dramatic music)

(audience cheering)

Tonight, your sense of reality will be put to the test.

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

(audience cheering)

Now magic is a blend of art and mystery,

a way to suspend disbelief and embrace the impossible.

Every single illusion and every story leaves us wondering

how it's done.

That is the thrill of this show,

and I'm very excited to share it with you.

So let's see.

Yep, Eric Jones, ladies and gentlemen.

(audience clapping)

How are you, Eric? - How are you, man?

- Always good to see you.

- Good to see you. - One of my favorites.

- So I wanna show you something

that's absolutely impossible with a deck of playing cards.

- Okay.

- Sit, stay.

- Do I, should I get it or not get it?

- It's trained.

(audience laughing)

Now I want you to see that each and every one of the cards

that I am holding, they are all different.

That might bother you later.

Would you mind reaching in, take out any card

out of the deck that you want?

- [Dean] I'm gonna take this one right here.

- Awesome.

Take a look at it and tell me, do you like that one

or would you like to exchange it for one of these?

- I like this one.

- To make this one even more valuable,

go ahead, put your signature right there.

- Really?

All right.

- Yeah, that's just for me.

I'm gonna take your card back.

You can go ahead and cap the pen.

I'm gonna take your card.

I'm gonna place it about halfway down

from the top of the pack, more or less.

Right about there.

Here's what's gonna happen, Dean.

What I'd like you to do is take your index finger

and push it right there on the center of the deck.

- Right there? - Yeah, and push down

and hold it just like that. - Okay.

- What's gonna happen is this,

I want you to think about your card.

- Got it.

- Send the thoughts of your card down your bicep,

down the forearm, down the fingers.

And as you think about the card,

slowly release pressure on the deck.

And you'll notice the cards slowly start to cut themselves.

- Yeah, that doesn't look right.

- [Eric] It's kind of crazy.

- [Dean] Yeah, it is kind of crazy.

- The best thing happens when I take my finger

and touch here, watch.

One card comes flying out of the deck.

I wonder what it could be.

- If it has my signature on it, I'm gonna freak out.

(audience laughing)

And it does.

(audience cheering)

And I'm standing right here.

- (laughing) Awesome, guys.

- Eric Jones, ladies and gentlemen.

(audience clapping)

Well, let's see what other wonders await us tonight.

(audience cheering)

Okay, get ready to witness the performance

that combines skill, elegance, and a touch of mystery.

Our next magician is renowned for his engaging

and innovative approach to magic, making every single show

a unique experience.

Please give it up for the phenomenal Adam Wylie.

(audience cheering) (funky music)

- Thank you so much.

I'm here with Sophia.

Sophia, I need you to grab one of those, please.

Anyone you'd like, anyone you'd like.

Sorry, it's an invisible coin.

- Oh.

- Go ahead and grab the invisible.

Yeah, I know, it was weird.

Go ahead and grab one.

Yes, pull it out.

Yes, lots of invisible.

There's three more, in fact.

Do you see that?

It's perfect.

(audience laughing)

Yeah, go ahead, put it, bury it deep in there.

Thank you so much.

That way they all can be together.

That would be really, really nice.

I appreciate you.

Now Sophia, I need you to do me a giant favor.

Could you please make sure that these aren't chocolate?

- [Sophia] Okay, okay.

I'll check them. - Thank you so much.

That is the official way to make sure.

I appreciate.

Thank you so much.

- Great collection. - I appreciate that.

It's actually the last year they made them

a little bit silver too, which is pretty nice, yeah.

Go ahead and grab these four coins,

and I'm gonna put them all in a line.

Now the object here is for all the coins to move

from one side of the table to the other.

Okay?

One at a time.

Watch, four here, none here.

That is one here and three here.

We're gonna do it again.

We have three over to the right.

Yeah, you gotta watch this time.

Go ahead, right here.

All right?

Three and one, and that's two and two.

And that's even.

- Do it again.

- Yeah, I'll do it slow, very slow.

Ready? - Okay.

(Adam speaking in slow motion)

- Did you see that one?

I don't know. 'cause it never went.

- That's what.

Okay.

- We're gonna do it again, that way we have three and one.

Does that make sense?

Of course not.

I'm gonna go ahead and have

these four coins right here just like.

Oh, does everybody know?

Oh, could you hold out your hands like this?

Just like this.

And I want one to be like that.

Perfect.

Does anybody know the difference

between an invisible coin and a visible coin?

I'm gonna tell you right now.

One you can see, and one you cannot.

(audience laughing)

Very important.

I'm gonna go ahead and put that invisible coin

inside your hand.

Go ahead and close your hand.

Okay?

Did you feel it turn visible?

- I don't know.

Maybe?

(audience laughing)

- Maybe's good enough for me.

Open your hands.

I see it, no.

- Show everybody.

- It's nothing.

- Sometimes magic doesn't work.

(audience laughing)

But in this case, it did.

Yeah.

See when a coin turns visible, it actually gains mass.

It goes through hands as it gets heavier,

and it probably got caught

on something, like under your watch.

(upbeat music)

(audience gasping)

Crazy, nuts.

(audience clapping)

Yeah, I'm surprised you actually didn't see that

'cause that one was very, very big.

I'm totally just kidding; it's a very, very small coin.

Could you go ahead and hold of this?

And I want you to just initial the coin like the this.

- [Sophia] Okay.

Okay, it's on the face.

- Yes, just on the face.

Very good, okay.

And make sure that that cannot rub off.

Can that rub off at all?

Isn't just a-

- [Sophia] It's there.

- Okay, fantastic, good.

Watch, coins, crazy, sleeves up.

That's my favorite part.

(upbeat music)

Gone.

(audience clapping)

Thank you.

Now, of course, you may absolutely wonder

where this coin goes.

Inside my back pocket, I have a wallet.

Inside my wallet..

Is one coin.

- [Sophia] Yes, there is a coin.

- [Adam] Go ahead.

- And it has my initials.

(audience clapping)

- Crazy.

(audience cheering)

And that really can't come off?

- No.

I'm really trying here.

- [Adam] Nuts.

- Okay, faded a little

'cause I've really put some pressure on it.

- Yeah, you have.

Thank you so much.

(audience clapping)

- Okay, prepare to be entertained by a magician

whose style is as lighthearted as it is mind blowing.

With a mix of comedy, sleight of hand,

and a larger-than-life personality,

he's been a standout performer on both television

and live stages.

Let's give a warm welcome to the incredible Farrell Dillon.

(audience cheering)

- Hey!

Thank you, I deserve it.

Anyways, so look, all magicians have

their favorite magic trick.

This next one is my favorite trick.

I call it the two-ball trick.

(audience laughing)

Wait, no, that's not what you're thinking.

Dude, all right?

But the two-ball trick is very simple to follow.

One ball will teleport like magic

from one hand to the other.

(audience clapping)

Now over the centuries, very few people have

actually perfected the art of teleportation.

You've got the magicians, the wizards,

and the Scottish crew members of the Starship Enterprise.

(audience laughing)

That's teleportation.

Now some of you may have figured out how this works by now.

You might think that I have three balls,

but that would be a medical miracle.

(audience laughing)

Yeah, that's a stupid joke, all right?

I really do have three balls.

One of them I usually keep invisible.

It flies through the air

and lands inside this box.

That's three balls.

Actually, I lied, there's a fourth ball.

The fourth one, I keep in my hair.

But you gotta be careful with this one

because you don't want to get hairy.

That's four balls.

(audience laughing)

That's one, that's two,

that's three, that's four balls.

(audience clapping)

Yeah.

That's three more than normal.

(audience laughing)

Oh yeah, no, it takes lots of balls to do this trick,

so we might be here a while.

And although it's not my favorite

and I find it rather uncomfortable, my pink balls can

also become blue or pink or blue or pink and blue.

(audience clapping)

(audience laughing)

Woo. (laughing)

(audience laughing)

All right, here, you dude in the front.

Yeah, you, yeah.

Would you like to touch my balls?

Yeah, here, take 'em.

No, yeah.

No, really?

Yeah, nobody's ever said yes.

Yeah, here, take 'em before I change my mind.

Good, yeah, examine 'em.

Make sure they are what I say they are, just solid balls.

- Solid. - Good, squeeze 'em.

(grunting) That's perfect.

(audience laughing)

Now, did they squish down at all?

- Not much.

- Are they heavier than you thought they would be?

- Yeah. - But solid balls, right?

- Right, solid.

- Great, I'll take them back from you right here.

Thank you so much for treating them so gently.

(audience laughing)

All right, here we go, last ball.

Last ball, watch.

(energetic music)

(audience clapping)

(audience cheering)

Thank you.

(explosion)

- [Dean] Next, quirky Lucy Darling wants to know

who stole her jam.

- They all look very guilty.

(audience laughing)

- [Dean] Never play cards with Andi Gladwin

in a game he invented.

- Actually even listed on Wikipedia.

It's a legitimate game.

I got it on them myself.

(audience laughing)

- [Dean] Murray SawChuck will have you scratching your head

in more ways than he can count.

- But look, I'm just making sure.

I told you I wasn't good at math, come on now.

It's too much peroxide, people.

- Not seeing is believing

as Dreygon unleashes his invisible hand.

(audience cheering)

Alexandra tries a death-defying escape

only a few have dared to attempt.

(explosion) (audience cheering)

(audience cheering) (explosion)

This performer is known for her wit, charm,

and a magical style that's as glamorous as it is hilarious.

With a touch of vintage Hollywood and

a whole lot of magic,

she has captivated audiences worldwide.

Please welcome the incredible Lucy Darling.

(audience cheering) (upbeat music)

- Believe there is one skill possessed

by the magician that is most coveted,

the ability to look someone dead in the eye

and know whether or not they're lying.

(swing music)

(audience laughing)

I don't know.

(audience laughing)

It's very difficult.

Who here considers themselves to be an honest person?

Woo.

And where are my cunning deceivers?

Ooh, couple of people, very nice.

Darling, are you a bit of a liar?

- Not that bad.

- You could be.

What is the craziest lie you've ever told?

- That I won a million dollars.

- You told someone you won a million dollars?

Was this is a weird first date situation?

(audience laughing)

Yeah.

Did you pick up dinner at least?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, I would hope so.

(audience laughing)

I think we can do a little demonstration.

What do you say, yes?

Do you wanna help me out?

Yes?

And maybe you two, as well?

Come and join me.

Let's give 'em a big round applause

as they come up on stage.

(audience clapping)

You can stand in line right here, yes.

I like how you decided to stand as far away

from me as humanly possible.

(audience laughing)

That's good.

They just don't wanna stand next to the dress.

I understand.

Beautiful people.

What's your name, my love?

- Tammy. - Tammy, of course.

And? - Aiden.

- Aiden and?

- Giovanni.

- Giovanni the liar, and?

- Brianna. - Brianna.

Very nice.

I'm so excited about all of you wonderful people

and everyone here and at home, of course, get to benefit

from Lucy's wonderful advice.

You see I'm gonna teach you

how to spot a dirty, filthy liar.

Lie to me.

(jazzy music)

- I'm 35 years old.

- You're 35 years old.

I'm not touching that one.

(audience laughing)

Perhaps I need to help you.

You don't seem super nervous.

I think you tell that lie a lot is my guess.

So how about this?

We all will imagine ourselves to be children.

I think it was much easier to lie when we were children.

Just a little less guilty.

So you're all small, tidy children.

Can you picture this?

Yes?

Okay, maybe I need to help them get into character.

Let's see here.

Hold on, hold on.

Can you hold on this for a second?

Fantastic.

(audience laughing)

Hold on to this.

(jazz music)

(Giovanni laughing) (audience laughing)

You look more like a chef, but we're gonna say it's okay.

(audience laughing)

Yeah, now you are all in character.

Do you feel very much like you're in character?

You look like a bunch of tidy.

This is very cute, I love this.

Very adorable.

Now you're in character I can tell you what you are doing.

You're sitting at the kitchen table waiting

for your mother to come home.

She comes home from the farmer's market,

and she has bought herself only one thing

that she wants for herself.

A teeny, tiny pot of delicious jam,

the one thing she wants for herself.

And you horrible, filthy children are about to steal it.

(audience laughing)

Awful.

So can you imagine that jam sitting right there?

You see it floating right there?

Ooh, they're getting very good at lying for children.

Impressive, very good.

Okay, right here.

In fact, you can picture to be a mother, yes?

Okay, that made you way too happy.

(audience laughing)

Interesting, interesting.

The jam is right here, and in a minute,

I, your mother will turn away

and one of you will step forward and steal

the invisible jam out of midair and hide it

in your person there, somewhere on your pocket.

Yes?

Sounds good?

You understand?

Steal it from midair, hide it on your person.

Yes?

Why is this making you so excited?

- I haven't get called up for a magic show.

- You've never been called up for a magic show.

Now I see why.

(audience laughing)

It's right there.

Okay, you ready?

Don't do it yet; wait 'til I cover my eyes.

I'm looking over here; I can't see you.

Quick, steal it.

Get it, get it, get it.

Steal it, steal it, steal it.

Get it, get it, get it, get it.

Okay, and go back and stand there

so that I can't tell who it is.

Okay, great.

Based on the audience's reaction, I'm gonna guess

it has happened, and that it was very boring.

(audience laughing)

Yeah, it just did.

So for the clarity for everyone here,

can the person who has the jam,

don't say anything 'cause I'll be able to tell

from your weird, little voice, pull it out of your pocket,

open the invisible lid, and just take a little taste.

Don't answer with your words, but nod yes or no,

does it taste good?

Yeah?

Nod yes or no, are you proud of yourself

for what you've done to your mother?

Good, all right, put the lid on, hide it in your pocket.

Raise their hand so that everyone knows who's got that jam.

Okay, I'm going to give you one second to wipe

that smug, little grin off your face

(audience laughing)

and try, everyone, to not look guilty.

I'm gonna turn around in three, two, one.

They all look very guilty.

(audience laughing)

All right, now it is my job to ascertain

who has stolen my jam.

(jazz music)

(Aiden laughing)

(audience laughing)

I have no idea.

(audience laughing)

This is a ridiculous premise, you can't just look at someone

and know whether or not they're lying to you.

Everyone knows you must first make them uncomfortable.

(audience laughing)

? Gather around me, my children ?

? Lift up your curly blonde heads ?

(audience laughing)

? 'Cause Mommy's got something to ask you ?

? Before you crawl into your nice, warm beds ?

? Mama wants to know who stole her jam ?

? Who's been in her nice, clean kitchen ?

? Who stole her jam ?

? Was it little Tom or Sue or Mabel ?

? Who snucked it off the table ?

? Even ate the label ?

? Mama wants to know who made this mess ?

? Mama's gonna kick some teeth in if you don't confess ?

? Mama wasn't looking while that stuff was tooken ?

? None of you had better scram ?

? Who stole her jam ?

? Mama's not the type that gets excited ?

? She's locked those groceries home without a squat ?

? But Mama's gotta find that guilty party ?

? One of you kids has to talk ?

? Mama wants to know ?

? She don't wanna guess ?

? Mama's gonna kick some teeth in if you don't confess ?

? Your that little Ella who had snucked it off the shella ?

? You stole her jam ?

(audience laughing)

(audience clapping)

- Well done, very good.

(audience clapping)

(explosion)

- [Dean] Next.

Never play cards with Andi Gladwin in a game he invented.

- Actually, even listed on Wikipedia.

It's a legitimate game.

I got it on there myself.

(audience laughing)

- [Dean] Murray SawChuck will have you scratching your head

in more ways than he can count.

- Look, I'm just making sure.

I told you I wasn't good at math, come on now.

It's too much peroxide, people.

- [Dean] Not seeing is believing,

as Dreygon unleashes his invisible hand.

- Watch the deck, think of your card.

(upbeat music) (audience cheering)

- Alexandra tries a death-defying escape

only a few have dared to attempt.

(explosion) (audience cheering)

(audience cheering) (explosion)

Tonight's performer is not only an accomplished magician,

but a creator and a teacher of magic.

Known for his precision and passion for the art,

he has captivated audiences with his technical mastery

and innovative illusions.

Please welcome the extraordinary Andi Gladwin.

(audience cheering)

- I am here with Bradley from the audience,

and we're gonna play a game that I invented.

It's called Andi's Poker.

Now I realize when I tell you I invented my own game,

you think maybe it's not a legitimate game.

Well, actually it's even listed on Wikipedia.

It's a legitimate game.

I got it on there myself.

(audience laughing)

And we all believe what we read on Wikipedia, right?

Perfect.

So here's how Andi's Poker works.

It just uses 10 cards.

We're gonna shuffle the cards,

and then, Bradley, you and I are gonna

randomly get five cards each.

Then whoever has the best hands wins the game.

It's just like normal poker,

there are certain hands you can get.

For example, you could get a pair,

that's where it's two cards of the same.

Or you could get two pair.

That's where it's two lots of two cards the same.

You know the rules, Bradley?

Fantastic.

You could also get three of a kind,

that's where you get three cards the same.

The only thing that beats a three of a kind is a full house,

which is where you get three cards the same

and two cards the same.

You know the rules.

We're good.

Okay, so we're gonna start by shuffling the cards.

And unlike normal poker, Bradley, you get to choose.

Do you want to get the first card or the second card?

- [Bradley] Second.

- You wanna get the second card?

Okay, no worries.

I will get the first card.

I think that is as fair as we can be.

And I'm dealing with one hand just to make sure

that I'm not doing anything sneaky, Bradley.

You can pick up your hand, have a look what you got.

Actually, before you even do that, before you even look,

we should bet for something.

That's gonna make this more fun, right?

Okay.

So, Bradley, the rules of Andi's Poker is

you have to bet with something on your person.

So what do you have with you?

- I have my phone. - You have your phone?

Okay, all right.

All right, so Bradley's brand new looking phone goes

inside the prize box.

I need to try and match that with something on my person.

I didn't bring my phone, but let's see what I have.

Oh, this should be good, a $1 bill.

(audience laughing)

I mean it doesn't seem like much, but I'm from the UK,

so it's a whole lot of money in this economy.

So that goes in, too.

So whoever wins gets to win the phone and the $1 bill.

You've got to choose which order we dealt in.

So you have a look at your hand, see what you've got,

and if you've got a good hand,

you get to win the phone and the money.

Show everyone what you've got, Bradley.

What did you get?

- A pair of aces.

- A pair of aces is actually a very good hand,

and a pair of aces does beat my pair of kings,

but it doesn't beat my two pair.

Well, that's two fives and two kings,

so I win Bradley's phone.

(audience laughing)

I should explain to you, by the way,

Andi's Poker is game I invented,

so I do tend to win quite often.

I'm sorry.

But you know what?

To make it more fair this time, why don't you actually,

you're gonna get to choose your hand this time.

That should be more fair.

But you also need to bet something.

So Bradley, what are you gonna bet this time?

- My wallet.

- Your wallet.

(audience laughing)

Okay.

You didn't learn from the last round. (chuckling)

Look, we'll put the wallet in the prize box.

Let's see what I have to try and match.

Well, you know what?

You used the wallet, I'll bet some money as well.

One dollar should be fine.

So now this time, I will make it even fairer.

You are going to pick your own hand.

So just reach and just grab a card for me.

Okay?

You need five in total.

Fantastic.

Two more and one more now.

Now that was fair, right?

You've got to pick your own hand,

so you should hopefully have a pretty good hand.

Let's see what you've got and let's see if I won.

Did.

Let's see what happens.

What did you get?

- I got two pairs. - You got two pairs?

(audience clapping)

Oh, that's a good hand.

It's not as good as three of a kind, so I win once again.

(audience laughing)

I get the wallet and the phone.

Thanks so much for playing.

(audience clapping)

You know what?

Let me give you a chance to win your money back.

I feel bad.

And your phone as well.

You'll win money and your wallet in your phone.

Let's play one more time.

This time I'm going to sleight-of-hand proof this deck.

We're not gonna use the cards.

We'll use these jumbo cards.

This way we can be sure

that there's nothing sneaky going on.

But you are gonna need to bet one last thing.

So what do you have with you?

- The last thing I have is my ChapStick.

(audience laughing)

- It took you three rounds to learn,

but what did you just say?

Your dog chewed up your ChapStick?

Okay, I dunno whether that's gross

or you have a really smart dog with dry lips. (chuckling)

All right, well I think I can match $1 for ChapStick,

that seems fair.

This one was not chewed up by any animals,

so of extra value.

So now the winner gets ChapSticks,

a wallet, a phone, and $3.

This is how we are gonna sleight-of-hand proof.

We're gonna take some cards each,

and we need to hand them out to the audience

who are gonna help us randomize this last round.

So hand some cards out, I'll do the same.

Would you take one for me?

That's great.

Would you take one, too?

You could take one, too.

We have a few more here as well.

Fantastic.

And then, Bradley,

when you're done, join me back up on stage.

That's great, come on up.

And now the audience can kind of help us make sure

that you win this round.

So we need to pick a card each.

So I'll take this card and you can pick a card as well.

(uptempo electronic music)

Okay, I'll pick another card.

You can pick another card as well.

We can stay down in the audience.

I'll take a card.

Great.

I'll take this card.

Let's keep going.

Okay, I'll take another one.

So we have two more cards left.

Bradley, come on stage because now you can look

at your own hand. - Okay.

- And you get to choose which of these two cards

you would like and they can even show you

the cards to make it easier for you.

Two aces, okay.

Good choice, random choice there.

Okay, and I will take this ace over here.

So you have now.

Thank you so much.

You have now completed your hand.

This is your final chance to win everything back.

What did you get?

- A pair of kings.

- A pair of kings is actually a good hand.

Since I'm playing Andi's Poker, I may as well win

because I got a pair of aces and a pair of fives,

which means I win Andi's Poker.

That's the phone,

(audience clapping)

the wallet, and the ChapStick eaten by a dog.

Let's give it up for Bradley, everybody.

(audience clapping)

You know what, Bradley?

Come on back.

There's one more rule I have to tell you

about in Andi's Poker.

It was on the Wikipedia page,

it says winning the Andi Prize.

This is the Andi Prize, isn't it?

In the very unlikely event that Andi wins three times

in a row, very unlikely, it's considered a tie

and his opponent gets their stuff back.

So Bradley, congratulations.

(audience cheering)

You get your stuff back.

Thank you for playing Andi's Poker.

(audience cheering)

A worthy opponent.

(audience laughing)

(explosion)

- [Dean] Next Murray SawChuck will have

you scratching your head in more ways than he can count.

- But look, I'm just making sure.

I told you I wasn't good at math, come on now.

It's too much peroxide, people.

- [Dean] Not seeing is believing

as Dreygon unleashes his invisible hand.

- Watch the deck, think of your card.

- Alexandra tries a death-defying escape

only a few have dared to attempt.

(explosion) (audience cheering)

(audience cheering) (explosion)

This performer has become a staple in the world of magic.

Known for his unique blend of comedy and illusion,

he's dazzled audiences on stages around the world

and is a fan favorite of our show.

Please welcome the incredible Murray SawChuck.

(audience cheering)

- What's up? (laughing)

How you guys doing?

It's so important that I match the table

that I'm working with, hence why I got the green jacket on.

I need someone to help me.

I like closeup magic and sleight of hand.

I'm also not very good at math.

I'll explain this in a minute.

I wanna think I wanna use a gentleman

this time for this trick.

You wanna come up?

You wanna help, yeah?

Big hand for this gentleman, come on up.

(audience clapping)

How are you, sir?

You look great.

Thanks for being here, man.

You can step to the right side of the table for me.

And what's your name?

- [Foday] Foday.

- Foday, that's an amazing name.

I thought Murray was cool,

but Foday, I'll take that any day, that's amazing.

I've never met a Foday in my life.

I had a good day, never met a Foday.

So that's good.

So Foday here's what's gonna happen, all right.

I got a prediction.

It's a little question mark that's gonna sit right there,

and I'm putting that out first and foremost.

That's just gonna stay there, all right?

That, I think, is where we're gonna end up

with you and me right here, all right?

Fair enough?

Now I got 25 cards, not very good at math.

I can only count to 25, but here I go.

One, two, three, four, five, right?

And then I got six, seven, eight, nine, 10,

11, 12, 13, 14, 15,

16, 17, 18, 19, 20,

21, 22, 23, 24, 25, okay?

So fair, pretty fair, yes?

- [Foday] Yeah.

- All right.

So here's what's gonna happen.

Have a look at the cards and numbers and all that.

They're obviously all in order.

And I'm gonna ask you a question.

We're gonna row by row, all right?

We're gonna eliminate different numbers

and cards, all right?

So on the top row, one through five,

which number do you want?

Totally free selection.

You can change your mind if you wish.

- Number three. - Number three.

Do you wanna change your mind or you want three?

- I want three.

- You're sure? - Absolutely.

- Okay, how about now?

No? - No.

- Yeah, okay, fine, three.

I'm gonna get rid of these, all right.

I'm gonna get rid of this row the three's in right here.

All right, just like so, and those gonna go right there.

Okay?

That's your choice.

Now we have the next row, which is a six, seven,

a nine, and a 10.

Which one do you want? - 10.

- You sure? - Yep.

- Change your mind or no? - No.

- You sure?

All right, here we go.

Like this.

I'm gonna get rid of this row right here for you as well.

Now we have the next row, which is 11, 12, we have a 14.

So which one would you like?

- 11. - 11, are you sure?

- Absolutely.

- Any particular reason or just do you like it?

- I don't know, I like two, one.

- All right, fair enough, there we go.

There's that, I'm gonna take these out as well.

That's the row there.

Now, of course, we have 17 and 19.

Which one? - 19.

- Are you sure? - Yep.

- Change your mind? - Nope.

- All right, take away this one right here

and that's the row, of course,

the down row, which leads to 22.

So that's what we have right here, okay?

If you look very carefully, we have 11 and 22, right?

So what's that?

That is 23.

Right?

And then 30.

Look, I'm just making sure.

I told you I wasn't good at math, come on now.

It's too much peroxide, people.

So 22 and 11's of course 33.

33 and 3 is what?

- 36. - 36.

36 and 10 is what?

(audience laughing)

See, you can't count either.

That makes both of us, yes, exactly.

46 and 19 is what?

65. - 65.

- See, I can count.

This is the prediction that's been out here the whole time.

You had 25 cards to choose from,

you could have mixed up any cars you wanted to.

Totally free selection, right?

- Yeah.

- I even gave you a chance to change them.

Even gave us a chance to count cards,

which took us forever, didn't it?

65, right?

You made this 65, yeah?

- Oh, absolutely. - 11 22, 3, 19, 10.

Flip that over.

Just flip it over.

65 matches, doesn't it?

(audience clapping)

- Even. - Yeah, see?

Flip that right on camera so you guys can see it.

But that's not it, that's not it.

Watch this really carefully.

I'm gonna not do anything.

Watch my hands.

Watch.

Watch, watch.

(audience laughing)

So stupid.

What's your name?

- Foday. - Foday.

Don't wanna change it?

- No, man. - I just wanna make sure

because look really carefully.

F-O-D-A-Y, I hope I spelled that right.

Is that right?

Yes? - That's it.

- Big hand for Foday everybody.

Thank you!

Give this man a big round of applause.

(audience cheering) (upbeat music)

(audience cheering) (explosion)

- [Dean] Next.

Not seeing is believing

as Dreygon unleashes his invisible hand.

- Watch the deck.

Think of your card.

- Alexandra tries a death-defying escape

only a few have dared to attempt.

(explosion) (audience cheering)

(audience cheering) (explosion)

Prepare to be astonished

by a magician who combines creativity

and precision to deliver unforgettable illusions.

He's an award-winning performer who has taken the world

of closeup magic by storm, captivating

audiences everywhere, including right here.

Let's give a warm welcome to the extraordinary Dreygon.

(light flute music) (audience clapping)

- My favorite things in life are art and magic,

because those things allow me to make anything

from my imagination become real.

I'll show you what I mean.

I have a series of images that might not seem

like much to you, but to me they mean so much more.

Right now you probably just see a rectangle, right?

But in my mind, it's something so much more.

So let's add a little bit more detail.

Oh, okay, okay.

Now you can see it's not just a rectangle, it's a box,

but it's still a very specific type of box.

So I need to add a little bit more detail.

Oh, okay, now you can see it's not just any box,

it's a box of playing cards.

But it's still missing one last thing.

It's missing depth.

(dramatic orchestral music)

(audience cheering)

Now obviously, this isn't a real box of cards,

but that's what I love about art so much.

You know, our imagination sort of fills in the blank.

(audience cheering)

But obviously, a box of cards isn't complete

without a deck of cards.

Thank you so much.

Now that the cards are out of the box, I actually need one

of you guys to come up here and help me out.

In fact, right here.

What's your name? - Ahmad.

- Ahmad?

Do you mind joining me?

Everyone make Ahmad feel welcome.

(audience clapping)

Yeah.

What's up?

Nice to meet you, nice to meet you.

Now, Ahmad, art is very similar to magic

because it's subjective.

Everyone experiences it differently.

For example, what color would you say the stack of cards is?

- Red. - Red.

And that's totally understandable, right?

But for me, it might be a little bit different.

For me, I might see it as blue.

(audience gasping)

In fact, not just that card.

Actually, every single card in the deck, I see as blue.

Which is pretty cool, pretty cool.

But Ahmad, I wanna take this one step further.

So can you actually just take one of these?

It doesn't matter.

And I'm gonna have you write your name big and bold on it.

It doesn't matter if I see it, so you can place it down

on the notebook and you just take the Sharpie, write

your name big and bold on there because I am gonna show

you guys a trick and tell you exactly how it's done.

In fact, the secret to this trick

that you're about to watch is that everything is not real.

Nothing you're about to see is real.

And your name's really on there?

- Yep. - But it's not real.

Okay.

So we're gonna lose Ahmad's card into the deck

and the way I'm gonna find it is without using my hands.

Do you believe me? - Okay, let's see it.

- You wanna see it?

You want me to prove it?

Okay.

We'll leave that right there.

It's gonna look like I'm gonna cut it into the deck,

but remember, it's not real.

(dramatic orchestral music)

Watch the deck.

Think of your card.

(dramatic music)

(audience gasping)

One card comes out of the deck.

Ahmad, that's your card with your name on it.

Thank you so much.

(audience clapping)

Yeah, but we'll take it one step further.

Can you watch the deck?

Watch the deck.

(audience gasping)

That's why everything you just saw could not be real.

Thank you, guys, so much for watching, you did great.

You can keep that as a souvenir.

- Thank you.

- Thank you, guys, so much.

(audience cheering)

Thank you, guys.

(audience clapping)

(explosion)

- Next.

Alexandra tries a death-defying escape

only a few have dared to attempt.

(explosion)

(audience cheering) (explosion)

This performance will push the boundaries

of magic and danger.

What you're about to witness involves high-risk elements,

and every single move must be executed

with pinpoint accuracy.

Please give her your undivided attention.

This is not something you will want to miss.

Let's hear it for Alexandra.

(audience clapping)

(dramatic orchestral music)

(audience clapping)

(audience gasping)

(metal thudding)

(audience cheering)

(explosion)

We have journeyed through the impossible tonight,

and we hope that you've enjoyed every single moment.

I'm Dean Cain and we'll see you next time

for more unbelievable magic

right here on "Masters of Illusion".
