DEAN: 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.

Welcome to Maters of Illusion.

Are you ready for some magic?

AUDIENECE: Yeah.

DEAN: Oh!

Are you ready to be challenged?

AUDIENCE: Yes!

DEAN: Are you ready to be amazed?

AUDIENCE: Yes!

DEAN: Okay.

Well, then join me as we meet tonight's

Masters of Illusion.

AUDIENCE: (APPLAUSE)

DEAN: Look at this card.

Reality and perception are not always the same.

Sometimes the eye can intentionally confuse the

brain.

Is this a total distortion?

Well, can you tell that this is an illustration of

perfect circles?

The brain has to work hard to separate them.

Well here is a truly spectacular illusion

performed by Tommy Wind.

AUDIENCE: (APPLAUSE)

TOMMY: Ladies and gentlemen tonight we're going to make

a miracle happen on the stage.

You will see this through and through this men and

women who have been chosen from the audience to be

placed and be the eyes and ears.

Could you please follow me?

Could you come along and stand right here for me?

I want you to make sure that nothing enters this space.

Could you please come along as well and stand right

here?

And you please, could you stand right here and make

sure nothing enters this space,

whatsoever.

This group here, could you please follow me and stand

right in this plane to make sure that there is no way

that nothing could enter or leave this space?

Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to create a miracle,

and we're going to do it now.

Lift the sheets.

Everybody check this out.

Go!

AUDIENCE: Wow!

(APPLAUSE)

DAVE: Now we are going to totally confuse your brain.

See if you can keep up the rapid pace of Jason Andrews.

(APPLAUSE)

JASON: Thank you very much.

You know, this next piece of magic always makes me a lot

of friends.

You're going to see why in just a moment.

This is called the glass and the bottle illusion.

I can it the glass and the bottle illusion because it

uses a glass and a bottle.

Very easy to follow along the idea of the illusion.

It's to make the glass and the bottle change places on

the table without me touching them.

So I'm making these two newspaper tubes.

This is the tube number one, if it's right over the

bottle, so I don t have to touch it.

This is tube number two.

Tube number two, if it's right over the glass,

so I don t have to touch it.

When I remove the two tubes the glass will be on that

side, the bottle on that side.

Are you ready to see it?

Say "Yes!"

AUDIENCE: Yeah.

JASON: Good.

Tube number one over the bottle.

Tube number two.

Oops!

Awkward.

I'm sorry.

I should tell you, I always carry an extra bottle with

me, just in case that would break I could still do

the illusion for you.

Just, just forget about it. Okay.

Tube number one over the bottle,

slow motion.

Tube number two over the glass.

Glass becomes the bottle, bottle becomes the glass.

What very closely.

Glass, bottle.

Bottle, glass.

Thank you.

(APPLAUSE)

Huh.

Nailed it.

So good.

I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking there's an extra bottle under the

table.

No! No!

Just the one glass, the one bottle,

and the two tubes.

Tube number one, always over the bottle.

Tube number...

Oops.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Too many bottles.

Tube number, over the bottle.

Tube number two over the glass.

Glass becomes the bottle.

Bottle becomes the glass.

When they change places, although it's the one extra.

Too many bottles, I'm sorry.

We'll keep going.

Glass becoming the bottle.

Bottle becoming the glass.

Already, too many bottles.

Too many bottles.

It's confusing.

I'll do it with one tube only.

One tube only.

Glass becomes the bottle.

Bottle becomes the glass.

Like I said, too many bottles.

Sometimes I don t even use a glass for the trick.

Sometimes I use two bottles.

Sometimes I use two glass, but only if there is an

extra bottle to fill those glasses.

If I do see two glasses I say the word "Cheers" and a

table full of bottles is why I have so

many friends.

AUDIENCE: (APPLAUSE)

JASON: Thank you.

DEAN: This illusion ends before it begins.

Concentrate as Mark Bennick proves that you never have

to be lonely.

DEAN: Coming up, Berry and Stuart,

Murray SawChuck, Farell Dillon,

and Jonathan Pendragon.

DEAN: Here are our favorite troublemakers from Scotland

with more mayhem.

Barry and STUART.

(APPLAUSE)

STUART: The piranha fish, famous because they are

carnivals, they can actually eat human flesh.

In this marquees salt water here we got from the L.A

river we have some real piranha fish.

Now these aren t just any old piranhas.

They are actually educated.

They're clever.

They have college degrees in chemistry,

physics.

BARRY: They are clever, Clever but deadly.

And to see how clever they are I got this book,

it's called "My animals."

It's just a kid's book with pictures of animals and the

name of the animal written right beside it.

The person sitting right there with the

glasses, I need you to flip through the pages and just

stop anytime you like. Okay.

Everyone have a look at the animal being I've been

stopped on.

Nobody say this out loud.

We don t act with a face to hear what the animal is.

STUART: Now this face can read and they can actually

write, and I'm going to prove it you now using some,

some steak here.

This is the finest Aberdeen Angus from our hometown in

Scotland. We do like their meat rear.

I'm going to give them the meat and buddy you can

show them the book.

BARRY: Okay.

Are piranha fish intelligent enough to read the word

that's written on this page.

STUART: Look, they've chewed into it.

C.A.T. (APPLAUSE)

BARRY: Thanks to the fish too.

We appreciate your applause, but that was easy for them.

That was - that was kids' stuff to them.

That was just a little baby fish that were doing that.

The big ones that are in that tank they are even

cleverer.

STUART: Yeah, you can ask the big ones any question in

the world and they will actually know the answer and

we are going to put them to the test with this box of

questions from a popular family game,

that we can t name for legal reasons,

but if you are in the - in the pursue of trivial facts,

you might want to play it.

BARRY: You might know which one we are referring to.

The person sitting right there,

I can ask you to just select one of the categories.

Say it out loud.

AUDIENCE: History.

Yellow.

BARRY: History, the yellow one.

History.

They do know quite a bit about history,

that s a good one for them.

STUART: They do.

Those are hard questions though.

BARRY: Choose one of the question cards.

Take anyone you like, and have a look at that

question card.

Make - make sure that there are different questions and

different answers.

We are not cheating.

STUART: Okay.

This time we are going to feed them some bison.

There has to be fresh meat.

We tried some tofu earlier.

BARRY: Yeah.

They - they didn t like that at all.

Put the tofu in, they just chucked it right back out

again.

Stuart you hold me the tongs.

They - they - they know me.

They like me.

They trust me. They wouldn t hurt.

Okay. Read out loud for us the history question.

Shout it out loud.

BARRY: Let's find out. How many ships. Oh!

STUART: Oh! Get it. Get it.

BARRY: Okay. Ah! Ah! Ah!

STUART: Keep your hand in there.

What's the answer!

How many?

How many? Three?

BARRY: Ah!

Ah. My hand. Argh.

STUART: Three. It is three?

BARRY: Yeah.

STUART: Give it up for the educated piranhas.

Let's give them a nice hand.

Thanks.

I challenge you to figure out this impossible feet of

MURRAY: So I'm gonna show you how to get a free drink.

Guys, is it alright?

Here it is, we had a six pack of beer out here and I

got some cards, I just like some.

Let's have a look.

Sir, pick a number between one and six.

MIKE: Five.

MURRAY: Five. You like five? Alright.

Here we go. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Take this. Come up here.

Take this. Put it right between your legs.

Sit down, put it right between your legs.

No. No. Not on the floor.

That was before, between your leg and hold

it right there.

The reason why is that I don t want anybody

to get to it.

Alright, hang on to it.

You got it.

You're comfortable? Alright. Perfect.

A little more - more like... not, yeah.

Relax.

That's on- on the chair you can just...

that's... Yeah.

Don t make a big deal about it.

Okay. Great. Alright. Alright.

We'll take this. Here we go.

Big hand for Chloe.

AUDIENCE: (APPLAUSE)

MURRAY: Sealed bottle, yes.

Now here is what's going to happen, alright?

What's your name?

MIKE: Mike.

MURRAY: Mike. Excellent, Mike.

The cards, here is what we are going to do.

What's your name?

CELESTE: Celeste.

MURRAY: Alright, Celeste.

I'm going to have you help me.

I got a pretty normal deck of cards here.

Come up. Stand here.

A pretty normal deck, yes.

They're all mixed up, you can see that. Alright.

I'm going to raise the deck like this you say "Stop",

whenever you like. Is it enough?

Yes? Alright. Here we go.

Right there. Great.

Pick the card.

Memorize the card, make sure I don t see the card,

alright?

You got it? Alright.

Hold it up over the audience, and swing

it to the left and the right so everyone can see.

Everyone got it?

Yes?

CELESTE: Yeah.

MURRAY: Excellent. Put it in the pack.

Right. Here the card is, yes?

CELESTE: Yeah.

MURRAY: You can sit down.

Big hand for Celeste everybody. Alright.

You have the beer.

Here we are going to actually try something,

alright?

I'm going to shuffle it.

Do you want to make something up?

Okay. That's enough. Good.

So, do you want something up?

It's up to you before I do this.

You sure, alright.

You only take something out of the fridge,

a glass bottle that has condensation on it,

things stick, you know what I'm talking about,

like a piece of paper, a kleenex,

like that, yes?

Alright, I'm going to try something.

Let me the beer bottle. Hand it to me.

Yeah. Here we go.

Watch very carefully.

I'm going to try to stick your card to the bottle.

Check this out.

1, 2, 3.

It stuck to its forehead?

No.

That would be amazing that it just stuck in the bottom,

right?

It would be a good trick though, wouldn't it?

Yeah. Or, inside the bottle.

Just like that. Is that your card?

The three of clubs.

AUDIENCE: (APPLAUSE)

MURRAY: Guy, that's your beer . There you go.

AUDIENCE: (APPLAUSE)

MURRAY: Thank you.

DEAN: Coming up, Farell Dillon and

Jonathan Pendragon

DEAN: Our next performer will absolutely astound you.

If you happen to have a $100 bill.

Meet Farell Dillon

AUDIENCE: (APPLAUSE)

FARELL: I need to borrow a $100 bill from somebody out

of the audience.

If you have a $100 bill, please raise your hand,

I will come down to you.

Oh, you have a $100 bill for real?

Oh, you do. Okay.

Come on up on stage.

Let's give him a big hand.

Come on up.

What's your name?

ERIC: Eric FARELL: Eric.

Nice to know you got a whole batch.

This is going to be great.

Thank you for - for donating $100 for their

entertainment.

ERIC: But I do need this.

FARELL: No. No.

This is not a 4013c, I get to keep this.

But here I want you to hold on to that for a

second. I have a sharpie marker.

I want you to take this marker,

write your name across the bill.

That way we will recognize it if we ever see it again.

ERIC: But I have to use it.

FARELL: You can use it. It's fine. Don t worry.

Go ahead and write your name on the bill for me please.

Write it pretty big though so that they can see

it on the camera.

Eric, thank you.

I will take the bill back and if,

oh, sorry, the pen back.

If you would turn the bill towards the camera,

that way the people at home can see the bill with your

name on it.

Alright. Eric. Where are you from?

ERIC: Here. FARELL: From here.

ERIC: Yeah.

FARELL: This is a nice place.

Where I come from writing on a bill like this is illegal,

but that's okay.

I came up with a way to make the ink that he wrote on the

bill with invisible.

You guys seem really excited.

AUDIENCE: (LAUGHS)

FARELL: You start by folding the bill in half,

Eric, then you fold it into quarters and then finally

into sixteenths.

If you're confused that's math.

I - I take the bill.

Put it inside the fist, then apply a little bit of heat

and Eric check it out the ink that you wrote on the

bill with is now invisible.

AUDIENCE: (APPLAUSE)

FARELL: Thanks for your help. Alright.

You're not leaving. I'm fine.

We'll do.

Like, I'll make it up to you.

We'll do something else.

Err, let's see.

I know here we do a card trick but,

Eric, it's a really good card trick.

You'll probably want to tip me $100 at the end.

Or not, that's fine too.

Alright, Eric, here is what's going to happen.

I'm going to run my thumb along the cards like this.

I want you to say "Stop," for me.

Somewhere in the middle.

ERIC: Stop.

FARELL: Perfect. Take that card, look at it.

Don t let me see it, but hold it up so the camera

can zoom in on it.

And Eric, just like you did on the bill,

I want you to take this marker,

write your name across the face of it,

okay?

And while you're doing that I'm going to show everyone a

feel of skill.

Get ready.

(APPLAUSE)

FARELL: Alright.

Now, Eric, here is what's going to happen.

I'm going to go through the cards like this.

I want you to say "Stop," for me,

somewhere in the middle.

ERIC: Stop.

FARELL: Perfect.

Put your card back right there.

Oh, freestyle, good choice.

I'm not going to do sleight of hand, Eric.

What I am going to do though is called sleight of foot.

I'll show you what I mean. Watch.

Check it out. Watch.

ERIC: Oh!

FARELL: One card appeared here inside of my shoe.

I even folded it with my toes into quarters,

which you have to admit, even if this isn t your

card, it's super impressive.

ERIC: It would be.

FARELL: But, like, lucky for me,

it's sort of a wet card.

It's a smelly card and it's your card,

the Jack of Diamonds with "Eric" written on it.

AUDIENCE: (APPLAUSE)

FARELL: Thank you.

Eric, thank you so much for your help.

You can watch your step on the way down the stairs.

Oh, that's right.

Err, Eric, you want to know where your $100 bill is?

ERIC: Yeah.

FARELL: Yeah? Alright.

Yeah, you're going to...

you're going to need this.

AUDIENCE: (LAUGHS)

FARELL: You should have let me keep it.

But look!

I want to show you something interesting about this card

that you signed a few moments ago.

Like, tear this card that you signed in half like

this, you find that, among the layers of the

card, look at this.

I'm going to show you in there.

Look at it.

Among the layers of the card actually sealed inside this

card, embedded into the layers of this playing card

is something that shouldn t be there.

Inside the layers of your signed card is in fact a

$100 bill.

AUDIENCE: (APPLAUSE)

FARELL: Hold on.

But, Eric, this would only be good if this was the same

$100 bill that you gave me.

If this is the same $100 that you signed just a few

moments ago, I want you to say it in a really loud

voice "Yes."

ERIC: Yes.

AUDIENCE: (APPLAUSE)

FARELL: That's Eric's signature.

Eric, thanks to you.

Thank you so much for your help.

You can go head back to your seat,

watch your step on the way down the stairs.

Everybody give it up for Eric.

AUDIENCE: (APPLAUSE)

DEAN: When we come back, Jonathan Pendragon.
