Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,980 --> 00:00:08,860
Illusion, the art of tricking the brain,
distorting the senses, challenging
2
00:00:08,860 --> 00:00:15,380
perception. You can't trust what you
see, even with your own eyes, because
3
00:00:15,380 --> 00:00:19,800
brain can be misled. Meet the Masters of
Illusion.
4
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,440
I'm Dean Cain, and I want to challenge
what you think is real and what you
5
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:30,440
is illusion.
6
00:00:30,670 --> 00:00:35,170
Does the brain always see what the eye
sees, or does it play games with you?
7
00:00:35,350 --> 00:00:40,810
Case in point, look at this. Is one
tabletop a different shape than the
8
00:00:40,930 --> 00:00:44,990
Well, don't believe what you see. They
are both the same.
9
00:00:45,210 --> 00:00:48,350
It is your brain that created the
difference.
10
00:00:48,990 --> 00:00:50,370
We invite you...
11
00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:53,370
To watch these masters of illusion.
12
00:00:53,630 --> 00:00:58,750
There are no camera tricks. These
performances take place in real time
13
00:00:58,750 --> 00:00:59,750
live audience.
14
00:00:59,890 --> 00:01:01,970
You see what they see.
15
00:01:02,210 --> 00:01:04,050
Nothing has been edited out.
16
00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:07,490
Are your eyes and brain fast enough for
them?
17
00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:11,610
Our first performer is known for his
lightning speed.
18
00:01:11,910 --> 00:01:14,910
Watch closely and see if you can catch
him in the act.
19
00:01:15,130 --> 00:01:17,270
Here is Jan Rubin.
20
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,520
What happens when you bring together a
master illusionist and a piano genius?
21
00:02:25,940 --> 00:02:30,740
Well, our next performers are just that.
Take a look as Jarrett and Raja
22
00:02:30,740 --> 00:02:33,400
transform fantasy into reality.
23
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,420
something really special to show you.
24
00:03:08,460 --> 00:03:09,520
It's right over here.
25
00:03:10,620 --> 00:03:14,160
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'll be fine. I
don't do this. Off with the jacket.
26
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,960
You'll be good. This is crazy. We need
you.
27
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,140
This is insane.
28
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,000
Can we talk? You'll be fine.
29
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,280
No, no, no, no, no.
30
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,860
I want to go back. It's fine.
31
00:03:59,850 --> 00:04:00,850
No, you don't!
32
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,800
Well, what you always do. Play the
piano.
33
00:05:09,820 --> 00:05:10,779
Watch out.
34
00:05:10,780 --> 00:05:15,640
Like this. Why not? I'm cut in half.
That's why not. Oh, you'll be fine.
35
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:16,640
me.
36
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,200
Whoa.
37
00:05:28,860 --> 00:05:30,620
I did it. How did you do that?
38
00:05:31,260 --> 00:05:33,280
That was crazy. How did you do that?
39
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,360
I'll need to be all right.
40
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,100
There you go.
41
00:05:58,180 --> 00:06:01,360
Up next, Big Laughs with Michael Finney.
42
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,800
Michael Finney's magic is up close and
in your face.
43
00:06:16,430 --> 00:06:20,390
But can you stop laughing long enough to
see how he does it? This gentleman
44
00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:23,910
sitting on the third row, right on the
aisle, you'd be easily accessible.
45
00:06:25,830 --> 00:06:27,010
What is your name, sir?
46
00:06:28,410 --> 00:06:31,530
You could have done it from your chair,
but as long as you're coming up here,
47
00:06:31,610 --> 00:06:34,490
here, take my hand, take my hand. How
you doing?
48
00:06:34,750 --> 00:06:39,130
I'm fine. I think you've been waiting
all your life for this one moment,
49
00:06:39,130 --> 00:06:39,969
you?
50
00:06:39,970 --> 00:06:42,570
Your first name again is? Jay. Jay, pick
a deck.
51
00:06:44,670 --> 00:06:46,290
If you had a choice, which one would you
take?
52
00:06:46,570 --> 00:06:47,710
There you go.
53
00:06:48,750 --> 00:06:52,710
Take your thumb, flip the top of the
box, turn the box open, and let the
54
00:06:52,710 --> 00:06:54,990
fall out. That's your deck. You do it
with your deck.
55
00:06:56,510 --> 00:06:58,350
And take your time. We're in no hurry.
56
00:06:59,750 --> 00:07:02,030
Yeah, yeah. Thanks for ripping my box,
Jay.
57
00:07:03,110 --> 00:07:04,510
I probably didn't need it tomorrow.
58
00:07:06,140 --> 00:07:09,900
Now, I want you to randomly select any
card in the deck or you may search
59
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:13,560
through and find out your favorite card.
It makes no difference to me. Just find
60
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:14,560
that as quick as you can.
61
00:07:16,180 --> 00:07:17,180
Have you got the card?
62
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,300
Let me have the rest of the deck. Keep
the card you have chosen.
63
00:07:21,180 --> 00:07:24,660
I will turn my back, show that card to
the audience. Don't let me see it.
64
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,880
Now, stick it into this deck anywhere at
random.
65
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,400
a lot of you are saying, that's
ridiculous.
66
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,880
I only do it for the cheap laughs, and
you folks have been very gracious.
67
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,000
So now that I have you just whipped up
into a frenzy, what do you say we
68
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,220
continue on in this carnival -like
atmosphere?
69
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,420
All right, select any card out of the
deck.
70
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,960
Once again, look at it, memorize it,
show it to the audience, don't let me
71
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:04,080
it. All right, place it on top. All you
have to do is recognize your card when
72
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,440
you see it again. Think you can do that?
Yes, I can.
73
00:08:06,730 --> 00:08:08,330
Tell me when you see it again.
74
00:08:10,310 --> 00:08:12,570
Just holler out when you think you see
it there, Jay.
75
00:08:13,090 --> 00:08:14,210
It's close, right there.
76
00:08:14,430 --> 00:08:17,530
All right, Jay's only been doing card
tricks a few moments. Now I'm sure we're
77
00:08:17,530 --> 00:08:19,030
all hoping for the best. Was that it?
78
00:08:19,310 --> 00:08:21,310
No. Too bad, not my trick.
79
00:08:22,890 --> 00:08:25,490
This effect now has a part it never had
before.
80
00:08:25,850 --> 00:08:29,450
Step over here, put your feet together
and your hands down to your sides. Take
81
00:08:29,450 --> 00:08:33,250
the cards into your right hand
fingertips. Hold them firmly and press
82
00:08:33,250 --> 00:08:34,250
the top of your forehead.
83
00:08:36,430 --> 00:08:37,830
Let's be realistic here, Jay.
84
00:08:38,669 --> 00:08:45,250
Now, what I'm going to do is wave my
hand across the front of your eyes and
85
00:08:45,250 --> 00:08:49,550
my fingers. Your eyes will shut and you
will go into a deep trance.
86
00:08:50,530 --> 00:08:51,530
Here we go.
87
00:08:52,050 --> 00:08:56,270
Now, ladies and gentlemen, this requires
complete silence. What I'm about to do
88
00:08:56,270 --> 00:09:00,150
is read Jay's mind. Jay, are you
concentrating on the card? Yes, I am.
89
00:09:00,150 --> 00:09:02,950
eyes are shut? Yes. I'm starting to get
an impression.
90
00:09:05,209 --> 00:09:08,510
I'm having a hard time reading your
mind, Jay. Please keep your eyes shut.
91
00:09:08,770 --> 00:09:10,650
We're going to bring the cards down like
this.
92
00:09:10,930 --> 00:09:12,790
We're going to bring this hand up here
on the deck.
93
00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:16,750
When I snap my fingers, your eyes will
open. You will awaken from your trance,
94
00:09:16,770 --> 00:09:18,470
concentrating on this deck of cards.
95
00:09:18,730 --> 00:09:22,190
Thumb me through them one at a time
until you find your card. Open your
96
00:09:22,270 --> 00:09:24,530
Thumb through there. Show me the card.
This was the big one, right, Jay?
97
00:09:25,130 --> 00:09:27,730
All right. Just show me what the little
one was. Do you remember you went by
98
00:09:27,730 --> 00:09:29,390
that first batch kind of fast, Jay?
99
00:09:29,790 --> 00:09:30,950
That's not it right there, huh?
100
00:09:31,310 --> 00:09:32,310
I'll be darned.
101
00:09:32,670 --> 00:09:33,790
Was that it right there, Jay?
102
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,360
Jay, was that it?
103
00:09:35,980 --> 00:09:36,980
No? Keep looking.
104
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,420
It's got to be in there somewhere.
105
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,280
I thought this was the big one, right?
106
00:09:40,540 --> 00:09:41,680
Keep looking. Look.
107
00:09:41,980 --> 00:09:45,420
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a
minute. I dropped one, Jay. Is that it?
108
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,700
keep looking. Keep looking.
109
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,400
How about this one right here?
110
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,120
Not it.
111
00:09:53,460 --> 00:09:54,460
That was terrific.
112
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:55,999
Is this it?
113
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:56,979
Yes, that's it.
114
00:09:56,980 --> 00:09:58,900
Everybody give Jay a big round of
applause.
115
00:10:08,070 --> 00:10:14,450
Up next, Nathan Burton has a big
surprise for you. And later, Spencer
116
00:10:14,450 --> 00:10:16,210
versus the Jaws of Death.
117
00:10:26,850 --> 00:10:30,050
Our next illusionist brings with him an
empty box.
118
00:10:30,650 --> 00:10:31,850
Simple enough, right?
119
00:10:32,210 --> 00:10:33,510
Well, think again.
120
00:10:34,170 --> 00:10:38,070
Pay close attention and don't blink
because we won't cut away.
121
00:10:38,290 --> 00:10:40,210
Here is Nathan Burton.
122
00:10:42,390 --> 00:10:43,770
Thank you very much.
123
00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:53,330
Now, Masters of Illusions asked me to
bring my favorite illusion, and it's a
124
00:10:53,330 --> 00:10:54,370
empty box.
125
00:10:55,870 --> 00:10:58,510
Yes, it is. And let's take a look. Here
we go.
126
00:11:10,700 --> 00:11:12,780
But there's one thing missing from this
trick.
127
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,480
The showgirls!
128
00:11:18,620 --> 00:11:20,320
Give it up for the lovely ladies!
129
00:11:26,980 --> 00:11:31,920
Michael Grandinetti is a master of now
you see it, now you don't. His
130
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,620
performance challenges you to figure out
not where, but how.
131
00:12:40,590 --> 00:12:41,590
Thank you for watching.
132
00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:07,820
Well known in over 50 countries, he has
performed for presidents and won
133
00:14:07,820 --> 00:14:09,520
multiple World Magic Awards.
134
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,120
This is Jonathan Pendragon.
135
00:15:00,910 --> 00:15:03,430
Get ready to get wild with Rob Lake.
136
00:15:53,110 --> 00:15:57,590
Up next, the danger is real and time is
running out.
137
00:15:57,970 --> 00:16:01,270
Spencer Horseman faces off with the jaws
of death.
138
00:16:12,350 --> 00:16:17,770
This is a length of three -quarter inch
rope. It takes exactly two minutes to
139
00:16:17,770 --> 00:16:18,770
burn through.
140
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,700
Spencer Horseman must free himself from
a straitjacket before the rope burns
141
00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:29,020
away and a thousand pounds of flaming
metal come crashing down on him. The
142
00:16:29,020 --> 00:16:30,480
danger is real.
143
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,280
Injuries and deaths have happened
before.
144
00:16:33,620 --> 00:16:37,720
Can Spencer escape before time runs out?
Good evening.
145
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,340
Harry Houdini is considered to be one of
the greatest escape artists that ever
146
00:16:43,340 --> 00:16:44,340
lived.
147
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,180
So, a hundred years ago, Houdini created
a number of escapes that are still
148
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:52,440
known and famous to this day. First and
foremost being the straight jacket
149
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,860
escape. I'm going to attempt to do the
same thing for you here this evening
150
00:16:56,860 --> 00:16:57,839
a little bit of a twist.
151
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,980
A straight jacket is essentially a
canvas bag that's been reinforced. There
152
00:17:02,980 --> 00:17:07,700
five buckles that go down the back, a
sixth on the sleeve. The last strap here
153
00:17:07,700 --> 00:17:09,280
is the cruel and unusual part.
154
00:17:10,730 --> 00:17:15,210
The arms crisscross in front of the
body, one elbow locks onto the other
155
00:17:15,369 --> 00:17:20,369
and these go around the back. My modern
twist to this classic escape is the
156
00:17:20,369 --> 00:17:21,750
device hanging behind me.
157
00:17:21,970 --> 00:17:26,329
My own creation called the jaws of
death, which are held open with just a
158
00:17:26,329 --> 00:17:28,650
of rope, and a moment will be lit on
fire.
159
00:17:29,250 --> 00:17:34,690
Once it is, I'll have less than two
minutes to free myself and then jump to
160
00:17:34,690 --> 00:17:36,950
safety. If I don't, I'm crushed.
161
00:17:38,150 --> 00:17:39,150
Wish me luck.
162
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:24,360
So there you have it. The impossible
made real. Can you figure out how they
163
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:31,320
it? I can't. Remember, these are the
best in the world. These are the
164
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,600
masters of illusion.
165
00:20:33,100 --> 00:20:35,600
Until next time, I'm Dean Cain.
