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 to
Masters of Illusion.

Are you ready to be challenged?

Join me as we meet tonight's Masters of
Illusion.

Look at this illusion.

It is called the endless staircase.

Reality and perception are not always
the same. If your eye follows it up,

is no place for it to end. And if you
see it as descending, there is no final

destination. Our mind will play with our
journey. Either way, it will lead us to

frustration, and so will this illusion
that defies explanation.

Can there be a world without gravity?

Well, watch Nathan Burton.

Tom Bergoon to dinner? Before he leaves,
you better count the silverware.

I was taken into a group of three
retired professional magicians when I

years old. They thought I showed a
little promise in the magic business.

one of the tricks they taught me how to
do. It's called the spoon trick. It's

not really funny. It took me over two
years staying in front of a mirror,

practicing this trick to make it look
like it looks like right now. What

is this. The spoon goes into this pocket
right here.

The spoon is going to disappear from
right here. It's going to go into the

over here. That's the only thing that's
going to happen. You just have to catch

me when I pull the magic, the slight old
hand.

Watch it close. Let's back up.

Spoon.

Again.

Spoon.

Even slower.

Spoon.

Watch it.

The spoon is now gone.

Spoon should be in the case.

Yep, there it is.

No one ever believes me.

This right here? No, you're not
watching. That's a fork, folks. You're

watching this at all, are you? That's
the crazy part of the whole thing.

got to see the spoon.

So it's right here in the case.
Everybody says, that's a great trick.

do it? I can do it because the hand is
quicker than the eye.

It's a gag. Come on, you guys.

You guys are taking this way too
serious. You know, you really are.

Most illusions are said to be nothing
but smoke and mirrors. But for Greg

it is nothing but broken mirrors.

Arthur Trace.

Can the senses be controlled? Is it
possible that you cannot hear what you

Watch Arthur Trace.

I know this next trick works because I
tested it on my dog, Pavlov.

True story.

The hand is quicker than the... You've
heard that, right?

But have you heard the hand is quicker
than the nose?

No?

One person.

Or perhaps the hand is quicker than the
ear. Anybody?

No? Of course not. Because most
magicians just try to fool your eye.

Tonight, I'm going to do something
different.

I'm not only going to fool your eyes,
but also your ears.

It's something that I like to call
flight of ear.

That changes things a bit.

In order for this to work, what I do has
to be in tune with what you hear.

Yeah.

Sir, I know what you're thinking. It's
very impressive.

Thank you.

But let's switch it up a bit.

You see, I think it'd be more impressive
if you can hear the clapper travel from

here to here.

Listen.

Yeah!

That's what I'm talking about.

Now, like I said, I know this fools my
dog Pavlov, but some of you are smarter

than my dog.

In the hat over here.

What is your name?

Lynette, would you join me on stage as
the audience gives you some

encouragement? Lynette!

Very nice to meet you, Lynette. Stand
over here. Face our lovely audience. I

love the hat.

Lynette, open up your hand.

Just that one. Close it into a fist.
Hold this up. Hold it tight.

From here to there.

Open up and show them.

No reaction. Lynette is suddenly
mysterious.

I'll take that, Lynette. Have a seat.
That's all you needed to do.

Lynette!

So, the moral of the story is this.

The hand is quicker than the ear.

It's true.

And remember to be good to your dog
because you never know when you'll need

their help.

Aww.

This is Pavlov's biscuit. That's how I
got him to stick around and watch the

trick.

The problem is, all he wanted to do was
play fetch.

Thanks for listening.

We'll be back with Matt Marcy and Les
Arnold and Dazzle.

Now, a performer who loves the dramatic.
He takes no prisoners.

Here's Matt Marcy.

Sir, what's your name?

Credit by Brian's deck of cards here.

I will need you to select one.

They're all different.

All different. Chris, I'm just going to
run my thumb down the corner of the

deck. If you would, say stop wherever
you would like.

A little quicker, Chris.

There you go. Take the card. Look at it.
Hold it over your head so the people

around you can see which one it is.

There you go. A couple of people up
behind you.

There you go. Those of you in the back,
next time get here earlier.

Good job. All right, go ahead and put it
back.

Slide it in the middle. Yeah, there you
go.

All right, good job.

I was at the park about a week ago, and
there was a clown there, and he was

making those balloon animals. You've
probably seen that they take these long

balloons and they twist them into
shapes. Dogs, cats, penguins.

You guys know what I'm talking about,
right?

I have been practicing.

The colors.

Not very good, actually. So far I can
only do one animal. It's a snake.

Use that and the cards.

Tonight, I'm going to show you the power
of the sword.

One time!

Chris, which one did you pick?

The four of clubs?

It's the four of clubs!

Coming up, Les Arnold and Dazzle. And
Tommy Wynn.

Time for Elegance with Les Arnold and
Dazzle.

Pulling a 10 -foot pole can be
dangerous, but with Tommy Wind, it can

wonders.

And that's it. Another amazing evening
of illusion and distorting reality.

You know how they did it?

Because I sure don't. And that's because
they are the masters of illusion.

Be sure to catch us next time. I'm Dean
Cain. Good night.
