The magic of Christmas, the art of
treating the brain, the season of joy,

fantasy and imagination.

Believe what you know is impossible.

Meet the Masters of Illusion.

Good evening, everyone, and welcome to a
very special Masters of Illusion

holiday show.

I'm Dean Cain.

Gentlemen, if you have trouble finding a
date for that big holiday party, this

is someone you might just want as your
wingman.

Here is Michael Turco.

It's Nathan Penn.

When

it

comes to holiday memories, families love
to gather together for Christmas

dinner. Well, right now, we bring you a
very unique way to bring everyone

together. Here is Greg Gleason.

Thank you.

You know, they say every theater is
haunted, but sometimes it's not the

that's haunted.

Sometimes it's an object brought into
that theater. For example, that dining

room table sitting on stage.

Now, I know what a few of you are
thinking. You're thinking right now, if

could come on stage, if I could examine
that table, I'd figure out exactly how

this works.

Well, right now, I'm going to invite 10
or 15 of you to join me on stage.

I am not going to pick you.

You are going to pick yourselves.

So, if you want to join me, stand up,
walk forward, don't be shy, come on up.

Come on up.

Excellent. Everyone, great.

Step right behind the table.

Perfect. Come on up. Thank you. Thanks
for joining us. Excellent. I need to

six people that I think might have the
right Christmas spirit.

And let's see.

Would you help me out? I bet you have
the right Christmas spirit.

Put your hands right here.

Excellent. And how about you? Would you
help me out? Put your hands right about

here.

Would you help me out? Great. Put your
hands right about here.

Excellent. Would you help me out?

Put your hands right about there.

Would you help me out?

Put your hands right about there.

And now I need another. Would you help
me out? Come on up here.

Put your hands right about there.

Perfect. Okay, excellent. Can everybody
bend down on one knee? Can everybody

come down on one knee just like this?

Perfect. Rest your palms on top of the
table. Do not push down on the table. Do

not lift up on the table. But on the
count of three, I want you to slowly,

slowly stand up.

One, two, three.

Slowly, slowly stand up. Keep your palms
on top of the table. What do you think

about that?

Isn't that amazing?

Believe it or not, that table will
follow me wherever I go. Check this out.

walk to this side of the stage, that
table will actually follow me. Just go

the table. Just go with it. You are
doing perfectly.

If I walk to this side of the stage,
check this out. That table will follow

Right over here.

Perfect. You are doing perfectly. If I
walk back to the center, it will follow

me right there.

Table stop.

Table stop.

Okay, this is the coolest part. Watch
this. If I walk around that table, that

table will actually start to spin. Just
go with the table. Just go with it, and

that table will start to spin.

And it will spin faster and faster and
faster.

And table.

Slow down, table, slow down, and take it
down, table down, table down,

table down. What do you think about
that?

How about a hand to all my volunteers?
Everybody just go ahead and take your

seat. Thank you very much for coming up.
Thank you very much. Merry Christmas.

And now some festive magic by a charming
lady with her own touch.

for shuffling a deck of cards. Here is
Alexandra Duvivier.

Thank you.

So sweet. You're so sweet. I propose you
something here.

Let's start off with a card trick.

It's very easy to follow because I have
only blue back cards.

But it's a memory test as well. You have
to remember the only card I have, the

eight of clubs. Let me show you. The
eight of clubs.

To be frank, I can show you another one.
I do have two eights of clubs. That's

right. Because you insist, I can show
you three as well. And because you are

just wide here, I can make it with four
or so.

Just to be sure, what was the color of
the backs? Do you remember the color of

the backs?

Oh, you follow. That's so sweet. But
that was before.

Because now it's more, let's say,
reddish. Maybe you remember the faces of

cards?

No, it was blue backwards.

I am not sure to be very clear tonight.

Okay, but you know what? Let's sum up
the situation.

I do have one eight of clubs, but I
didn't tell you it was red.

Come on, I have secrets. I'm a magician.
I can't tell you everything.

You know that, of course. I don't
remember if I've already shown you that

because if I didn't, it's a pretty nice
trick to follow, isn't it?

But you're right. Too complicated. Let's
stop that. Okay.

Thank you so much.

With his own kind of holiday spirit,
next is the magician with the perpetual

in us all. Here is Ed Alonzo.

The

impossible

is easy for the masterful manipulations
of Murray Satchin.

When you're invited to a Christmas
party, do you have a problem thinking of

to bring the host?

Well, it does not seem to be a problem
for Murray Socha.

Watch this.

What's up?

Merry Christmas, you guys.

So the favorite thing I like about
Christmas is dessert. I love the food at

Christmas, don't you?

And I have my favorite dessert. So
what's your favorite dessert?

Pumpkin pie.

Pumpkin pie. What's yours?

Pecan pie. You know, pecan pie, my mom
made the best pecan pie.

I want you to help me. What's your name?

Marcella. Marcella, come on up here. Big
hand for Marcella. Come on, sweetheart.

Come on up.

How are you?

Excellent. Come on over here. Stand on
my left, all right?

So we're going to do some baking.

Are you good at baking? Yeah.

Excellent. So I brought some
ingredients. I have pecans. Take the lid

Great. And I'll just put that over there
and here.

Yeah, right?

And then I have, here's some raisins.

It makes it a little bit sweeter.

Perfect. See, raisins, yeah. Okay.

And then I have flour.

Let's open that up.

And then I didn't bring an oven, so I
brought a portable oven.

So, sounds good.

So, take that.

Put the flour in the pan.

Oh, look at you with flair. Look at you.
Oh, no.

That's perfect.

Oh, okay, you do. All right. Whose show
is it? Seriously?

All right.

And then here, take that. There you go.
Put that in there.

Oh, look at you go.

Nice.

Excellent. There, you want to do the
same thing you just did, a little shake.

Good.

There you go. And then the pecans, of
course, you always do pecans.

Do your same thing.

Good. Great.

Look at that, huh?

Okay, so here's what you're going to do.

Take this, and I'm going to do a little
of this. Just a little. You need a

little. Just not much.

This is my own added.

Now, whatever you do, do not try this at
home, all right? This is my own little

thing, all right?

And then I want you to take these
matches.

All right. I want you to light a match
and then drop it here.

And then we're going to cook your pecan
pie because that's how I roll.

Right now?

Right now. We'll wait for a week. No, of
course. Yeah, let's do it. All right,

let's go.

Here we go. Yeah, let's drop it in. Look
at that.

Isn't that great?

And if you do this, check this out. Like
this.

There's your pecan pie just like that.

That is for you. I'll take this.

Marcel, everybody.

Now, I've heard that if you've ever been
to Paris for Christmas, which I have

not, you will never want to celebrate it
anywhere else again.

So, with a taste of French charm, here
is T2.

Every Christmas, fathers around the
world get one of two presents, either a

loud necktie or a pair of very loud
socks.

Well, our next performer from Canada
seems to have the exact same problem.

Here is Chris Funk.

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.

So, I love Christmas. I love socks, and
as you can see, I love Christmas socks.

I couldn't decide which ones I was going
to wear for you today, so I'm going to

have one of you help me pick that out.

I need someone to help. Hi, what is your
name?

Tatine. Tatine. Can you join me up on
stage? Round of applause for Tatine,

everybody. Come on.

Just stand right over there.

All right.

Tatine, this is how it's going to work.
You are going to help me decide which

sock I'm going to wear, okay?

I've got socks on my left and my right.
I want you to name left or right.

Left. Left.

Wow. Okay. We're going to eliminate the
left ones right there. Boom. Gone. Into

the hamper. Ready for laundry.

On the right here, we have odds and
evens. I want you to name odds or evens.

Odd. Odd. Do you want me to keep the odd
or get rid of the odd?

Get rid.

Get rid of the odds. So that's one gone,
keeping two. Three gone, we're keeping

four. Just like that.

We have two socks left touching. What I
want you to do is grab one, whichever

one you feel.

attracted to the most, I want you to
take one sock, if you would, please get

of here.

He didn't actually literally have to get
out of here.

Get back up here, you turkey.

Out of all the socks that you picked,
out of all the socks that

you picked, you were left with this one.
That's the one that you gravitated to.

That's crazy. Check this out. It's a
perfect match.

For my bare ankle.

Huh? But it's also a perfect match for
this one right here.

Tatin, thank you.

Boom. Give it up for Tatin, everyone.

Our next magician spent his childhood in
Canada, where snowy holiday seasons are

almost guaranteed.

And he knows all about the magic of
Christmas.

Here now is Greg Fruin, along with
Carolers Incorporated.

Well, not too long ago, I met a young
man who had never seen snow.

He said to me, what does it look like?

So I said, look, you can get me a
napkin.

I'm going to show you something really
cool. So he ran off and got a napkin,

this is what I showed him.

Yep, that's the same reaction he had.

But I told him this wasn't a real
snowflake. I told him real snowflakes

all different shapes.

Real snowflakes come in all different
sizes.

But real snow is made from water.

Thank you.

Where does he go?

Tommy wins.

Amazes you when he returns.

And now a perennial favorite on the
Vegas Strip, a man of many surprises

very special Christmas ornament.

Here. is Tommy Wynn.

Well, you can't always find the
mistletoe at the season's festive

it really doesn't matter to this
magician. Watch out. Here is Ana de

Merry Christmas, everyone. It's so
lovely to be here.

I would do a card trick, but I wanted to
do something a little bit more festive.

Now, you're familiar with mistletoes
around Christmas, right?

one to kiss, right?

Sir, hi.

What's your name?

Joshua.

Do you mind helping me? Are you single?

I'm going to blow you a kiss.

Ready?

What do you have there?

Okay, let's go down into the audience
and meet our master from Peru.

Here now is the fast -talking, quick
-moving George Iglesias.

Hello, everybody!

Well, it's Christmas time, my favorite
time of the year, and of course, it's

time to get some presents, right? One of
my favorite games is this, the Rubik's

Cube. Are you familiar with it? Yeah?

Have you solved it?

Yeah, I know it takes time. It takes
time. But, but, but, we can do something

really cool. I mean, I know presents are
very important during Christmas. We're

expecting them. But it's way much better
to share the presents with everybody.

So it is way much better to share. So
you want chocolate? Now you get

you pass it around.

Thank you very much, guys.

Share the love of Christmas.

From Las Vegas, here are Jared.

and Roger.

Merry Christmas!

Can you hold this please?

Pleasure.

Thank you so much. Merry Christmas.

This is the time of year when we like to
prepare a list of wishes for Santa.

Now, we know he's overloaded with
requests, so it's up to his assistant to

with the delivery.

Well, check it out. Here is one of his
assistants, Nathan Burton.

How's everybody doing?

You guys ready for Christmas?

Now, it's very important. I need to
volunteer, but it's got to be someone

totally normal off the street. What's
your name?

Eva. How you doing, Eva?

Normal. Everybody's normal today. Great.
How you doing? Oh, who are you?

Elf Amy.

Elf Amy. Give Elf Amy a big hand. Come
on.

Everybody say bye, Elf Amy.

Bye.

Next up, the quick moves of Jonathan
Pendragon and Nathan Fenn.

Magic is the combination of perfect
timing and unexpected surprise.

Well, both of these elements are the
trademark of Jonathan Pendragon and

Fenn.

So the Christmas tradition is when you
go shopping, there'll be all these

places where they have these little
stands, and they'll have a pail and a

And they'll ask you to drop a little bit
of money in the pail for charity.

And we all do it. It's a wonderful
tradition.

Tonight, we're going to do it magically.

If I need help from someone in the
audience, would you mind?

What's your name?

Hi, Tiffany.

Go,

Tiffany. I want you to hold this. Hold
it from the ring.

And just like that, and we shall begin.

Are you ready?

Watch. Coin number one.

In the air.

And there it is. And in my hand.

Now watch.

Up and down.

Ha ha!

Thank you.

Number two.

We find the coin.

In the air.

Like this. I place it into my hand. I
throw it into the air. Up.

Yes.

Third and last point. Here we go.

There.

No. For charity.

Up we go.

And up.

And up.

A hand for Tiffany. Come on.

Let's see if we can get some help in
writing a letter to Santa.

Here to help is Chicago's Bill Cook.

Thank you very much. It is the most
wonderful time of the year. And without

fail, we have all made requests of the
big man.

And I am no exception. Except mine, I
wanted to make sure he saw. So I wrote

list nice and big.

For him. Dear Santa, I've been very good
this year, so I have a couple of

requests. I'd like a new bike, a new
laptop, a new car, make it fast, a

cash.

It's very important.

Bring lots of puppy food for the puppy.
If it's a puppy, we've got to get a lot

of food.

My sports teams, all of them have to
win.

Clothing, world peace, it'd be nice.

I know it's a lot to ask, and I've been
really good this year. And being from

Chicago... I do know a thing or two
about bribery. I threw in a little

to seal the deal. I'm not saying bribery
worked, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Well, it seems that many members of our
audience tonight have actually dressed

for the season, wearing their Santa
hats.

And, of course, that seems to have given
some inspiration to the imagination of,

once again, Michael Turpin.

How are we all doing, Masters of the
Wizard fans?

You guys having fun?

Awesome.

Well, can I borrow your hat?

Actually, you know what?

Borrow all your hats.

Wow. You're having fun?

Good. Good. All right. Great.

All right. I got them. Perfect.

Perfect. Perfect. We got them.

Check this out.

In the famous Christmas poem, The Night
Before Christmas, the children were

dreaming about sugar plums dancing in
their heads.

Well, our next performer from Paris
remembers her favorite Christmas

Once again, here is Alexandra Duvivier.

So, so sweet.

Before beginning the show, I'm so sorry,
bad timing for you, but I have to do

the tea time break. It's okay for you?
Yes, okay.

I like your spontaneous reactions.

Okay, so let's see.

Because I'm French, so I like balanced
diet.

Let's see if I have some connoisseur
tonight.

Yeah, barbecue, marshmallows on the
beach. Come on.

You know that? Oh, yeah.

This is very different, and I'm sure you
have that.

What are we? We call that crocodile.

This is very, very different. Do you
have dude in the tape?

Huh? You know?

No, this is, no. Those are not licorice.
Those are cola strings.

See, I had to come all the way from
France to show you those cola strings.

Thank me.

Yeah, this is very different.

This is a very tasty one. It is bubble
gum. You know, gum. Ah, I like that.

It's, you know, childhood memories.

And this is the very famous, you know,
chocolate and caramel.

I can hear. I am not alone tonight. I am
so thrilled. Thank you very much. And

to have a perfect digestion, you know, I
have the lemon sweets to digest

properly.

I'm French.

I'm French.

Okay, so maybe I can keep all the sweets
away because you don't like to like

sweets. Yes, yes, we like. Okay, okay,
because you insist.

You know, that in magic you have to be,
how do you say that? Very detail

-oriented. So, now... I need someone who
has a doctorate in candy.

Madame, can you please help me for this
job, would you?

Is it about candy yet?

Oh, I picked them perfectly. You can
please join me on stage and go drink.

Madame.

So nice to meet you, Madame. Thank you.
I hope you speak French.

I don't, don't worry. Okay, so now,
Madame.

Can you please grab the bag with both
hands and shake it gently, but I insist,

magically.

That was perfect.

This is exactly what I needed.

Let me see what you have done in a few
seconds. It was pretty fast, wasn't it?

Yes, yes. It was magical.

I hope so.

You're amazing.

I knew that.

Because the lady said to herself,

It could be really fun.

That's really fun. To put all the sweets
on the cola string.

Yeah. You can be proud. Grab that for
me, my dear. And of course, there is

the paper of the bubble gum left. That's
pretty normal.

And for the tall ones of the back, you
are wondering what's inside the back.

Come on. There is nothing inside the
back.

That's why you can applaud my lovely
assistant.

There's one here that always pleases
everyone.

Well, let's go to center stage and see
what's in this special package. Once

again, Nathan Burton.

Next, laugh and the unbelievable talent
of Les Arnold and Dazzle.

Two of our favorites join our holiday
celebration now.

Tonight, more is left, but always
dazzling. That makes sense, because here

Les Arnold and Dazzle.

Cha -ching!

The Jingle Bells

Sometimes the most cherished gifts are
homemade presents because of the

touch that goes into them. Well, to
illustrate this, here's Nathan Fan.

That's me!

I'm Ron!

Happy holidays! So I wanted to do
something very, very special for you

tonight, so I wanted to print a big,
giant greeting card for you all, but my

printer only prints little tiny things,
so I had to print it out in batches.

So I have the greeting card, it's just
kind of...

Yeah, there's all these, like, there's
the bells over there, and then there's

part of the word.

There's part of the other word. Yeah,
so, like, it was going to be a big,

really nice card, and then it didn't
quite work out that way.

But, luckily, I just figured out that
since I'm a magician, I should probably

just be able to take all these pieces
and kind of just make a nice, big old

for you folks here.

Season's greetings, everybody!

Time to bring back the man on everyone's
all -time favorite list.

Truly the man of the season. Here is
Greg Foon.

Are you guys ready?

Well, that's it for our Masters of
Illusion holiday special from our family

magicians, along with the All -American
Voice Chorus, as well as the Carolers

Incorporated. It has been an absolute
pleasure being with you tonight to share

the magic of this special season.

I'm Dean Cain, wishing all of you a very
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New

Year. Thank you so much, and good night.
