- 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 rumbling)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(explosion rumbling)
(audience cheering)
All right.
Step into a night of pure enchantment
where reality is just a suggestion.
I'm Dean Cain, and this is "Masters of Illusion".
(audience cheering)
Now magic has the power to transport us
to a place where the impossible becomes possible.
Tonight, prepare to be dazzled by illusions

everything you thought you knew.
I am thrilled to be here and be your guide
on this incredible journey, so, without further ado.

- Hey. - Hey, how are ya buddy?
We're just opening the show up.

(tense music)
- Yes.
- [Jonathan] Will you grab it?
There it is.
- Ah, thank you ma'am, thank you.
Yes, here it is. - Okay, thank you.
Now Dean, inside of that, is something very special,
and I'll tell you what that is in a moment.
- Okay.
- I brought with me a book,
it's from one of my favorite authors, Joe R. Lansdale.
Okay, I would like you to take that book,
I'll take the package and put it on the table.
You can take the book.
I would like you to flip through that book.
- Just flip along?
- You can go to any page you want.
- I think this one.
No wait!
This one.
- Okay, now look at the page number.
(audience laughs)
- Which side? - Doesn't matter, your choice.
- Got it, I got it. - What page are you on?
- 55.
- Do you want to change your mind?
- Yes.
- Okay. - No I don't!
- Oh my god. - See?
(audience laughs)
- Okay, are you happy?
- Yes, 55, I like. - All right.
Look at, (Jonathan laughs).
- I don't know if it's good or bad.
- You're concentrating on that page now.
- I am now.
- I want you to go to the first word on that page.
- Okay.
(Dean laughs)
- 55, right, that's
what you said? - Yes, yes sir.
- All right, first word on that page, look at that word,
remember that word, spell it in your head, okay?
Look at the word, look at the other page,
the other page you didn't go to,
it's a different word. - Okay, yes.
- Of course it is.
What about the next page, different word?
- Yes, of course. - Yes, that's how books work.
- Yes, thank you! - But ask, all right good,
(audience laughs)
so you've got the word in mind?
- Oh yes, I do. - All right,
you can close it up.
- Okay. - I wanna tell you
what is in here.
(tense music continues)
- Okay. - This is something
that you may remember from when you were a child,
I certainly do.
- Okay.
- I'm gonna open it up.
I put something.
- The size of those scissors.
- Oh yes.
- Okay. (audience laughs)
- Now this is what may hurt.
- Yes that's. - Okay, all right.
I'm gonna open it for you.
- Okay, thank you. - Inside of this envelope
is something from when we were a kid,
and I put something on that.
Dean.
You were thinking of a word.
- Yes.
- I want you to look at them,
and tell us the word that you are thinking of.
- Right now? - Yes.
(tense music continues)
- [Dean] Beside.
(audience clapping)
- Dean.
- That's not right, that is not right,
that's very very wrong.
Well, you know what?
Let's see what other wonders await us tonight,
what do you say?
(audience cheering)
We'll go outta here, let's go.
I'm takin' it, I'm takin' this with me.
(explosion rumbling)
Let's welcome to the stage, the incredible Maxence Vire.
(audience cheering)
(light music)
- Hello America, welcome!
Thank you, thank you, thank.
(audience laughs)
My name is Maxence from France,
and because I'm from France,
I bring with me my famous fromage, fromage,
they call it Camembert.
That smells so good.
(audience laughs)
And you know why?
Someone can win my Camembert tonight.
And this is very easy game, you need to find exactly
what card I'm thinking in my mind, now.
So, what's your name?
- Chris.
- Chris, will you join me on stage?
Make some noise for Chris, please.
(audience clapping)
(light music continues)
Chris, could you show me
any people you like?
- Her.
- And it is, imagine in front of you, a deck of card,
you know in the deck of card, we have 52 cards,
forget the jokers, so 52 cards.
And we have the picture cards and the number card,
picture is Jack, queen, king, and number one, two, three,
blah, blah, blah.
Just tell me, picture or number, picture or number?
- Picture.
- Picture, you're sure?
Okay, we took the picture, and the number,
I throw it in the air.
(audience laughs)
So, now we have the picture, yes?
Could you show me another people on stage,
on the audience, show me a new one people?
Oh, Chris, okay, Chris, show anyone, I don't care.
Yeah, of course.
- Her!
- Her, ladies, we have the picture.
And you know, inside the picture in the card,
we have the red and black, you prefer red or black?
- Black.
- Okay, black.
Tell me Chris, another people.
(tense music)
- Him.
- Him? - Oh, her.
- Okay.
(audience laughs)
We have the black picture now, we have the jack,
the king, and the queen, which one you prefer,
jack, queen, or king?
- Queen.
- Queen.
Perfect, we continue with the queen black, are you sure?
You can to change.
No, congratulation, you don't believe me,
but I think in my mind, exactly a queen too, yeah!
(audience clapping)
That's crazy, yes?
(tense music continues)
You don't believe me.
A queen yes?
So, we have the two queen, yes,
but you don't believe me, but you will watch something.
Watch correctly, one, two, and three,
it's completely gone.
And now we have cards,
(audience groaning)
many many cards.
And please, say stop when you want Chris,
very fast, say stop.
- Stop.
- This one?
- Yes.
- Okay great, this is your card.
So imagine, a queen, black in your mind, okay?
You fold it, now you have it in your mind, yes?
And the rest you shred.
You chose this card, but you could chose this card,
but you don't say stop here, you know why?
Because it's a piece of cheese.
(audience laughs)
I know, I know.
(audience clapping)
This one, you could say this one,
but it's a piece of cheese too.
(audience laughs)
This one, it's a piece of Camembert too.
Oh, this card is a piece of Camembert.
You came to check it, you came to smell it.
(audience laughs)
Piece of Camembert.
But you stop it exactly on this card,
but, I forgot to ask you,
now you have a queen in your mind, black queen,
but I forgot, it's a queen of clubs, or queen of spade?
It's completely up to you.
(tense music continues)
- You want me to tell you?
- Yeah, of course.
(audience laughs)
- It's spade.
- Queen of spade or clubs?
- Spade.
- Speak louder.
- Spade!
- Great.
(audience laughs)
(tense music continues)
Suspense.
(audience laughs)
You don't believe me,
but, you choose the random card together,
and at the end we have the queen of spade.
You don't believe me, but, I have one card,
and it's exactly the queen of spade.

come on up, okay, great.

Oh, and you're showing me the time,
that's really nice, what's your name?
- [Matt] Matt.

You too, what's your name, sir?
- [Howard] Howard.
- Hi Howard, very nice to meet you.
Come on over here, thank you so much.
And Matt, hi Matt.
Come on over here.
Very very good, thank you guys very much.
This is awesome.
Thank you for allowing me to use your technology,
that's very very.
Matt, may I use your technology first?
(light music continues)
Great, yes, it's a very nice car.
I'm afraid not everyone's gonna be able to see that though
because there's blinders on it.
There's blinder things.
I'll tell you what,
you can swap out phones with someone else,
that way we don't have to do much.
Who does not have blinders on?
Do you not have blinders on your phone sir?
Great, can I?
Here, put that in your pocket, great, it disappeared.
(audience laughs)
No, you can stay here.
Do you mind if we borrow your phone for this?
- That's fine.
- Okay, we'll give it back sometime.
- Don't make any long distance calls.
(audience laughs)
- I made 'em all already.
Truth.
No, his only.
Like this, good.
Okay, I'm gonna open the calcu, 90,
which is my age, thank you!
(audience laughs)
Crazy.
(audience clapping)
(light music continues)
I look really good for my age, yes.
Is, we don't need that, so we're just gonna put this here.
And I want you to watch.
I'm gonna put a bunch of sevens onto the phone, watch.
One, and one, and one, and this one.
(audience clapping)
It gets better!
This one on, on,
oh look, they all went away,
probably because I accidentally hit it.
On, this one, that, and just like this.
(light music continues)
Gone.
(audience clapping)
All right Matt, I have a confession to make.
- [Matt] Okay.
- This is called technology,
and anyone who wants to can get rid of them
by just swiping like that's all you have to do.
(audience laughs)
Look, try it, it's a sensation, it's really fun.
Isn't that great?
Yeah, what's crazy about it is if I do this,
you can't do it anymore,
(light music continues)
because I'm a magician.
(audience laughs)
(audience clapping)
However, what I can do is just go ahead and get rid of that,
and I'm gonna make both of these phones.
- Howard.
- Howard, thank you so much.
I'm gonna make both of these phones connect, they did it.
Really, I'm just gonna open your calculator,
that's all we're gonna do.
(audience laughs)
Go ahead and look over there for me, yeah, just.
Perfect, great, thank you.
(audience laughs)
(Adam laughs) He's very tall, I am not.
And open the calculator.
Howard, would you mind giving me a single digit number?
- Eight.
- Eight is great, I love that, it even rhymes,
thank you Howard.
(audience laughs)
Perfect, I'm gonna give you that phone,
I'm gonna take this phone.
(Adam beeping) That's official technology phone sounds,
very very true.
You can see four eights, and no eights.
Could you just hold it like this for everyone to see?
I'm gonna take one eight,
and I'm gonna throw it onto the phone,
(audience moaning)
just like that, so everyone can see that one eight
has traveled onto the phone, impossibly Howard.
Let's try it again Matt, hold it right there, like this.
Take one off, and throw it, onto the phone, like this.
Now it is even.
(audience clapping)
(light music continues)
Just like the, we'll try, oh Howard, you wanna try?
- Sure.
- It's very very fun, I promise.
How about, I'll be Matt, and you be me?
- [Howard] Okay.
- Great.
So all you have to do is swipe that eight,
and then throw it.
(audience moaning)
(audience clapping)
That was different, that was good.
You know what?
You've never done this before, that was very good.
At least you hit the screen,
it could've gone everywhere, we don't know.
(audience laughs)
It's very true.
Could you hold this for one second?
Because I do have to correct this little incident.
So, I will go ahead and bring it back down,
but just in case,
I'm gonna go ahead and shaky, shaky, shaky, like this,
so that it kind of looks like it's back with the other ones.
(audience clapping)
Oh, I appreciate the applause, because that's not even real.
All of the eights are just actually up at the top there
which is really crazy, they can't even.
But you know what I will do,
is I will just bring them back down like this,
I'll tie an invisible string
and I'll just pull them like that
so that they just come right back down,
we'll cut the cord, just like that,
so they can stay exactly like this.
(audience clapping)
And, I'll tell you what, we'll add more eights here
so that we have three and three again,
so that it's even so we can see them travel even more
Can you hold that one more time?
And I'm just gonna slide it like this
to make it slide right onto the phone,
so that everyone can see that it slides over.
We'll do it again, Matt, watch.
Look at this, stand even farther back, it slides.
It's crazy!
(audience clapping)
I don't know, I just work here.
Could you please press the clear button?
And could you please press the clear button?
(light music continues)
- Okay.
- Awesome, it's like you do it everyday,
that's fantastic, good.
(audience laughs)
Hold that for a second.
This one's yours?
I believe so, all right, good.
(audience laughs)
They look very much the same.
We are going to put a giant number onto that,
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
like the code on my luggage,
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
it's a "Spaceballs" joke by the way, yes.
(audience laughs)
Still can't use that, even in the live show.
So, this, great, can you hold that again?
Watch the big number go away, it goes onto the phone,
(upbeat music)
and then it comes off of the phone like this
and goes back onto the other phone.
(audience cheering)

and the United States.
Please welcome, the brilliant, Jeki Yoo.
(audience cheering)
- Yeah!
After I started doing magic, I began entering
magic competitions about two years later,
and I quickly realized
that when I needed to come up with the origin of magic.
So I started brainstorming fresh ideas,
however, I often found myself forgetting them.
Which led me to jot them down,
to ensure I didn't lose any of them.
I just scribble on my phone, or notepad,
even on napkins at cafe.
Sometimes I'd write down on my palm.
One day, while writing down a napkin, I had this idea.
I slowly put the napkin into my hand,
and squeezing it gently,
while imagining it taking on a rounder shape.
And then, it transformed into a light bird.
Yeah, idea bird.
The idea written on the paper
became a glowing concept, pretty cool, right?
The funny thing about ideas
is that sometimes I think I've come up with genius idea
that could change the world.
In those moments, everything seems clear,
and I can visualize impact it could have,
but the next day, it almost seems like yesterday's trash.
Yeah, the fake bird with before and the napkin,
it's too simple.
It's so funny
how they seem so underwhelming the next morning.
In those cases,
I gotta rethink and figure out what means tweaking.
So, I tried again.
I tried again.
I hide the bird in my hand,
and I put the napkin inside, see?
And once again, it transforms into a light bird.
Yeah, I go through the same process,
identifying and resolving the issues one by one.
But, as you know, they don't come out perfect.
Yeah, you have to smooth out the rough spots
and cut out the unnecessary parts,
and eventually, they develop into something worthwhile.
(audience clapping)
Sometimes it's smallest tweak
that makes the biggest difference.
(exciting music)
Creativity is journey,
and every step, no matter how small,
brings you close to something amazing.
(audience moaning)
(audience cheering)
Thank you.
(explosion rumbling)
- Prepare to be amazed by an illusionist
who takes magic to new heights.
Known for his stunning illusions and seamless performances,
he's here to blur the lines
between what's real and what's impossible.
Let's give a warm welcome to Nethaniel Segal.
(audience cheering)
(energetic music)
- I love studying how the brain works.
I happen to have a math degree from UC Berkeley,
and, theater minor, thank you.
That just means I'm very nerdy.
(audience laughs)
But, there is this concept
of a left brain and a right brain,
you might be familiar with it.
Left brain is generally more logical, analytical,
and the right brain
is a little bit more creative and emotional.
So, I wanted to see if we can try an experiment
with all of you.
If I can get our left side of the audience,
please stand up, actually, if I can get everyone,
yeah, please, stand up, perfect.
And let's see, hi, here, we'll throw this out to you.
Nice catch, perfect.
And, if I can get our right side of the audience,
please stand up, fantastic.
And let's see, here, I'll throw that out to you.
Nice, yes, almost yes, I think it's good.
(audience laughs)
We'll find out.
And actually, I'll have you all actually have a seat
at this point, perfect.
(light music continues)
And, let's see, what is your name?
- London.
- London, you will represent our left brain,
our more logical side.
I'm gonna have you think of a, just a number,
maybe larger than one, less than 10.
You got one?
Perfect, keep that in your brain.
And hi, what is your name?
- Mia.
- Mia, Mia, you will represent our right brain,
our creative side.
I want you to think of a shape,
actually, a suit from a deck of cards,
so that's either clubs or hearts, spades or diamonds.
Do you have one? - Yes.
- Perfect.
Now, this concept of a left brain and a right brain,
has sort of been debated by scientists,
and might be, more of a theory than anything,
but, I thought we could perhaps
try to connect our two audience members here today.
So, London, if I can have you say
nice and loud, your number.
- Five.
- [Nethaniel] And Mia, your suit?
- Heart.
- Pop quiz everyone, what does that make?
- Five of hearts. - Hearts.
- Inside this envelope is another envelope,
inside this envelope is another envelope,
(audience laughs)
inside this envelope is another envelope,
inside this envelope is another envelope,
and inside this envelope,
(light music continues)
is one card.
London, you had the number five, yes?
Mia, you had hearts?
That makes the five of hearts.
(audience cheering)
Thank you very much, thank you so much!
(explosion rumbling)
- [Dean] Coming up, mind to mind reads a couple's thoughts,

(drums playing)
(audience laughs)
(explosion rumbling)
- You won't wanna miss it, stick around.
(upbeat music)
(audience cheering)
(explosion rumbling)
Tonight's performers are more than just magicians,
they are mind readers, illusionists,
and masters of the impossible.
Please welcome, the awe inspiring Mind 2 Mind.
(audience cheering)
(light music)
- Marina and I,
come from totally different parts of the world,
Marina's from Ukraine, and I'm from the UK.
And we just so happen to meet seven years ago in Dubai,
where we discovered that we had a connection
and our lives changed completely.
But we also realized something else,
(light music continues)
that it's not just us.
You see, we believe that we're all connected.
- And tonight, we would like to see if someone here
can connect in a way
that goes beyond what we think is possible.
- For this to work, we need a couple,
a couple who are, in love.
Please raise that hand if that could be you.
Okay, I see somebody, and, slightly reluctant there.
(audience laughs) (Marina laughs)
Do you mind joining us?
- [Marina] Yeah?
- Give them a big round of applause.
(audience clapping)
Have a stand here guys.
Hey, how you doing?
I'm James. - Gideon.
- Gideon, nice to meet you, Gideon.
- Hannah.
- Hannah, nice to meet you, Hannah.
How you doing guys? - Good.
- How long have you been together?
- Two-and-a-half years.
- Two-and-a-half years, okay.
- So, guys, when you first met, how was it for you?
Was it love at first sight,
or more of a slow and steady type of connection,
how was it for you?
- I'd say, a little bit of love at first sight.
- [James] Yeah?
- Of course.
- And same question to you.
- Yes, love at first sight.
- Yeah, okay. - Oh my goodness.
Oh that's so.
- When you know you know, right?
(audience clapping)
Gideon, could you come and join me over here please?
- Hannah, can I have you right here?
(light music continues)
And, I wanna ask you to think of any country in the world,
and I really need you to focus on it,
because in a moment Hannah,
I'm gonna touch your forehead just like this,
and as soon as I do, you will close your eyes,
and say this country in your mind,
but please, do not say anything out loud.
(dramatic music)
- Gideon, you have the hardest job,
you're gonna be receiving this thought.
When this happens,
I'm also gonna touch you on the forehead right there,
at that point, close your eyes,
and put your fingers in your ears
in such a way that you can't hear anything,
that's very important, it should just be you, your thoughts,
and hopefully, someone else's.
(Marina laughs)
You ready?
- Yeah.
- Face the front for me.
- Hannah, are you ready?
Close your eyes now.
- Gideon, you can close your eyes now.
And now, put your fingers in your ears,
so that you can't hear anything.
(dramatic music continues)
Gideon, be honest, did you get something?
- Yeah.
- Tell us, what it was like for you,
did you feel something, hear something, or see something?
- I heard something.
- Really?
I'm gonna ask you to write it down.
As I was saying earlier, to Marina,
if things like this don't work,
all it means is that you guys
aren't supposed to be together.
No I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
(audience laughs)
(James laughs)
Please write it there nice and big for me.
- Sorry for my handwriting.
- That's great.
(dramatic music continues)
- Hannah, now for the first time, please tell everyone,
what was that country you were thinking of?
- Germany.
- Germany.
- He's done it guys, Germany!
(audience cheering)
Proof of an impossible connection.
Guys, you've done it.
(explosion rumbling)
- [Dean] Coming up, just Joseph R�ohm
breaks through solid glass.
- What I'm abut to show you
will puzzle you for the rest of your lives.
- [Dean] Plus, Ed Alonzo does an explosive trick
using his pet chicken.
- I will attempt to shoot her out of a cannon
into this empty box.
(drums playing)
- You won't wanna miss it.
(audience laughs)
Stick around.
(explosion rumbling)
(upbeat music)
(audience cheering)
(upbeat music)
(audience cheering)
(explosion rumbling)
Get ready for a performance
that blends humor, magic, and mind blowing illusions.
He's a master of his craft,
having entertained audiences
on some of the biggest stages around the world.
Please, give it up for the phenomenal, Joseph R�ohm.
(upbeat music)
(audience cheering)
- What I have here is a solid
two foot by two foot pane of glass.
Now I have an old science teacher
who tried to convince me
that it's not a solid, it's a liquid, right.
Some scientists say it's both a solid and a liquid,
some argue that and say it's neither.
What I'm about to show you will puzzle you
for the rest of your lives.
It baffles scientists,
it even, fools, wizards.
(upbeat music)
Stacie and I have had one argument,
who gets to twirl the ribbon.
(audience laughs)
She won.
(upbeat music continues)
Listen.
(glass clinking)
(audience moaning)
(audience clapping)
Listen.

- This performer is no stranger to this stage.
He's been a fan favorite on "Masters of Illusion" for years.
Known for his hilarious antics and mind bending magic,
he is always a crowd pleaser.
Please welcome back, the incredible Ed Alonzo.
(audience cheering)
(light music)
- I'm so excited to be here with my little pal, Hen Solo.
(audience laughs)
Now, I ask her if she would walk across a tight rope
over burning flames for the audience, she's refused,
(audience laughs)
I guess she's too chicken.
So, instead, I will attempt too shoot her out of a canon
into this empty box.
You know what, I think we're gonna need a bigger canon.
(audience laughs)
I've got an idea.
Music please!
(jazzy music)
(audience laughs)
(jazzy music continues)
(handle rattling)
(jazzy music continues)
(canon rumbling)
(audience cheering)
(triumphant music)
(explosion rumbling)
- What an incredible night of magic.
We have seen
some of the most mind blowing illusions and performances
that leave us all wondering how they did it.
We hope you had as much fun watching
as we did bringing it to you.
I'm Dean Cain, and we'll see you next time for more magic,
right here, on "Masters of Illusion".
(audience cheering)
Well done!
Well done!
