Meet the Masters of Illusion.

Welcome to Masters of illusion.

Tonight we have an amazing show.

The world's greatest illusionists on stage to

Is it a portrait of a politician or is it just

another liar?

Reality and perception, not always the same and now it's

time to meet our Masters of Illusion.

Now, here is a comedy team from Scotland.

Let me warn you.

They can be dangerous.

Please welcome, Barry and Stuart.

(APPLAUSE)

BARRY: You know, after we've done our magic,

a lot of people say to us, how on Earth am I meant to

get this blood out of my carpet?

STUART: We ruined out kid's birthday parties.

(LAUGHS)

BARRY: Often people say to us our magic is a bit dark

and also, what else did they used?

STUART: Unfriendly.

BARRY: Unfriendly.

So, we've decided to come here on your American TV and

change that reputation once and for all.

STUART: What we want to do, thanks very much for that

smattering of an applause, we want to give one of you

in the audience the chance to win a prize and that

person is going to be...

The girl with the bright hair there,

you look perfect for this.

Give here a nice hand as she makes here

way onto the stage.

BARRY: Come this way. What's your name?

GRETA: Greta. BARRY: Greta.

GRETA: Yes.

BARRY: This is Greta everyone.

STUART: Greta we've got 6 cards here,

each with a prize written on the back.

They're all different prizes.

BARRY: We're going to generate which prize you

get, completely at random, using a dice and a cup.

Put the dice in there, put your hand over it and you

give it a shake.

Any time that you like, you can stop shaking,

have a look at the number that s on the top of the

dice and shout out loud so that everyone,

even the guys in the back can her what you ve got.

So, one.

And you would win prize number one.

STUART: Okay, simple. Basic rules.

BARRY: Makes sense? GRETA: Mhm.

BARRY: Give it a shake. STUART: Good shake.

BARRY: Have a look. GRETA: Four.

BARRY: Let s see. Four.

STUART: Four. Greta, you ve won a hug.

BARRY: Okay. Let s go on then.

Give me a hug.

STUART: Not just one, but two hugs.

Greta, my hug s second. Thanks very much.

On to your seat.

BARRY: I think we just salvage our reputation.

DEAN: Coming up, Sos and Victoria,

Murray SawChuck, Michael Turco and Rick Thomas.

MURRAY: You re going to love this.

First prize I got just for you my friend is

can of beans. Yay!

And you re mocking me, alright.

Also, I got pantyhose, hello.

And hand cream.

Preparation, ummm, you know what it is.

Okay. So, big show, big suit.

Alright. So, here s what s going to happen.

I need someone to go and help me for one second.

I need a lady who wants to come up and help me.

alright people. What s your name again.

PHIL: Phil.

MURRAY: Phil. Good memory.

That is nice. Alright.

So, Phil, here s what s going to happen, right.

When I tell you to, I m going to count one to three,

pull the cloth.

When I pull the cloth, the watch is going to disappear.

Now, if the watch doesn t disappear,

you get one of the prizes.

Not all three, because I got two more shows this year and

that s pretty exciting.

So, I m going to count one to three,

I m going to pull it.

When I pull it, your watch is going to disappear.

When I crank on this, do let go.

Because if not, it could be a toggle war and

we look ridiculous. Right.

I m just saying. Okay.

You guys ready for this?

AUDIENCE: Yes.

MURRAY: Here we go. One, two, three, go.

It s gone. Well, that s it.

Thanks, Phil.

(LAUGHS)

(APPLAUSE)

You re still here.

That was your cue to Alright,

got my car keys, don t ask, just. Alright.

So, here s the idea. We have a box.

It s been hanging the whole time,

you ve seen the box the whole time.

Correct? Yes.

There s a lock on that box, that key.

So, find the key?

PHIL: Yeah.

MURRAY: Do you see the key in there?

The one key that fits the lock.

Here s what were going to do, alright.

Box has been hanging there the whole time

before you re even up here on stage.

Alright. That key fits the lock.

We re going to lower the box to the ground.

Once the box hits the ground,

I m going to stay here.

I m not even going to be close to it.

You re going to walk over there with the key,

reach up in the lock, out the key in,

it will open, flip the top right open,

reach inside, pull out what s inside.

This is the trick you ll know what I m talking about.

Cool? Simple? Alright.

Here we go. Leftie, lower the box.

(LAUGHS)

Forget they keys, we don t need them anymore.

Alright.

So, what prize do you want there partner?

What ever you want.

You have any prize you would like.

You guys have a good night, alright.

Chloe, get the stuff, I ll see you in the car.

We re done.

Still here again, huh?

You just won t leave, will you?

I do feel kind of bad about the whole situation,

a little.

So, I got to let you have the prize.

Which prize do you want?

Whatever prize you want.

PHIL: I ll go for the beans.

MURRAY: You want the beans.

There you go, grab the beans. Here.

Do me a favor, I m going to move the table here,

put the can beans on top of the table,
