DEAN: 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.

Are you ready to be challenged?

AUDIENECE: Yeah.

DEAN: Are you ready to be amazed?

AUDIENCE: Yeah.

DEAN: Alright. What do you see here?

Okay, look.

Is this blue square inside or outside the box?

Okay.

Look away and then look back.

Did it just jump?

Yes. No.

Yes, it did.

Reality and perception. Not always the same.

Right now it is time to meet our Masters of Illusion.

Our illusionists tonight will also bend your brain.

Watch Tommy Wind and be sure that you do not

Greg Gleason and Les Arnold and Dazzle.

Here s an illusionist who prefers to keep his music

to himself.

Arthur Trace.

(APPLAUSE)

ARTHUR: Hello.

What s your name?

Sable.

Nice to meet you, Sable.

Sable, would you join me on stage as the audience gives

you a thunderous round of applause?

I ll help you out there.

Nice to meet you.

Sable, I love performing magic to music,

although I ve been told this song is so bad that I should

never subject you to it.

So, in the interest of your well being,

I have a solution.

You see, I still get to listen to my favorite song

and you get to experience a real mystery.

Of course I realize that as soon as I hit the play

button, it s going to be very difficult for me to

hear you.

So, I m going to ask you to nod your head yes or no in

response to my questions unless I instruct

you otherwise.

Got it?

SABLE: Okay.

ARTHUR: Good. Here we go.

It s a card trick.

Sable, feel my pocket, make sure it s empty.

SABLE: Nothing in there.

ARTHUR: Empty?

SABLE: Empty.

ARTHUR: It s empty.

Please, take a card.

Good.

Here Sable, sign the face of it in big,

bold letters.

That way you don t have to necessarily have to remember

the card.

All you have to do is remember your name.

Sable.

(LAUGHS)

I ll take back the marker.

Go ahead and show them.

Sable, as I dribble the cards like so,

motion with your hand when you would like me to stop.

Place your card back on the back.

Thank you.

You may be wondering what I m listening to.

However, the bigger mystery is how Sable s card jumps

from the pack to inside my jacket.

Yeah.

Of course, I don t expect you to take my word for it,

Sable.

But, this is your signature?

Isn t it?

(APPLAUSE)

You re not impressed.

She s not impressed.

You know, Sable, I ll do it again.

Make sure the cards never go near my jacket pocket.

Got it?

SABLE: Got it.

ARTHUR: Here we go.

Did you see it go?

Oh.

It did.

(APPLAUSE)

Remember, you have nothing to distract you.

Not even music.

Yet, time and time again, Sable,

your card jump from the pack to inside my pocket.

Oh, it s already there.

Here, I ll let you do the honors.

Go ahead, reach inside and remove it.

(APPLAUSE)

DEAN: Next, Greg Gleason and Les Arnold and Dazzle.

Now, let s take a time machine trip to the

future with Greg Gleason.
