1
00:00:01,634 --> 00:00:05,105
- [Dean] Illusion, the
art of tricking the brain,

2
00:00:05,138 --> 00:00:08,508
distorting the senses,
challenging perception.

3
00:00:08,541 --> 00:00:12,379
You can't trust what you
see, even with your own eyes.

4
00:00:12,412 --> 00:00:14,981
Meet the masters of illusion.

5
00:00:15,015 --> 00:00:18,018
(audience cheering)

6
00:00:21,388 --> 00:00:22,422
- Hello everyone.

7
00:00:22,455 --> 00:00:25,625
I'm Dean Cain and welcome
to Masters of Illusion.

8
00:00:25,658 --> 00:00:27,127
Everyone is familiar
with the expression,

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,829
Seeing is believing, right?

10
00:00:29,863 --> 00:00:30,997
Well, not so fast.

11
00:00:31,031 --> 00:00:32,098
In the next half hour

12
00:00:32,132 --> 00:00:34,134
you will see some
things that might not

13
00:00:34,167 --> 00:00:36,603
be possible to believe.

14
00:00:36,636 --> 00:00:37,837
So let's get started.

15
00:00:37,871 --> 00:00:38,338
- Hey Dean, Dean!

16
00:00:38,371 --> 00:00:40,140
- After.. after..

17
00:00:40,173 --> 00:00:41,341
Meir Yedid, ladies
and gentlemen.

18
00:00:41,374 --> 00:00:43,243
- Hey, Dean, nice to see you.

19
00:00:43,276 --> 00:00:44,344
One of the most important things

20
00:00:44,377 --> 00:00:46,112
in slight of hand is
your finger texture.

21
00:00:46,146 --> 00:00:46,913
You could make it oily.

22
00:00:46,946 --> 00:00:47,847
You could make it wet.

23
00:00:47,881 --> 00:00:49,115
I could even make it so rough.

24
00:00:49,149 --> 00:00:50,183
It's like sandpaper.

25
00:00:50,216 --> 00:00:53,019
I'll show you what I mean
using this half dollar,

26
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:55,188
silver coin and this finger.

27
00:00:55,221 --> 00:00:59,025
Look, if I take this
half dollar, I could
just rub it away.

28
00:00:59,059 --> 00:01:01,361
As if my finger is
made out of sandpaper.

29
00:01:01,394 --> 00:01:03,163
Just grind it down.

30
00:01:03,196 --> 00:01:04,531
Just grind.

31
00:01:04,564 --> 00:01:05,932
I could even do the other side.

32
00:01:05,965 --> 00:01:08,935
Look, I could just grind
it, grind it, grind it down.

33
00:01:08,968 --> 00:01:10,036
Not only that

34
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:12,806
as if I have super power
strength I could erase,

35
00:01:12,839 --> 00:01:15,175
I could erase the coin.

36
00:01:15,208 --> 00:01:16,276
Well, I erased the entire coin

37
00:01:16,309 --> 00:01:17,944
except the part that
was under my thumb.

38
00:01:17,977 --> 00:01:19,179
And you can keep
this as a souvenir.

39
00:01:19,212 --> 00:01:20,113
(audience clapping)

40
00:01:20,146 --> 00:01:20,713
- All right.

41
00:01:20,747 --> 00:01:21,347
That's crazy.

42
00:01:21,381 --> 00:01:22,148
That's crazy.

43
00:01:22,582 --> 00:01:25,085
That's defacing money,
but I'll take it.

44
00:01:27,687 --> 00:01:31,191
It's time for a magician that
is scintillating, spectacular

45
00:01:31,224 --> 00:01:32,325
and spectral.

46
00:01:32,358 --> 00:01:35,528
It must be our very
own Lucy Darling.

47
00:01:35,562 --> 00:01:38,565
(audience cheering)

48
00:01:41,267 --> 00:01:43,570
- Why thank you very much.

49
00:01:43,603 --> 00:01:46,072
Why I simply adore
modern cocktail culture,

50
00:01:46,106 --> 00:01:46,840
Don't you?

51
00:01:46,873 --> 00:01:48,608
In fact, I have something new

52
00:01:48,641 --> 00:01:49,542
for all of you to try

53
00:01:49,576 --> 00:01:51,444
at your very next house party.

54
00:01:51,478 --> 00:01:55,548
All you require is a
cocktail and a piece of card.

55
00:01:55,582 --> 00:01:56,716
Simply place the card

56
00:01:56,749 --> 00:01:58,618
on top of your cocktail, as so.

57
00:01:58,651 --> 00:01:59,886
Everyone following
along alright?

58
00:01:59,919 --> 00:02:01,955
We put pressure down very evenly

59
00:02:01,988 --> 00:02:07,494
as we turn it over and ta-da!

60
00:02:07,894 --> 00:02:09,062
It sticks.

61
00:02:09,829 --> 00:02:10,964
Pretty good, huh?

62
00:02:10,997 --> 00:02:11,664
(audience clapping)

63
00:02:11,698 --> 00:02:13,967
Gosh, this is in no way magic.

64
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,401
It's just a little
trick with air pressure.

65
00:02:15,435 --> 00:02:16,169
You see?

66
00:02:16,569 --> 00:02:18,638
So, if we did want
to make it magic,

67
00:02:18,671 --> 00:02:22,008
one would have to
freeze the liquid inside

68
00:02:22,041 --> 00:02:23,743
so we could remove it.

69
00:02:23,776 --> 00:02:24,844
Okay?

70
00:02:39,359 --> 00:02:42,362
(audience clapping)

71
00:02:43,563 --> 00:02:44,764
Slightly frozen.

72
00:02:44,797 --> 00:02:46,866
I think we do a bit better.

73
00:02:53,139 --> 00:02:56,009
Entirely frozen.

74
00:02:56,042 --> 00:02:59,279
(audience clapping)

75
00:02:59,312 --> 00:03:01,281
Of course, such a thing
is really impossible.

76
00:03:01,314 --> 00:03:02,615
So you'll have to stick

77
00:03:02,649 --> 00:03:04,751
to the basics at home and
you are sure to be a..

78
00:03:05,718 --> 00:03:06,219
Hit.

79
00:03:06,252 --> 00:03:07,954
At your next party.

80
00:03:07,987 --> 00:03:09,389
You're welcome.

81
00:03:09,422 --> 00:03:12,392
(audience cheering)

82
00:03:16,996 --> 00:03:19,866
- We could all use a couple
of extra hands here and there

83
00:03:19,899 --> 00:03:21,768
but what about feet?

84
00:03:21,801 --> 00:03:23,069
Let's find out what
that looks like

85
00:03:23,102 --> 00:03:25,071
with our very own Rudy Coby

86
00:03:25,104 --> 00:03:28,074
(audience cheering)

87
00:03:43,456 --> 00:03:46,459
(audience laughing)

88
00:04:07,146 --> 00:04:10,149
(audience clapping)

89
00:04:29,969 --> 00:04:32,972
(chainsaw starting)

90
00:04:42,081 --> 00:04:44,851
(audience laughing)

91
00:04:48,021 --> 00:04:51,024
(audience laughing)

92
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:04,037
(audience laughing)

93
00:05:08,741 --> 00:05:11,744
(chainsaw starting)

94
00:05:21,954 --> 00:05:24,957
(audience laughing)

95
00:05:41,974 --> 00:05:44,977
(audience cheering)

96
00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:52,885
(audience cheering)

97
00:06:00,126 --> 00:06:01,227
- [Dean] Buckle Up.

98
00:06:01,260 --> 00:06:02,729
We are in for a wild ride

99
00:06:02,762 --> 00:06:05,064
with this next act, My Uyên.

100
00:06:05,098 --> 00:06:06,099
When we come back.

101
00:06:15,308 --> 00:06:18,277
Do not put this next
performer in a box.

102
00:06:18,311 --> 00:06:19,579
Here's My Uyên.

103
00:06:23,816 --> 00:06:26,986
- Today, I'm going to
do something different.

104
00:06:27,019 --> 00:06:30,089
Make a man disappear.

105
00:06:30,823 --> 00:06:31,824
You!

106
00:06:49,842 --> 00:06:52,845
(audience clapping)

107
00:06:59,819 --> 00:07:01,754
- Oh, you think you he's gonna

108
00:07:01,788 --> 00:07:04,290
be in this side, right?

109
00:07:04,323 --> 00:07:06,058
Let's see.

110
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,595
(performer gasps)

111
00:07:09,629 --> 00:07:12,565
(audience clapping)

112
00:07:32,251 --> 00:07:35,021
(audience clapping)

113
00:07:42,028 --> 00:07:42,829
(audience laughing)

114
00:07:42,862 --> 00:07:45,665
oh no, down!

115
00:07:55,875 --> 00:07:58,878
(audience laughing)

116
00:08:16,062 --> 00:08:19,065
(audience cheering)

117
00:08:31,410 --> 00:08:33,379
- Some say that
love is in the air.

118
00:08:33,412 --> 00:08:36,849
This magician believes
it's in his deck of cards.

119
00:08:36,883 --> 00:08:39,585
Ladies and gentlemen,
Nick Dopuch.

120
00:08:39,619 --> 00:08:40,987
(audience cheering)

121
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:42,054
- Thank you.

122
00:08:42,088 --> 00:08:43,389
Thank very much.

123
00:08:43,422 --> 00:08:44,090
But please give a round

124
00:08:44,123 --> 00:08:45,358
of applause to our volunteers,

125
00:08:45,391 --> 00:08:47,159
Piana and Gianni.

126
00:08:47,193 --> 00:08:47,860
Good memory.

127
00:08:47,894 --> 00:08:48,661
Give it up for them.

128
00:08:48,694 --> 00:08:49,595
(audience clapping)

129
00:08:50,029 --> 00:08:51,197
We should do a quick little card

130
00:08:51,230 --> 00:08:52,064
trick to find out if
you guys are soulmates.

131
00:08:52,098 --> 00:08:52,932
No pressure on that.

132
00:08:52,965 --> 00:08:53,799
(audience laughing)

133
00:08:54,367 --> 00:08:55,101
Okay. Piana, if you would
do me a favor, go ahead.

134
00:08:55,134 --> 00:08:57,203
Just grab any cards you like.

135
00:08:57,236 --> 00:08:58,037
Fantastic.

136
00:08:58,070 --> 00:08:58,938
Show it around to everybody,

137
00:08:58,971 --> 00:09:00,439
including me it
makes my job easier.

138
00:09:00,473 --> 00:09:01,207
Thank you very much.

139
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:01,908
All good.

140
00:09:01,941 --> 00:09:02,775
Happy with that card.

141
00:09:02,808 --> 00:09:03,142
Do you wanna change your mind?

142
00:09:03,175 --> 00:09:04,243
All right.

143
00:09:04,277 --> 00:09:06,579
Now, if you would do me a
favor, take this marker.

144
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:08,948
Sign your name on
the face of that.

145
00:09:09,315 --> 00:09:09,982
All right.

146
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:11,217
She signed her name
on the face of that.

147
00:09:11,250 --> 00:09:11,851
Everybody can see that.

148
00:09:11,884 --> 00:09:12,585
Correct?

149
00:09:13,252 --> 00:09:14,554
Good hand the marker over
to Gianni If you would.

150
00:09:14,587 --> 00:09:16,756
Let's go ahead and have
you select a card as well.

151
00:09:17,189 --> 00:09:17,590
Perfect.

152
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:18,724
The exact one.

153
00:09:18,758 --> 00:09:19,158
Oh, next to the one
I wanted you too.

154
00:09:19,191 --> 00:09:19,926
Okay, whatever.

155
00:09:19,959 --> 00:09:20,927
Show it around everybody.

156
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:21,727
(audience laughing)

157
00:09:21,761 --> 00:09:22,628
All right.

158
00:09:23,262 --> 00:09:24,130
I'll take a look at it.

159
00:09:24,163 --> 00:09:25,565
Six of clubs, six of clubs.

160
00:09:25,598 --> 00:09:28,200
And if you would sign the
back of this card for me.

161
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:29,201
Alrighty.

162
00:09:29,235 --> 00:09:30,770
If you could put the
cap on first try.

163
00:09:30,803 --> 00:09:31,270
Good for you.

164
00:09:31,304 --> 00:09:31,671
All right.

165
00:09:32,138 --> 00:09:32,972
Round of applause for them

166
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:34,440
for all the hard
work they just did.

167
00:09:34,473 --> 00:09:36,042
Well, Gianni's
card, six of clubs.

168
00:09:36,075 --> 00:09:38,110
Gianni's card is right
here, signed on the back.

169
00:09:38,144 --> 00:09:38,744
All right.

170
00:09:39,078 --> 00:09:39,845
And we have Piana's card signed

171
00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:40,780
obviously right
here on the face.

172
00:09:40,813 --> 00:09:43,049
Cut those cards,
wherever you like.

173
00:09:43,082 --> 00:09:43,983
Set off the side.

174
00:09:44,016 --> 00:09:45,251
Beautiful nails by the way.

175
00:09:45,284 --> 00:09:46,052
Okay. Good.

176
00:09:46,085 --> 00:09:46,519
Obviously.

177
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:47,320
Okay, so here's
what we're gonna do.

178
00:09:48,020 --> 00:09:48,521
We're gonna place your card

179
00:09:48,554 --> 00:09:49,255
right where you cut.

180
00:09:49,288 --> 00:09:50,022
Leave it right there.

181
00:09:50,056 --> 00:09:51,223
Now the pressure's on you.

182
00:09:51,257 --> 00:09:52,224
Pressure's on you.

183
00:09:52,258 --> 00:09:54,126
You have to find her.

184
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:54,627
All right.

185
00:09:54,994 --> 00:09:55,328
We're gonna use your six.

186
00:09:55,761 --> 00:09:56,028
All you gotta do is just

187
00:09:56,629 --> 00:09:56,996
say stop whenever you want.

188
00:09:57,029 --> 00:09:57,563
- Stop.

189
00:09:57,597 --> 00:09:57,964
- Right there.

190
00:09:58,331 --> 00:09:58,798
You wanna keep on going?

191
00:09:59,298 --> 00:09:59,699
I can stay, that
one right there.

192
00:09:59,732 --> 00:10:00,433
Okay. All right.

193
00:10:00,466 --> 00:10:01,601
So now I'm gonna mark it

194
00:10:01,634 --> 00:10:03,502
exactly where you
stopped me, that's fair?

195
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:04,103
That's fair.

196
00:10:04,136 --> 00:10:04,470
Right?

197
00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:05,404
So now I'm committed.

198
00:10:05,438 --> 00:10:06,005
It's a commitment joke.

199
00:10:06,038 --> 00:10:06,906
(audience laughing)

200
00:10:06,939 --> 00:10:08,007
Okay, good making sure.

201
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:08,474
All right.

202
00:10:08,975 --> 00:10:09,742
So now you could have stopped me

203
00:10:09,775 --> 00:10:10,176
at any one of these cards

204
00:10:10,209 --> 00:10:11,110
but you didn't.

205
00:10:11,143 --> 00:10:13,346
You stopped me at
this card right here.

206
00:10:13,379 --> 00:10:16,349
Let's see if you found
your long lost love.

207
00:10:18,117 --> 00:10:19,151
Build suspense.

208
00:10:30,162 --> 00:10:32,198
Look at that, ladies
and gentlemen.

209
00:10:32,231 --> 00:10:33,666
(audience clapping)

210
00:10:33,699 --> 00:10:35,167
They found each other.

211
00:10:35,201 --> 00:10:36,135
There you are.

212
00:10:36,168 --> 00:10:38,170
Thank you all very much.

213
00:10:38,204 --> 00:10:40,172
Happy Anniversary, enjoy.

214
00:10:43,576 --> 00:10:45,044
- [Dean] Get ready
for a grand illusion,

215
00:10:45,077 --> 00:10:47,113
like you've never seen before,

216
00:10:47,146 --> 00:10:49,015
Meadow Perry next.

217
00:10:57,857 --> 00:10:59,125
- Let's bring out
a performer who

218
00:10:59,158 --> 00:11:01,027
is able to get literally anyone

219
00:11:01,060 --> 00:11:03,729
or anything dancing.

220
00:11:04,263 --> 00:11:05,464
You'll catch on soon.

221
00:11:05,498 --> 00:11:06,832
Let's welcome to the stage,

222
00:11:06,866 --> 00:11:08,334
Meadow Perry.

223
00:11:08,367 --> 00:11:11,404
(audience cheering)

224
00:11:13,739 --> 00:11:15,808
- When most people
think of bubbles,

225
00:11:15,841 --> 00:11:19,378
they think of them in
a very specific shape.

226
00:11:21,881 --> 00:11:23,215
But when you work with bubbles

227
00:11:23,249 --> 00:11:25,217
for as long as I have

228
00:11:25,251 --> 00:11:26,085
you begin to see them

229
00:11:26,118 --> 00:11:29,088
in a completely
different dimension.

230
00:11:45,237 --> 00:11:48,207
(audience cheering)

231
00:12:06,492 --> 00:12:09,495
(audience clapping)

232
00:12:31,951 --> 00:12:34,954
(audience clapping)

233
00:12:37,123 --> 00:12:39,859
(audience clapping)

234
00:12:47,032 --> 00:12:50,035
(audience clapping)

235
00:12:54,140 --> 00:12:57,109
(audience cheering)

236
00:13:11,957 --> 00:13:14,960
(audience cheering)

237
00:13:38,184 --> 00:13:41,187
(audience cheering)

238
00:14:19,859 --> 00:14:22,862
(audience clapping)

239
00:14:32,438 --> 00:14:35,441
(audience clapping)

240
00:14:55,094 --> 00:14:58,097
(audience clapping)

241
00:15:02,167 --> 00:15:05,170
(audience cheering)

242
00:15:10,109 --> 00:15:13,112
(audience cheering)

243
00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:22,755
- [Dean] Rob Lake
defies gravity.

244
00:15:22,788 --> 00:15:24,456
When we return, next.

245
00:15:33,766 --> 00:15:35,467
This next performer
is taking us back

246
00:15:35,501 --> 00:15:36,602
to his roots with one

247
00:15:36,635 --> 00:15:39,204
of the first illusion that
he learned in his youth.

248
00:15:39,238 --> 00:15:41,941
Let's give it up for Rob Lake.

249
00:15:41,974 --> 00:15:45,110
(audience cheering)

250
00:15:47,012 --> 00:15:48,814
- I got into magic when
I was about 10 years old.

251
00:15:48,847 --> 00:15:51,216
When I first started, I had
no fancy props, no assistants.

252
00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:53,452
I had to create magic
around the house.

253
00:15:53,485 --> 00:15:54,954
And now one of the
earliest lessons

254
00:15:54,987 --> 00:15:56,989
a magician learners is
how to animate objects.

255
00:15:57,022 --> 00:15:58,223
But I didn't have
any handkerchiefs.

256
00:15:58,257 --> 00:15:58,991
I had no assistants.

257
00:15:59,024 --> 00:15:59,825
I had no props.

258
00:15:59,858 --> 00:16:01,560
So I had to use what I had.

259
00:16:01,593 --> 00:16:02,895
A sock.

260
00:16:02,928 --> 00:16:04,897
This is one of the first
tricks I ever learned,

261
00:16:04,930 --> 00:16:07,333
is how to make a sock dance.

262
00:16:14,873 --> 00:16:17,876
(audience clapping)

263
00:16:49,575 --> 00:16:52,578
(audience clapping)

264
00:16:58,083 --> 00:17:01,153
(audience cheering)

265
00:17:05,257 --> 00:17:06,825
- I'm sure this
goes without saying,

266
00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:08,861
and boy do I say it a
lot with this performer

267
00:17:08,894 --> 00:17:12,064
but please do not
try this at home.

268
00:17:12,097 --> 00:17:14,566
It's none other than Dan Sperry.

269
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,603
(audience cheering)

270
00:17:46,698 --> 00:17:49,701
(audience cheering)

271
00:18:01,213 --> 00:18:02,448
Well, that's it for this edition

272
00:18:02,481 --> 00:18:04,016
of Masters of Illusion.

273
00:18:04,049 --> 00:18:05,184
We hope you'll join us next time

274
00:18:05,217 --> 00:18:07,519
for more amazing magic.

275
00:18:07,553 --> 00:18:08,720
Till then, I'm Dean Cain.

276
00:18:08,754 --> 00:18:10,222
Thank you for watching.

277
00:18:10,255 --> 00:18:12,624
(audience cheering)
