00:00Distorting the senses, challenging perception.
00:03You can't trust what you see, even with your own eyes.
00:08Meet the masters of-
00:30Welcome, welcome to an evening of wonder, where anything can happen and nothing is as it seems.
00:48I'm Dean Cain, and you're watching Masters of Illusion.
00:51Now, magic invites us to believe in the extraordinary, to let go of logic and embrace the thrill of surprise.
01:02Tonight, our magicians will take you on a journey that will leave you amazed and spellbound.
01:07I'm excited to be your guide, so let's discover the magic-
01:10Hey, Dean!
01:11Together. Adam Wiley, ladies and gentlemen, yes.
01:14I found it. I found it.
01:15You found it. Yeah.
01:16What were we looking for?
01:17Okay, this is a wishing wallet.
01:19A wishing wallet?
01:20Yeah, it's very empty, until you wish something into it.
01:23Oh.
01:24Like, watch.
01:25Uh, $200.
01:28Hey!
01:29Isn't that great?
01:30Yes!
01:31Can I-
01:32I'm ready to- Can I give a shot?
01:33No.
01:34Oh, it's okay.
01:35Oh!
01:36Okay, I think-
01:39Prepare to be amazed by a magician whose career spans over four decades of performing, writing, and preserving the art of magic.
01:48Known for his innovative routines and classic illusions, he's here to bring you a show filled with wonder and history.
01:55Let's give a warm welcome to the extraordinary, Mike Haveney.
01:58Oh!
01:59Oh!
02:00I know.
02:01I-
02:02It's my fault.
02:04It's my-
02:05I'm not-
02:06I don't- I have- I'm not prepared with any magic.
02:08I haven't had a quick- I haven't had a cup of coffee yet today.
02:11I happen to know this studio has the best coffee in town.
02:14I was driving by and I thought, with your permission, quick cup of coffee-
02:17It takes one minute.
02:18If it's all-
02:19Tell you what.
02:20I take my coffee just like you folks do.
02:22A little bit of cream, a couple of sugars, but I have a very unusual way of stirring it all up.
02:32Not such good seats after all, huh?
02:44Yeah.
02:45Let's get there early, get a good seat.
02:48Nothing to worry about.
02:50Nothing to worry about.
02:51Do you think I look like magic?
02:52This is actually science.
02:54Centrifugal force.
02:57Or as they say in England, aluminum.
03:02You folks got kids at home?
03:08Your kids can try this at home.
03:11Um, perhaps at a friend's house.
03:14And I prefer my coffee with some music.
03:17Anything would help.
03:18Oh yeah!
03:20Here we go.
03:23Cool.
03:36What?
03:37Wait, what?
03:39Hang on.
03:41A little cream.
03:50Here goes nothing.
04:10There goes nothing.
04:13Here goes nothing.
04:21Whoa!
04:30That's it.
04:33That's what I'm talking about.
04:36I'll see you later. Bye-bye.
04:43This performer is a master of close-up magic and sleight of hand,
04:49captivating audiences with his precision and creativity.
04:53Please welcome the amazing Nick Dopich.
04:57Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
04:59Very much so. All right.
05:01Welcome back, everybody. How are we? Everybody good?
05:05Okay, good. All right, good. The perfect answer.
05:07All right, my name is Nick and this is...
05:08Alicia.
05:09Alicia. All right, we have Alicia.
05:10We're going to do a classic of magic for everybody.
05:12This is a classic of magic.
05:14This right here is what they call the cup and balls trick.
05:16Cup, two separate words.
05:18They'll edit that out, but I heard myself when I say it.
05:21I heard myself when I said it is what I meant to say.
05:24Okay, now this right here is the oldest trick in magic.
05:26It's the oldest trick in the book.
05:28Well, second oldest, that water to wine thing the one guy did, right?
05:33Is his name Jeff something? He came back recently.
05:36Now, normally, you see this game, it's a hustle.
05:39You've seen these before, right?
05:40There's usually one ball, there's three cups.
05:42You move it all around, keep your eye on it.
05:43You've been to a baseball game?
05:45All right, good.
05:46It's how you went ahead on a Jumbotron.
05:47But the original version did not use three cups.
05:50It only used one.
05:5050-50, very easy to play.
05:52At least you were going to play this game.
05:53Now, the rules are very simple.
05:54All you do is guess.
05:55You just have to guess if this ball is under the cup
05:57or if the ball is in my pocket.
05:59Those are the two places it can be, okay?
06:01And I'm going to show you how this all works,
06:02and I'm not going to do any of the other jokes, you know?
06:04Okay.
06:04Now, before we get started, Alicia,
06:10just so you know, this game is not about magic.
06:12This is about psychology, okay?
06:13You'll see what I mean.
06:14You ready to play?
06:15I'm ready.
06:16Alicia.
06:18Where's the ball?
06:20It's in the cup.
06:20Under the cup.
06:21Final answer?
06:22That's my final answer.
06:27Of course, look how nervous you got.
06:28Of course it was under the cup.
06:29Of course it was under the cup.
06:29You saw me put it there, all right?
06:30Now, I do that to prove that point.
06:32Because that little nervousness you feel
06:33right before I pick up the cup,
06:35that's the psychology part.
06:36That's where I get to win the game.
06:37I'm going to get you to talk yourself out of it.
06:39And we all understand why,
06:40because it looked too easy.
06:40If it looks too simple,
06:41you start to second guess yourself.
06:43It's like, it can't be this easy.
06:44It's like when you find good parking.
06:45It's like, this ain't a spot.
06:45No way I got this spot.
06:48So you change your mind,
06:48I steal your money.
06:49Easier I make it look, harder it is.
06:50Alicia, round two.
06:55Where's the ball?
06:56It's in your pocket.
06:56Of course, can't be under the cup.
06:57That'd be impossible.
07:00You can change your mind if you want.
07:03I'm still going to go with the pocket.
07:05She understood the assignment.
07:06Give her a round of applause.
07:07That's two for two.
07:07She's doing good.
07:08Okay, good.
07:08All right, fantastic.
07:09All right, now, come on.
07:11Now, here's what we're going to do.
07:12Now, we're going to do it again, all right?
07:14Now, some of you still look.
07:15It really is this simple.
07:16All right, really, it's the ball in a cup.
07:17Other than that, pockets are empty, you can see.
07:19She can say you can't, but not like it matters.
07:22All right, I'm going to do it again,
07:23but I'll get you to change your mind this time.
07:24I am going to do an extra move, though.
07:26It's this one right here.
07:26Here it comes.
07:30Alicia, that move right there is what the kids today call sus.
07:37Did I say it right?
07:39I didn't know if I had no riz to pull it off.
07:41However, after that sus, suspicious, I know what it means.
07:45Where's the ball?
07:46Let's do it this way.
07:47Is the ball in the cup?
07:48No.
07:49Of course not.
07:49Exactly.
07:49Now, I did just touch the cup, though, so I could have done something sneaky.
07:52You can still say cup if you want.
07:54I'm going to say pocket.
07:55Okay, and that's how you lost your money.
07:56I know.
07:57I know.
07:57Look at that.
07:58I know.
07:58Isn't that crazy?
07:58I know.
07:59Right now, that's the hustle.
08:00That's the one, two, three.
08:01Let the mark win a couple of times.
08:02It builds their confidence.
08:03Third time, triple the bet.
08:04Knock it on down.
08:04How did I do it?
08:05Some of you know how it works.
08:06Some of you might have caught me.
08:07The way this works is, of course, scam.
08:11It's a complete scam.
08:12I have total control the whole time.
08:13All that stuff I said about psychology, hogwash.
08:15You know what I mean?
08:16Yeah, I just turned 40, so I never said that word in my life.
08:19Hogwash.
08:20I know exactly.
08:21I say hogwash now.
08:22It means boulder dash.
08:26All right.
08:26Now, you can't guess right because the ball is never under the cup.
08:28The ball was never in the pocket.
08:29You all knew where it was.
08:30That ball, of course, was in my hand.
08:32That's how the scam works.
08:33It stays here until you guess.
08:34After you guess, I just do whatever I want, right?
08:36So if you were to say cup, I just would have said, no, it's over here in the pocket.
08:39You said not cup, so I had to roll it under there quickly like I did.
08:43Now, if you saw me do that, great.
08:44If you didn't, magic.
08:47It's a tagline for the whole profession.
08:50But most people look at me funny.
08:51They say, that can't be the move.
08:52He doesn't roll it.
08:53I'd have seen it.
08:53But as if it kind of proved my point, no, you didn't.
08:55I know, exactly.
08:57That's all right.
08:57Thank you, thank you.
08:59All right, that's all right.
09:00There's stunned silence is all I take, by the way.
09:02So I don't take applause at all, all right?
09:05So, yeah.
09:06But that's the thing.
09:07Most people look at me funny right there, right?
09:08Because that's the psychology of it, right?
09:09Because you were sure that ball just went in that cup, just like you're sure the ball went in that hand.
09:12It's like you know I'm putting it back in this pocket.
09:14That's how you lost even more of your money.
09:15Actually, you know what?
09:16Take a look up here.
09:17Okay, now we got it.
09:17That's how you lost even more.
09:18I know, exactly.
09:19Isn't it crazy?
09:19I know.
09:20It's silly, silly, silly.
09:21Now, this is the part where someone says, hey, Nick, you've got to have more than one ball.
09:23I make the obvious joke.
09:24We move along.
09:29However, you've got to have a bunch of those to do it that way.
09:30So if I take this, so this is an illusion.
09:32It looks like I'm putting stuff away here.
09:33I always have it in my hand, right?
09:34So you've got to hide a bunch of these in your hand.
09:36Make sure you've got a lot of these bad.
09:37But then you've got to hide them all, right?
09:38I mean, along with these little oranges.
09:39These little oranges are tough, too.
09:40I know.
09:41These are fun.
09:41I know.
09:41You can't really do much else with that.
09:43I know.
09:43It's a lot of fun.
09:44But also, in the end of it all, that's how you always end up with this part when you
09:46end up with all those oranges.
09:47That's how you end up with all of it.
09:48And I know exactly.
09:49Isn't it fun?
09:50I know.
09:50What can we do here?
09:51Thank you all very much.
09:52I've got to kind of try to clean this glass a little better, though.
09:54I'm not sure exactly how this works.
09:56I'm not sure that we have all this.
09:57There we go.
09:58That's a lot better.
09:59All right.
09:59Thank you all very much.
10:00Thank you very much.
10:01Coming up, Joshua J. goes back in time using his magic camera.
10:08I'm going to take your picture.
10:10This is the moment we're going to go back to.
10:11One, two, three.
10:12And later, Jackie Yu has all the magic right where he needs it.
10:16One card magically flies into my pocket here.
10:19Is this your signature life?
10:22Right?
10:24Plus, Eric Jones alters the shape of cards right before your eyes.
10:28I'll do it visually so you can really see the moment, the whole move.
10:32Give me a favor.
10:32Take any card out that you like.
10:36Nope, not that one.
10:38Masters of Illusion is just getting started.
10:41Stick around.
10:52Please welcome the incredible Joshua J.
10:58The instant camera was invented in 1948, and then it peaked in popularity in the 1980s,
11:09and then it totally fell off until today.
11:13I was shocked to learn this, but the instant camera is more popular today,
11:17sells more units today than at any time since its invention in 1948.
11:22So I know, it's shocking.
11:23So my question was, why are people so interested today in this technology of yesterday?
11:30And the reason is nostalgia.
11:32People love the idea that they can take a picture and get the results instantly
11:35and go back in time with this old technology.
11:39So in a way, this is a portal back in time.
11:42So I've created a card trick using an instant camera to go back in time.
11:47And we'll use this.
11:49This is a sealed regulation pack of cards.
11:51You'll notice that it's sealed on all sides in plastic.
11:54And then, under the plastic, there's a sticker that keeps the cards stuck inside.
12:00Now, I want to take a picture of this moment as the before moment,
12:05the moment that we're going to travel back to.
12:07So Laura, would you hold up that deck of cards like this?
12:10I'm going to take your picture.
12:13And what's going to happen is it's going to be a jumping photo.
12:16So I'm going to count to three, and then you'll jump.
12:18I'm kidding.
12:18It's not a jumping photo.
12:20I saw the blood drain out of your face at that moment.
12:22Here we go.
12:23I just want you to hold it up, because this is the moment we're going to go back to.
12:26One, two, three.
12:31And instantly, we will have a record of this moment.
12:34Now, it does take about 90 seconds to develop.
12:39So while we're doing that, I want you to open this deck of cards up.
12:43So I will help you.
12:44There's a little plastic bag here.
12:46And if we use that, we can go all the way around, like so.
12:52And now, that exposes the sticker.
12:55Can you do me a favor and just tear through that sticker?
12:58I'll start it for you right there.
13:00And then you just tear across.
13:02And when you've torn that sticker off, I want you to take out the cards.
13:06Yeah, go ahead.
13:07And place them face up on the table.
13:12Yeah.
13:13That's good.
13:15Excellent.
13:16Now, this is what we call new deck order.
13:19This is how they come from the factory.
13:21And by the way, while this photo develops, I'm going to tuck it inside the plastic so you can keep an eye on it.
13:28It's not fully developed, and it'll develop better in the dark.
13:31So better put your hand over that.
13:33Say, over that.
13:33Yeah, I like that.
13:34Perfect.
13:35All right.
13:36Laura, this is what we call new deck order.
13:40It's two jokers, then ace through king of hearts, ace through king of clubs, king through ace of diamonds, king through ace of spades.
13:47This is how they come from the factory.
13:48And I'm going to have you pick a card to help us go back in time.
13:52So as I go through, you just call stop.
13:55Stop.
13:56Right here.
13:57This way?
13:58Are you sure it's this one right here?
13:59Yes.
14:00Nine of diamonds.
14:00I'll put it between the eight and the ten of diamonds.
14:03And I want you to see these cards really are in order.
14:07And the eight and the ten have one card between them.
14:10And that's the one you chose, the nine of diamonds.
14:12This is important for when we go back in time.
14:16But now we have to go forward in time.
14:18So I'm going to give the cards a little mix.
14:20This is how you might mix them in a private game of cards.
14:23And, of course, after the shuffle, you give them a couple of cuts.
14:27Why don't you, with your other hand, give them a cut?
14:30Yeah.
14:32Oh, you cut right to your card, the nine of diamonds.
14:35I'll cut it back into the middle there.
14:37That's a bonus trick, ladies and gentlemen.
14:40Not every performance gets that trick.
14:43Okay.
14:43So I showed you how they shuffle in a private game.
14:45Let me show you another way to shuffle.
14:47This is how they shuffle in a casino game of cards.
14:50The reason they do this way in a casino is because the cards are on the table.
14:53You can never see which way is up.
14:55So I showed you the overhand shuffle.
14:56I showed you the casino shuffle.
14:58This was the shuffle I used to use as a kid.
15:00It's just cutting cards all over the table.
15:03And now the last shuffle, which is the most important.
15:07I'm going to turn some of these cards up, some down, some up, some down, some up, some down, some up, some down, some up, some down.
15:16So they make a true mess of cards.
15:19And in this condition, I want you to see that they really do go face up into face down.
15:25In fact, it would be hard to tell whether your card was up or down unless you really looked.
15:29We went forward in time.
15:33We did three different shuffles.
15:34It is now time to go back in time.
15:37And to do it, we rewind the deck.
15:44And if I did that correctly, all the cards are now face down except for one.
15:51And that's your nine of diamonds.
15:54But if we really went back in time, all of the cards would be back in order.
16:07That's the two jokers, the ace through king of hearts, ace through king of clubs, king through ace of diamonds, king through ace of spades.
16:14And even the one that you picked is still reversed.
16:17That's your nine of diamonds.
16:19But the cards can go back in time.
16:21They can't go back in space, which means if we went back to the moment I took that picture, these cards can't get back in the box.
16:29But if you lift your hand, this box has gone back in time.
16:36It's now sealed with the plastic on it.
16:39It's sealed with your picture on the inside.
16:42I want you to check that there are no protrusions or holes.
16:45And under the plastic, the little seal, the sticker that you broke, is now sealed again.
16:51And I'm going to give you this deck of cards and this box as a souvenir of your trip back in time.
17:01Coming up, Jackie Yu has all the magic right where he needs it.
17:05One card massively flies into my pocket here.
17:08Is this your signature, right?
17:11Right?
17:12Plus, David Goldrake shows off his levitation powers in an incredible act.
17:18And later, Eric Jones alters the shape of cards right before your eyes.
17:23I'll do it visually so you can really see the moment, the whole move.
17:27Do me a favor.
17:27Take any card out that you like.
17:31Nope, not that one.
17:34Masters of Illusion has more tricks up its sleeve.
17:37Stick around.
17:50This performer is a magician who has captivated audiences around the globe with his innovative,
17:57visually stunning magic.
17:59Known for pushing the boundaries of traditional illusions, please welcome the incredible Jackie Yu.
18:07Yeah, Jackie Yu back.
18:09Okay, let's do something cool.
18:11What's your name?
18:12My name is Carson.
18:13Carson, it's Jackie.
18:14Nice to meet you.
18:15All right, before we begin, I need to check two things.
18:18First is the envelope.
18:20And I'm going to use this at the end of this magic.
18:23Please remember that.
18:24And the second, please put your right hand in my pocket and check it.
18:28Is there anything inside?
18:29No.
18:29Nothing inside, right?
18:31All right.
18:31And here, I have a deck of cards.
18:34It's green, plain cards.
18:36And as you can see, it's all different cards and well-mixed, right?
18:40Yeah.
18:41Okay.
18:42This time, when I drop the card like this.
18:43Yeah, please come closer.
18:44Yeah.
18:45When I do like this, please stop me whenever you want.
18:48Okay.
18:48You like it?
18:49Yes.
18:49Yeah.
18:49Take it.
18:50And yeah, I can actually see the card.
18:52And now, please sign your name on the face of the card.
18:56Sign your name.
18:56Yes.
18:57I think I don't need this.
18:59Yeah.
19:00Now, this is the only card in the world with your signature, right?
19:03Six of diamonds.
19:05Carson's cards.
19:06Nice.
19:07Thank you so much.
19:08Okay.
19:09And now, I show you something cool.
19:12This is six of diamonds.
19:14Six of diamonds.
19:15I put the cards in the middle of the deck and try to find your card.
19:20But when you watch card tricks, many of you imagine that the magician can move the chosen
19:24card to the top or to the bottom.
19:28Yeah.
19:28Yeah.
19:29That's possible.
19:30But this time, I'll show you something more different.
19:33Watch.
19:33Watch as I refer to the card.
19:35One card magically flies into my pocket here.
19:39See?
19:39Here's one card in my pocket.
19:42All right.
19:43Let me show you.
19:44See?
19:44Is this your signature, right?
19:47Yeah.
19:47Right?
19:48Yeah.
19:48Let's do this again.
19:50Okay.
19:51I put the card in the middle.
19:53And I shuffle them.
19:56Shuffle them again.
19:58And I shuffle them again.
19:59And do you know why I'm shuffling cards for so long?
20:02No.
20:02It's because one card already moved in my pocket here.
20:06And is this your signature, right?
20:08Okay.
20:08Right?
20:09I know it's difficult to follow with the eyes.
20:13So I'm going to show you how I move the cards in my pocket secretly.
20:16I put the card in the middle and I shuffle them.
20:20You might notice one card slowly starts to move.
20:23But it's difficult to follow with the untrained eye.
20:26In reality, there's one card in my pocket here.
20:30And is this your signature, right?
20:33Yes.
20:34Right?
20:35Let's do this again.
20:36Let's do this again.
20:37I put the card in the middle.
20:39But actually, it can fly everywhere.
20:41This time it's right here in my right inside pocket.
20:44Is this your card?
20:45Yeah.
20:46Let's do it again.
20:47I put the card in the middle.
20:48But this time it flies back here in my left inside pocket.
20:52Is this your card?
20:53Right?
20:54Let's do it again.
20:55I put the card in the middle.
20:57And little through the card.
20:59And one card flies back to my pocket here.
21:02And is this your signature?
21:04Right?
21:05No.
21:07Please cup your hand.
21:08Cup your hand.
21:09With both hands.
21:11Okay.
21:11Is this your card?
21:13No.
21:14No.
21:15Is your card here?
21:17No.
21:18No?
21:20Here?
21:21Uh, no.
21:21No?
21:23Wait.
21:24I have one card.
21:26I have one card in my hand.
21:28And is this your signature?
21:31Right?
21:32Right?
21:36Thank you so much.
21:38All right, Carson.
21:39Do you want to see one last time?
21:41Absolutely.
21:41Okay.
21:42Please put your hand in my pocket here.
21:44And make sure to check, is there anything inside?
21:46Nothing.
21:46Okay.
21:47Put your right hand inside and check it.
21:49Is there anything inside?
21:50Uh, no.
21:50Okay.
21:51Now leave your hands just there.
21:52Leave your hand there.
21:53Okay.
21:54Now, this is the last part.
21:56I put the card in the middle of the deck.
21:58I put the card in the middle of the deck.
22:01It's follow me.
22:01I put the card in the middle of the deck like this.
22:05Oh, you remember.
22:07Before I started this, I used one thing at the end of this magic.
22:10Do you remember what that one thing was?
22:12The emblem.
22:13Okay.
22:13You can pull it out.
22:14You can pull it out.
22:15The emblem.
22:16It hasn't been here since the beginning.
22:18You all saw it, right?
22:19I never touched it.
22:20But look after it.
22:21There's one card in my mouth.
22:45And pour it neatly into quarters.
22:47Why is this your signature?
22:49Right?
22:50Yep.
22:50Why?
22:52Big hand for Carson, everybody.

28:13I'll do it visually so you can really see the moment, the whole move.
28:17Give me a favor.
28:18Take any card out that you like.
28:21Nope, not that one.
28:23Plus, Maxon Svear tests the audience's luck with his lottery.
28:26Welcome to my version of my lottery.
28:3014, 28, Masters of Illusion will reappear.
28:35Stick around.
28:36Get ready to be amazed by a magician whose passion for the art of magic shines through every performance.
28:57I'll be as surprised as anybody.
28:59Hi, Lucy Darling, ladies and gentlemen.
29:02Hi, uh...
29:03I was talking to some of the other magicians, and we thought since you've been doing this for so many seasons of Masters of Illusion, perhaps, some of our magical powers have rubbed off on you a little, don't you think?
29:12Uh, probably not.
29:14In fact, there's a magician's test.
29:16Would you like to do it?
29:17No, but yes, I'll do it.
29:18Of course, sure.
29:19Oh, yeah.
29:19You'll do anything for me.
29:21Yes, I will.
29:22Question one of the tests.
29:23What is this?
29:25That is a wooden thing that looks like a guillotine.
29:28Yeah.
29:28It is a guillotine.
29:29It's a guillotine.
29:30It's a magician's test.
29:31Okay, you didn't do so great on that one.
29:32That's okay.
29:33Okay.
29:33Now, this is a little riveted in that place, a little blade there.
29:36Take a look at that.
29:36Make sure it does not move up and down.
29:38Okay, no, it doesn't.
29:39No.
29:39Take a look at that box.
29:40Make sure there's nothing sneaky in my little box.
29:42Not that I can tell.
29:44Not that I can tell.
29:46You can even see that when I put it in there, that blade moves past all three holes.
29:50I mean, we should all be so lucky, right?
29:53Now, is this the test?
29:55Yes.
29:56Put your finger through that tiny little hole.
29:58No.
29:59Yeah, you got to.
29:59That's how we do the test.
30:00That's a...
30:01You make to pick whichever finger you want.
30:02Whichever finger you want to lose.
30:03I mean, you...
30:04The pinky thing.
30:06Oh, the most sensitive finger on the human body.
30:09I hope not.
30:10Dean, can you feel that blade sitting on top of your finger?
30:11Yes, I can.
30:12I definitely feel that on there.
30:13Now, here's how the test works.
30:14If you have magic powers, that blade will go right through their fingers, leaving you unharmed.
30:18And if you don't have magic powers, then we'll deal with that when that happens.
30:21Okay?
30:21Okay.
30:22Here we go.
30:22You ready?
30:23Yes.
30:23One, two, three minutes to go.
30:26Yeah, I'm good.
30:27Okay.
30:27There's no way Dean's going to let me do this.
30:29I hope you don't.
30:30How did I not do it?
30:32Well, I just...
30:32I fear, but at least I broke that pinky once, so at the end of it doesn't really work that
30:36well.
30:36Well, then it's fine.
30:37Don't...
30:37Oh!
30:39Can you see that that blade is now on the other side of your finger?
30:42I can't see anything.
30:43All the way up.
30:44It doesn't move up and down.
30:45And your finger is still perfectly attached.
30:47It is.
30:48Looks like some of that magic is not going.
30:50Well done.
30:51All right.
30:54I'm a little sweaty now.
30:55I admit it.
30:56So let's...
30:57Tonight, we are all in for a real treat with one of the most skilled and admired magicians
31:04around.
31:05A long-time fan favorite on Masters of Illusion, his smooth and astonishing performances never
31:11fail to impress.
31:13Please welcome the brilliant Eric Jones.
31:16Oh, that's great.
31:26You guys are like trained.
31:27That's good.
31:27That's good.
31:28So guys, welcome.
31:29How are you?
31:29What's your name?
31:30I'm great.
31:30Nika.
31:30Nice to meet you.
31:31Nice to meet you.
31:32Nika and...
31:33Gabina.
31:33Gabina.
31:34It is a pleasure.
31:35Ladies, we're going to have a conversation, a really short conversation about permanence.
31:40You'll understand what I mean in a moment.
31:41I've got a couple of things with me.
31:42I've got a little hole punch that I got from an office supply store and a deck of
31:46playing cards.
31:47Now, here's the strange thing.
31:48We're going to use one card in a little bit.
31:50I'm going to leave that sitting over here for just a moment.
31:52But I want you guys...
31:54Oh, actually, you know what?
31:54Give me a favor.
31:55Take any card out that you like.
31:58Nope, not that one.
32:00But any other...
32:01No, not that one.
32:03There we go.
32:04That's good.
32:05Now, take a look at the card and tell me, do you like that card or would you like one
32:07of the others?
32:08The choice is completely up to you.
32:10That's okay.
32:11You good?
32:11Give me a favor.
32:12Show the audience.
32:13And as a matter of fact, to make things even more permanent, I'm going to give you this
32:18marker.
32:18You can place a card face up here.
32:19It doesn't matter if I see what it is.
32:21You can do it face up.
32:22And I...
32:22Oh, that's my favorite card.
32:23The four of clubs.
32:24Because it reminds me of bedposts.
32:26That's a whole other story.
32:27Do me a favor.
32:28Take that marker.
32:29And I want you to sign your name right on the face of the card.
32:32That way, in case you see the card again, you know that it'll show up.
32:38You know any good jokes?
32:40No.
32:40No, I'm just wasting time.
32:41I was hoping that you knew.
32:43I know two, but I can't say them on television.
32:45All right?
32:47Oh, that is beautiful.
32:48Let's make sure we get a good look at that.
32:50I'm going to get you to go ahead and cut the marker.
32:52That's how I got it.
32:54Now, permanence.
32:56This is kind of interesting.
32:57I hope you guys can see this.
32:59I'm just going to take this little guy and punch her a little hole right through there.
33:02I don't know if you can see it right there.
33:04The line all the way through.
33:05Here's the magic.
33:07All you have to do is watch.
33:09You might see the moment that hole moves from one place to another.
33:14Close your mouth.
33:14That's how flies get in.
33:15All right.
33:16I'm sorry.
33:17You can go ahead.
33:17You can feel it.
33:18You can feel it.
33:18The hole is really there.
33:19You can feel it.
33:20The hole is really there.
33:21I'm going to move it again.
33:22I'm going to move it again.
33:22Watch.
33:23Watch.
33:23I'll do it visually so you can really see the moment the hole moves, which is kind
33:28of cool.
33:28But keep your eye on the hole.
33:30Keep your eye on the hole.
33:30But also, watch the cards.
33:33I'll do it slowly so you might not miss the moment.
33:37Go ahead and take a look at that one.
33:38And the best thing is, out of all these cards, you end up picking cards.
33:41That one has the hole in it.
33:42This one is a permanent reminder of our time together.
33:46That is a trick with permanence.
33:49It's kind of cool.
33:50Coming up, Maxon Svear tests the audience's luck with his lottery.
33:57Welcome to my version of my lottery.

35:12Okay, put your hand like that.
35:15Just a little bit.
35:16Okay.
35:16You want like that.
35:18Smile.
35:19Ladies and gentlemen, from New York, the Statue of Liberty.
35:27That's okay.
35:27That's it.
35:28Don't do like that because it's so strange now.
35:31But keep it safely and show to everyone.
35:34I have some paper on this.
35:38Some paper, some number on this bag.
35:40This, for example, I will show you.

36:04You will help me.
36:05You will pop like that.
36:06Now, you are my stand.
36:09And you will pick freely.
36:10Okay.
36:11One number each time, but you don't look in what you pick.
36:14You pick one like that and you give it to me directly.
36:17Okay.
36:17Okay?
36:18We will play something.
36:23Come.
36:23No, no, don't pass for the front of the star.
36:26Just that.
36:28Better.
36:30Not, not front of me.
36:31Never.
36:35Without looking.
36:36Wait, wait, wait.
36:36Be, be, be.
36:37Sorry.
36:37The first one.
36:39Good number.
36:40I love this one.

36:53Now, the number.
36:56That's, that's, that's it.
36:57That's correct for me.

36:58That's good.
36:58That's good.
36:59That's good.

37:23And change the last.
37:26Don't show there.
