00:00Illusion, the art of tricking the brain, distorting the senses, challenging perception.
00:08You can't trust what you see, even with your own eyes.
00:12Meet the Masters of Illusion.
00:30Prepare to have your perceptions turned upside down.
00:53I'm Dean Cain, and this is Masters of Illusion.
00:56Now, the beauty of magic is in its ability to surprise us, and to challenge what we think we know.
01:06Tonight, we'll embark on a journey where the lines between reality and illusion, blur.
01:12I am very excited to share this experience with you, so let's see what our incredible...
01:17Hey, Dean.
01:18And Andy Gladwin, ladies and gentlemen.
01:20We're just opening the show.
01:22The Magicians Backstage challenged me to show you a trick with one hand.
01:24Can I do it before we start?
01:25Do you mind?
01:27Let's do it.
01:28They don't mind.
01:28Let's go.
01:28All right.
01:29So I'll put this hand in my pocket.
01:30I will just use this hand.
01:31Dean, say stop whenever you like.
01:33Stop.
01:33Right here.
01:33This is going to be your card.
01:34Remember the card.
01:35You see it?
01:36Grab it.
01:36Just remember it.
01:37Just remember what I'm seeing?
01:38Yep.
01:38Yes.
01:38You got it?
01:39Got it.
01:39I'm going to try and shuffle the cards with one hand.
01:41This is the hard part.
01:42Look at that.
01:42We can just about do it.
01:43I can't do that.
01:44I can.
01:45It's my job.
01:45Yes.
01:45All right.
01:46Here we go.
01:46We're going to try and find your card.
01:47The nine of...
01:49No, that's not it.
01:50Okay.
01:51How about the three of clubs?
01:52No, that's not it either.
01:54You know what?
01:54I didn't say which hand because this hand has been in my pocket the whole time.
01:57There is a card inside.
01:58Dean Cain, that is your three of diamonds.
01:59That is my card.
02:00That is crazy.
02:01Let's start the show.
02:02No, yes.
02:03Get out of here.
02:05I'm taking him to Vegas with me.
02:07Ladies and gentlemen, Andy Gladwin.
02:11Get ready for a wild ride with one of the funniest magicians around.
02:15With Feral Dillon, anything can happen.
02:18But one thing's for sure, you're going to have an amazing time.
02:22Prepare to laugh and be amazed by the hilarious Feral Dillon.
02:31Thanks, Dean.
02:33Well, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it is time for the most macho trick in the world.
02:39Get ready.
02:42Oh, sorry.
02:43Hold on.
02:53Sorry.
02:54You laughed like you were expecting something bigger.
02:57Do you know what this is?
03:00No, that's okay.
03:01Look, it's a thimble.
03:01I would have also accepted a miniature hat from the band Devo or a little red solo cup if
03:06you were a drunk college student.
03:08But still it remains a thimble.
03:10It's a little red thimble that I can make disappear.
03:13It comes back.
03:15A thimble that if I take it and I shove it into my elbow, it jumps to my finger.
03:19It's a red thimble that changes like magic to yellow.
03:21A yellow thimble that changes magically back to red.
03:24From red to yellow to red to yellow to red.
03:30Ah, thank you, guys.
03:32Yeah, thank you for showing up.
03:35Here's something.
03:36If I take the red thimble, put it into my pocket, jumps back up here to my finger.
03:39If I take the red one, put it into the fist, give it a twist, it changes green.
03:42The green one changes blue.
03:44The blue one disappears completely.
03:47It comes back.
03:50Rainbow.
03:50Rainbow.
03:51This performer is known for her wit, charm, and a magical style that's as glamorous as
04:05it is hilarious.
04:06With a touch of vintage Hollywood and a whole lot of magic, she has captivated audiences
04:11worldwide.
04:13Please welcome the incredible Lucy Darling.
04:21We're not as different as we all imagine ourselves to be.
04:26Well, I am, but not any of you.
04:29Let me give you a little demonstration.
04:30Everyone, take out your cell phones and turn on the little flashlight.
04:34If you don't know how to do that, you just have to pull down from the top and push the
04:36little icon.
04:37Yes, there we go.
04:38Very nice.
04:40Ooh, let's see them all, let's see them all.
04:41Ooh, you look like a little starscape.
04:43How pretty.
04:44Now, lower and hide your light.
04:45You can push it against your chest to hide the light, or you can put it on your lap.
04:48It's up to you.
04:49Now, let's find out all the surprising things we have in common, shall we?
04:54Raise your light in a moment, if you have ever said you were five minutes away when you
04:58had not yet called the Uber.
05:01Yeah, that's what I thought.
05:02Me too.
05:03Put them down.
05:05Raise your light.
05:06If you have ever turned on the tap in the bathroom, not to wash your hands, but so that
05:10people outside would be sure you did.
05:14Yep, that's what I thought.
05:16Put them down.
05:17Raise your light if you've ever said you read something in the newspaper that you really
05:21saw on TikTok.
05:23That's literally everybody.
05:24Wow, okay.
05:26And raise your light if you've ever looked up at the night sky and felt very, very small.
05:35Yes, I thought so too.
05:36Put your lights down.
05:38Tonight we're going to go on a journey together to prove how much we have in common.
05:42We're going to let all the directions be decided by fate.
05:44So here inside these five little copper cups, I have a couple of little dice.
05:49Can you hold on to that for me?
05:51You can see that dice has different directions on every side.
05:53Yes?
05:57It's either left or right, diagonally, or up or down in either a yellow or a blue star.
06:03Yes?
06:03You can see that they're all like this.
06:06Fantastic.
06:06You're going to hold on to this one.
06:08I'm going to give you this cup.
06:09This little copper cup.
06:11This one and this one.
06:13Now, in a moment you're going to put one hand on top and shake it all up.
06:17And we're going to go wherever your cup says.
06:18Sounds good?
06:20We'll let fate decide this one.
06:21Are you ready?
06:22All right.
06:27Let's begin.
06:29Shake up your dice.
06:30I love that sound, don't you?
06:40Stop.
06:41We're not going to take a look just yet.
06:44As you look up into the night sky, some nights, you notice that there's one particular star that will stand out to you.
06:51So everyone take a moment and pick one star to be your beginning spot.
06:55When you have your star in your mind, if you are not holding a cup, please hold up your light so I know you've picked one.
07:01It'll be anyone you like.
07:04Fantastic.
07:05Now let's get on a little journey, shall we?
07:07Shake up your cup.
07:08Let's take a look.
07:11Everyone, from where you are, move diagonally to the nearest yellow star.
07:15If there is not a star that is yellow in a diagonal direction, you can just stay where you are.
07:20Thank you very much.
07:22Darling, shake yours.
07:25You're going to move left or right to the nearest yellow star.
07:30Lights down, everyone.
07:33Good job.
07:35It's yours.
07:35Shake, shake, shake.
07:38Up or down to the nearest blue star.
07:42Good job.
07:43Shake yours up.
07:45Oh, you're shaking yours up very aggressively.
07:49Diagonally to the nearest yellow star.
07:52And you're our last direction.
07:54What do we get?
07:55Left or right to the nearest blue star.
07:59Hold on to those for me.
08:01Now, you should have a final star in your mind.
08:05If you are at your final star, show me your light right now.
08:09Good.
08:10Focus on that star.
08:12Each and every night, as darkness sweeps the sky, the stars all shine so bright, and one will catch your eye.
08:20Deep within this glow, deep within this glow, no matter where you are, in your heart, you'll know, the gaze of the same star.
08:29If that's your star, please hold your light up now.
08:33Everyone.
08:34I'm not.
08:35I'm not.
08:39I'm not.
08:40I'm not.
08:41I'm not.
08:42I'm not.
08:42I'm not.
08:43I'm not.
08:43I'm not.
08:44I'm not.
08:45I'm not.
08:46I'm not.
08:47Max and Ridd read the audience's minds using memories from childhood.
08:50These are some photographs from my childhood.
08:52I believe in mind reading, but hopefully, if we get this right, you will believe in a little bit of it, too.
08:57And later, Eric Eaton brings an audience member's creation to life.
09:02Draw whatever animal you're thinking of, and I'll go ahead and try to draw one with you, see if I can get a reading.
09:07One, two, three.
09:11Plus, Alexandria Duvivier creates mental connections that are sure to blow you away.
09:15The three last digits of your credit card.
09:22Masters of Illusion is just getting started.
09:25Stick around.
09:27This act features a mentalist whose performances are a blend of science, psychology, and pure magic.
09:44He has a gift for making the impossible seem possible, all while keeping you on the edge of your seat.
09:51Please welcome the one, the only, Jackson Ridd.
09:57I believe in mind reading, okay?
10:05There, I set it.
10:07Now, the reason is, is because I played a game with my dad, actually, where we would try to think of things around the house, in our backyard.
10:15And, uh, in fact, take some of these for me, please.
10:18These are some photographs from my childhood.
10:20There you go.
10:21Take some of those.
10:22And, uh, go ahead and look through them, uh, and find one of the photographs that catches your eye.
10:30You're just gonna think about one of those memories from my childhood.
10:33Anyways, this game that we would play, we'd just try to sit and think of what each other was thinking.
10:38No props, nothing else, except two people in their minds.
10:42So, do you have one of them?
10:44Isolate one of them from the others.
10:46Isolate one of them.
10:47You're just gonna focus on one.
10:49I'll take the rest.
10:50I'll take the rest.
10:51There you go.
10:54Focus on those things.
10:56Do not let me see what you're thinking about.
10:58And, uh, you know, in fact, if you can come up with a memory from your own childhood, something that you used to do,
11:04maybe a favorite pastime, something you did with friends, an activity, focus on that.
11:10Alright?
11:11I wanna see if I can try to get some of you as well.
11:13Now, you have those, yes?
11:14You have them locked inside your mind?
11:16Remember the imagery that's important.
11:19Okay?
11:20Let's go ahead and place yours back.
11:23And, uh, yours can go back as well.
11:25Maybe go up there.
11:26Excellent.
11:27Keep locked onto those memories as they will be very important shortly.
11:33Okay.
11:35I'm going to display a little piece of my childhood here in form of photos.
11:41You can tell I had a lot of different things going on in my life, right?
11:45Skateboarding to different animals that I would have.
11:49The scooter, the neighborhood cats, et cetera, et cetera.
11:53Ooh, I loved pizza as a kid.
11:55Loved pizza and sushi.
11:57Sushi was my favorite as well.
11:59Those are the two things.
12:00You know those things when I ask your kid favorite foods?
12:02It was those two.
12:03Sports, I would like to sit out in the, uh, nighttime and look at the sky.
12:09To me, looking at the sky and thinking about the universe and how big it was is sort of an inspiration for what I try to do with magic.
12:16Try to let your mind expand a little bit beyond the world that you currently see.
12:22So hopefully people are getting reminded of some things from their childhood here as we go along throughout this process.
12:29And, uh, hopefully you get to see a little bit of my life growing up as well.
12:34Here we go.
12:40As I'm putting these together here, I'm actually reminded of something else that I usually see.
12:51Sir, are you a human?
12:53Yes.
12:54Prove it.
12:55How many fire hydrants are in this photo?
12:57Nice.
12:58A little capture humor for us here.
13:00But you all are focused on a thought photograph from my childhood.
13:04And, um, hopefully some of you are thinking of your childhood as well.
13:12You.
13:13I'm getting something interesting for you.
13:15You, sir, right in the center.
13:17You're thinking about something.
13:18I'm almost seeing, like, characters or things.
13:22Uh, different sort of things all meshing into one.
13:26Uh, let's see.
13:27I'm getting some variety here.
13:28Like, maybe you're thinking of something in a garden.
13:31Or playing a little game with friends.
13:33Or, or maybe even a cartoon of yours.
13:37Um, some sort of game.
13:46Yeah, yeah.
13:47One of these called out to you a lot more than the others.
13:50For the first time, what, what were you focusing on?
13:54What memory?
13:55One that's up there.
13:56Yeah.
13:57Yeah.
13:58It's not there anymore, is it?
13:59Yeah.
14:00What was it?
14:01Do you remember what it looked like?
14:02Yeah.
14:03It was a ninja turtle.
14:07Very nice.
14:08Give him a round of applause.
14:09You may return back down to your teeth.
14:11Thank you very much, sir.
14:14Keep it going for her.
14:15I'm getting some sort of an activity for you, I feel like.
14:18You might have enjoyed doing something maybe like bicycling or going to the park or maybe even swimming pool, playing around with a little mini DV cameras.
14:34Kind of thing for you.
14:35Do you remember what image you were thinking of?
14:36Mm-hmm.
14:37What was it?
14:38Um, it was the playground with the sliding boards.
14:39The playground indeed.
14:40Give her a round of applause.
14:41You may have a seat.
14:42Thank you very much.
14:43Sorry.
14:44And as I was going through these, the pool one stood out to me as this activity of doing with your friends, your family, sort of summertime activity.
14:50In fact, someone here from the audience is also thinking of a summertime activity, something they would do when it's really, really hot.
14:51Oh, you're smiling, sir.
14:52Yeah.
14:53Yeah.
14:54Yeah.
14:55Yeah.
14:56Yeah.
14:57Yeah.
14:58Yeah.
14:59Yeah.
15:00Yeah.
15:01Yeah.
15:02Yeah.
15:03Yeah.
15:04Yeah.
15:05Yeah.
15:06Yeah.
15:07Yeah.
15:08Yeah.

15:15Yeah.
15:16Yeah.
15:17Yeah.
15:18Yeah.
15:19Yeah.
15:20Focus on that thing for me.
15:21Whatever you have in mind, that feeling.
15:23Seeing lots of friends.
15:26I'm almost seeing like, yeah, like a little barbecuing or something like that.
15:30Really go back into that memory for me, please.
15:32Lots of funds.
15:33I'm almost seeing like, like, like a water fight or something like that.
15:38Is that so?
15:39Are you thinking of like times in your, in your backyard with your pool at home?
15:44Yeah.
15:45Yeah.
15:46Very nice.
15:47Give her an applause.
15:48Good stuff.
15:53Uh, and you, I know you're still up here feeling lonely.
15:56Hello.
15:57Hello.
15:58But you have, you chose one from my childhood.
15:59One memory.
16:01You were thinking of a game that you would play with a friend, right?
16:04Talking to each other.
16:05Is that right?
16:06Maybe.
16:07Yeah.
16:08Were you thinking about the walkie-talkies finding a chance?
16:10Give a round of applause.
16:11You may have a seat.
16:12We have one more.
16:14One more person.
16:15I feel like maybe over here.
16:17I know all of you folks know that I believe in mind reading, but hopefully if you get this
16:21right, you will believe in a little bit of it too.
16:24You, miss, you had another activity that you used to do.
16:29When you were a kid, when you were much, much younger, you would put on a uniform of some
16:35sort.
16:36I'm getting some sort of a ritual with like other kids.
16:39You'd get together and you'd practice something.
16:41Is that right?
16:42Yep.
16:43Were you really into ballet when you were younger?
16:46I was.
16:48Give a round of applause, please.
16:50Thank you very much.
16:53Coming out.
16:54Megan Fan copies coins in this mind-blowing illusion.
16:57Take the centavo out of there.

19:35Can you just give it a little shake, please?
19:36No way.
19:37Here.
19:38I want you to see.
19:39There is.
19:40Yeah.
19:41I want to make sure everyone can hear that.
19:42Right.
19:43Can you open up your hand for me, please?
19:44Let's see.
19:45Oh my gosh.
19:46This is.
19:47You've squeezed the lid on really tightly.
19:48There you go.
19:49Centavo.
19:50Right.
19:51Uh, but now there's only one way to know if it's the same one.
19:54Can you, can you open up your hand?
19:55Show.
19:56Pick it up.
19:57Show everyone the half dollar.
19:58There's nothing else in your hand.
19:59You just have two points in your hand.
20:00There it is.
20:03I'll take that back.
20:04And I'll take that back.
20:07Another round of applause for my few friends, Keith.
20:08And it's down and yes.
20:10Now this performer is a master of combining quick wit with mind blowing magic.
20:19He has entertained audiences across the country with his very unique blend of humor and illusion.
20:25Please welcome the hilarious and talented Eric Eaton.
20:34What's your name here dear?
20:35Angel.
20:36Angel, nice to meet you Angel.
20:37Angel, I'm going to give you this pad here and I'm also going to give you a marker.
20:41Here you go.
20:42Angel, traveling a lot for this line of business, I have a lot of time to kill.
20:47One of my favorite things to do is to go to the zoo.
20:49Now what's cool is every time you go to the zoo you get to see different animals.
20:52Some are real cool.
20:53You get to see lions and tigers.
20:54Other zoos, not so much.
20:55Let me give you an example.
20:57One zoo I went to had cows in their zoo.
21:00Being from Texas, we have those on the side of the road.
21:03Some zoos we went to had deer in their zoos.
21:06Being from Texas, we have those in the middle of our highways.
21:10Now what I want you to do Angel, Angel, I want you to think of any zoo animal.
21:14Imagine you're walking through the zoo.
21:16I want you to draw whatever animal you're thinking of.
21:19And I'll go ahead and try to draw one with you, see if I can get a reading.
21:36Alright, I am locked in Angel.
21:38Angel, how are you doing over there?
21:51That's a Picasso.
21:53You got it Angel?
21:54Yeah.
21:55Angel, what I want you to do now, Angel, I want you to think about what you just drew.
21:59Angel, did the animal you draw, was it a reptile?
22:04No.
22:05No.
22:06So it's not a snake?
22:08No.
22:09Okay.
22:10Um, Angel, what did you draw?
22:14I drew a giraffe.
22:16A giraffe.
22:17Alright, I'm just missing the legs.
22:20Angel, let's try this.
22:21Angel, take a couple steps that way.
22:22Okay.
22:23Angel, take a look here.
22:24Stacey, do you mind joining me?
22:25Stacey, we're going to grab these poles right here.
22:27And we're just going to go one, two, three, now.
22:33Is that...
22:44That your animal?
22:46Is that your animal?
22:47Brand of applause for them.
22:48Coming up, Alexandria DuVivier creates mental connections that are sure to blow you away.
23:10The three last digits of your credit card.
23:14And later, Boris Wilde lets audience members determine the fate of this card trick.
23:22Obviously, we've never met before. We've never, you know, you seem very happy about that.
23:26Because anything is possible at Masters of Illusion.
23:30Masters of Illusion will never cease to amaze. Don't go anywhere.
23:44Magic taps into the deepest corners of our minds, sparking curiosity and wonder.
23:50I'm thrilled to be your guide through this magical journey, and we don't know where...
23:54Yeah, I heard it. Eric Jones, ladies and gentlemen.
24:00Okay.
24:02So this is what happens when a magician gets mad.
24:06Roger that, sir.
24:07You are gonna like this.
24:08Okay.
24:09That's not a request.
24:10Okay.
24:11I like it already, Eric. I like it.
24:13This, believe it or not, you're seeing something absolutely impossible.
24:18It looks like a really sharp knife going through a deck of playing cards.
24:21It does look like that to me.
24:22This is impossible.
24:24Can I have you do me a huge favor, Dean?
24:27Is it gonna hurt?
24:28Well, depends on how you act.
24:29Okay.
24:30I will do it.
24:31What I'd love you to do, if you don't mind.
24:33I don't mind.
24:34I want you to just open your hands, just like so.
24:36Oh, great.
24:38And watch this, folks.
24:41The reason this is impossible, it's because we've got a block of steel for the man of steel.
24:47It is a block of steel.
24:49Dang!
24:51That's kind of cool.
24:52Absolutely impossible.
24:53Wow.
24:57I don't get it.
24:58I don't get it, but let's see what other incredible feats our magicians have in store for us.
25:04Let's please give a warm welcome to the extraordinary, Alexandra Duvivier.
25:11Wow.
25:13You are amazing, and I've done nothing.
25:17Thank you so much.
25:19So, you know what?
25:20I'm very happy to be here because I would like to make some mental connections with some of you.
25:27Now, beware, I'm French, so I know that French may be known for physical connections.
25:36I'm watching you now.
25:38Yeah, physical, you know, French kiss and so on, but no, none of that tonight.
25:41Only mental connection.
25:43I would like maybe to play with you, sir.
25:45Would you like to play with me?
25:46Yeah.
25:47Thank you so much.
25:48You can stay at your seat even easier.
25:50Let me tell you what I need.
25:53I would like you to think about one of the movie you like, but don't say it out loud.
25:59Just think of it.
26:02Okay.
26:03Do you have it?
26:04Yeah, I'm ready.
26:05And we're going to try to do a mental connection together.
26:08What a plan.
26:09Okay, maybe to help me because I am not very confident, can you please picture the poster of the movie in your mind?
26:18Uh, okay.
26:19Wait, don't say, huh?
26:22Now, send it.
26:25Oh, that's very surprising.
26:32Oops.
26:33Exactly what I wanted to do.
26:37Don't, uh, I must stay concentrated.
26:40I think I have something.
26:41It's very surprising, but I like it.
26:44And now I will cover it with my little thing.
26:46So now you can say out loud the movie you were thinking of.
26:51What was the movie?
26:53Back when it used to.
26:55I told you.
26:56Surprising.
26:59Let me back to the future.
27:04Thank you very much.
27:06Let's change subject.
27:07I would like to maybe with you, my dear.
27:10Would you like to help me?
27:11Even better.
27:12We're going, no.
27:13You are going to think about a dish you like to eat.
27:17Be careful.
27:18Not something that your grandma used to make only for you.
27:21No.
27:22Something that everybody knows.
27:24Don't say it.
27:25Just think about it.
27:28Got it?
27:30Let's try to make a connection.
27:31Maybe think about the recipe.
27:34It will help me.
27:35The recipe.
27:36Okay?
27:40Oh, yeah.
27:45Yeah.
27:46Oh, yeah.
27:47I love it.
27:48I love it too.
27:49So let me cover that.
27:50It is written down.
27:51No, and so now it's the moment.
27:53What was your dish?
27:54Fried chicken.
27:55Fried chicken.
27:56This is not a French dish.
27:58I was expecting something.
28:02Oh, I'm going to cry, but that's fine.
28:05Fried chicken, but it's very good.
28:08Fried chicken.
28:09Not French, but good.
28:11Okay, and now I would like to challenge myself with someone.
28:14Oh, with you, monsieur.
28:16Sir, you're going to think about the three last digits of your credit card.
28:26Of course not.
28:27No, no confidential information between us.
28:30Of course not.
28:31And you're laughing because you know I am able to do that.
28:35No, no, no.
28:36No, please think you're going to make up to invent a three digit number.
28:40Don't say, just think about it.
28:43Do you have it in your mind?
28:44Can you write the numbers big, big, big on the screen?
28:49So it will be easier for me to get.
28:54Oh, I received something.
28:56Anyway.
28:57Oh, la la.
28:58Okay.
28:59Oh, that's not the...
29:02Think harder.
29:03You make it difficult for me.
29:06Oh, why you do it so well.
29:08I've never had that before.
29:09Let me make a wish.
29:11Oh.
29:12Now, it is all written down.
29:14Sir, what was your number?
29:16Seven, eight, six.
29:18Okay.
29:19Badly written, but you get the idea.
29:21So now, it's time to see how the mental connection went.
29:26You, I'm sorry for the mic, you hide a movie.
29:32But I have to say that I didn't write at all Back to the Future.
29:38Oh.
29:39I wrote Michael G. Fox, who played in the movie.
29:51And, um, you know, I have to say that for fried chicken, I had something, uh, I don't know,
29:55the connection was not clear between us because I have seen reversed.
29:58I have written down chicken and fried.
30:05I don't know what's happening.
30:12And you are me.
30:15But nevertheless, I have written down seven, eight, six, three.
30:20Thank you very much.
30:21Thank you very much.
30:24Coming up, Boris Wilde lets audience members determine the fate of this cartoon.
30:28Obviously, we've never met before.
30:29We've never, you know, you seem very...
30:32Because anything is possible at Masters of Illusion.
30:36Plus, things get lit during Ed Alonso's explosive act.
30:40My circus of magic.
30:44Masters of Illusion has wonders in store.
30:47Stick around.
30:51This performer is a world-class magician and a FISM award winner.

31:31All right.
31:32Bonjour.
31:33Hello.
31:34My name is Boris Wilde.
31:35And I will need someone to help me on stage, please.
31:39Oh, hello.
31:40What's your name?
31:41I'm Abby.
31:42Oh, Abby.
31:43Wonderful.
31:44Would you please come on stage to help me please, Abby?
31:45Yeah, sure.
31:46Yeah, please give her a big round of applause.
31:47Yes.
31:50Hello, Abby.
31:51Have a seat.
31:52It's nice to meet you.
31:54All right.
31:55Well, I have a deck of cards here.
31:56Yeah.
31:5752 different and well-shuffled cards as you can see.
32:00Ooh.
32:02I know.
32:04Yeah.
32:05So the idea for you is going to be very simple.
32:06I just want you to remember the order of the 52 cards in the...
32:09Okay.
32:10No, no, no, no, no.
32:11No, we're not going to do that.
32:12No.
32:13I want you to do something very simple.
32:14I'll give you the deck.
32:15I want you just to shuffle the cards.
32:16Please shuffle them as much as you want.
32:19Just to make sure they're in a totally random order.
32:21Oh, my God.
32:22We have a professional tonight.
32:23I kind of like that.
32:24Ooh.
32:25That was...
32:26That was good.
32:27No, you're good.
32:28Yeah.
32:29You can do one more if you want because I mean to do a few things in the meantime.
32:31Yeah, exactly.
32:32Yeah, yeah.
32:33Make sure that...
32:34I didn't feel good about that.
32:35Yeah.
32:36Make sure you're happy with that because if you're happy, we're all happy.
32:38Look at that.
32:39It was perfect.
32:40Ooh, nice.
32:41All right.
32:42So shuffle as much as you want.
32:43If you want or if you get bored, just leave the cards here because in the meantime, I have
32:46to do a few things here.
32:47I have...
32:48Oh, hello, sir.
32:49Hello.
32:50What's your name?
32:51Lance.
32:52Lance.
32:53All right, Lance.
32:54Okay.
32:55So Lance, as you all know, there are in the deck 13 different values from ace to king,
32:58right?
32:59I want you please to choose one of these values, the one you want.
33:03Once you have it, please say it out loud.
33:05Seven.
33:06Seven.
33:07Lucky seven.
33:08Hopefully lucky for us today.
33:09And also four suits in the deck with clubs, hearts, spays, and diamonds.
33:12Same thing.
33:13I want you to choose one of those suits.
33:16Any one you want.
33:17Diamond.
33:18The diamonds.
33:19All right.
33:20Okay.
33:21Thank you very much, Lance.
33:22Good.
33:23So obviously we've never met before.
33:24We've never, you know, you seem very happy about that.
33:26Okay.
33:28So, and Lance, you know, right here.
33:31Just chose, made two, three choices.
33:34First was the seven and then the diamonds, which creates, of course, a random card that
33:38we could not know in advance, obviously the seven of diamonds.
33:41Abby, I have a question for you now.
33:44Do you have any idea where the seven of diamonds might be in this deck?
33:49Could not tell you.
33:50That's the right answer, obviously, because you shuffle this deck.
33:54So no one can know, of course, where the seven of diamonds is in this deck here.
33:58This card, the seven of diamonds can be absolutely anywhere here.
34:02The thing is, it could be, it could be in the top section, the bottom section, the middle section.
34:06It can be just anywhere.
34:07But I have a feeling that you can guess where the seven of diamonds is in this deck.
34:12Even if you shuffle, right?
34:13There are 52 cards here.
34:15Can you think of a number between one and 52?
34:18Could be any number, personal number, or just a number that pops into your mind.
34:2313.
34:2413.
34:25Ooh, all right.
34:26Any personal reason for that or just?
34:28It's Taylor Swift's favorite number.
34:30It's Taylor Swift's favorite number.
34:32Well, I hope the spirit of Taylor will be here with us today.
34:35Because what happened here is that we had a card randomly created by you, Lance,
34:41that no one could have known in advance, so we're sure it's any card.
34:44And you just thought of a number, which is 13, that of course, no one could have known in advance.
34:50So it's any number.
34:51We have any cards.
34:52We have any number.
34:53And here, we have a deck that you shuffled, Abby, right?
34:59See where this is going, right?
35:02No way.
35:04Well, way.
35:06Because anything is possible at Masters of Illusion.
35:09So, let's have a look at the 13th card in this deck here.
35:141, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.
35:21The 13th card is right here underneath.
35:23I'm not going to do any funny moves.
35:25Abby is right here, very close on the side.
35:27Hundreds of people here are burning my hands.
35:29Several cameras too.
35:30So I cannot do anything.
35:31I'm going to do one thing only.
35:32This.
35:33Not with this hand, with the other one, obviously.
35:35Just to show you the 13th card.
35:37If that card happens to be a red card, it's kind of cool.
35:41If it's a diamond, it's even better.
35:44But if it happens to be the Seven of Diamonds,
35:47it's going to be a freaking miracle.
35:48Because there is no way, right?
35:50So, if it happens, please make some noise.
35:53Because the 13th card in this deck that you shuffled, Abby, is...
36:01It is!
36:03The Seven of Diamonds!
36:06We made it!
36:08A miracle!
36:10Ooh la la!
36:12Wow, thank you so much, Happy for your help.
36:20Coming up, things get lit
36:22during Ed Alonso's exclusive act.
