(crowd cheers)
(upbeat music)
- Are you ready for the ultimate magic experience?
(crowd cheers)
Alright, I'm Dean Cain and welcome to Masters of Illusion.
(crowd cheers)
Why don't we start the show and begin to experience.
- Dean, Dean.
- The impossible, possibly Nick Dopuch ladies and gentlemen.
- Hi, how are you guys doing?
Alright, I'm gonna teach you a trick that you can do.
Here, hold on, let me put these on.
Nothing suspicious about this at all, just so you know.
- I just know that I won't get into that.
- All right, I'm, here's what we're gonna do, Dean.
All I want you to do, I want you to go ahead
and say stop whenever you want to.
- Stop. - Okay, right here.
Now go ahead and take a look at that card.
- Got it.
- Got it, okay, good.
All right, now this is very, very simple.
All you gotta do, Dean, do me a favor.
Name the card, what was it?
- Four of hearts.
- Four of hearts, you're not gonna believe this, Dean.
I actually have your card written on the inside of these.
What does that say right there?
- Your card.
- It says your card.
It actually says the words your card.
- I can do that trick.
- Put the glasses on, first. - Thank you so much.
- You gotta have the gag first.
- If I, but the thing is, if I put the, okay,
now you're not gonna recognize me.
- I know, I got you.
Oh, all right, no, it's true.
- There it is.
- [Nick] I know, I got you, oh yeah, oh yeah.
So here's what I want you to do.
- Sir. - Say stop whenever you want.
- Stop. - Perfect.
Right here, right below the three here,
take a look at that card.
Don't let Dean see it.
Okay, I'm the one that does that by the way.
All right, so ask him what his card was.
- Hey, what was your card?
- [Man] Five of diamonds.
- All right, tell me, get on the inside.
- Five of diamonds, that's amazing because you know what?
If you look here, you'll see, wow, it says five of diamonds.
(crowd cheers)
- I told you you could do it, I told you you could do it.
- How'd you do that?
- I don't know, how'd you do that is the question.
- How'd I do that?
I don't know, Nick Dopuch, ladies and gentlemen.
(upbeat music)
Wow.
(crowd cheers)
- All right, get ready to witness some
of the most astounding magic you have ever seen.
This illusionist has honed his craft to perfection
and he's about to demonstrate the true power of magic.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it
for the incredible Christian Mascia.
(dramatic music)
(crowd cheers)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(metal clanks)
(dramatic music continues)
(crowd cheers)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(crowd cheers)
(dramatic music)
(crowd cheers)
- You're in for a real treat with this magician.
He's been wowing audiences around the world
with his incredible tricks and illusions.
Prepare to be astonished as we welcome Andi Gladwin.
(crowd cheers)
(upbeat music)
- I have three passions in life, card tricks,
mind reading and convincing people to be my friend
despite those other two passions.
(crowd laughs)
So I already have some cards.
I guess the next thing I need is a friend.
So, hi there, what is your name?
- Warren. - Warren.
Warren, your job is to keep an eye
on this deck of cards for me for the rest of the show.
I'm gonna throw these cards to you.
So I will put a rubber band around them,
otherwise it's gonna make quite the mess.
And I'm gonna have you think of a card.
So once you get the cards,
just hold them with the faces towards yourself
and pull open the deck and look at any card.
You can stand up for me, and catch the deck.
Good catch, look at any card.
Remember that card, not just for the next few minutes
not just for the rest of the evening,
but for the rest of the week.
You're up for it?
Okay, now let's pass the deck along to somebody next to you.
That's great, you could stand up too,
and please do the same thing.
Remember any card, you have it.
And then pass the deck along again
and stand up and think of any card,
you have it and then throw the cards back towards me.
Perfect catch.
All right, here we go.
Now I'm gonna try and read your minds
and work out what card each of you are thinking of.
To make it easier for me,
everyone turn around, face the back of the room
and project the image of the card into the back of the room.
So everyone turn around,
and just imagine that card really big
on the back wall of the studio.
Okay, I see over here a black card here,
a red here, a high card.
Okay, I think I have it.
Two of spades, four of hearts, Jack of spades.
If I named your card, please turn around.
(upbeat music)
(crowd claps)
But you know, some people think perhaps that's easy,
because I'm just trying to pick up on playing cards.
So we're gonna try and up the ante a little bit.
I have three things written on these cards.
I have number, if you pick this card in a second,
just think of a number between one and 52.
I have color, just think of any color.
Notice, by the way,
color is spelled the correct way with the U.
Like every Britt should.
And then card, and if you see card, just think
of the card that you are already thinking of.
Everyone good?
So let's mix these up and each of you
just take out anyone you like, go for it.
Hold onto it for a second and then once you've had a look
just have a sneaky look at what you have
and then I'd like you to just throw the card away
so that I can't get near it.
Okay, great.
So now I have to try and get not just a playing card
but also a color and a number.
Just look at me while I try and get the thoughts.
You're scaring me, okay, all right, I got it.
(upbeat music)
Purple, 12, Jack of spades.
If I got your card color or number, please sit down.
(upbeat music)
(crowd claps)
- But Warren, I asked you to keep an eye
on this deck of cards the whole time.
Have I been anywhere near it?
- No. - This is where
things get really interesting
because this deck of cards has been on display
so I could go nowhere near it.
And I wanna show you something interesting.
The card was the Jack of spades,
the number was 12 and the color was purple.
Look, I'm gonna count to the 12th card.
One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, 10, 11.
The card was the Jack of spades.
The 12th card is the Jack of spades,
but still somebody thought the color purple,
which makes this pretty cool
because this is the only purple Jack of spades in the world.
(crowd claps)
Thank you so much.
(upbeat music)
(fire roars)
- [Dean] The impossible is made possible
by Maxence Vire, next.
(fire roars)
(upbeat music)
(crowd cheers)
(fire roars)
(crowd cheers)
What happens when you mix
all the charisma of a grifter with the talent
of some of the all time greats?
Well, let's find out with the extraordinary acts
of Maxence Vire.
(electronic music)
- I'm so happy to be here at Sanctuary America.
(crowd claps)
(electronic music)
- Oh, do you mind if I suck my lollipop?
It helps me to stay focused.
Please, could you thinking a celebrity in your mind.
You have celebrity?
Perfect, tell us what you're thinking.
- Morgan Freeman.
- [Spectator] Yes.
- I knew it.
(crowd laughs)
I knew it, you know why?
Because I'm a mentalist.
(crowd laughs)
I have a coin purse and inside the coin purse
I have four American silver dollars.
Okay, now watch carefully.
Four coins and two ends.
Okay, I will do story for you.
I spread the coin on the mat like that.
And now watch carefully.
The first coin is better here,
traveling, but you don't expect it.
(crowd claps)
The second one
seems to be a real magic.
And the last one,
you lost.
(crowd claps)
remember I use only one, two, three and four coin.
No more, no less.
I will do it again, slowly.
Two coin on the bottom
and two coin on the top very slowly for you.
Watch.
(Maxence warbles)
(crowd claps)
Okay, okay.
- I'm lying.
In order for doing that?
I have a secret move.
Let me show you closely, come closely.
You can see the controlling, watch.
Ah, you blink.
(electronic music)
(crowd laughs)
- I know, I know, very difficult, watch.
(electronic music)
(Maxence chirps)
You blink again.
(crowd laughs)
Yeah, this coin is so difficult,
but I'm professional so I can do it.
Very sorry for you, watch.
(electronic music)
Two and two or
three and one?
(crowd claps)
- I can try better with four coins
(electronic music)
at the same time.
(electronic music)
(crowd cheers)
Look, wait, wait, wait, wait.
- Let me show you more.
Gimme your hand like that, please.
I put the coin in your hands and the question is simple.
How many can you see in your hands?
- Four. - Correct.
Listen to me.
In a few seconds, you will grab the first coin of the stack.
Only the first, with two fingers.
Clearly like that you will put in my hands.
But it's so important to close this hand at the same time,
very fast, like that I can't steal another coin.
I trust in you.
Got the first coin.
Gimme your hand and close your hand very fast.
(suspenseful music)
(Maxence warbles)
Good job.
(crowd laughs)
Please, turn your wrist, good job, watch.
(Maxence exhales deeply)
(Maxence shouts)
Did you feel anything?
I know, it's all the problem of my life.
(crowd laughs)
But normally, normally,
the coin's gone.
Not gone,
just traveling.
Because if you turn your wrist and if you open your hand
and throw a coin on the mat, do it.
You have again one, two, three and four coins.
(electronic music)
(crowd claps)
(crowd cheers)
Any question, any question?
Any question, no, good.
Yeah.
(all laugh)
My friends, misdirection and deceit
are my stocking trade
because the coin
never been here.
(electronic music)
(crowd gasps)
Yeah, I know.
(all laugh)
(electronic music)
(all laugh)
And you know why?
They never moved from the beginning.
- Here?
Yes, because you don't believe me.
But here.
(coins clink)
We have again one, two, three and four coins.
(crowd claps)
But wait, wait, wait.
Do you remember when I asked you to think a celebrity
in your mind?
You told me Morgan Freeman, yes?
I knew it.
Remember, because I'm a mentalist.
No, I'm kidding, I can't read in your mind,
but I can't do this.
(Maxence roars)
(participant laughs)
Wait.
(electronic music)
And watch.
This is exactly.
- Morgan Freeman.
(participant laughs)
- Morgan Freeman ladies and gentlemen.
(crowd cheers)
And this is my country.
(electronic music)
(fire roars)
- [Announcer] When we return.
an impossible prediction by Wayne Hoffman.
Next.
(fire roars)
(upbeat music)
(fire roars)
(crowd cheers)
- What if I told you I could predict the future?
I am predicting right now the performer coming to stage
at this very moment is Wayne Hoffman.
(upbeat music)
(crowd cheers)
(Wayne laughs)
- Did you ever have the feeling you knew what was
going to happen before it happened?
Well, some say it's possible.
And tonight we're gonna find out.
And in order to do this, I need somebody to help me out.
So if you want to experience something amazing
just raise your hand.
Who's in, we, you need to be excited and ready.
Who's in?
You wanna do it?
Come on up, let's give her a round of applause.
(crowd cheers)
Shanae. - Shelby.
Shelby, welcome to the party.
So before the show,
we handed everybody in the audience a toy.
Everybody hold up your toys,
so we can get a shot to everybody.
You can see all different types of toys.
You can put 'em down now, Shelby, just so the folks
at home realize that this is not prearranged in any way.
What I did was I made little notes of every seat number.
Every seat number in here is actually written down
on a piece of paper.
So there's I16 here.
Grab, grab us a couple out of there.
Just grab one actually, just, yep, open it up.
Yep, and read it out loud.
What do we got there? - Two.
- Okay, put it here.
Okay, since you picked two, do me a favor,
I want you to name out loud, two colors.
- Orange and blue.
We're gonna do one more thing.
This time we're gonna pick a seat number.
Whoever you pick,
we're gonna see what toy they have
at that seat number, okay?
So, do you feel lucky?
- Yes. - Alright,
we're gonna mix 'em up.
Okay, reach in, don't think about it.
Just reach in, grab one.
And before we open it, do you want to change your mind?
- No. - She's happy
with the mind that she has.
So we mix these up, open it up,
tell us what seat number did you get?
And we'll see what toy's there.
- Two. - Oh wow.
That must be your lucky number.
So it's actually row B2.
So B would be second row, second seat.
Let's see one here and here.
Raise your hand if you're in B2.
That's you?
What toy do you have?
- Motorcycle. - A little motorcycle.
In the beginning, you chose the number two randomly.
And what were your colors that you thought of?
- Orange and blue.
- Okay, so two, orange and blue, motorcycles.
Well, you know, it's quite strange
because not only did I have a feeling that was gonna happen,
I made a prediction behind this claw.
Let's check it out, let's drop the cloth.
