baffling limitations astounding
vanishing mind-blowing sleight of hand
and impossible illusions no magician is

finally reveal featuring the WWE Divas
tonight the sexy WWE divas make a
dramatic appearance when the magician
transforms their pictures into the
incredible first ladies of wrestling
plus the masked magician pulls back the
curtain and exposes the secrets to
walking through a giant wall of steel
being sliced in half by a deadly buzzsaw
turning a Bentley into a Lamborghini
making a soda can float through the air
vanishing a simple toothpick and an
entire string quartet and making a
gorgeous woman disappear right before
your very eyes all that and more right
now on Magic's biggest secrets finally
revealed to start things off tonight the
magician is going to face the
razor-sharp surgical steel teeth of this
Industrial buzzsaw
as he is soon to find out the saw blade
is real and the teeth are incredibly
sharp ouch that's gonna leave a mark
the magician sets the blade in motion
and commands it to rise to the top of
the tower
remember the old saying what goes up
must come down
so for safety's sake the blade stops
before the girls walk underneath
the assistants have wheeled a large
coffin like box beneath the blade let's
hope this doesn't become the magician's
final resting place
well it is raised he steps inside taking
a moment to get himself comfortable in
this very uncomfortable situation this
is probably a good time to remind you
not to attempt this the magician may be
giving away the secrets but he's a
trained professional the front of the
box lowered we can see that he's held in
place by a wide steel band in handcuffs
he's not going anywhere
from the time the blade begins its
descent our magician has only 30 seconds
to escape first he's got to contend with
the handcuffs shouldn't be too tricky
only 20 seconds left this isn't going
well the assistants are under strict
orders not to stop the blade but will
they obey the blade is now just inches
away will he escape in time
nope yes not
well this is a first and we've still got
an hour's worth of tricks to expose too
bad he didn't save this trick for his
Big Finish could have killed two birds
with one stone or one giant blade looks
like the masked man is finally met his
end but I think we should see some proof
that he's really cut in half on cue the
girls separate the box so long magician
it was nice knowing yet the danger in
this illusion is about as authentic as
it gets complete with a very real very
sharp industrial saw and the handcuffs
on they're real too you can see that
there is no way to escape this deathtrap
not within 30 seconds and that's really
the magician's Drive to the table so is
the magician really being sliced in half
by the razor-sharp teeth of the giant
saw know he still has more secrets to
expose starting with this one
the first secret of course is in the Box
the girl's wheel under the stage when we
see him get into the box and supposedly
lie down he's actually slipping his legs
down into a secret compartment the table
legs are Hollow and large enough to fit
a person or half of one as you can see
from the back there is plenty of room to
slide his legs inside the compartment
with the help of some handy steps like
the rungs of a ladder
his upper body remains visible on the
table
so what about the other side we saw his
whole body on the table the legs look
real the secret here is that a body
double has climbed into the box before
the illusion began his legs stay on the
table while the rest of his body hangs
upside down in another secret
compartment
the doubles legs are the ones we see
secured by the stocks the magician is in
the front half the double is in the back
and that steel band will cover the gap
with the body doubled in place before
the illusion begins the audience has no
idea they're about to be duped but how
do two men make the illusion of one body
so convincing when the steel bands are
lifted away we can see the space between
them when the bands are in place they
cover the gap the audience has no idea
they aren't looking at the magician but
that is a real saw blade and it is the
magicians shirt being torn from his body
there is real danger here so to ensure
the magician's safety there is a gap
between the two halves of the table
allowing room for the saw as it is
lowered wooden partitions on each side
protect the men from harm but when the
two sides of the table are pulled apart
it looks as though the magician has been
sliced in two now you know how it's done
here's a simple trick with an ordinary
wooden toothpick that will make you the
life of the party
the magician displays the toothpick to
show that it hasn't been tampered with
he holds it in plain view and makes a
few magical waves with his hand poof
the wooden pick is gone vanished without
so much as a hint of sawdust left look
where did it go so how did the magician
make the toothpick vanish the secret is
simple and very deceptive it all comes
down to this tiny square of tape the
tape and the toothpick are all you'll
need to pull this off and amaze your
friends the magician places the
toothpick on a piece of tape and
slightly bends the tape around it but
not all the way the tape attaches to the
back of his thumb without the glove it
would go right on the thumbnail notice
the toothpick points backward when his
thumb is extended this is the key to the
trick the magician carefully removes the
pick leaving the tape on his thumb
the slight bend in the tape forms a
sticky pocket for the toothpick to make
it vanish all he does is open his hands
and the toothpick is hidden from view
stuck the backside of his thumb here we
see the magician placed the toothpick
into the pocket in the tape this action
is normally concealed by the fingers of
his right hand
now he'll slowly open his hand so you
can see the movement of the pic there it
is stuck along the backside of his thumb
from the front you can't see a thing
vanishing a toothpick it's a trick you
can nail every time up next the secret
to the classic cut and restored rope and
find out where a beautiful girl really
goes when she disappears without a trace
and later a Bentley turns into a
Lamborghini and the WWE divas make a
surprise appearance plus the magician
shows you how to walk through a Great
Wall of Steel when Magic's biggest
secrets finally revealed returns
here the magician has one of Magic's
most popular impromptu tricks all he
needs to baffle his audience this time
is a length of rope which he proves to
be strong and unprepared and some
scissors they'll make their appearance
in a minute he gathers the rope to find
the exact center that makes a loop and
holds it in his hand
time for the scissors told you they were
part of this trick using the scissors
the magician cuts through the center of
the rope eventually there's no camera
trick involved that's definitely a cut
piece of rope he twists the cut ends
gives them a wave and magically the rope
is back in one piece
the tricky masked man has done it again
so how did the magician cut the rope
into right before our eyes and then
restore it to one solid piece the simple
answer is he didn't really cut the rope
at all here are the secrets
concealed in the magician's hand at the
start of the trick as a small piece of
identical rope gathered into a loop this
is the rope that gets cut by the
scissors the magician is careful never
to let this piece of rope be seen by the
audience when he places the long rope in
his hand he pulls the short loop up and
above his fingertips from this angle you
can see him pull his sleight of hand the
long rope is held by his thumb while the
short loop is visible above the top of
his hand he takes the scissors and cuts
straight through the short loop when he
separates the pieces it appears the long
rope has been sliced into pretty sneaky
if you ask me all that's left to do is
twist the short cut pieces out of the
way and tuck them into his fist he
carefully concealed them as he slides
the long rope through and no one bothers
to look in his closed fist
and that's how he creates the illusion
of restoring a rope by magic and now the
magician will perform another classic
illusion one of the most famous and all
of magic he displays an ornate chair
that's perched atop a platform he walks
around the chair to make sure we get a
good look at it
a magician then calls in one of his
beautiful assistants so we can get a
good look at her
this guy's got it made ever the
gentleman he helps her step up onto the
platform where she takes her position in
the chair just like a beauty queen on
her throne two more assistants enter
with a large sheet I think we've seen
enough of the magician to know that
something magical happens when he gets
his girls under the sheets the
assistants raised the sheet for a moment
there's the girl still in the chair he
can't resist seeing or one last time I
don't blame him the sheet goes back up
and the assistants cover the girl there
she is still in the chair
a magical wave some Lightning and
she's gone vanished in an instant
leaving behind the lone masked man and
his fancy chair maybe he should sit down
and rethink this trick
so how does our masked magician make his
lovely lady disappear don't worry she
doesn't go far here are the secrets as
always the magic moments happen beneath
the sheets and a lot of things are going
on simultaneously first there's a hidden
breakaway seat built in the bottom of
the chair when the curtain is raised for
the first time the girl in the chair
releases the seat
allowing her to slide her lovely legs
into a trapdoor hidden in the platform
from above we see how she releases the
seat and steps into the trap when the
assistants lower the sheet it appears as
though the girl is still sitting in the
chair the next time the curtain is
raised it covers the chair completely
but that's not the girl notice the black
section in the center of the chair it
conceals the next secret this black
headpiece when flipped in this position
it takes the place of the girl's head as
the assistants lift the sheet the
magician secretly flips up the false
head as the girl slips down into the
platform and disappears from view here
it is from above
the head form drops into place and is
covered by the sheet to the audience
it looks like the girl is still seated
in the chair she seemed to vanish but
where did she go the staircase looks too
thin for the girl to fit inside but upon
closer inspection we see the staircase
is actually thicker than it first
appears
the girl disappears into the platform
and from the back we can see that it is
actually hollowed allowing plenty of
room for the girl to hide with her legs
in one side the girl is able to arch her
back and squeeze into the other half she
reaches up and raises the seat bottom
back into position
and now our assistant is completely
concealed within the platform when the
magician pulls back the sheet the motion
causes the false headpiece to drop back
behind the center of the chair where it
started and the girl is gone leaving the
magician plenty of time to think about
what he's done
next the secrets of turning one luxury
car into another with the help of two
WWE divas and making an ordinary dime
penetrate a solid sheet of rubber and
coming up a great wall of steel is no
match for the Masked Magician find out
how he walks through it with ease and
how he makes an orchestra disappear
when Magic's bigger secrets finally
revealed
returns
the magician will now attempt a classic
bit of close-up magic using a shot glass
a dime and a small sheet of rubber the
dime is balanced on top of the rubber
sheet and the magician is stretching the
ends of it over the shot glass he points
to the dime which in Masked Magician
terms means we'll watch this a magical
wave and he begins to gently rub the
dime with his finger and tell it's gone
but where
he lifts the piece of rubber and there
it is in the bottom of the shot glass a
genuine diamond can magically pass
through solid rubber so how did the math
magician make the dime penetrate the
rubber sheet it looks impossible but
there's a secret the piece of rubber is
a special high tension polymer the kind
used by dentists that's made to stretch
a long way without breaking it can be
pulled so tightly around the dime that
it becomes see-through and gives the
illusion that the dime is resting on top
of it in fact
the dime is really on the opposite side
this side with a dime is the one that
goes over the glass when the magician
stretches the sheet around the glass the
coin appears to be sitting on top of the
rubber actually it's merely stuck to the
bottom side he taps the coin with his
finger and you can see that the tapping
releases it from the rubber sheet and
sends it into the glass a simple trick
when you know the secret we know that
world-famous magicians have used their
tricks to impress supermodels and
beautiful Hollywood starlets the same
way some guys use flashy cars to impress
women who are out of their league
tonight The Masked Magician will use
both Jiri shows off a late-model Bentley
I say a Bentley because I'm not sure
that it's really his then again sexy
models usually stop short of examining
the registration
aside from the price tag there's nothing
extraordinary about this car now for
some girls a parade of assistance but
the women he wants to impress tonight
are WWE Divas Eve and Maria I can see
why
the magician is going to attempt to turn
these photos of the divas into the real
thing it's no secret that the real girls
would be much more impressive than their
pictures so it's time for magic as usual
there's a large sheet involved the
magician always seems to have an extra
king-size sheet lying around just in
case he's prepared for anything the
assistants cover up the Bentley the
magician steps forward and tells us to
keep an eye on the super luxury vehicle
the girls raised the sheet for a moment
and now they're lowering it back over
the car
something's different let's get a better
look
the Bentley has magically turned into a
Lamborghini full of fun complete with
WWE divas Eve and Maria now that's what
I call an impressive trick excellent
work
masked man why can't they all be this
spectacular holy moly so how does the
magician take an ordinary $200,000
bentley a couple of sexy photos put them
together and magically transform them
into a Lamborghini overflowing with WWE
divas the secret is simple and starts
with the fact that this trick can only
be performed for a television audience
when the illusion begins the magician
shows off the expensive Bentley for the
camera we see this side of the vehicle
but notice that the magician doesn't
invite the camera to walk around with
them
that's another secret the key to the
trick is that the Lamborghini is parked
and placed the whole time with its
gorgeous passengers already inside
before the trick began a stagehand
backed the Bentley into place notice how
much larger it is than the Lamborghini
the Lamborghini was chosen for its sex
appeal but also because it is much
smaller than the Bentley and more easily
concealed when the two are parked side
by side and the magician appears to be
walking around the car he casually
indicates that there's nothing on the
other side but from this angle we can
see that he's merely waving his arms and
acting like there's nothing more to see
behind the car with both cars in place
how did the magician make the Bentley
disappear the secret is hidden inside
the Bentley sitting behind the wheel is
a stagehand say I mom meanwhile the
stunning wrestling stars Eve and Maria
are waiting inside the Lamborghini so
the whole routine with their photo is
nothing more than a flashy way to
convince us that perhaps they'll be
appearing inside the Bentley
on cue the assistants cover the Bentley
with a large sheet at this moment
off-camera stagehands turn on a couple
of powerful fans to fill the sheet with
air this is when the magician carefully
stands to the left side of the frame
blocking our view of what's really
happening while he blocks the left edge
of the sheet the Bentley is simply
driven away as soon as it's gone the
camera and the magician moved towards
the car which creates an optical
illusion as the girls move the Sheep
further back to cover the Lamborghini
from this angle you can see how far they
have to walk the stagehand turns off the
fans and the girls lower the sheet down
onto the Lamborghini on his command they
remove the sheet and reveal the Divas in
their revealing outfits the
transformation is complete I know I've
been transformed into a diva fan
especially now that I know the secrets
next a trick you can do at home the
magician shows you how to make a can
float through the air and watch as a
string quartet makes beautiful music
together even after they disappear Plus
find out how a superstar walks through a
great wall of Steel when Magic's biggest
secrets finally revealed returns
for this next trick the magician will
use this ordinary soda can
he holds the cans gently between the
fingertips of both hands he blows on the
can and suddenly it begins to rise must
be highly carbonated soda he snatches it
before it goes too high
wait now it's trying to escape again if
he's not careful it will fly away for
good
looks like he's got it under control who
knew that soda could be lighter than air
how did the magician make the soda can
float the secret isn't too hard to put
your finger on from the back you can see
that the can is actually attached to his
right thumb by a flesh-colored plastic
shell the magician's call a thumb tip
when his thumb is inside this tip it's
virtually invisible at the end of the
thumb tip is a clear rubber suction cup
this cup sticks to the can and the
magician is ready to create the illusion
that the can is floating from this angle
we can see that all he's doing is
lifting the can with his thumb this
fingers outstretched all the magician
has to do is use a little bit of
pantomime to make it look like the can
is floating away from him who knew that
the secret to floating soda was all in
the thumb the magician shows off his
latest contraption an elevated stage
that is set for a musical and magical
performance
he invites a string quartet to enter and
take their positions on the stage they
climb the stairs and find their seats
just as the girls come in to help out
with the trick
black ties in a bow how formal I guess
it comes free with the tuxedos hit it
boys
now there's a level of sophistication we
haven't seen before
and won't for long
a curtain is going up and back down
where did they go we can still hear the
music but the quartet has vanished
you
the magician gestures for the curtain to
go back up
and when it comes down they're back
still playing and still classing up the
joint
ah so soothing
The Masked Magician has pulled off
another one okay so what really happened
when the magician allegedly made the
orchestra disappear they're in on the
secret so why shouldn't we let you in on
a to the quartet takes their seats and
begins to play as the curtain rises
that's when the secret takes place the
orchestra platform is built on a
rotating axle behind the stage is a gang
of burly stage hands as soon as the
curtain is up they use all their weight
to push down on a steel rod that is
welded to the back of the stage this
rotates the entire platform one-quarter
turn the members of the quartet are now
resting on their backs when the curtain
lowers you're looking at a duplicate set
of chairs here's the move again from
above watch your backs fellas the stairs
and the black cloth on the front of the
stage conceal the duplicate set of
chairs beneath the platform
here's the switch again from the front
without the drape hiding the magic those
stage hands are really earning their
paychecks tonight when the curtain is
raised a second time the stage hands get
another workout the men push the
musicians back in place just in time for
the curtain to lower and reveal them and
that's the secret of how to make a
quartet disappear next the magician
exposes the highly guarded secret to
walking through a world-famous great
wall plus a trick used by popular street
magicians won't fool you anymore find
out how it's done
when Magic's biggest secrets finally
revealed returns
here's a trick that Street magicians
used to convince their audience they
have freakish powers a bent bottle cap
and an empty bottle or all it takes
the magician taps the cap on the bottom
of the bottle to prove it's solid but
watch with the cap resting on his
fingers he continues to tap until it's
inside the bottle the metal cap has
penetrated the glass without breaking it
seems pretty freaky to me maybe he has
magic powers after all so does the
magician have special powers or is this
just another one of his tricks I think
you know the answer the first secret is
in the ring he is wearing it's magnetic
and powerful enough to attract the metal
cap the second secret is the bottle cap
or the fact that he has two bottle caps
when the illusion begins one cap is
inside the bottle held in place by the
magnetic ring the outer cap is tossed up
from his hand and caught by the ring
while the cap inside is released it
appears that it is passed through the
glass but we're really seeing the cap
that was inside all along
he won't fool us again with this trick
because we know the secret
the magician will now attempt to make
his body pass through a solid object in
this case this giant wall made of two
heavy-duty shipping containers sometimes
magicians walk through brick walls
landmarks or even the eighth great
wonder of the world but we're not in
China so in the warehouse these five
thousand pound steel containers will be
just as great the goal will be to walk
through the solid steel wall by magic
the magician climbs up onto a raised
platform to get a better look at the
containers they're not made of mortar
and stone like the wall in China but
steel is just as imposing the magician
sizes up his opponent and raps on the
side to prove that this is a solid wall
of Steel getting through is going to
pose quite a challenge he climbs back
down allowing his assistants to lower
some shades that are attached to the
metal frame on the platform
these white curtains will protect the
secret of his trick from prying eyes but
don't worry he's bound to show you the
secret sooner or later the shade in the
back has a hole that will allow a beam
of light to shine onto the shade in
front
although the magician doesn't want you
to see everything yet he will allow the
audience to see his shadow behind the
shade there is an identical setup on the
opposite side of the containers you'll
see that in just a minute it's been said
that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle creator of
Sherlock Holmes believed the great
Houdini could D materialize and pass
through solid objects let's see if the
magician can make believers out of us
now that the assistants are done with
their preparations the magician prepares
to take his place behind the shade this
is the last time we'll see him until he
emerges on the other side if he can
there we see a silhouette on the shade
he concentrates and then pushes his hand
into the side of the solid steel
containers
now his other hand
and his entire body
is it possible that he's mastered
Houdini's secret of dematerialization it
appears as though he's gone but the
doubters in our audience would probably
like a little more proof
so there you go no shades no magician
he's either vanished or traveling
through the steel particle by particle
the challenge now will be to reassemble
on the other side the camera is
following his path through the stacked
containers remember the containers were
examined and no trapdoors were found on
the other side his assistants are
placing a white fabric panel over a
section of the metal what's this
it appears as though the magician is
poking his hands through the fabric
desperately trying to escape from the
steel or is it Houdini back from the
grave this is getting creepy
better let him out of there
the panel is removed but there's no sign
of the magician even creepier
a shade is placed on the front of the
platform again to protect the secret of
his Reema Tyrael ization will he make it
through the wall of Steel
if he can't somebody better have an
industrial-sized can opener another
sheet will complete the cube as we can
see there are no shadows inside no sign
of the magician yet the assistants have
finished their work and it's time for
the magician to make his reappearance
come on masked man Houdini did it so can
you
there he is
slowly passing through the solid steel
I'm not sure about you but I always knew
he could do it
then again I've read the script
the shades removed
and there's the magician back from his
trip through a great wall of Steel
what's the shocking secret behind
walking through the Great Wall if you
were fooled by the trick you won't
believe your eyes when you find out how
it's done
when Magic's biggest secrets finally
revealed returns
we just saw the Masked Magician take on
these giant shipping containers he
passed right through the solid steel
container on one side travel through
this Great Wall and out the other side
but was his journey as dramatic as it
looked you know there has to be an
explanation here are the secrets when
the magician is showing us that the
containers are real he's not lying
they're genuine and solid steel
therefore he couldn't really pass
through them as a shadow suggests what
you don't know is that a double is
hidden beneath a trapdoor in the
platform as soon as the shade is in
place the double opens the trap and gets
ready for his secret roll
we see the magician climb the stairs
the beam of light is focused is shined
brightly on the shade but allows a
narrow place for the double to hide when
the magician steps into the fabric cube
he takes the doubles place and the
double steps forward the switch is
seamless and the shadow appears to be
the magician's meanwhile he's busy
slipping through another trapdoor and
down into the stairs he used to climb up
onto the platform
while we're looking at the shadow we
don't even notice his escape into the
staircase once he's inside
he's ready to be wheeled to his final
destination on the other side of the
wall whenever magical assistants are
wheeling stairs around you can be sure
someone's IDing inside on the front of
the shade we see the shadow of the
double appear to melt through the steel
wall from above you can see the doubles
choreography as he mimes melting into
the wall and then simply curls up into a
ball where he won't be hit by the light
but from the front it appears he's
passing right through the steel next he
climbs back into his secret hiding place
so that the cube is empty when the
shades are removed
the audience believes the magician is
melted into the steel wall but his
double is just hiding in the platform
meanwhile the staircase with the
magician hidden inside has arrived on
the other side of the wall while he's
making his way from the staircase into
the platform his assistants are
distracting us with their own sleight of
hand
remember the cloth panel they held
against the steel containers when you
look closely you can see that only one
of each assistants arms is visible
that's because their other arms are
hidden behind the panel with their hands
pushing on the fabric the effect of the
hands pushing on the fabric is so
startling the audience doesn't even stop
to think it could be the assistants
hands and not the magicians as soon as
they get the signal that the magician is
safely inside the platform they remove
the panel and attach the shades to the
cube when the shades are up the magician
climbs out of his hiding place and makes
his way to a dark corner carefully
avoiding the beam of light he holds up
his arms and walks forward creating the
illusion that he is Rima T realizing
melting through this side of the steel
containers this is when some serious
acting lessons would really pay off
wall-to-wall magic
and now you know the secrets next week
the mask magician returns to reveal more
of Magic's biggest secrets
