Masters of Illusion 

Experience Magic like never before!

Get ready to experience impossible escapes, vanishes, and levitation, while witnessing the greatest sleight of hand live in front of your eyes. Masters of Illusion is the largest magic tour show of the world. Forget about watching appearances on TV; nothing beats magic shows in person. No camera tricks, no CGI graphics – experience the best illusions of your life.
If you love magic and want to see real magicians, illusionists perform in a way that can change how you think about magic tricks. Even if you don’t believe in magic come to the live show and see how these jaw-dropping, mind-bending magicians will take you away from reality into someplace different.

The Masters of Illusion show will make you question what you believed to be ordinary objects. The props in the shows are simple, but all the magicians make them look like something special.


Masters of Illusion, first performed in September 2011, is now in its seventh season, amazing people with its awesomeness. The tour has done 225 shows in 147 venues. The duration of each magic show is around 2 hours and 15 minutes, including intermission. Each show consists of various magicians, and every time the live show delivers beyond expectations.

The castwhich currently includes Greg Gleason, Farrell Dillon, and Tommy Wind – changes some of its members from year to year. Regardless of the cast, the show leaves people spell-bound, returning the following year to see the show again.

Greg Gleason - Masters of Illusion

Greg Gleason has been performing in the show since 2014. Born and raised in Helena, Montana, Greg is famous for his sleight-of-the-hand tricks. His act, ‘The Wizard’s Secret’ has been performed at more than 9,000 shows. Greg has been awarded “Magician of the year” in World Magic Awards. Greg’s signature illusion is “The Helicopter Illusion” – producing a full-size helicopter on stage. It’s the perfect blend of fun, jaw-dropping illusions and sleight-of-the-hand tricks, which will leave you baffled with amazement.

Farrell Dillon - Masters of Illusion

Farrell Dillon is a Los Angeles-based magician. Farrell blends comedy with mind-bending magic. He is celebrated for his stand-up comedy in between his magic performances. He claims to ‘keep the kids off drugs’ from his flavor of comedy in his shows. Farrell has been nominated for Stage Magician of the year by Magic Castle. His signature trick is a floating-chair trick, where he uses magic to float a chair in the air right in front of you. Farrell’s style makes him a hit for people of every age. The blend of comedy makes his magic worth watching. 

Tommy Wind - Masters of Illusion

Tommy Wind is a magician from Staten Island, New York. Tommy combines illusions with music, with each show consisting of daring tricks. He is well-known for his dangerous acts. Every trick combines music with magic, sending shivers down viewers’ spines. Tommy plays the musical instruments himself – the drum and piano – incorporating them into his mind-boggling magic tricks. In the Magic World Awards, Tommy has won “Best Teen Magician of the year” award. The best thing about Tommy is his versatility – his skills range from close-up magic to mentalism. From the grand escape to seamless illusions, Tommy will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Looking for a place in Orlando that offers a variety of shows? From Magic, Stand-up Comedy Shows, Dinner Shows and Mystery Dinner Shows?

The mystery is solved!

Sleuths Mystery Dinner Shows located in Orlando, FL is the place!

One of my passions in my free time is to go see shows, especially if they are shows about magic or comedy. One of my friends at the gym recommended this place and I tried it. Sleuths Mystery Dinner Shows offers a fun mix of comedy, magic, and delicious food and drinks that makes it an all-inclusive experience. And, the location hosts several different shows, including Nick’s Parlor Tricks, Mama’s Comedy Show, and more.

Sleuths Mystery Dinners are more than just your average dinner and a show – experience the conundrums of the puzzling storyline where you become a guest in an outrageous comedy mystery, all while enjoying a dinner with family and friends. This show is nearly 2.5 hours of fun and wild performances, and you’ll feel like you’re a character in the storyline who is able to discover the mystery ending and solve the crime along with the characters!
The mystery dinner ticket prices are all inclusive, meaning your dinner and unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks are all included in the price of the show. 
They have a variety of shows, some for the whole family and others just for the adults. For those family friendly shows kids and parents can enjoy a delicious meal and a fun show. And don't forget it! If you are planning on bringing the whole family, ask about the specials on discounted pricing for kids!

The Dinner show place has different shows on the same day and different days. A few of the most well-known shows are: The Magic of Nik’s Parlor, Mama’s Comedy Show, Stand-up Comedy and the Great Mystery Show, which varies time to time depending on the theme.


Nick’s Parlor Tricks - Magic Show

Happy to see more and more great magicians performing in the Orlando area! Nick’s Parlor Tricks is a magic show for all the ages.

Now you see me - the movie

Now you see me – the magical movie about magicians, escapists and hypnotists.

As I was preparing to watch the movie “Now you see me - the movie,” I was expecting a so-so movie about magicians doing magic with the help of a lot of Hollywood special effects. But I was pleasantly surprised. The movie offered much more.
It drew me in from the beginning with its story. There were also a lot of realistic touches that reflect situations that magicians and hypnotists live today – including dealing with people who set out to embarrass magicians or ruin careers by making a mission of revealing their secrets and techniques.

What surprised me about this movie - Now you see me – without giving too much away – was the message at its heart: an attempt by a mysterious magician whose identity no one knows to resurrect respect for magic, all the while there being a connection to (and attempt to avenge) a late magician once disgraced. But to do all that he or she needs to convince a collection of performers (magician, escapist, street magician and hypnotist) that the magic is real, and the audience needs to believe in this once again. In the process, there’s a bit of Robin Hood social justice in redistributing wealth from some of the crooked bad guys to regular people in the audience.

Now You See Me - the movie:

The best part of all – more than any of the individual magic tricks and special-effects stunts throughout – was the overall sleight-of-hand played on you, the viewer, something you discover at the end of the movie.

But don’t watch too hard for clues, because, as the movie warns, “the closer you think you are, the less you'll actually see.”
