Masters of Illusion returns to The CW for its eleventh season premiere this Friday, bringing with it a fresh batch of mind-boggling magic acts. “Logically Illogical, AI Mind Reader, and Phone-y Magic” looks to feature a diverse lineup of illusionists, including returning favorites and new faces, all ready to dazzle viewers with their sleight of hand and grand illusions.

From Ed Alonzo and Eric Jones’s classic magic to the technologically infused illusions of the “AI Mind Reader,” the episode attempts to offer something for every magic enthusiast. The lineup also includes performances by Jeki Yoo & Ellie, Eric Eaton, Alexandra, Trigg Watson, Joshua Jay, and Artem Shchukin. As always, Masters of Illusion emphasizes the “live” aspect of its performances, assuring viewers that no camera tricks or computer-generated enhancements are used to create the illusions.
