The most elaborate act is performed by Andrew Basso, kown as the Escapologist, who in the tradition of Houdini, is immersed in what appears to be a tank of water, handcuffed and shackled, hanging upside down, with only a tiny metal piece that he uses to pick apart the cuffs and locks while a digital display clocks the minutes that he is supposed to hold his breath before arduously freeing himself and emerging from the tank.

Jeff Hobson acts as a master of ceremonies who besides engaging in some sleight-of-hand provides plenty of humor and can have fun by choosing people from the audience and using them as props for some magic horseplay. There are band members at work on both sides of the stage, and a large very helpful screen is positioned above on which what goes on is projected, thereby giving audience members in the huge theater close-ups. Otherwise, one would feel left out instead of being able to watch carefully to see if it is possible to figure out how the trickery is accomplished.

Other participants include Aaron Crow, billed as The Warrior; Yu Ho-Jin, The Manuplator; Kevin James, The Inventor; Dan Sperry, The Anti-Conjuror and Adam Trent, The Futurist. There is also a battery of assistants to help the performers pull off their assorted coups.
