TV show description:
From creator Chris Fedak, the Deception TV show centers on illusionist Cameron Black (Cutmore-Scott). With big shows in Vegas and New York, this magician is rocketing to the top, when scandal derails his show and his drive.
Unbeknownst to the world, Cameron has a twin brother, Jonathan (Cutmore-Scott), who is integral to both his magic and his life. Then one night, Jonathan is framed for murder. Soon, their secret is revealed, and Jonathan is convicted. Cameron is certain another illusionist is behind the crime.
With his career on hold and his mind overwhelmed by guilt and the desire to exonerate his brother, Cameron won’t even work with his team to develop a new act. One day though, while watching the news, he realizes that the FBI has been deceived by an illusionist, and whoever it was stole one of his signature moves. Now, Cameron is using his tradecraft to help the Feds apprehend some of the most elusive criminals in the world and hopes to prove his brother is an innocent man.

The Deception team goes up against the Mystery Woman in a battle of dueling deceptions. But just when Cameron thinks he finally has her, she unleashes her most game-changing twist yet.

What do you think? Do you like the Deception TV series? Should this TV show have been cancelled or renewed for a second season on ABC?
This is like watching Castle all over again except with less charasmatic people; poorer writing and even more outrageous plot lines.
Love Deception!
I really like this show…very interesting and quite original. Good show for the kids too!!
Entertaining! Please do not cancel.
I really like the show and the plot and was hoping to see more. Hope that it will continue soon.
Great show. Please don’t cancel. Good cast. Nice twist. Good story lines. Like the illusion concept. Like Castle, but illusions, not books. Give it a chance
A great show , fresh and entertaining…keep it going !tim
An interesting premise that I hope will be further explored. Magic can cover a very wide area.
Could not agree more – loved it and thought the original opening credits were amazing! Looking forward to watching each week.
Love the premier of Deception. Was not expecting the twist. Thought the show was very original. Hope it can stay at the level of the first showing. Already on my DVR list .
It will get old real fast.
I thought Deception was very exciting and unusual. Loved it!!!
Back in the 70s, there was a show called The Magician starring Bill Bixby; stayed around for 2 seasons. As a magic buff, I’ve always thought a show like this would be good. Hope it stays around for at least 3/4 seasons.
Loved the show, special effects were great!! Will be making this a regular on my line up! Congrats on a HIT : )
I am enjoying the show very much!! Bring more on!!!
