What’s This TV Show About?

A stage magic series airing on The CW television network, the Masters of Illusion TV show debuted in 2000 and ran for three seasons between Pax TV and MyNetworkTV. In 2014, The CW revived it with Dean Cain as host. The mystifying series features escape artists, cutting-edge illusionists, and other talented performers. In front of a studio audience, these modern magicians demonstrate their perplexing and astonishing skills with performances that include interactive magic tricks, astounding escapes, sleight-of-hand, large-scale illusions and boisterous comedy routines.
 

Season 12 Ratings

The 12th season of Masters of Illusion averages a 0.04 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 353,000 viewers. Compared to season 11, that’s down by 2% in the demo and up by 12% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.

Telly’s Take

Will The CW cancel or renew Masters of Illusion for season 13? The network is under new management that is focusing on utilizing inexpensive unscripted shows and acquired scripted series. The show seems to fit those requirements so I think there’s a very good chance that Masters of Illusion will be renewed. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
