What’s This TV Show About?

A stage magic series, 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. In season 13, the magicians include Ed Alonzo, Deadly Game, Lucy Darling, Joshua Jay, Lioz, Caleb Alexander, Alexandra Duvivier, Reza, Maxence Vire, Andi Gladwin, Jaana Felicitas, Adam Wylie, Joel Ward, Mat O’Neill, My Uyen, and Wayne Hoffman.
 

Season 13 Ratings

The 13th season of Masters of Illusion averaged a 0.04 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 287,000 viewers. Compared to season 12, that’s up by 4% in the demo and down by 19% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including 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 14? The show has been airing on the network for a decade and has done well in the ratings for a series that typically airs on weekend nights. I expect it to be renewed, but CW’s new management seems to be watching the numbers closely. If it doesn’t pull its weight this year, I could see Masters of Illusion being cancelled.
