The ‘Masters of Illusion’ TV show is currently airing its 11th season.

The buzz around the Masters of Illusion summer residency and national tour comes as The CW airs the 11th season of the Masters of Illusion television show on Saturday nights.

The first season of Masters of Illusion debuted way back in 2000 on Pax TV (now Ion Television). A second season aired on MyNetworkTV in 2009, and a third season aired in syndication in 2012, before The CW revived the show in 2013.

Dean Cain of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman hosts the CW show. “I’m always a skeptic,” he admitted to Parade in 2014. “But the thing is, these illusions unfold right in your face, right in front of you, and it just blows you away. Even though it’s all an illusion. So I can’t argue with what I’ve seen.”

Masters of Illusions airs Saturdays at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.
