Master of Illusion puts an entire magic show in the palm of your hand. Master of Illusion contains step-by-step tutorials on more than 20 different tricks, allowing budding magicians to master the nuances of performance long before show time. Tricks use all facets of Nintendo DS – magicians will draw faces that speak the name of the audience's card, or audibly instruct a dog to fetch a selected item. There are also several solitaire games for downtime between performances.

A magic store clerk named Barbara walks users through various modes as users learn and perform tricks. How to progress through the game: Only a small percentage of the tricks are open at the beginning of the game. As users practice and master tricks, more and more will open. Characters: Barbara and a host of guest magicians who teach/perform tricks. Special powers/weapons/moves/features: The backs of the enclosed cards can be read by a magician in the know, and many tricks rely on mastery of the technique. Not only that, but several tricks require knowing audio commands to guide the DS.
