00:06 >> Okay. Teresa, I didn't have plans
00:09 on starting the interview like this.
00:11 Can you help me up a little bit?
00:13 Can you help me, please?
00:16 >> It's okay, Brad.
00:17 It's just an illusion.
00:18 We can stand up.
00:19 We can stand up.
00:20 >> Stand up?
00:21 >> Yeah.
00:21 >> Oh, my gosh.
00:23 That is awesome.
00:25 That's what this is all about, the Museum of Illusions.
00:28 >> Yeah.
00:28 >> It's an awesome place.
00:30 So tell me a little about this area.
00:31 >> So this is our building, Illusions.
00:33 Guests can get very creative with their poses in this one.
00:37 And they can act as if they're either standing
00:40 or falling off this balcony from two stories up.
00:43 But really, they're just laying on the floor.
00:45 >> And that's what this whole museum is
00:47 about is tricking people's minds, right?
00:49 >> Yes. You learn about how these illusions really trick
00:53 your vision and perception of reality.
00:55 >> I like it.
00:55 All right.
00:56 Let's go check out some more.
00:56 >> Okay.
00:58 [ Music ]
01:02 >> Okay, Theresa, what's this area?
01:04 >> This is our puzzle bar where we showcase some
01:06 of our super fun puzzles that we have available in our Smart Shop.
01:10 Here we have our 3D tic-tac-toe.
01:13 >> Okay. And it's kind of cool.
01:15 And this one's also an illusion when you play this game, right?
01:18 >> Yeah. So it kind of can be a bit confusing, not looking
01:22 like an original tic-tac-toe game,
01:24 but it does work pretty much the same way.
01:26 >> I wasn't even paying attention.
01:27 >> Oh, there it is.
01:28 >> Because I was so in awe of it.
01:29 And there you go.
01:29 You won it.
01:30 >> I did.
01:30 >> So this is awesome.
01:31 And that's what's really cool.
01:32 Also, you guys do some fun things for adults, don't you?
01:35 >> We do.
01:36 So we actually have an exciting adults-only wine event coming up.
01:40 It's one of our hollow wine nights where we partnered
01:43 with the local wine bar, The Wine Collective, to put on a festive
01:47 and really new fun experience in the museum for adults.
01:52 So those tickets will include two glasses of wine courtesy
01:57 of The Wine Collective.
01:57 We'll have a DJ.
01:58 We'll have some Halloween treats and also full access
02:01 to our museum and all the amazing,
02:03 fun, spooky decor we have.
02:04 >> I love it.
02:05 I think there's one more place I want to be scared at, right?
02:07 >> Yes.
02:07 >> Let's go for it.
02:08 [ Music ]
02:13 >> Theresa, this is an illusion, right?
02:16 >> Yes. So this is our head-on-a-plate exhibit.
02:19 Nothing screams Halloween more than this installation.
02:22 It makes it look like your head is detached and being served
02:25 on a dinner plate, but in reality,
02:27 it's just an illusion, of course.
02:29 >> All right.
02:30 Good. I don't want anybody
02:30 to think they actually could put my head on the plate.
02:32 No, I'm just kidding.
02:33 And so this is really cool.
02:34 So it's all decked out for Halloween.
02:36 You're saying come out and enjoy, right?
02:37 >> Oh, yeah.
02:38 So as you can see, we're all dressed up for Halloween.
02:40 Halloween is our favorite holiday at Museum of Illusions.
02:43 It just makes people think of tricks and magic and mystery,
02:46 which is exactly what people think
02:48 of when they think of a museum of illusions.
02:50 So we're all dressed up, ready to go.
02:52 So please come enjoy all of our fun, spooky exhibits.
02:55 >> All right.
02:56 There you go.
02:56 Okay. I'm going to move away from this
02:58 so people don't think that my head's on the plate.
