Grand Illusion began as a small-scale illusion competition entirely concieved and produced by LOOKMAKERS. The first event was a fiasco experienced by few in an empty ballroom in Cleveland, OH where one of the contestants urinated on the judge's table. Over the course of four months, word spread of the disaster and wild characters with an interest in illusionism participated in the following events. Spectators with a curiosity for the unknown came out of the woodwork monthly to see who would perform the Grand Illusion. The concluding showdown of finalists did not disappoint- the event was marked with gasps, ooh's and aah's- among other sounds.

Grand Illusion is currently on its way to becoming a much larger production- its future remains a secret.
