Master of Illusion, known in Europe as Magic Made Fun: Perform Tricks That Will Amaze Your Friends! and in Japan as Magic Encyclopedia (マジック大全, Majikku Taizen), is a magician video game for the Nintendo DS. It was developed and published by Nintendo, released in Japan on November 16, 2006, November 26, 2007 in North America and March 14, 2008 in Europe. Several of its magic tricks were made available over the Nintendo DSi's DSiWare download service.
The packaging of the game includes a full deck of Nintendo playing cards so the player can practice the card illusions they had learned while playing the game outside of the portable system.
Gameplay
Master of Illusion puts the player in the role of an illusionist who must learn and perfect his tricks. The game has three basic modes: Solo Magic, Magic Show and Magic Training. The first one is a compilation of varied minigames, the other two being the "meat of the game", or the important part, according to reviewers. In both, the objective is to perform tricks and earn points, which grant the player more tricks and illusions. The system has a limit for the points a player can earn in a full day, though this can be bypassed by changing the date on the Nintendo DS system.
A Master of Illusion is a skilled magician.
