What Season 1 of Deception
Cameron Black is a Las Vegas illusionist who loses everything after a scandal. To rebuild his career, he takes an unusual job: he becomes the first "consulting illusionist" and works with the FBI on crimes that don't fit any case file. His partner is Agent Kay Daniels, a demanding investigator who resists a magician's methods and must learn to trust him. Cameron also has Dina Clark, a producer and makeup artist, and Jordan Kwon, a street magician. Meanwhile, he tries to help his brother, and the cases lead the leads into heists, kidnappings and a mysterious rival who tests everyone.
