During the October 20, 2026, broadcast of "Ten Million Wonders Show," magician Choi Hyun-woo performed high-difficulty vanishing illusions to overcome regrets from his previous voting results.

Magician Choi Hyun-woo captured the attention of the audience with high-difficulty magic prepared to overcome the regrets of his previous stage. During the October 20, 2026, broadcast of the TV CHOSUN segment "Ten Million Wonders Show," Choi Hyun-woo sought to restore his honor by delivering a more intense performance than before.

"I didn't do this last time" – Choi Hyun-woo's winning move

Before taking the stage, Choi Hyun-woo expressed his regrets regarding his previous activities and revealed his determination for this performance. Mentioning past voting results, he suggested that this stage held more meaning than a simple performance, remarking that if he had shown a performance like this last time, he would have placed at least third. He even displayed a joking sense of competitiveness toward fellow performer Ahn Sung-hoon, saying it felt like "getting revenge on an ex-girlfriend." He expressed confidence, noting that he had been preparing for this stage since the morning.

As the magic began in earnest, Choi Hyun-woo challenged himself with dangerous illusions involving both sharp and hot objects. The stage featured high-difficulty techniques utilizing optical illusions where people disappeared or spaces appeared empty. In particular, when a person vanished in an instant and then reappeared, the cast and audience members on site reacted with shock. Choi Hyun-woo performed a sequence where a person disappeared during the magic, expressing confidence in the quality of the stage by stating, "I should have done this last time."

A twist on stage with Ahn Sung-hoon

Ahn Sung-hoon appeared on this stage, adding to the tension. As the illusions involving disappearing figures continued during Choi Hyun-woo's performance, the cast, including Ahn Sung-hoon, could not hide their bewilderment at the situation unfolding before their eyes. The immersion of the stage was so high that reactions at the scene suggested that "if the results had been based on a performance like this, the outcome would have been different." The intense direction of the magic drew a heated response, and Choi Hyun-woo mentioned that he prepared with the two individuals to bring about this change.

Magic for a child: The transformation of a teddy bear

Following the intense magic, a warm event was held for a young child in the audience. Choi Hyun-woo prepared a trick where he had the child select a number and then guessed the gift corresponding to that number. While the gift for the number 1 selected by the child was a teddy bear, Choi Hyun-woo once again surprised the scene by performing magic where a gift much larger than the paper bag containing the doll appeared.

The child who received the gift expressed satisfaction with the teddy bear and drew laughter from the scene by mentioning a "Bentley electric car" as the gift they wanted next. Choi Hyun-woo concluded the stage with a witty response to the child's innocent answer.
