Effect

 * When another player tries to use one of the following items or skills on you standardly, with Power Gloves, or with Auto Hammer, if you are alive there is a 50% chance that you won't be affected by it and will instead move 1 space forward:
 * (Holy) Hammer, Hammerhead Shark, Sword, Swordfish, Demon Sword, non-Amethyst Lightsaber, Torch, Ethereal Dagger, Chloroform, Pacman, THIS IS SPARTA!.
 * Hallucination can also activate if a player launches themself on the Catapult with the Pacman skill and would eat you.

Standard Use

 * Choose an amount of spaces to move backward from 10-30. Also, this skill transforms into Grand Appearance (not on cooldown) locked onto the space you were on right before Grand Disappearance was used.

Event Use

 * Use against The Bear!; move 20 spaces backward. This skill transforms into Grand Appearance (not on cooldown) locked onto the space you were on right before Grand Disappearance was used.

Standard Use

 * Teleport to the locked on space, and this effect transforms into Grand Disappearance on cooldown.

Passive Effect

 * During the Effects Phase, you teleport to the locked on space, and this effect transforms into Grand Disappearance on cooldown. (This apparently happens before cooldowns tick down in the Effects Phase since its cooldown will be 6. Note that this also occurs before the Frozen effect wears off in the Effects Phase.)

Event Use

 * Use against The Bear!; teleport to the locked on space, and this effect transforms into Grand Disappearance on cooldown.

Standard Use

 * Choose an item out of the following to be the disguise for a Deadly Item: Hammer, Potion, Gun, Teleporter, Space Capacitator, Hypno Glasses, Liquid Luck, Lasso, Time Travel Condom, Explosive Sheep, ACME Pogo-Stick, Chicken, Signal Jammer, Banana, and Magic Star. Then, target any player; give them the Deadly Item.

Event Use

 * None

Standard Use

 * Choose an item to place inside the Magic Hat; this option doesn't put this skill on cooldown, also this option is unavailable if you have 3 items inside the Hat already.
 * Only 1 item from each item slot can exist in the Magic Hat simultaneously. Attempting to place an extra inside fails and puts the Hat on cooldown.


 * Choose an item to take out of the Hat which you previously placed inside.

Event Use

 * None

Strengths

 * Illusionist can be a very aggressive class once in the lead.
 * Melee weapons have a harder time striking down an Illusionist.
 * Magic Hat can keep useful items safe until you need to use them.

Weaknesses

 * Illusionist doesn't really have any forward movement in their skill set.
 * Other players can spot the Deadly Illusions and avoid using them, or deliberately use them while buffed with Blessing of Vengeance.

Strategies

 * Magic Hat can keep an item safe, allowing for later use. Notable items include the Chicken, parts of the English Breakfast, or duplicates of any particularly useful consumable item like Magic Star.
 * Grand Disappearance can be used to protect against being moved backwards. It can also be used to attack somebody behind you by jumping to their space and using items from there.
 * Deadly Illusions will kill anytime they are clickable. This includes using them in encounters like Pawn Shop or Archaeology Dig, so try slipping something you think a player will need right when they're about to need it.  Timing is key.

Dual-Class Synergies
Alchemist: Since Alchemist often uses Holy Hand Granade and Sex Bomb, being able to store them in magic hat in order to have duplicates and/or avoid Detonation is quite useful for it, and can give it a lot more space gain in a small time frame.
