Grissom, Captain Jim Brass, Catherine Willows, and Warrick Brown examine the case of magician Amazing Zephyr, whose Chamber of Doom illusion is supposed to make a volunteer from the audience disappear from stage and magically reappear. Unfortunately the last volunteer didn't come back and he claims he doesn't know where she went, and refuses to reveal how the trick works. The stagehand Punky Dillinger does know, whose fingerprints are on too many objects. Rival illusionist Toby Arcane and the identity of the victim Zoe prove interesting. Meanwhile Nick Stokes and Sara Sidle find the apparent O.D. of rock-band member Gus Kenyon must be staged by his murderer, which they look for in the band.
