Now You See It - All Seasons

They played Word Search in this game show, with contestants having to announce the Row or "Line" and Column or "Position" some times, while other rounds the words are automatic. All words appear horizontally and can run in to each other. The stage is filled with Neon Lights and the Music is based on Chump Change. Center Stage are flights of stairs which all the people walk down. They sit at a multi level desk for the Returning Champion on top and the other players at the lower level. They were divided by blue and green. The Game Board is a giant Trilon. One side contains the Logo, also lit up in Neon. The other two sides contain Puzzles. The Solo Game is played Center Stage using a Telestrator at Jack Narz's desk which faces a giant Clock mounted in the Audience.

Approximately nine months of a large scale format. Five Contestants were on each game show, and were slowly Eliminated until one was remaining. The Rounds were timed, and a melodious Bell chimed when time ran out. As for the Solo Round, they have this very loud buzzer when they ran out of time. Five contestants walked down the stairs at the beginning of the game and sat at a multi level platform. The returning champion sat doing nothing for the first round. Two pairs of contestants seated at Blue and Green would have to work together in order to find the words. One contestant would face the board while the other would have to be turned around. When a contestant Chimed In, they gave only the Line. The other team mate would need to figure out rapidly the position and to also say the word. After that, they had to switch chairs so they could take turns. At the end of the round, the other team went home so that the winning team competes against each other. In Semi Finals, Instead of giving the lines and positions, the board scanned the next word automatically. The letters would light up one after the other. After Jack Narz read the clue, he would gently say "Letter". The contestants could Chime In any time to guess. The Finals round continued the Line & Position format with the remaining Challenger and the Returning Champion. Prize Packages would be offered at the end of each round. The Bonus Round is The Solo Game which is obviously timed. The contestant stands behind Jack Narz's desk to simply circle the words using a Telestrator and saying which word it is that they just circled. All correct answers provided in time resulted in winning a Cash Jackpot. They could return again for a while. However, this is C.B.S., which has one negative about it: There was a Winnings Limit, so they would need to go home eventually.

Beginning with the final week in 1974, they changed Now You See It drastically. Instead of five contestants, there are now two contestants: A Returning Champion and a Challenger. They Straddled The Episodes. This lasted an approximate additional six months. When it was canceled, Jack Narz still had his job at Concentration.

Television Program Source became the Distributor for this pilot episode. Since Jack Narz retired years earlier, Jack Clark from Cross - Wits became the new host. The set design is very small and resembles a 1960s game show. There were Caucasians pitted against Native African Blacks, who were given more difficult words to find. As a result, they were short one correct answer given in time to be able to win the grand prize.

This Pilot Episode would eventually be picked up by C.B.S. the next year with Chuck Henry as the game show host. It is not that much different from the 1989 version. Jack Narz retired years earlier and Jack Clark was dying the time they were in pre production of this pilot episode.

By the time that Now You See It finally made it to air again, these games were dumbed down, and the contestants were very annoying. Audiences preferred Trash Talk Shows and Court Shows which were gradually taking over Day Time Television. Game Play was sped up and simplified to where it was not required to state the Positions any more. Contestants goofed often, and it was canceled after 15 weeks. Chuck Henry is the host this time as Jack Narz retired ten years earlier, and Jack Clark was terminally ill despite making the 1985 Pilot. Henry did not enjoy being a Game Show Host, and requested this version of Now You See It be archived and not reran. All of these versions utilized Chump Change.
