TV TOP PICKS

7 p.m. on CW Masters of Illusion They’ve got magic to do, just for you, in a new episode called “All About the Benjamins and One Switcheroo,” as host Dean Cain welcomes a diverse slate of illusionists and sleightof-hand masters to perform in front of a live studio audience.

It was the Cougars who last year upset the fifth-ranked Trojans as they got off to a 6-0 start and eventually finished 9-4. USC, meanwhile, is beginning another chapter with true freshman quarterback JT Daniels, a five-star recruit, taking over as the signal caller in the shadow of Sam Darnold’s departure to the NFL. 9 p.m. on PBS Art in the Twenty-First Century Season 9 of this enthralling visual arts series visits three new cities with a vibrant art scene to explore the relationship between local artists and place — specifically, the one in which they live and work. In the first of tonight’s new back-to-back hours, the series travels to Johannesburg, South Africa, the artistic capital of the continent’s sub-Saharan region. The four featured artists come from different places, yet they all want to use their art to pursue their visions for a beautiful future. 12:30 a.m. on HBO Animals Temporarily on the outs with each other, rat buddies Mike and Phil are forced to reunite after they receive a strange missive summoning them to “The Democratic Republic of Kitty City,” which is a feline section of town that’s walled off from the outside world. If nothing else, the journey there gives the erstwhile buddies a chance to rehash their personal issues.
