Vladimir Semenov and Olga Sem, from Calgary, Alberta, asked for $1,300,000 for 30% of Vizard, a live theatrical mask and costume performance experience featuring elaborate disguised performers acting out choreography. The show had only been performed twice at the time of the pitch, and the founders planned to bring it to the Silver Stone Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

All five Dragons went out. Lane Merrifield noted grammatical errors in the show's voice-over recording. Vincenzo Guzzo called the venture a labour of love. No deal was made.
