Captain Disillusion provides examples of the following tropes:
- Catch Phrase: "Love with your heart, but use your brain for everything else."
- Crowning Music of Awesome: The music that plays at the end of each episode.
- Defying Gravity: Flying off set at the end of almost every episode.
- Science Show: In a sense.
- Special Effects Failure: Not so much in his own show, unless it's intentional.
- Special Guest: James Randi, who helped the Captain debunk an illusion that relies on old-fashioned physical effects instead of digital editing.
