Prepare to enter a world of magic

0:00:020:00:04

where nothing is quite what it seems.

0:00:040:00:07

No! I say no.

0:00:070:00:09

I say no!

0:00:090:00:10

We've got a dancer standing tall...

0:00:100:00:13

You're going to hurt yourself.

0:00:130:00:14

..a bunny that falls...

0:00:140:00:16

and a father getting a dent in his...

0:00:160:00:18

pride.

0:00:180:00:20

Welcome to Now You See It.

0:00:200:00:22

First, Harry Potter and the boring old stick.

0:00:330:00:35

Avada Kedavra!

0:00:350:00:38

OK...

0:00:380:00:40

Meanwhile, in a toy shop far, far away...

0:00:400:00:43

Let's see you, buddy.

0:00:430:00:44

I don't care if you are a Jedi Knight -

0:00:470:00:49

all breakages must be paid for.

0:00:490:00:51

And in a galaxy far, far closer to home,

0:00:510:00:54

give the pinata a thwack and make sweets magically appear.

0:00:540:00:57

All right, go ahead.

0:00:570:00:58

Oh!

0:01:000:01:02

We would, of course, advise dads keep well away from pinatas.

0:01:020:01:05

Here's GloZell, with magician Chris Ballinger.

0:01:070:01:09

So, if you could do me a favour and just touch any one of the cards.

0:01:110:01:15

This one right here. Can you say it out loud for the camera?

0:01:150:01:18

This one right here.

0:01:180:01:19

-Is...

-Is a jack of hearts.

0:01:190:01:20

-Jack of hearts. We'll leave it right where it is.

-You know my card.

0:01:200:01:23

-OK, so you're seeing it live.

-Yes.

-They're seeing it on a screen.

0:01:230:01:25

Wouldn't it be a little more fair if you saw it through a screen?

0:01:250:01:30

-Wouldn't that be more fair?

-I don't wear glasses.

0:01:300:01:32

But I've got a screen here,

0:01:320:01:33

a little piece of plastic and you can see the cards through it,

0:01:330:01:36

-right?

-Can they see it?

0:01:360:01:37

They'll be able to see it.

0:01:370:01:39

-We're just going to put the little screen right here.

-OK.

0:01:390:01:42

Just like this, so you can see the cards through the screen.

0:01:420:01:45

-Yeah.

-OK, watch.

0:01:450:01:48

-Oh, my gosh, what's going to happen?

-Watch...

0:01:480:01:49

No, it's going to explode.

0:01:490:01:51

Oh, no!

0:01:520:01:53

Imagine her reaction if it HAD exploded

0:01:570:01:59

rather than just changed to the colour green!

0:01:590:02:01

Although something tells me that green might be her favourite colour.

0:02:030:02:06

You're seeing it through the screen,

0:02:060:02:08

it'd be better if you didn't see it through the screen at all.

0:02:080:02:11

What in the world?

0:02:110:02:12

No...

0:02:120:02:13

-No! I say no!

-Every single card.

0:02:130:02:16

-I say no!

-Oh wait, I missed one.

0:02:160:02:17

I think she's saying no.

0:02:170:02:19

No, no, it's OK. I think this might be...

0:02:190:02:21

-What was your card?

-It was the jack of hearts.

0:02:210:02:23

-No! Don't turn it over. No!

-That's the jack of hearts.

0:02:230:02:26

No, I say!

0:02:260:02:27

All the other cards are green, except for the jack of hearts.

0:02:270:02:31

It's...

0:02:320:02:33

Giant pencil or tiny hands?

0:02:370:02:39

Hard to tell.

0:02:390:02:42

-Did you get it?

-Not quite, try it again.

0:02:450:02:47

Hold up one sec.

0:02:500:02:51

All right.

0:02:530:02:56

-Ow!

-LAUGHTER

0:02:560:02:57

Quick, draw an ambulance!

0:02:570:02:59

Time now for our beginner's guide to magic.

0:03:030:03:06

A great magic trick requires speed and dexterity.

0:03:060:03:10

Or, at the very least, the ability to unfold a sheet.

0:03:100:03:13

It's important to build up a sense of anticipation.

0:03:160:03:19

But try and get round to doing the trick at some point.

0:03:210:03:24

Seamless. The sheet, not the performance.

0:03:280:03:31

Now, in my best, not very good, American accent, it's time to say...

0:03:310:03:34

Magician Mat Ricardo spent years perfecting this skill,

0:03:380:03:41

only to discover there's absolutely no call for it whatsoever.

0:03:410:03:44

Master the fiendishly difficult art of yo-yo,

0:03:470:03:50

and you could end up on stage.

0:03:500:03:52

Bit of an up and down sort of career, though,

0:03:520:03:54

and not always in the way you'd think.

0:03:540:03:56

But it is important to keep practising

0:04:010:04:02

if you want to keep your hand in...

0:04:020:04:04

..and your nose out.

0:04:070:04:08

Here's men in coats.

0:04:110:04:13

I wondered what Noel and Liam were doing these days.

0:04:130:04:15

That's an Oasis reference, kids.

0:04:150:04:17

Oh, hang on - Liam's got something in his eye.

0:04:180:04:20

They've got more tricks than you could shake

0:04:220:04:24

a carefully concealed massive stick at.

0:04:240:04:26

APPLAUSE

0:04:330:04:35

Moving on now to some levitation.

0:04:460:04:49

Is there nothing these guys can't do?

0:04:490:04:51

Ah, yes...

0:04:590:05:00

..levitation.

0:05:010:05:02

Shall we take a look at some... GROWLS

0:05:070:05:09

We've all heard of flying carpets,

0:05:120:05:14

but here's a cat test-driving the world's first flying doormat.

0:05:140:05:17

Lovely outfit, by the way.

0:05:200:05:21

Here's a hedgehog that really wants to be a magician's rabbit.

0:05:270:05:30

One day, if he keeps practising,

0:05:340:05:36

he'll get the hang of popping out of a hat.

0:05:360:05:38

One day.

0:05:380:05:39

But not today.

0:05:420:05:43

Meanwhile, this rabbit's thinking,

0:05:430:05:45

"That hedgehog's pinched my hat again." So he does his

0:05:450:05:48

rabbit-vanishing-off-bed trick instead.

0:05:480:05:50

You're going to hurt yourself. OK.

0:05:500:05:53

Now, let's take a peek behind closed trapdoors, as we ask...

0:05:580:06:02

No, that's not Michael Ball performing Phantom of the Opera

0:06:050:06:07

in a shopping centre.

0:06:070:06:09

Although that's not to say he doesn't do that.

0:06:090:06:11

It's from Japanese channel NHK,

0:06:120:06:15

and this masked magician...

0:06:150:06:17

Oh, he's a little bit creepy, isn't he?

0:06:170:06:19

This masked magician is about to produce something spectacular

0:06:190:06:23

from behind his dining room curtain.

0:06:230:06:25

A ballerina's appeared out of thin air.

0:06:280:06:30

Or is it a thin ballerina appearing out of air?

0:06:300:06:32

Anyway, the question is - how did they do that?

0:06:320:06:35

Well, brilliantly, we can see exactly how that was done.

0:06:350:06:38

First, she cleverly concealed herself behind the cameraman,

0:06:390:06:41

making them look like they're forming the world's shortest

0:06:410:06:44

conga line.

0:06:440:06:45

Then, as the masked man shoves his face into the camera and brandishes

0:06:450:06:48

a bit of curtain, she stands directly behind him.

0:06:480:06:50

At the right moment, she runs forward,

0:06:500:06:52

skids delicately between his legs and voila - instant lady.

0:06:520:06:56

And now to magical Hertfordshire, with well-dressed wizard DMC,

0:06:570:07:00

for our big finish.

0:07:000:07:02

Joining DMC, it's Belinda Challis, a top motorsport professional.

0:07:040:07:08

You'll see at the far end of the runway we have two paper screens,

0:07:080:07:12

one with the cross and one with the circle.

0:07:120:07:15

In a moment, I'm going to have you get inside your car,

0:07:150:07:18

I'm going to have you look at both symbols,

0:07:180:07:20

and I'm going to have you think of one of the symbols,

0:07:200:07:23

just in your head, OK?

0:07:230:07:25

When you've done that, I'm going to ask you to drive...

0:07:250:07:28

..through that screen.

0:07:300:07:31

There is one thing you need to know.

0:07:310:07:34

You won't know which one,

0:07:340:07:37

but I'm going to go and stand behind...

0:07:370:07:40

-..one of the two screens.

-Right.

0:07:410:07:43

Oh, good - no pressure then, Belinda.

0:07:430:07:45

-I'm going to go and get ready.

-Good luck.

0:07:450:07:47

Yeah, good luck. Hope I don't run you over!

0:07:480:07:51

If we could please put the screen into position.

0:07:510:07:53

I've said it before and I'll say it again,

0:07:530:07:54

don't try anything like this

0:07:540:07:56

unless you are international illusionist DMC.

0:07:560:07:59

Actually, I've never said that before, but it's true.

0:07:590:08:03

And Belinda you have no idea which of the two screens

0:08:030:08:06

I'm standing behind, correct?

0:08:060:08:07

Nope, I haven't got a clue.

0:08:070:08:09

No more contact.

0:08:090:08:10

Three, two, one.

0:08:140:08:18

Oh, and Belinda, if you want to change your mind,

0:08:180:08:20

once you've set off, you can.

0:08:200:08:22

Go.

0:08:280:08:29

I'm sorry, I can't resist saying it.

0:08:380:08:39

When else am I going to get the chance?

0:08:390:08:41

Run, DMC!

0:08:410:08:42

Phew!

0:08:440:08:45

Nice that DMC checks his suit's unblemished.

0:08:470:08:50

The first thing we'd all do.

0:08:500:08:51

He should check round the back as well, though.

0:08:510:08:54

Thank God! Good choice.

0:08:550:08:56

Amazing trick, but here's an almighty twist.

0:08:560:08:59

Belinda, let me-let me show you something.

0:08:590:09:02

Behind this screen we have a ten foot, five tonne

0:09:020:09:08

concrete wall.

0:09:080:09:09

Come and have a look, come and have a look.

0:09:090:09:13

-You could have driven into that, Belinda!

-Whoa...

0:09:130:09:16

Quite.

0:09:160:09:17

That's all we've got time for.

0:09:190:09:21

No! I say no!

0:09:210:09:23

Well, I'm afraid, GloZell, I have to say yes.

0:09:230:09:25

But join us next time on Now You See It

0:09:250:09:27

and until then, watch out -

0:09:270:09:29

magicians are everywhere.

0:09:290:09:30

Although, to be fair, some are easier to spot than others.
