Today, we have got an old dog with a new trick.

0:00:020:00:04

The things you are about to see will confound you.

0:00:060:00:09

-Underwater card trick? Welcome...

-You're not going to believe this.

0:00:090:00:12

..to Now You See It.

0:00:120:00:13

We start with magical prankster Rahat. He is so busy trying

0:00:250:00:29

to catch a Squirtle he's not looking where he's going.

0:00:290:00:32

Of course, this attracts a lot of attention.

0:00:370:00:39

This man has come all the way from the 1970s

0:00:410:00:42

just to see what's happening.

0:00:420:00:45

-Oh!

-You're walking on water!

0:00:450:00:47

The last man to walk on water was Jesus and you don't look like Jesus.

0:00:470:00:52

-I really don't.

-That doesn't make any sense. That makes no sense.

0:00:520:00:56

Yeah, it was kind of freaky.

0:00:560:00:58

-How...

-This is crazy!

0:00:590:01:00

Do it again!

0:01:000:01:01

Oh! Oh!

0:01:060:01:07

What is going on?!

0:01:100:01:12

Did you see that?

0:01:120:01:13

-Who are you calling?

-I'm calling my mama, that's who!

0:01:130:01:16

Mama, let me tell you something.

0:01:160:01:19

So, I know you're not going to believe this.

0:01:190:01:23

I was walking in the park and this dude, like, walked, like,

0:01:230:01:26

he walked on water.

0:01:260:01:29

No, no, I got to go. This is... This is...a lot.

0:01:290:01:32

I think he'll still be pondering on that to this day.

0:01:320:01:36

I got to think about things.

0:01:360:01:37

Who said building blocks are boring?

0:01:390:01:41

Everyone! Until now.

0:01:410:01:43

These blocks are actually balanced.

0:01:430:01:46

Judging by the bizarre way Danny Cole has stacked that crooked pile

0:01:460:01:49

of bricks, I think he might have been one of the builders who did

0:01:490:01:52

my kitchen extension.

0:01:520:01:54

Mmm.

0:01:540:01:55

And it's not a trick.

0:01:550:01:56

And it's not an illusion.

0:02:000:02:02

It's actually...

0:02:110:02:12

..real magic.

0:02:150:02:16

Is it real magic?

0:02:160:02:17

Or do the blocks now speak the truth?

0:02:170:02:20

Want to make a big splash in the magic world?

0:02:210:02:24

It's all done with slight of fist.

0:02:240:02:26

And now, it's our Magic Moment.

0:02:280:02:30

This time, it's the moment when a perfectly-ordinary man discovers

0:02:300:02:34

he has extraordinary powers. Not the best thing to happen

0:02:340:02:38

when you are holding a chainsaw, but let's see.

0:02:380:02:40

Well, no tree ever wants to be seen with their roots showing.

0:02:500:02:54

Now, to a restaurant kitchen, where the aptly-named Ali Cook

0:02:560:02:59

has conjured up a card-flinging machine - whatever that is.

0:02:590:03:03

-..down here.

-Through here, yes?

-About there. That's great.

-OK, then.

0:03:030:03:07

Excellent. OK?

0:03:070:03:09

For the very first time, I'd like you to name your card.

0:03:090:03:12

Three of diamonds.

0:03:120:03:15

-It's the three of diamonds, yeah?

-Yeah.

-OK, here we go. Watch.

0:03:150:03:18

"Look, Mum, no hands!"

0:03:180:03:20

But look between his toes.

0:03:210:03:23

It's only the three of diamonds!

0:03:230:03:24

The waitresses are delighted.

0:03:240:03:27

Unlike the customer, who has been waiting for his egg sandwich

0:03:270:03:29

-for an hour.

-I can't believe it! How did you find it?

0:03:290:03:32

Want to know how to make a car disappear,

0:03:400:03:42

apart from leaving it unattended on an inner-city street?

0:03:420:03:45

Now, that ability would be handy in rush hour.

0:03:510:03:53

-Have you ever levitated before?

-No.

0:03:530:03:55

-This is going to be easy.

-Here is Rich Ferguson, proving that

0:03:550:03:58

Abe Lincoln was wrong - you can fool all of the people all of the time.

0:03:580:04:02

From this moment, don't move,

0:04:020:04:03

cos you don't want to fall when you are 23 feet up!

0:04:030:04:05

With just some black goggles and a wooden plank buried in the sand,

0:04:050:04:08

he makes this lot believe he can get them to levitate 23 feet above

0:04:080:04:12

-a magic towel.

-Don't move your arms.

0:04:120:04:14

Just go with it. There is a natural balance you'll find.

0:04:140:04:17

Can he really fool people into thinking they're flying,

0:04:170:04:20

with such simple equipment?

0:04:200:04:21

Yes, apparently, as long as they are American.

0:04:240:04:26

Keep your balance!

0:04:260:04:28

No, no, no!

0:04:280:04:29

No, no, get your balance, get your balance!

0:04:350:04:37

-Get your balance. You're good.

-How high am I, bro?

0:04:370:04:40

LAUGHTER

0:04:430:04:47

-Did you think you were in the air?

-I totally did!

0:04:470:04:50

-"How am I going to land up there?"

-Everybody kept telling me,

0:04:500:04:53

"You are up there!"

0:04:530:04:54

Back to Earth with a bump now,

0:04:560:04:57

as we offer tips to every budding magician, with...

0:04:570:05:01

This chap has pulled quite a crowd. He's been doing this trick about

0:05:030:05:06

eight or nine hours.

0:05:060:05:08

-Are those cards yours?

-No.

-OK.

0:05:120:05:13

Yeah, OK, we know none of these four are the lady's card.

0:05:130:05:18

Of course, it's good to fool your audience into thinking it's all

0:05:190:05:23

going to pot - and then dazzle them, with a brilliant finale.

0:05:230:05:26

Oh, that crowd can't wait for the spectacular finish!

0:05:260:05:29

LAUGHTER

0:05:310:05:34

Well, a big reaction, nonetheless.

0:05:340:05:36

Street magic - nowhere to hide!

0:05:360:05:38

He made a real dog's dinner of that. Speaking of which, here is some...

0:05:400:05:44

Not all magicians have a glamorous assistant.

0:05:450:05:48

This man has a small dog,

0:05:480:05:50

as practise gets underway for Crufts' Got Talent.

0:05:500:05:53

And...

0:05:530:05:54

..gives you the chance to think about it, for a second. Pick a card.

0:05:560:06:00

On you go. Pick a good one.

0:06:010:06:02

All righty.

0:06:020:06:03

So, she picked the six of hearts.

0:06:030:06:05

That's a good one, Jilly.

0:06:050:06:06

We place that right on top of the deck.

0:06:060:06:08

Top of the deck.

0:06:080:06:09

We shuffle the deck.

0:06:090:06:11

Ask Jilly, please, get the box.

0:06:130:06:15

Good girl!

0:06:200:06:21

We place the deck in the box.

0:06:210:06:23

We carefully close the box, like such.

0:06:240:06:26

We place the box, with Jilly's card, in the magic bag.

0:06:270:06:31

Get the box. Get the card.

0:06:310:06:32

And does she have it?

0:06:320:06:34

You did it! Gimme five!

0:06:340:06:36

Next, how to have fun with a photocopier, without sitting on it.

0:06:370:06:40

Those 3-D printers are amazing!

0:06:450:06:47

So, you're underwater. What would you rather look at -

0:06:480:06:51

the Great Barrier Reef and it's 100,000 fish species...

0:06:510:06:54

or a card trick?

0:06:540:06:56

Yeah, me, too. Choose a card.

0:06:560:06:58

Using the special underwater language of pointing,

0:06:590:07:02

I see that the chosen card is the seven of clubs.

0:07:020:07:05

And what's that in her mouth?!

0:07:080:07:10

Amaze-balls!

0:07:140:07:15

MUSIC: Jaws film theme

0:07:150:07:16

They were both so absorbed in the trick, they never noticed

0:07:160:07:19

the great white shark swimming up behind them!

0:07:190:07:21

MUSIC COMES TO CRESCENDO

0:07:210:07:23

Which brings us neatly to...

0:07:250:07:28

DOING!

0:07:280:07:30

If you want to be the best and want to beat the rest,

0:07:300:07:32

levitation's what you need.

0:07:320:07:34

Which is also what this assistant in London's Covent Garden is lacking.

0:07:340:07:40

Of course, what anyone needs in a situation like this

0:07:400:07:42

is a supportive audience. I know just the crowd...

0:07:420:07:44

Argh-h-h-h-h!!

0:07:440:07:47

Boo-o-o-o-o!!

0:07:500:07:51

Time for our big finish. Some really cool magic now,

0:07:520:07:55

as Ben Hart unwisely performs a trick in just his pants,

0:07:550:07:59

in a room that is minus five degrees.

0:07:590:08:01

The reason I brought you here to this freezing cold environment

0:08:030:08:06

-is so you know nothing is going in or out of sleeves.

-Yes.

0:08:060:08:09

And it is so cold I can hardly move my hands. So, my hands

0:08:090:08:11

are definitely not going to be going faster than your eyes can see.

0:08:110:08:14

I have got a box of eggs here.

0:08:140:08:16

I need you to choose one at random. Just take out your favourite egg.

0:08:160:08:20

-Be careful, don't drop it.

-No, don't drop it,

0:08:220:08:24

-cos that is your favourite egg.

-This egg?

-No.

0:08:240:08:27

-You do not want this egg?

-No.

0:08:280:08:31

-You do not want this egg?

-No.

0:08:310:08:32

-You do not want this egg?

-No!

0:08:320:08:34

-You do not want this egg?

-No.

0:08:340:08:36

Now, we have an egg, we just need somewhere to cook it.

0:08:360:08:38

Yep, OK!

0:08:380:08:40

-Yeah!

-He's not suggesting cooking the egg in his pants, is he?

0:08:400:08:44

-No!

-Yes!

-You're not normal!

0:08:440:08:46

Would you drop the egg in there.

0:08:460:08:49

OK, and now we turn on the timer and just wait.

0:08:510:08:54

And what I do is, I can just summon up all this heat.

0:08:550:08:59

-It's getting really warm. I don't know if you can feel that.

-Yeah.

0:08:590:09:02

Get ready. Talk amongst yourselves! Right, here we go.

0:09:020:09:05

Here we go! It's done! You will not believe me.

0:09:050:09:08

But inside my pants, I have summoned up...

0:09:080:09:11

..the power... It's very hot, actually. ..to turn this egg...

0:09:130:09:16

..into a hard-boiled one.

0:09:180:09:19

SHE SCREAMS

0:09:190:09:21

-And it's really cooked!

-Exactly how you like it!

0:09:230:09:26

That egg might be boiled, but their brains are scrambled.

0:09:260:09:29

-You can eat it!

-I'm good, thank you(!)

0:09:290:09:31

What do you keep in your pants?!

0:09:310:09:32

Clearly, a saucepan of boiling water, my dear.

0:09:320:09:34

And that is it! Join me next time, for more amazing thrills,

0:09:360:09:39

horrific spills and unintentional chills

0:09:390:09:42

on Now You See It.
