0:00:04 > 0:00:06Welcome to the world of Epic.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10Sit back, strap yourself in
0:00:10 > 0:00:13and get ready to become epic at everything!
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Welcome to your quick blast of epicness.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20So, what are we waiting for? Let's do this.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27First up,
0:00:27 > 0:00:31here's an epic trick that will win you loads of playground points.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34I'm Ben, I'm a magician and I'm going to show you a cool magic trick
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- on how to make a coin disappear. - Sounds good, magic man.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Shazam!
0:00:39 > 0:00:42I'm going to try and make this coin disappear.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Check this out, look.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47If I rub on my elbow, it should disappear. Look.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Oh, that didn't work. Let's give it another go. Watch.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Nice start, Ben(!) Awk-ward!
0:00:56 > 0:00:57It goes.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Er, it's in your other hand.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00- What, there?- Yeah.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04- No, that's gone as well.- Ooh, now, that is pretty impressive stuff.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07OK, Johnny Magic Pants, tell us how it's done.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10You're going to take the coin and you're going to rub it up against
0:01:10 > 0:01:13your elbow with your fingers covering it.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15And you're going to let go...
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Awkward, again.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18The coin will fall on the table, but that's OK.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- That's a deliberate fail. - Yeah, we knew that.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24The next bit is sneaky and it's where the trick happens.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27As I go to put this coin into this hand,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29I keep it in this hand.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- And then I close this hand as if it's got the coin in.- Smooth.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Finally, you need to make this coin disappear.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39As I pretend to rub it on the elbow,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41the hand with the coin in
0:01:41 > 0:01:45puts it down your shirt.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Whoa. Next-level stuff.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Nobody will ever see you do it,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51because they're too busy watching this hand.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Then, slowly, let go.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01People will be amazed because the coin's gone,
0:02:01 > 0:02:05and some people will start to question this hand that is closed.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06This is when you've really got 'em,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09because you can open it and show them they're wrong.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Love it!
0:02:11 > 0:02:13And that is how to do a cool coin trick.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18Right, next up on our epic journey is something completely different.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21If you like grooming and horses, then you're in luck.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Hi, I'm Gemma. This is Dillis.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I'm going to show you how to groom a horse.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Now, always work heel-to-toe in a downwards motion.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34This you can be quite firm with because he doesn't have feeling here,
0:02:34 > 0:02:38but this V-shape, called the frog, you have to be rather sensitive with.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41I always turn the hoof pick around and use the brush.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Next, we're going to brush him.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47You start behind the horse's ears, in a downward motion,
0:02:47 > 0:02:51in the same direction as the coat. You can use this brush down his legs,
0:02:51 > 0:02:52and under his belly.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56This area is quite ticklish, normally, for them.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57To brush the horse's mane,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00you can use a wide-tooth metal or plastic mane comb,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02and it's just like brushing your own hair, really.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06You can start at the top and just work your way down.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09You can also do his forelock with the same comb.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Right, it's important when you're doing the tail
0:03:12 > 0:03:13to always stand at the side, in case
0:03:13 > 0:03:17he jumps and accidentally treads on you or, worse, kicks you.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20OK, so it's just like brushing your own hair.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I always hold quite a big chunk in my left hand and then just
0:03:23 > 0:03:27let a little bit out, little bit more...until you're all done.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29And that's how you groom a horse.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Unfortunately, we've only got time for one last dose of epicness,
0:03:34 > 0:03:38but for this we've got you a world champion from a very unlikely sport.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41I'm Dougie Isaacs
0:03:41 > 0:03:44and I'm going to shake you how to skim stones like a world champion.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Dougie, you're my new hero.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50The main thing about stone-skimming
0:03:50 > 0:03:53is to get a nice round, flat stone,
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- or it just won't skim properly. - That is a flat stone.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Grip the stone with your thumb and your forefinger,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01so you get extra spin when you throw it.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I like to use a stone with a little ridge on it,
0:04:03 > 0:04:05so as you're throwing it, you get
0:04:05 > 0:04:07a little bit of extra spin off your finger.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10When you're throwing the stone into the water you have to get it
0:04:10 > 0:04:14as flat as you possibly can, and I think about knee-height is best.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18So when you put all your little tips together, it should go like this.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Dougie, that's gone miles! You are cooler than the river around you.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30And that's how you skim a stone like a world champion.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34So, there you have it - your quick blast of epicness.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39Now go forth and be epic at everything!
