0:00:03 > 0:00:05Welcome to the world of Epic,
0:00:05 > 0:00:10the place where you can become a master at everything on the planet.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14No matter what it is, this programme shows you how to do it.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16So sit back, strap yourself in
0:00:16 > 0:00:20and get ready to become Epic At Everything!
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Welcome to your Quick Blast of Epicness.
0:00:24 > 0:00:29First up, acting is an epic skill that can seriously help you out.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30And to show you how to do it,
0:00:30 > 0:00:33we've got a top Hollywood actor and everything.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36I'm David Harewood, and I'm going to show you three techniques
0:00:36 > 0:00:39- that will help you act your way out of anything.- Awesome!- Picture this.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43- You've broken your mum's best vase, she's just come home.- Oh-oh!
0:00:43 > 0:00:47- You need a straight face. Give nothing away.- Good plan, David.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52Now you do this by clearing your mind and staring straight ahead like this.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54He knows nothing. Look at him.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- Then your mum asks you right out, "Did you break my vase?"- Yes.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Now at this point you need to master the innocent look.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Well, how do I do that?
0:01:03 > 0:01:07You need to keep your nose, your mouth and your brow perfectly still,
0:01:07 > 0:01:09but you have to open your eyes wide like this.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Eyes wide open, got it!
0:01:11 > 0:01:13"No, Mum. Maybe the dog did it."
0:01:13 > 0:01:14He's definitely innocent.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18At this point, your mum reminds you that the dog is at the vet's.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19You need to look confused.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Fast! Now furrow your brow and squint your eyes,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24as if you're thinking really hard about something.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26I'm thinking I probably shouldn't have
0:01:26 > 0:01:28smashed that vase in the first place.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32And if that doesn't work, well, you should just come clean and 'fess up.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36And that is how to act your way out of a tricky situation.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Thanks, David. Now for something different.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Guten tag. My name is Max Byrne. Tss!
0:01:44 > 0:01:46And I'm going to show you how to slice a banana
0:01:46 > 0:01:48without even peeling it.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- Impossible.- The secret to this trick is a needle and thread.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Of course(!) - OK, so, you need to get your needle,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57and you see the ridges all over the banana?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00You're going to place your needle into that first ridge there
0:02:00 > 0:02:03and bring it out as close as possible to the next ridge on the banana.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06And then you're going to place the needle as close as possible to that
0:02:06 > 0:02:09hole, bringing it out the next ridge, and you're going to keep going
0:02:09 > 0:02:12around the banana till you get to the very last hole.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13And you're going to bring the needle
0:02:13 > 0:02:15out of the exact same hole you started on.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Then grab the two pieces of thread...
0:02:19 > 0:02:20..and pull like that.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Continue to do that alongside the banana about 1 centimetre apart
0:02:23 > 0:02:26and you've got yourself one sliced banana.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Let's see what we got!
0:02:33 > 0:02:37And that's how you slice a banana without peeling it.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Now split!
0:02:39 > 0:02:42OK, time for one last blast of Epicness.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46We're going to show you how to make a cloud.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Hi, I'm Fran Scott,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- and I'm going to show you how to make the perfect cloud.- Yes, please!
0:02:51 > 0:02:54You'll need a fizzy drinks bottle, a foot pump,
0:02:54 > 0:02:58some nail varnish remover, some scissors, an old inner tube...
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- Classic.- ..and something to cover your eyes.- Safety first!
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Take your bicycle inner tube,
0:03:04 > 0:03:08and you want the valve from your inner tube, so just snip it out
0:03:08 > 0:03:11like that, cos what you want to do is
0:03:11 > 0:03:14put your valve through your bottle top.
0:03:14 > 0:03:20Now make sure that it fits nice and snugly in your lid because when
0:03:20 > 0:03:23this lid is on your bottle you want it to be as airtight as possible.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Got it! What's next?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29What we're going to do is pour a little bit of nail varnish remover
0:03:29 > 0:03:30into the bottle.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Pop your lid on, and...
0:03:33 > 0:03:34shake your bottle.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38This is evaporating the nail varnish remover, turning it into a gas.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45Put your pump on the bottle and then you're going to pump air into it.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Now, get an adult to help you with this bit
0:03:47 > 0:03:48cos it can be pretty dangerous.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Mum!
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Oh, it gets more and more difficult as you go on!
0:03:54 > 0:03:59Then you want to take your lid off your bottle, like...
0:04:00 > 0:04:06- Whoa!- And that is how to make a cloud in a bottle.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Now we're going to make a massive rain cloud.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12To make this happen, I'm going to need a friend.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13- Meet Dr Nate.- Hi!
0:04:13 > 0:04:18- Hi, Nate!- And his liquid nitrogen. - Hi, liquid nitrogen.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20And to that we're going to add some really hot water.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24And when the hot water hits the liquid nitrogen,
0:04:24 > 0:04:28that's when you'll see a cloud. And this is going to be really Epic!
0:04:28 > 0:04:34- Ooh, I can't wait.- Are you ready, Nate?- I'm ready.- Three, two, one, go!
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Epic!
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Thanks, Fran.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45So, there you have it, your Quick Blast of Epicness.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50Now go forth and Be Epic At Everything!
