It's term-time again and our four magicians

0:00:020:00:03

have left school on a brand-new mission.

0:00:030:00:06

This time, we're taking unsuspecting kids out of school

0:00:060:00:10

and sending them on school trips.

0:00:100:00:12

They're off to visit some amazing locations,

0:00:120:00:15

where they'll witness incredible magic.

0:00:150:00:17

And, once again, we're hiding secret cameras in every corner

0:00:180:00:22

so you don't miss a trick on any school trip.

0:00:220:00:24

How long will it take before the classes shout...

0:00:240:00:27

This is Year Four, mounting their mighty steed

0:00:350:00:38

for a school trip into the past.

0:00:380:00:41

It's a trip to...

0:00:410:00:43

Leeds Castle, deep in the Kent countryside.

0:00:430:00:47

They don't know it yet,

0:00:470:00:48

but this castle's going to give them the creeps.

0:00:480:00:51

The castle we're in today is very old,

0:00:510:00:53

so we're going to play on that with the tricks

0:00:530:00:55

and make it maybe a little bit spooky,

0:00:550:00:57

and there might be some frights along the way.

0:00:570:00:59

Here comes the class now

0:00:590:01:00

and they're going to meet our king of conjuring

0:01:000:01:03

with some tales that'll blow their minds

0:01:030:01:05

and chill their spines.

0:01:050:01:07

-Good afternoon.

-ALL SHOUT: Good afternoon!

0:01:070:01:09

Wonderful.

0:01:090:01:10

I'm pleased to tell you that today

0:01:100:01:12

we have several artefacts to show you

0:01:120:01:15

from the time of Catherine of Aragon.

0:01:150:01:17

If I could show this beautiful cabinet here,

0:01:170:01:20

which was kept in her bedroom, next to her bed,

0:01:200:01:23

and inside are kept some of her possessions

0:01:230:01:26

that might have been found in the bedroom in the 1500s.

0:01:260:01:30

Not really.

0:01:300:01:31

Here we have a bell.

0:01:310:01:33

Not lunchtime yet, though.

0:01:340:01:35

We also have this.

0:01:350:01:38

Who can tell me what this is?

0:01:380:01:40

-Yes.

-A tambourine.

-It's a tambourine, that's right.

0:01:400:01:43

And it would have been used by the court jesters.

0:01:430:01:45

That's very, very old, indeed.

0:01:450:01:47

And we have this...

0:01:470:01:48

..which is a goblet full of jewels,

0:01:500:01:52

which is very, very old

0:01:520:01:54

and very, very valuable there.

0:01:540:01:55

Remember these objects.

0:01:550:01:57

And, last but certainly not least,

0:01:570:01:59

a wonderful picture of Catherine herself.

0:01:590:02:02

Beautiful lady, Catherine.

0:02:020:02:04

Looks more like Princess Leia from Star Wars!

0:02:040:02:07

Now...

0:02:070:02:09

Let's just pop that back in there

0:02:090:02:10

and if we close up the curtains...

0:02:100:02:13

Nope, nothing funny going on at the back!

0:02:130:02:15

Now, in addition to this, another interesting thing

0:02:160:02:19

happened here at the castle, all those years ago.

0:02:190:02:21

You see, it is while Henry was married to...

0:02:210:02:23

BELL RINGS

0:02:230:02:25

What just happened?

0:02:250:02:26

The bell just fell over.

0:02:330:02:35

That's very strange.

0:02:350:02:37

It most certainly is. Must have been a draught!

0:02:370:02:40

Anyway, what was I saying?

0:02:400:02:42

That's right, it was while he was married to his first wife,

0:02:420:02:45

Catherine of Aragon, that the King met his second wife and...

0:02:450:02:49

Whoa, the tambourine fell out of the cabinet!

0:02:490:02:52

What on earth?

0:02:520:02:54

There's no-one in there!

0:02:540:02:55

And it's not a spooky coincidence.

0:02:570:02:59

That is very strange, isn't it?

0:03:030:03:04

Strange magic!

0:03:040:03:06

Maybe we should just put that back and carry on.

0:03:080:03:10

Yes, everything's fine, everything's fine.

0:03:100:03:12

James is enjoying this charade, and it's not over yet.

0:03:120:03:15

He met his second wife, Anne Boleyn,

0:03:150:03:17

as he was married to Catherine of Aragon here at the castle.

0:03:170:03:20

In fact, she was one of the...

0:03:200:03:22

Nervous laughter and hands over mouths -

0:03:240:03:26

this dastardly trick is definitely working.

0:03:260:03:28

-LAUGHTER

-They've spotted something untoward.

0:03:310:03:33

THEY CALL OUT

0:03:330:03:35

It's behind you!

0:03:350:03:36

That's alleviated the tension, the picture's changed!

0:03:380:03:41

That's not Catherine of Aragon at all!

0:03:410:03:44

It's now a very strange-looking man indeed.

0:03:440:03:47

Putting it mildly, that's John!

0:03:470:03:49

Now, such things can go unexplained -

0:03:510:03:54

as you imagine, this castle is very old.

0:03:540:03:56

However, I do have an explanation

0:03:560:03:59

for the happenings today.

0:03:590:04:01

Would you like to know the explanation

0:04:010:04:03

to the wondrous events?

0:04:030:04:05

You see...

0:04:050:04:06

this is not Catherine.

0:04:060:04:08

They know that much.

0:04:080:04:09

His name...

0:04:090:04:11

is John.

0:04:110:04:13

The truth will out!

0:04:130:04:15

And I'm a magician.

0:04:150:04:17

And you've all been set up

0:04:170:04:19

by your teachers and your parents

0:04:190:04:21

and you're being filmed on cameras there and there and there

0:04:210:04:25

for CBBC's Help, My School Trip Is Magic!

0:04:250:04:29

Wow, that magic featured a strange presence from the past,

0:04:330:04:36

but how did the class remember it?

0:04:360:04:39

It was really amazing.

0:04:390:04:42

She was one of the...

0:04:420:04:44

I felt like I was dreaming,

0:04:450:04:47

because I knew that couldn't possibly be real.

0:04:470:04:49

It was real, all right - really magic.

0:04:510:04:53

They didn't see it coming and they couldn't work it out.
