Episode 2 Help! My Mini School Trip Is Magic

It's termtime again

and our four magicians have left school on a brand-new mission.

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

and sending them on school trips.

They're off to visit some amazing locations where they'll

witness incredible magic.

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

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

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

Here are year four and five getting on the coach.

They're going to the Lee Valley Athletics Centre to see

the hi-tech sporting facilities.

While John and Fergus get wigs affixed and make-up applied,

the class are on their way.

Adios!

They'd better make their way to the starting blocks.

Here comes the class and they're ready. Get set and go magic.

-Good morning, boys and girls.

-Good morning.

-Yes, and welcome here.

This is the Lee Valley Athletics Centre,

responsible for training highly efficient athletes like myself

and others that you might have seen on the television competing in games.

Now, my name is Mr Wigon, you can call me Ivor,

that's my first name, Ivor, I let my friends call me Ivor.

Hang on a minute, did he just say his name was Ivor Wigon?

-This is my son, here, this is Radley.

-Radley Wigon?!

I'm going to hand you over to Radley now,

he'll tell you a little bit about the things that he does here.

Away you go, Radley.

-HIGH-PITCHED VOICE:

-Thanks, Dad. So today I've brought with me...

This is called the hyperextension machine.

He'll be hyperextending the truth.

The hyperextension machine allows for a greater

amount of flexibility, so I'd like to demonstrate that for you now.

-Who'd like to see it?

-Me!

-Very good, very good.

-So, I can take my shoes off.

-Do you want me to get you in there, son?

Yes, please, Dad, if you don't mind.

The class are getting suspicious but Fergus is about to

stretch their belief that little bit further.

There we go, so I'm going to get in here like that.

-In you go, son.

-That's brilliant.

Legs there.

Lovely, yeah.

Put my head through.

Yeah, great. So, in the hyperextension machine,

what we've got is a microfiltration system,

a microfiltration system that circulates heated

fluid around the machine and around the muscles.

It means I can stretch them further -

more than you would think otherwise humanly possible.

So we're all going to start off by breathing

together in a nice, relaxed way.

So, and in...

EVERYONE INHALES

That's it, nice and calmly and slowly and smoothly -

-slowly and smoothly wins the race.

-That's right, son.

When I breathe in, I want everyone to stretch up to the air,

so stretch up...

Good, and then stretch down.

Good, and then stretch up...

Fergus's hands are stretching up in the hyperextension machine.

-..and then stretch down.

-FERGUS GROANS

Whoa! How low did his hands just go?!

-How low did their jaws just drop?

-This time, we'll change over.

-This is the hard stretch, isn't it, Dad?

-Watch him go!

-Wow, he's one bendy magician.

-And then back again.

That's incredible, how does he do that?

But, of course, Dad, like you've always said to me,

it's important you've got a flexible neck when you're doing it.

-Yeah, that's right, son.

-I'm going to stick my neck out

and predict this trick's going to get even better.

So I've made sure now that I've got a super flexible neck.

Wow! He just rotated his head the full 360

and he's winding the class up good and proper with this muscular magic.

Now, it's not just the upper body you need to do,

it's the legs as well, so I'll stick my legs out the side like that

and then I'll stretch first to the front and the back at the same time.

His legs are out and the class's eyes are popping out.

And then I'll change over again, just like that.

They cannot believe it.

And then, once I've done that and held that for a little while,

-I can shake it out just like that.

-Shake it out?

More like leave it out.

And it's time to let the secret loose too.

This brings me neatly on to my next event and that is to tell you

that I am not actually an Olympic-training athlete.

And neither am I.

In fact, my name's John and I'm a magician.

And I'm called...

-IN HIS OWN VOICE:

-Fergus and I'm also a magician.

There's a camera over there, there's a camera over there,

there's a camera over there and you're going to be on CBBC's

-Help! My School Trip Is Magic!

-CHEERING

Well, MO me down with a feather,

that was by FARAH the best magic I've ever seen.

Let's hear what they thought about it.

I thought that trick was spectacular.

I'm so, so happy. I'm just... Wow!

The school trip had no idea that Fergus and John were magicians.

How long will it take for you to shout...?
