It's term time again | 0:00:02 | 0:00:03 | |
and our four magicians have left school on a brand-new mission. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
But do you think you'd recognise them | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
if they were outside the classroom? | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
Do you? | 0:00:11 | 0:00:12 | |
Now's your chance, cos they're going deeper undercover | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
with new disguises, ambitious costumes and even taller tales. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:22 | |
# La, la, la, la! # | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
This time, we're taking unsuspecting kids out of school, | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
piling them on coaches and sending them on school trips. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
They're off to visit some amazing locations | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
where they'll witness incredible magic. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
-I was like, -HE GASPS: -"Oh, my gosh!" | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
And once again we're hiding secret cameras in every corner | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
so you don't miss a trick on any school trip. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
The magic is bigger than ever. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
Wow! | 0:00:50 | 0:00:51 | |
It might be term time, but school's out. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
I can't believe our teachers did that. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
How long will it take before the classes shout...? | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
Hello. It's me, Ian. Welcome to Help! My School Trip is Magic. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:10 | |
Our magicians are no longer supply teachers. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
They're now masquerading as staff in some popular attractions. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:18 | |
And because we know you know them, we've disguised them even more. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:23 | |
We've secretly filmed the results with special hidden cameras. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
Let's see what's coming up in today's show. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
Fergus runs rings round this school trip to the museum. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
There he is! Thank you, Alexander. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
James can't stand keeping a secret in Tricks Of The Trade. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
You've been sending in all your best magic tricks | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
and later on I'll be picking my favourite. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
It's the Wannabe Wizards. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
And the class don't know where this trip is blowing | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
when Katherine lets rip with some musical magic. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
Do you think you'd be able to tell if your school trip was magic? | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
Do you? | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
When it comes to school trips, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
John's always on the ball. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
And this ball's about to become - that's right - small. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
But plenty of big surprises to come. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
This is Year 4 bundling on their bus. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
They're going on the road for a school trip, but they've been | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
led up the garden path, as this is a school trip with a difference. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
Yes, it's a day out of school, yes, it's educational, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
but it's also magic. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
Oh, no, we didn't! | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
They won't know what's hit them on their trip to the Geffrye Museum. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
Named after a former Lord Mayor of London, it's a museum showing | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
how the interiors of homes have historically reflected | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
changes in society. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
And it's time to change the exteriors of our magicians | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
so they won't be recognised. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
The museum contains front rooms | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
ranging from 1600 to the present day. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
But we're going back to a time before TV, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
and it's going to be a big wind up. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
The school are wending their way to the scene, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
but what can they expect from our leading men today? | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
For the class today, I'm going to be Gerry Farthing | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
who's Victorian, but he's a little bit more working class. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
-GRUFF VOICE: -He's a little bit more "Now then, 'ow ya doin'?" | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
I'm sort of more of the butler character, | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
and Fergus, who's playing Alexander Ball, | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
he's more of the... He's more of the squire, you know, | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
so he's in charge of me although we'll see how that works out. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
I think we can see who the boss really is in this corridor of power. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
No time for slowcoaches - | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
they better bust a move cos the bus has arrived. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
The trippers are sitting inside the historical sitting rooms | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
and drawing the old drawing rooms. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
Let's hope they don't waxwork out that that's John sitting there. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
Meanwhile, Fergus is doing a little throwaway trick | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
to test everything's working. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
John's joined him now, and he's running through his vocal warm ups. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
-Ooh, aah, eee. -Is he for real? | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
Aye. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
And if my eyes don't deceive me, | 0:04:05 | 0:04:06 | |
there are the kids. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:07 | |
My name is Gerry Farthing, this here is my squire, | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
this is Sir Alexander Ball. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:13 | |
We work here at the museum telling people about the Victorian era. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
This is John's audition as a butler for Downton. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
He's dumbing up with some magic later, though. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
Now, of course, in the Victorian era they didn't have television. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
They had no television, they had to entertain themselves | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
in different ways - they used to play games. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
A bit like when John was a boy. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
They played games outside, like football, they still had that, | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
but in the house, in the parlour, they used to play parlour games. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
They used to have games likes this - we've got things like Ludo, | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
Snakes And Ladders and Draughts and all sorts. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
All manner, all manner of games. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
All real Victorian era games, | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
but Fergus is about to play his magical game on them. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
Well, now, the Victorians did love a jolly good puzzle, | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
they couldn't get enough of good puzzles | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
and what I have here is a Victorian puzzle mystery box. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
A box can be entered from the sides, the front and the top. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:05 | |
The first part of this particular mystery involved | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
two pieces of rope, one white, one red. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
Now, what I'm going to do is place the pieces of rope into the box | 0:05:11 | 0:05:16 | |
and I want everybody here to keep your eyes on the ends. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:21 | |
Fergus's posh accent knows no end, | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
but I'm keeping my eye on the rope ends. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
Can you do that for me? | 0:05:25 | 0:05:26 | |
-ALL SHOUT: -Yes! | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
Very good, very good. Yeah, very good. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
The class are psyched, but wait till they get a load of this. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
Watch them closely. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
So, the middles go into the box, and they come out the top, | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
and the ends stay outside. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
Now, some of the more astute of you in the class may have noticed | 0:05:40 | 0:05:45 | |
the middles of the rope have linked. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
I'm astute, but how did that happen? | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
Despite the fact that those ends never left your sight, | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
so those middles passed through each other. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
Absolutely bamboozling - completely bamboozled those Victorians. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
And you can see they're properly linked. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
The ropes are linked, but they missed it. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
There's more to come from this box of tricks. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
Have a look at that there, have a look at that rope there. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
-Just see if it pulls apart. Are there any funny bits in the rope? -No. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
Lovely. Well, if you pass me back the rope. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
They've examined the ropes, but there's nothing ropey about them. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
Well, if it's not the ropes, it must be the box. There must be | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
something else hiding in the box. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
Absolutely nothing, no extra pieces of rope, | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
no funny business whatsoever. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
This makes the second part of the mystery completely confuddling. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:33 | |
A real mind-messer. Ha! | 0:06:33 | 0:06:34 | |
So, if we take the white rope and the red rope once again, | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
we'll pass these into the box and pass them through the top. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:43 | |
So, here we go, just like so. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
Now, at this point some of the Victorians would say, | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
"Hey, I bet those ropes are already linked", | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
but as you can see, nothing has happened yet. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
Now, I will need two volunteers to come and help me | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
hold one end of the rope each. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
Who'd like to come and help me? | 0:07:00 | 0:07:01 | |
-Yes, let's' have you. What's your name? -Ruth. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
Ruth, will you come up? And let's have... What's your name? | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
-Iggy. -Iggy. Iggy, you come up. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:08 | |
A round of applause for the two volunteers, please. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:07:11 | 0:07:12 | |
Assisting in magic beats homework hands down. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
Lovely. Now, Ruth, I'd like you to, with one hand, | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
hold both pieces of rope, | 0:07:18 | 0:07:19 | |
and Iggy, I'd like you to do the same. Lovely. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
I'm going to place this quill... A quill's a thing that they used to | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
write with back many, many years ago before the invention of pens. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
I'm going to place that in-between the ropes. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
Could you lightly pull both your ropes very lightly? | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
Gently just pull them out of the box. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
Lovely, so you'll pull your white rope, Iggy, | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
and you'll pull your red rope, Ruth, fantastic job. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
Now, don't pull for the moment, just loosen slightly, | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
but hold on to those ends tightly. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
Now, are we agreed it would be | 0:07:46 | 0:07:47 | |
quite impossible for those | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
two ropes to link as they are | 0:07:49 | 0:07:50 | |
clearly separate, yes? | 0:07:50 | 0:07:51 | |
-ALL: -Yes! | 0:07:51 | 0:07:52 | |
Good, so if I remove the quill, | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
I'm going to place the red rope | 0:07:54 | 0:07:55 | |
into the box and place | 0:07:55 | 0:07:56 | |
the white rope into the box. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
Now, I want you to hold on to those ropes nice and tightly, | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
on the count of three, you're going | 0:08:01 | 0:08:02 | |
to pull them out of the box. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
Three, two, one, go! | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
-RUTH: -What?! | 0:08:06 | 0:08:07 | |
And you can see - impossible! | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
They've linked, they've melted through and linked in the middle. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
Wow! the ropes have linked inside the box. It's impossible! | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
It's mind-melting magic! | 0:08:16 | 0:08:17 | |
Well, it's rope-melting magic. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
Remarkable! Can we have a round of applause for my volunteers? | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
The ropes are together, but it's not over yet. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
The last part of the mystery didn't involve two ropes, | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
it actually involved just one piece of rope. So, er... | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
This man here on the end. Which piece do you prefer? | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
-White. -The white piece. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
Excellent, this is the piece we'll use. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
So, I place this through the box | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
just like I did with those other pieces of rope - | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
enters the box and comes out the other side. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
Here's the next part - we use a solid metal hoop. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
So I'd like yourself... | 0:08:49 | 0:08:50 | |
have a look at the hoop, make sure it doesn't come apart, | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
no funny business, and then place the hoop back in my hand. Lovely! | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
So, a solid hoop | 0:08:57 | 0:08:58 | |
and a solid piece of rope. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
The hoop is going to go into the box | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
with the piece of rope. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:04 | |
It only takes a few moments, | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
we just let that hoop settle | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
with that piece of rope. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
Good tension building - they'll be open-mouthed in a minute. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:16 | |
I think now it should be done. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
The inexplicable, boys and girls, | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
has happened. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:21 | |
Somehow that hoop has melted | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
onto the centre of that rope. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
Isn't that quite remarkable, boys and girls? | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
The trick was inside the box, but the secret isn't out yet. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
Fergus showed them his puzzling box of tricks. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
It was empty, but the ropes mysteriously connected in the box. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
What was going on in there? | 0:09:42 | 0:09:43 | |
Coming up - will it be hoop, hoop hooray | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
when Fergus ends up inside these solid rings? | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
Incredible! Now, thank you, thank you. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
Now John is going to set you a magical challenge | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
in Tricks Of The Trade. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
If you fancy yourself as a magician, | 0:09:58 | 0:09:59 | |
here's a trick you can play on your mates. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
John is going to show you how to stop James standing up | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
by simply using one finger. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
Can't be done, right? | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
Wrong! | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
If you can't work it out, | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
John will point you in the right direction later... | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
with any luck. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:17 | |
Back to the museum, where Fergus fooled them | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
with his hoop on a rope parlour game. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
And John's about to go one better. Hoop-fully... | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
Another hoop game that they played was this one here, | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
which was called hoop jumping. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
Now, hoop jumping used some of these things - big, horrible metal hoops. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
Have a look at that one. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
You have a look at that one, solid metal. Now... | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
Noted and verified. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
You just have look at that, Sir Alexander, and maybe that one. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
Now, the idea of hoop jumping was that people used to try | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
and jump in and out of the hoops. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
They see where this is going, and they're happy to follow. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
Now, if you're really good, you might be able to jump | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
into two or three hoops, but the record is ten hoops. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:02 | |
And they used to play this game in the dark, the Victorians, right? | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
They played a lot of games in the dark | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
cos they didn't have a lot of electricity then, not many lights. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
Not many lights - | 0:11:10 | 0:11:11 | |
and soon they won't be able to hold a candle to Fergus' magic. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
So they had to play it in the dark, | 0:11:14 | 0:11:15 | |
and what you had to do is try to jump into these hoops. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
Now, Alexander here is very good at the game. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
The game being magic, Alexander being Fergus. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
Alexander can get into those hoops | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
in under ten seconds, boys and girls. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
All right, mate, don't show off. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
In under ten seconds, without jumping over the top. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
It's remarkable to see. We're going to give it a little go now, | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
and we're going to do it in the dark, so I've got a curtain here. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
John raised expectations, it's time to raise the curtain on this trick. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:42 | |
So, what we'll do, we'll count him down from ten. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
We'll see if he can do it in ten seconds. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
I want you to all count with me from ten down to one. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
Are you ready? Here we go. Ten... | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
-ALL COUNT: -Nine, eight, seven, | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
six, five, four... | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
Here he comes, has he done it? | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
..two, one! And there he is - completely inside the hoops. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
He's only gone and done it! He's gone through those hoops. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
It's a tight squeeze. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:08 | |
Incredible. Now, now, thank you, thank you. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
The class are suitably impressed, but there's more. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
The incredible thing is that Alexander here, | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
good that he is, right? He's a good guy to work for, | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
Alexander can get out of those hoops twice as fast as he can get in. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
Good job she's holding her head on - her mind's about to be blown. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
Alexander's going to attempt to | 0:12:27 | 0:12:28 | |
get out of the hoops in under five seconds. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
They don't believe it can be done. I'm not sure I do. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
-Under five seconds. -Five seconds? | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
I've never done that before in my life! | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
Oh, come on, sir, you'll be able to do it. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
Now, boys and girls, you've got to count me down. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
Who does he think he is? Houdini? | 0:12:41 | 0:12:42 | |
Are you ready? Here we go. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
-ALL COUNT: -Five, four, | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
three, two, one. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
Zero - and there he is! | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
-Alexander - completely out of the hoops, there he is. -Hey! | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
Thank you, Alexander. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
Yeah, he's out of the solid hoops in one piece. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
Not a hair on his wig out of place. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
Sit yourselves down. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:02 | |
I've... I've got a little confession to make, ain't I? Now... | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
They've been dressed for the past, but now it's time to give | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
this class a little present and reveal the big secret. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
Myself and Alexander, we don't work here, really. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
This is really Fergus, in case you hadn't guessed. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
He's heard of Fergus. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:18 | |
My name is John | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
and we're actually magicians | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
and you've been set up by your teachers and your parents, | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
and there's a camera here and there's a camera there, | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
and there's a camera at the back, there's a camera over there, | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
and you're all going to appear on Help! My School Trip is Magic! | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
CHEERING | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
The hoop trick has sent this class loopy. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
But how did they describe what they witnessed? | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
I thought it was just epic. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 | |
The trippers were cock-a-hoop when Fergus showed them | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
his magical box of tricks. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
My favourite bit of the trick was | 0:13:58 | 0:13:59 | |
when the pieces of rope joined together and the hoop was on it. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
The hoopla hoo-ha got even larger | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
when Fergus leapt into the ring. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
..one! And there he is. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
He got through all of those big rings | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
and he couldn't have unscrewed them in that time, so... | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
And there he is. Alexander - | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
completely out of the hoops, there he is. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
At the end they said they were magicians, | 0:14:21 | 0:14:22 | |
but I still couldn't work out how they managed to do it. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:26 | |
Magic, magic and more magic! | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
They didn't expect that. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
How long would it take for you to shout...? | 0:14:30 | 0:14:31 | |
Still to come to come - John will reveal a secret that will | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
make you stand out in Tricks Of The Trade. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
Have you worked it out yet? | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
And will Katherine be brassed off if these pupils | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
realise their school trip is magic? | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
ALL GASP | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
But first, we asked you to send in clips of yourself | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
performing your best magic tricks. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
We received loads of clips | 0:14:59 | 0:15:00 | |
from all over the country. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
Each week, I'll be choosing | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
a favourite Wannabe Wizard | 0:15:04 | 0:15:05 | |
and showing them to you guys. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
My Wannabe Wizard this time is | 0:15:08 | 0:15:09 | |
Phillip from Shrewsbury | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
and he's a magician | 0:15:11 | 0:15:12 | |
with plenty of bottle. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
Now, I've got a trick here, and I've got | 0:15:14 | 0:15:18 | |
a tube and a bottle in the tube. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
Could you just take the tube up and show your bottle? | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
Two balsamic vinegar bottles. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
OK, just put the bottle in your left hand, please. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
And then take the empty tube and put it on top of the bottle. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:38 | |
OK. Now, all you have to do is do as I do. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
So, we'll turn it once, | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
twice, third time, | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
and you should end up in the same place, like... | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
Mum's is upside down! | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
-You did turn it round as many times as I did? -Yes. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
She definitely did. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
Can you just turn it so it's the right way up? | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
OK, this time let's spell out magic. Hold it this way up. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
Both the same way up. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
M...A...G... | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
I...C. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:08 | |
And you should end up like... | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
How did that happen?! | 0:16:11 | 0:16:12 | |
I... You've got to... I'll turn mine so it's like yours. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
So we do it like this. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
Let's turn it four times. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
Once, twice, third and fourth time, | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
and you should end up like this because you did... | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
Third time unlucky. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
He's pretending - he knows it's magic. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
You end up like this, but you're meant to end up like this. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
The pleasure is all ours, sir. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:41 | |
Here's magician Fergus looking smart, | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
as he's about to visit an academy. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
He's got his pen ready, but he won't need it | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
as the next trip is all about music. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
That's it now, he's ready for his next ROLL. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
And the kids are ready to roll - out of the school gates | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
and onto the bus, ready for a day out with a difference. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
And this difference may not be MINOR, | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
as it's going to be magic. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
The only thing that the kids know is they're off to | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
the Royal Academy of Music. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
Founded in 1822, it trains 700 students a year. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
Its museum includes ancient instruments and original | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
manuscripts from composers like Purcell, Schubert and Mendelssohn. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:25 | |
And it's time to compose a new look for our magicians | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
to keep them undercover. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
Eccentric for Fergus, strict for Katherine. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
Not far away from their real personalities. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
Also not far away is the bus. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
Hope our magicians are ready for the performance of their lives. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
I've never been any good at music, I'm still no good at music | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
so I can only hope today will go OK. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
I think everything will be fine as long as everyone | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
does as they're told. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:50 | |
Wow, Katherine's not going to have trouble keeping the class in check. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:54 | |
And here they are now - ready to check out the auditorium | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
and soak up the atmosphere. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
Fergus had Mozart on his mind, but it's time for magic. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
The kids are looking at the orchestra pit, | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
but the best bit is coming up, and they won't know what's hit them. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
Some last-minute fine-tuning in our magic room, | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
and it's time for the class to take their front-row seats. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
-Good morning, boys and girls. ALL: -Good morning. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
My name is Ronald Key, but you can call me Ron. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
Ron Key? Has Fergus started on a bum note? | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
And I'm in charge of the historical items, so everything that you see | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
that looks a bit old, like me, I look after those things. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
Now, we have loads of old musical manuscripts, like this, | 0:18:35 | 0:18:39 | |
from composers such as Liszt to Schubert. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
Could have been a longer List, then. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
And these are ancient pieces of music that are irreplaceable. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
So, what sort of things do you think we have to protect these | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
musical manuscripts from? Anybody? | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
Er, being sampled by Rudimental? | 0:18:55 | 0:18:56 | |
-Have a guess, yes? -Don't rip the paper. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
Don't rip the paper. Tearing. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
Aha! A more sensible answer. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
-Yes? -Don't bite the paper. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
-Don't bite the paper. -Unless you're a dog | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
whose Johann Sebastian BACH'S worse than his bite. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
I do that a lot, I get told off for that. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
Yes? At the very back. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
-From water. -From water. Excellent. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
Now, water is actually the biggest problem - it's the damp. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
So what we've developed here at the Academy | 0:19:19 | 0:19:24 | |
is an anti-damp solution. An anti-damp solution. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
And I think you'll all agree after you've seen this, | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
it is quite incredible. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
This is going to be more magic than you can handle. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
HANDEL - the composer! | 0:19:35 | 0:19:36 | |
So, here is some of Handel's sheet music. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:41 | |
And you'll see now what we're going to do | 0:19:41 | 0:19:45 | |
is see what happens when this music | 0:19:45 | 0:19:49 | |
gets wet after it's been treated with the Academy's anti-damp solution. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:54 | |
Handel wrote Water Music, so only natural for Fergus to use that. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
So, what's going to happen now if I pour this water into the sheets? | 0:19:57 | 0:20:02 | |
-Would it ruin the sheets? ALL: -Yes! | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
It would completely ruin the sheets, and these are irreplaceable. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
Hope he knows what he's doing. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
It's my responsibility to make sure these don't get ruined - but watch. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
H2O, my gosh! | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
-CHILDREN MURMUR -What are you doing? | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
They can't believe it. This magic's anything but drippy. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
Now, if you watch, it will almost look like | 0:20:25 | 0:20:30 | |
the sheets have absorbed the, er... Absorbed the water, right? | 0:20:30 | 0:20:35 | |
But in actual fact, | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
all that's happened is that water has been dispersed. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
I can't believe the sheet music is bone dry. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
It's been dispersed in the paper. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
But where? Moved off to the second movement?! | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
So, when you want that water to come back again, if you watch, | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
we need to remove that water, otherwise it will ruin the sheets. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 | |
Get ready to drink this in. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
ALL GASP | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
Poor class - they don't know what's hit them. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
That's amazing! Water, with a big hint of magic. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
How incredible is that? | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
And these are the things that protect all of our musical sheets. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
Spontaneous applause and it's music to his ears, | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
but they have no idea our maestro is magic. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
Looking like a broody Beethoven, he was "hoven" a laugh | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
with his water music magic. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
He poured over the musical notes, | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
the water went in, but they didn't get wet. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
Then the water came out - but not his secret yet. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
The class are thirsty for more thrills and spills... | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
-TUBA PARPS -..but what's that noise? | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
Hope Katherine hasn't blown it. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:39 | |
Now it's time for John to reveal the secret in Tricks Of The Trade. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
John will show you how to stop James | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
standing up by simply using one finger. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
Have you worked it out yet? | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
Don't put your finger in his ear, John - urgh! | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
Now, it won't work by simply putting it on his shoulder. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
However, if you put your finger here right in the middle | 0:22:00 | 0:22:04 | |
of the forehead, without using any real pressure, | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
James, or indeed anyone else, wont be able to stand up. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
Your friends will be upstanding for an outstanding trick. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
That is, of course, if you don't put the finger on their forehead. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
It's time for another movement at the Academy of Music. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
So far this school trip has been anything but dry, | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
and the pupils don't realise it's magic. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
But there will be something funny about Katherine's symphony. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
Good afternoon, class. My name is Claire Annette Reed. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:40 | |
Claire Annette Reed? Sounds like "clarinet reed," | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
for which, read: Katherine's little joke. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
And I'm a symphony conductor. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
She's about to conduct some musical magic. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
Although recently I've been travelling around the country | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
working with a lot of brass bands. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:54 | |
Can anyone tell me an instrument | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
that is a brass instrument? Any ideas? | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
A trombone. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:01 | |
Excellent. Any other brass instrument? Yes. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
-Piano? -Not a piano. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:05 | |
I'll tell you what you have to have to have a brass instrument. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
First of all, it has to be made from brass, | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
and secondly, we make the sound with the instrument | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
using the vibration of our mouth. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
Ron, could you just demonstrate that for us, please? | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
HE BLOWS A RASPBERRY CHILDREN LAUGH | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
That's Fergus' level, right there. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
In fact, I'd like us all to have a go at that, please. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
-They can't wait to get involved. -Purse your lips together and blow. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
ALL BLOW | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
OK, enough now, thank you. That's very good. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
Passing wind has never sounded so tuneful. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
Now, behind me we have our music cabinet which | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
we keep some of our brass instruments in. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:42 | |
-They're coming right up. -HE SINGS A FANFARE | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
We've got some of the instruments which were mentioned. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
Ron, would you mind just passing one of those out for me? | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
Thank you. Can anyone tell me what this is? | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
It's called a bugle, this one. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
I love a toasted bugle - bagel! | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
And Ron, could you pass me out another one, please? | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
That's a mini trumpet! | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
What is this one? Very good, it's a pocket trumpet. Excellent. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
-So this is our pocket trumpet. -Have to have a big pocket, though. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
And this is a beautiful one. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
Can anyone tell me what this one is called? Yes. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:19 | |
-A French horn. -A French horn, excellent. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
I love a cream horn, myself. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:22 | |
French horn. And then, finally, this is my favourite. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:27 | |
I love this, it's called the tuba. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:28 | |
It's very heavy, the tuba, so we'll leave that in there. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:33 | |
Too bad she couldn't get the tuba out, that's a real BLOW! | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
Ah, well. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
..the doors back up again. That's brilliant. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
Now, can anyone else tell me, if we've got a brass band, | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
what else do we need to make it all work and come together? Yes. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
There's an old expression - where there's muck, there's brass | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
but where there's brass, is there magic? | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
What we also need, we need musicians to play the instruments, | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
which is very important. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
And can anyone tell me what else we might need in a band? | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
-Conductor. -A conductor, excellent. That's my job. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
I conduct all the brass band together | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
so we can make some fantastic music with the... | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
TUBA PARPS | 0:25:07 | 0:25:08 | |
That was my rumbling stomach. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:09 | |
Nope - definitely not me. I saw them jump in the room. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
Did you hear that? | 0:25:12 | 0:25:14 | |
TUBA PARPS | 0:25:14 | 0:25:15 | |
That sounds like a tuba player. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
It's coming from inside the cabinet, but it was empty! | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
HE PLAYS A TUNE | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
I know this tune, but where do I recognise it from? | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
It's our theme tune - and now my earworm. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:31 | |
Wow! | 0:25:31 | 0:25:32 | |
-APPLAUSE -That was amazing. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
It was amazing! Where did he come from? | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
Other than the Academy, of course, where he's a talented student. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:41 | |
But I have confession, everyone. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
This is a real tuba player, but I'm not really a conductor. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
In fact, I'm not even a semi-conductor. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
John lent her that one. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:51 | |
My name's not Mrs Reed, it's Katherine. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
And I'm actually called Fergus. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:56 | |
It's all building to a crescendo... | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
And you've all been set up by your teachers and your parents. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
-I knew it! -And you're being filmed right now. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:04 | |
There's a camera over there, there's a camera over there and over there. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:08 | |
You're going to be on CBBC's Help! My School Trip is Magic. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
CHEERING | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
A well-orchestrated trick by Katherine and Fergus, | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
with plenty of oompah, oomph. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:21 | |
But how did the class chart its success? | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
It was really, like, weird. It was really, like, impossible. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:30 | |
Nothing's impossible when Katherine's involved. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
She presented instruments from inside this otherwise empty cabinet. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:38 | |
There was nothing in there, cos they opened the box | 0:26:38 | 0:26:40 | |
and there was nothing behind. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:42 | |
It looked normal but sounded strange. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
-TUBA PARPS -Music with the... | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
He wasn't there, and then just like teleported in there somehow | 0:26:48 | 0:26:52 | |
and started playing! | 0:26:52 | 0:26:54 | |
An academy student suddenly appeared playing the tuba. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:58 | |
They all just started shaking and we were like, | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
"How did he do that? How did he do that?" | 0:27:00 | 0:27:03 | |
I want to know too, mate, but Katherine will not tell me. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:06 | |
All I do know is this school trip featured a catchy trick. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
That's nothing. I can play the tuba. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
TUBA toothpaste! | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
FALLING SLIDE NOTE | 0:27:26 | 0:27:27 | |
See you later, but till then, if you're on a school trip | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
and you think something magic's going on, | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
maybe you'll find yourself shouting "Help! My school trip is magic!" | 0:27:33 | 0:27:38 |
