0:00:02 > 0:00:03'It's term time again
0:00:03 > 0:00:07'and our four magicians have left school on a brand-new mission.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11'Do you think you'd recognise them if they were outside the classroom?'
0:00:11 > 0:00:12Do you?
0:00:14 > 0:00:17'Now's your chance cos they're going deeper undercover -
0:00:17 > 0:00:22'with new disguises, ambitious costumes and even taller tales.'
0:00:23 > 0:00:24# La, la, la, la-a-a-a-ah! #
0:00:26 > 0:00:29'This time, we're taking unsuspecting kids out of school,
0:00:29 > 0:00:34'piling them on coaches, and sending them on school trips.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36'They're off to visit some amazing locations,
0:00:36 > 0:00:39'where they'll witness incredible magic.'
0:00:39 > 0:00:41I was like... "Oh, my gosh!"
0:00:41 > 0:00:44'And once again, we're hiding secret cameras in every corner,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47'so you don't miss a trick on any school trip.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50'The magic is bigger than ever.'
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Wow!
0:00:51 > 0:00:53'It might be term time, but school's out.'
0:00:53 > 0:00:55I can't believe our teachers did that.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58'How long will it take before the classes shout...?'
0:01:02 > 0:01:04CHILDREN SCREAM
0:01:04 > 0:01:09Hello, it's me, Iain, and welcome to Help! My School Trip Is Magic.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Our magicians are no longer supply teachers.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16They are now masquerading as staff in some popular attractions.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21And because we know you know them, we've disguised them even more.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25We've secretly filmed the results with special hidden cameras.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28We take a visit to an opera house today,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31where they specialise in classical ballet and opera.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33OPERA MUSIC PLAYS
0:01:33 > 0:01:35You can't beat opera for that... wonderful music.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39It can reach inside you and caress your soul.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42It calms you, lifts away your troubles
0:01:42 > 0:01:46and takes you to a land of peace and tranquillity.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Will you turn that off?! - NEEDLE SCRATCHES
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I'm trying to tell the viewers about peaceful music!
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Here's what's coming up on today's show.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00'Katherine's summoned some musical magic
0:02:00 > 0:02:03'that will have you - and her - off your seats.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06'James produces a floater you'll be happy to copy
0:02:06 > 0:02:08'in Tricks Of The Trade.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11'You've been sending in clips of all your best magic tricks
0:02:11 > 0:02:13'and, later on, I'll be picking my favourite.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15'It's the Wannabe Wizards.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18'And John and Fergus are Victorian gents
0:02:18 > 0:02:20'with a curious cure for hiccups.'
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Boo! Ha-hah!
0:02:21 > 0:02:24'Let's hope there's no HICCUPS with the magic.'
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Do you think you would be able to tell if your school trip was magic?
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Do ya?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33'This is Katherine, she's an ace magician,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36'and she's in the frame for this next school trip.'
0:02:39 > 0:02:41This is Year Five getting on the coach.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44They've been set up by their teachers and their parents.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47They've been on plenty of normal school trips before,
0:02:47 > 0:02:48but never a magical one.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50They've no idea.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53The only thing they do know
0:02:53 > 0:02:55is they're off to the Royal Opera House.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Many classics have been performed here like Swan Lake, Figaro,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01and The Nutcracker.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04This school trip is blissfully unaware
0:03:04 > 0:03:07they're in for some cracking magic by our very own prima magician.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Since the Opera House is also home to the Royal Ballet
0:03:12 > 0:03:16and Katherine loves to dance, she's turned up in her tutu.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I thought I'd make an extra-special effort today,
0:03:18 > 0:03:22so I'm wearing sequins but also a tutu because we're at the ballet.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Katherine's got TUTU excited.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Nobody told her she's overdressed for this trick.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31She better get backstage
0:03:31 > 0:03:34because the kids are about to make their big entrance.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43That's better - less flashy, less obvious, Katherine.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47The trip is learning about dancing and singing,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49while Katherine is preparing for the magic she'll be bringing.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Lights, hidden camera, action!
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Here come the class now.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57First positions, please.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01FRENCH ACCENT: Hello, boys and girls.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- ALL:- Hello! Hello.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05That sounds suspiciously like a French accent!
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Her ballet disguise is tres chic.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13I work here, so welcome to the Opera House, home of the Royal Ballet.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18Now, does anyone know what you call a dancer that dances in the ballet?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Careful, a trick question with a trick accent.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21- Yes.- Ballerina?
0:04:21 > 0:04:22It's close.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25A lot of people think this, that it's called a ballerina,
0:04:25 > 0:04:27but not the case.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32When a dancer dances in the ballet, she is called a ballet dancer
0:04:32 > 0:04:34or a ballet student.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36You only get the name ballerina
0:04:36 > 0:04:38if you are the most exceptional female soloist.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41That's true, even if Katherine's accent is fake!
0:04:41 > 0:04:45And if you are the best ballerina, then you get to be called
0:04:45 > 0:04:48prima ballerina, which is the absolute elite.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51But you know, it's not only the ballet dancers
0:04:51 > 0:04:53that make the ballet so magnificent.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57What else do you think it could be that makes it so beautiful to watch?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Any ideas?
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Yes.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01The costume.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Excellent. Yes, they have the most beautiful costumes, don't they?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- Very romantic. Yes.- The music.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08The music, absolutely.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10One of my favourite things is the music
0:05:10 > 0:05:13and I love listening to the classical ballet music.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16She's lying. She normally likes fat hip-hop beats.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20For me, it makes me feel like I can float and I just love it.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21I adore it.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Here's where the facts end and the fantasy begins.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27So we're going to do an exercise now where you all stay seated.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29A magic exercise, that is.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I want you to close your eyes and listen to the music
0:05:32 > 0:05:33that's going to be played
0:05:33 > 0:05:37and imagine that you are floating through the countryside.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39The magic's coming up, quite literally.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Relax, close your eyes. Perfect.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46They totally believe her - they've all got their eyes shut.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48But will they be able to keep them closed when the magic begins?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Can we have some music, please?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Music, maestro.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS - Magic, maestro.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Listen to the soaring melody and how it lifts your spirit.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04And it's beginning to lift Katherine. Will anyone notice?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06He's sneaking a peek.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Katherine's derriere is in the air!
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Someone else has noticed - the word is spreading through the class.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21More eyes are opening and they can't believe what they're seeing.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I'd say Katherine's at least 60cm off that stool.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27This magic is certainly going UP in my estimations.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31The whole class have not only got their eyes open,
0:06:31 > 0:06:34but they can't take them off Katherine!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37This school trip is way up there with the best
0:06:37 > 0:06:40and it's going to get better and better.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44They can't work it out. She's in midair and seemingly unaware.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48They must know it's magic,
0:06:48 > 0:06:52but they haven't worked out who their mysterious ballet teacher is.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Katherine's floating back to earth and the class's jaws are dropping.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00You don't see Darcey Bussell doing this on Strictly now, do you?
0:07:00 > 0:07:04I don't know about them, but I can't see how she's done that
0:07:04 > 0:07:07and I know magic, well, I know some magicians.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Wasn't that lovely?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Understatement of the century!
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I just adore that song, it's so beautiful.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Some beautiful magic there, too.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Katherine told them how music can lift your mood.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23She didn't tell them it could physically lift you, too.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26They had been asked to keep their eyes closed and imagine.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28They couldn't resist opening them,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30but still wondered if they'd imagined the whole thing.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32The class could see underneath Katherine,
0:07:32 > 0:07:35but they still haven't seen through her story.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37And you know, I help that get me up every morning.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40That music certainly does help Katherine GET UP.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43And there's more magic coming up, you ain't seen nothing yet.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46It's a magical pirouette.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Now, James is going to set you a magical challenge
0:07:48 > 0:07:50in Tricks of the Trade.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52If you fancy yourself as a magician,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54here's a trick you can try on your mates.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58James is going to show you how to make a paper clip like this...
0:07:58 > 0:08:01float in a glass of water like this.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Can you work out how to do it?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Keep watching and you'll find out how to do this metal magic
0:08:08 > 0:08:10later in the show.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Let's rejoin our school trip to the Opera House.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Katherine's been teaching the class about the ballet.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24I hope our twinkle-toed magician doesn't slip up
0:08:24 > 0:08:26before her big finish!
0:08:26 > 0:08:30When I was a little girl, I used to pretend I was a ballerina.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Ironically, Katherine is still pretending to be a ballerina.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36But they haven't realised she's not what she seems.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I used to dream about it all the time
0:08:38 > 0:08:41and I used to spend hour after hour dancing in my room,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44pretending that I was a prima ballerina.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49So much so, that my father built me my very own miniature opera house
0:08:49 > 0:08:51and this is the very one he built me.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54And I used to play with this for hours and hours.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Who's she kidding? She still does! But that box is a magic one.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02I used to play with this doll, which was my first-ever ballet doll.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Or is that a Katherine action figure?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06They certainly can't figure her out.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Er, she's a ballerina and I used to play with her
0:09:09 > 0:09:13inside the opera house, like this, and I used to imagine this was me.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17I used to make her do pirouettes and I thought she was so beautiful
0:09:17 > 0:09:19and I'd imagine that all the people would be cheering for me
0:09:19 > 0:09:23and throwing flowers on the stage and I just used to love it.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27So I want you to try and imagine now that...
0:09:27 > 0:09:30You see the ballerina in there, can you imagine that she is real?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- KIDS:- Yes. - Can you imagine? I can't hear you.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33- Could you really imagine?- YES!
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Watch that box.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38You really could. I could imagine this, too, you know.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Whoa! How did she get in there? Katherine's doll's come to life!
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Beautiful.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48She just can't believe it.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55Stupendous dancing, outstanding magic and a stunned audience.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57She's just stunning beautiful. Thank you, Megan.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02Now, she is a real ballet dancer from the Royal Ballet.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I don't know about Royal Ballet, this class is need a ba-LAY down.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Obviously, the theatre is all about acting, you know this, yes?
0:10:09 > 0:10:13They do. And for Katherine's final act, her comes our denouement.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Basically, she's going to come clean.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19I tell you a little secret. I've been acting. You know?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I don't really work here.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23NORMAL ACCENT: My name is Katherine.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25They're happy about that.
0:10:25 > 0:10:31And all of you have been set up by your teachers and your parents,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33and you're all being filmed right now.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35There's a camera over there and there's a camera over there,
0:10:35 > 0:10:38there's a camera over and you're going to be on CBBC's
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Help! My School Trip is Magic!
0:10:40 > 0:10:43THEY CHEER
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Bravo! Bravo!
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Katherine gave a well-choreographed performance
0:10:47 > 0:10:50worthy of a standing ovation.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Can one get an encore?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56For our first act, Katherine got carried away with the music
0:10:56 > 0:10:59and the class couldn't take their eyes off her.
0:10:59 > 0:11:06I actually peeked and I saw that she was she was on the chair floating.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Katherine didn't PEAK too soon because she had another trick.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13She put a dolly in a box and it became a real person.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15You know.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Not only a real person, a real dancer from the Royal Ballet.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22It was like the doll came to life and it was...
0:11:22 > 0:11:24it was astonishing,
0:11:24 > 0:11:26amazingly awesome.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30This dancing trick had all their heads spinning.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34I thought that trick was so, so amazing.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39The school trip had no idea Katherine was a magician.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42How long will it take for you to shout...
0:11:47 > 0:11:52Still to come - James will unleash the secret in Tricks of the Trade.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Have you figured it out yet?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57And Fergus and John are lords of the manor on another school trip.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Fergus tries to catch some radio waves,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03but will the magic leave the class catching flies?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Or will they realise their school trip magic?
0:12:06 > 0:12:11It's marvellous. Yes rather, what?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14But first, we asked you to send in clips of yourself
0:12:14 > 0:12:17performing your best magic tricks.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20We received loads of clips from all over the country.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Each week, I'll be choosing a favourite Wannabe Wizard
0:12:23 > 0:12:26and showing them to you guys.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30My Wannabe Wizard this time is Eleanor from Kinross.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Hi, guys. My trick is I'm going to do today is magic rings.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35My favourite.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37First, I need my assistant, white rabbit.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40And, as you know, white rabbits come out of hats.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41So I've got my magic hat here.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43No rabbit in there.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45It's empty. I've got my magic wand.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Vital for a magician.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48One, two, three.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Then, white rabbit comes out.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Whoa! You'd never catch me with a puppet.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59I need you to get these three rings and a rope, OK?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02So I've got one, two, three
0:13:02 > 0:13:04and your rope here.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Right, as you can see, it's a normal rope.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Nothing wrong with it.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10That's a normal-looking piece of rope.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13And the rings are normal, too, OK?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15We're with you.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20So I'll thread this first ring on to the rope like this
0:13:20 > 0:13:22and twist it up.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Then I take my other two rings
0:13:25 > 0:13:27and bend them over. As you can see,
0:13:27 > 0:13:29they don't get past this ring here.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Those rings are going nowhere.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34So, I'm going to have a go at trying to pull these rings off
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Not possible.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38One, two, three.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39What?!
0:13:39 > 0:13:41And all three rings come off the rope.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Let's get a rewind.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48One, two, three.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Those rings came right off!
0:13:50 > 0:13:53That tricky rope was dope, Eleanor.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56This is Fergus,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58he's one of our strongest magicians.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Here's John muscling in
0:14:00 > 0:14:02on the action as usual.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07The dynamic duo are about to flex their skills in a new school trip.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09This is Year 5 clambering on the coach.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12They've been set up by their sneaky parents and cheeky teachers,
0:14:12 > 0:14:16like Mr Girton here, who's going to be a...glamorous assistant?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18In the next magic trip.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21The class think they're going on a regular school outing,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23but it's a trip of a lifetime.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25They're on their way to the Geffrye Museum to
0:14:25 > 0:14:29learn about the history of the home over the last 400 years,
0:14:29 > 0:14:31nearly as long as John's been a magician.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Here he is now.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Don't sit down too long, mate, you'll become an exhibit.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41John and Fergus need to get made-up in case the kids get on their case.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Because the museum features a Victorian sitting room,
0:14:46 > 0:14:50John thought he'd get into character and sit around.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53He is doing his research.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Let's home that John gets the tricks the right way round.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59The class are about to have their school trip
0:14:59 > 0:15:03turned on its head, but they have no idea what story John's invented.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06For this particular presentation, we're looking at inventions
0:15:06 > 0:15:10and cures of the Victorian age, so I'm going to have a cure for hiccups,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13which is ridiculous cos I can't remember the last time I had hiccups.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14Hic!
0:15:14 > 0:15:16It better all go without a hiccup,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18as the kids have arrived with Mr Girton.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22John and Fergus are fully undercover,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25acting as Victorian gents would do.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27But it's nearly time for the magic to happen.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29John's wound up and ready to go.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Come on Fergus, mate, the clock is ticking.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36But wait, seriously, it is.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43The kids are now inside the museum, looking at the historical homes.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Fergus made it there OK, they're both in situ.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50The cameras are set and John and Fergus
0:15:50 > 0:15:53look like they're on the set of Downton Abbey.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Here come the class, stepping back in time
0:15:56 > 0:15:59and about to have the magical time of their lives.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Now, the Victorians, as you know, or may not know
0:16:03 > 0:16:05but you're going to know once I've told you...
0:16:05 > 0:16:07The Victorians, they used to love lots
0:16:07 > 0:16:11and lots of strange things, they were strange people the Victorians.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13They used to like strange inventions and all sorts of things
0:16:13 > 0:16:16and experimentation and invention.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20And also cures. They were mad about cures, strange cures,
0:16:20 > 0:16:21weird cures for illnesses.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23They used to have a thing called pasting.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26He's very amused by John's pasting patter
0:16:26 > 0:16:28and the magic's not even started yet.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30What they used to do is have an infected area,
0:16:30 > 0:16:34let's pretend it was...it was Thomas' arm here, it was infected.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36What they would do is they would make a paste,
0:16:36 > 0:16:40they would make a paste, it could be herbs and spices...and cow manure!
0:16:40 > 0:16:41- KIDS:- Ew!
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Mentioning poo always gets a great reaction.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45And then they'd rub it on the infected wound
0:16:45 > 0:16:47and they would think that would heal it.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Of course, it didn't do anything. In fact, it probably made it worse.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54But another thing...another cure they had, I'd like to show you now,
0:16:54 > 0:16:55was a cure for hiccups.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Now, how many people have had hiccups?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Yes, you've all had hiccups. It's terrible!
0:16:59 > 0:17:01You're sat there, trying to have a conver... Hic!
0:17:01 > 0:17:03..and you're doing... Hic!
0:17:03 > 0:17:05It's absolutely ridiculous, Thomas.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08And they had cures for it, and this is a very good...
0:17:08 > 0:17:10This is what we call a hiccup frame.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Some magic coming up will stop wind coming up.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15The hiccup frame would cure hiccups.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18I'm going to try and demonstrate the hiccup frame with you.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19I need one of your teachers to help me.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Have I got a teacher who can volunteer?
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Yes, you, sir, come on out. Yes. Jolly good.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- Yes, give him round of applause. - Boys and girls, come on!
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Their teacher's about to star in a magic trick.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Let's hope he's got his best shirt on.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Oh, dear.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Mr Girton, wonderful. Mr Girton, would you just stand here, please?
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Wonderful. Now, the way the hiccup device worked was it uses two things.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41It used some ropes, two ropes like these,
0:17:41 > 0:17:45and it used a silk handkerchief like this. Now...
0:17:45 > 0:17:48It's actually three things, the third being magic.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51What you would do is you would get your silk handkerchief
0:17:51 > 0:17:55and you would tie it around the ropes, like so.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58So we would tie the two ropes together.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Mr Girton, can we hear your very best hiccup?- Hic!
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Do you think it should be louder? A bit louder,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- a bit louder, Mr Girton.- Hic! - Very good.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08No, no, no, your hiccups have got to be lots worse than that.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Really hiccup!- Hic! Hic!
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Hic!- Very good. Is that enough, boys and girls?
0:18:13 > 0:18:14- KIDS:- Yeah! - Wonderful.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Great hiccup acting from Mr Girton there. Shame about the shirt.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21And raise your arms. That's it. Close the curtains, Mr Girtons.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22He hasn't heard that one before(!)
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Now, we'll just wrap...
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Ha! I see what you did there.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Fergus and John are now wrapping the silk and string around
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- Mr Girton.- Tie the handkerchief around his middle like this.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33- Excellent.- Now...
0:18:33 > 0:18:35We then take one of the ropes
0:18:35 > 0:18:38and pass one of the ropes around the body, like this.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41You can take that one and I'll take this one.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Now, what we're going to do is pass these ropes in a moment
0:18:44 > 0:18:48through this little hole in the side of the hiccupping frame.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49Wonderful. Now, Mr Girton,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52if you could just step back into the frame, please.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55The teacher is now tied securely into the frame.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57There's no way he can get out.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- Can you keep hiccupping, Mr Girton? - Hic!- Wonderful, that's it.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Keep hiccupping. In the olden days, they had lots of cures for hiccups.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Don't overplay your part, sir.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07That sounded like a frog, Mr Girton, not quite as soft.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09That's better, thank you.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Now, they used to drop a cold key down the back,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14or they used to... They'd make you stand on your head
0:19:14 > 0:19:16and drink a glass of water. We won't make you do that.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Another thing that they used to do is this.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20BOO! Ha-ha!
0:19:20 > 0:19:23That surprised her, but the big shocker is still coming up.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25To get rid of the hiccups with this device,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28what we do is pull on the ropes. And the idea is that the ropes would
0:19:28 > 0:19:32pass cleanly through the body, the silk handkerchief would
0:19:32 > 0:19:35stay in place protecting the body, the ropes would pass cleanly through
0:19:35 > 0:19:38the body, eliminating the hiccups and making him cured for life.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Watch carefully, the teacher's tied inside that frame.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I'd like you to step forward on the count of three. Are you ready?
0:19:44 > 0:19:48One, two, three...
0:19:48 > 0:19:50He's completely free!
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Whoa! He's melted right through the rope!
0:19:52 > 0:19:55And the ropes have passed completely through his body.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56Thank you very much.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00The rope's still in one piece and she's nearly in bits.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03He's usually tied up marking papers,
0:20:03 > 0:20:07but Mr Girton got literally tied into this wooden frame.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10With Fergus and John's help, he melted through that rope.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12And some of the class couldn't cope.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16The teacher stepped through and now the magic's going to step up.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Fergus catches radio waves,
0:20:18 > 0:20:21but will he have the class doing a Mexican wave?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Now it's time for James to reveal the secret in Tricks of the Trade.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32James will show you how to make a paperclip float in a glass of water.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Have you worked it out yet?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Do you just drop it in and hope for the best?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Didn't work earlier.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42How about clipping it on the edge of the class?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Oh, that's not floating, is it?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Here's the secret.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Get another paper clip,
0:20:47 > 0:20:51then bend the middle part of that paperclip into an L shape like this.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Balance the other clip on top
0:20:55 > 0:20:58and slowly put the whole thing into the water.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Easy does it, captain.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Now, carefully remove the L-shaped paper clip
0:21:04 > 0:21:07and the other one will be left floating on top of the water.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13You might want to use that paperclip to file the trick under Awesome.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Back to the Museum Of The Home,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20where our magicians are dressed as Victorian gents,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22but they're lying to this school trip.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24That's not very gentlemanly, is it?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Fergus is about to talk inventions,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28but he's being inventive with the truth.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30One of the other things that the Victorians were
0:21:30 > 0:21:33fascinated by was invention.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37And this joy of invention led to the invention of the radio.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- Oh, yes. - Popularised by a man named Marconi.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Marconi. I love a little bit of MACARONI, don't you?
0:21:43 > 0:21:47She clearly doesn't like macaroni... or maybe it's John's jokes.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Over here, we have some early antique radios.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Now, Timothy, I believe this is your favourite, isn't it?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54This is my favourite.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56This is not from the Victorian era, this is from the 1920s.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01The Edison 423 - a beautiful radio, dual dial, dual dial system.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Rather primitive, and made from?
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Made from mahogany, pure mahogany.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Mahogany? Well, I wouldn't believe that.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09And all this here, though, rather primitive, wouldn't you say?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11What we've got over here is something a bit more trendy.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15It's a 1982 model. Only 15, 15 of these made in the country.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Have a look at home, see if you've got one of these.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19It's worth an absolute fortune, bucket loads!
0:22:19 > 0:22:21The only thing it's really worth is watching,
0:22:21 > 0:22:23as it's going to be a great trick.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26This is the Phoenix, the Phoenix 127, and it's...
0:22:26 > 0:22:27- Does it still work?- It still works.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30You can still turn it on. Unfortunately, you can't tune it in.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31It hasn't got an aerial.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34But the Phoenix was a very popular model. In fact, when
0:22:34 > 0:22:38the Phoenix was in the shops, they absolutely flew off the shelves.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Now, I'm just going to cover this up.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43It may have flown off the shelves, but will this trick hit the heights?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46What Timothy's going to do is raise that radio into the air,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48and what's the going to do...
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Because, Timothy, would you believe that in Victorian times,
0:22:51 > 0:22:55not everybody could afford a radio? Not everyone could afford a radio.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57- Wasn't that a shame?- That's correct.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00So what they did, those crafty, sneaky little Victorians,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03is they made use of a radio wave catcher, which we have here.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05That looks suspiciously like a fishbowl.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Now, what Timothy's done is he's sent radio waves
0:23:08 > 0:23:09flying round the room.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12You may feel one pass your ear, you may even hear a little one.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14If you do hear a hint of a radio wave,
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I'd like you to raise your hand in the air.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19You'll feel them coming past you, you will feel it at some point.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Raise your hand in the air or you could get a little wave.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Can anyone feel a radio wave yet? - KIDS: No.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Oh, dear. Right, well, anyway, I shall collect the radio waves
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- that I can see in the radio wave... - Away you go.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32There's a low note under there.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Some above the head, just above the heads there.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- Just above the heads.- I'll find it. - Wonderful, yes.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38What about just behind your ear?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41There's a big radio wave here, Timothy.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Round we go. Fantastic.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Fergus is pretty handy with that bowl, and he's hoping
0:23:46 > 0:23:48the class will be bowled over with the magic any minute.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Brilliant. Fantastic. Now, if we bring these back...
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Don't let them escape! Oh, very good.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Very good.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Fergus has caught the radio waves and he's holding them in
0:23:57 > 0:24:01with that book, and the class are not on his magical wavelength yet.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04All we need do is leave a moment for those radio waves to settle.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Once those radio waves have settled, something quite remarkable
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- will happen.- Yes. - Are you ready, boys and girls?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15- KIDS: Yes. - You won't believe your ears.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19POP MUSIC
0:24:19 > 0:24:21There they are!
0:24:22 > 0:24:23There we go.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Wow, that Victorian pop music sounds very modern.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- Remarkable!- Incredible!- Remarkable!
0:24:29 > 0:24:30They're clapping, but there's more.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34It depends how many radio waves you could collect on one trip,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36and only a true expert of the radio wave collector
0:24:36 > 0:24:38would know exactly how many. I have a rough idea,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41so let's see if we have anymore.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42Oh, I like that.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44I'm rocking the Katy Perry, I might do a little bit of a wiggle.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Please don't, John, I've just eaten.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Katy Perry in Victorian times?
0:24:48 > 0:24:49It looks like he's enjoying it.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- ..as well as you Timothy?- Why not?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54The magic's working, John's twerking.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55I think we should try that one more time.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57- Do you agree, boys and girls?- Yes.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58One more time.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01How's he doing that?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03The book is catching those sound waves,
0:25:03 > 0:25:05but the magic's about to turn up to volume 11.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Timothy, those radio waves seem to be confuddling themselves.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10They are confuddled.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13I think this radio's a little confuddled as well, look.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15No, Timothy!
0:25:15 > 0:25:19- It's gone.- Marvellous!- Yes.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Wow, that's incredible, the radio's disappeared. They can't believe it!
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Now, boys and girls.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Quieted down, nice and quietly.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30We do actually have a slight confession here for you today.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33I enjoyed that radio show and now its time for our undercover
0:25:33 > 0:25:35magicians to show and tell their big secret.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38We don't actually work here, believe it or not.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42And we are magicians.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43- My name is Fergus.- My name is John.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48And you have all been set up by your schools, your teachers and
0:25:48 > 0:25:51your parents, and there's a hidden camera there, there's a hidden
0:25:51 > 0:25:53camera there, a camera there, camera there...
0:25:53 > 0:25:55And you're all going to be on CBBC's
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Help! My School Trip is Magic!
0:25:58 > 0:26:03THEY CHEER
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Those reactions were off the hook. Air turntable
0:26:13 > 0:26:15and John's dancing, I've seen it all.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18But what did our wannabee DJ's think of it?
0:26:18 > 0:26:22I can't explain it, it's...it was just too cool.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24We'll just wrap...
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Well, let me help you explain.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29First, there's a magical frame for curing hiccups.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32One, two, three...
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- Marvellous! - There he is, completely free!
0:26:35 > 0:26:36Step to the side.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40It was a bit freaky, I didn't understand, cos he was tied up,
0:26:40 > 0:26:44but how did it go away?
0:26:44 > 0:26:48John revealed a radio, then there was some interference from Fergus.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Timothy, those radio waves seem to be confuddling themselves.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52They are confuddled.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56I think this radio's a little bit confuddled as well. Look!
0:26:56 > 0:26:58No, Timothy!
0:26:58 > 0:27:01It was really cool when the radio disappeared,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04cos everyone was like, "Where's the radio gone?"
0:27:04 > 0:27:07It might have gone, but it left a lasting impression on the class.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10It was the best day of my life.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12They never suspected a thing,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14but this Downton trick left everyone happy.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25If your radio vanishes, here's a little tip.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Turn it on, you'll be able to hear it and find out where it is.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30What?
0:27:30 > 0:27:33How do you turn it on if you don't know where it is?
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Details. Anyway, see you later.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Until then, if you're on a school trip and you think something
0:27:39 > 0:27:42magic's going on, maybe you'll find yourself shouting,
0:27:42 > 0:27:45"Help! My School Trip is Magic!"
