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 | 0:00:10 | |
if they were outside the classroom? | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
Do you? | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
Now's your chance, cos they're going deeper undercover | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
with new disguises, ambitious costumes and even taller tales. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:23 | |
# La la la la la! # | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
This time, we're taking unsuspecting kids out of school, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
piling them on coaches and sending them on school trips. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
They're off to visit some amazing locations | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
where they'll witness incredible magic. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
I was like, "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 | 0:00:48 | |
-The magic is bigger than ever. -Wow! | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
It might be term time, but school's out. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
I can't believe our teachers did that. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
How long will it take before the classes shout...? | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
Hello. It's me, Iain, and welcome to Help! My School Trip is Magic. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
Our magicians are no longer supply teachers. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
They're now masquerading as staff in some popular attractions. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
And because we know you know them, we've disguised them even more. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:21 | |
We've secretly filmed the results with special hidden cameras. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
Today, we have an exciting trip to an athletics stadium planned. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
I'm actually quite active myself. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
I actively avoid exercise. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
Which is why I've invented this - | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
it's the jogging inducer. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
Oh! Cake! | 0:01:42 | 0:01:43 | |
Here's what's coming up. Cake! | 0:01:45 | 0:01:46 | |
Fergus's athletic magic stretches the imagination | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
and turns heads at the track. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:55 | |
Give it a twist all the way round like that. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
James shows you brilliant skills with a coin and a card | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
in Tricks of the Trade. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
You've been sending in clips of all your best magic tricks, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
and later on I will be picking my favourite. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
It's the Wannabe Wizards. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
And John is about to blow some minds with spooky magic | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
as the head curator at this attraction. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
Or should I say the shrunken head curator? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
CHILDREN SCREAM | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
Cake, come here! Oh. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
Do you think you'd be able to tell if your school trip was magic? | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
Do you? | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
Cake! | 0:02:29 | 0:02:30 | |
This is John and Fergus, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
great magicians and bessie mates. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
What's that? | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
Ah, John's got Fergus a new pack of cards... | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
and a dice... | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
and a pen. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
A lolly! Fergus likes those. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
A crayon. How did that stuff get in there? | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
Oh, there's more, a ball, always handy. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
What else is in there? | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
Are you keeping notes of all this? | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
That was always on the cards. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
-FERGUS MOUTHS: Wow! -Wow, indeed! | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
But wait till you see the school trip. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
Here are year four and five getting on the coach. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
They've been set up by their teachers and their parents. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
They think they're going on a regular school trip, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
but it's going to be magic. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
They're going to the Lee Valley Athletics Centre | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
to see the hi-tech sporting facilities where gold-medal winning | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
Olympians Christine Ohuruogu and Greg Rutherford trained. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
Little do they know they're about to see | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
some champion magicians achieve their personal best. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
That is after they've been disguised so the kids don't recognise them. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:46 | |
While John and Fergus get wigs affixed and make-up applied, | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
the class are on their way, blissfully unaware of what | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
lies in store - or, indeed, on the track. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
Adios! | 0:03:56 | 0:03:57 | |
John and Fergus are good sports for dressing as Team GB coaches, | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
and John is going to play Fergus' dad...cos he's no athlete! | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
I really would be proud to have Fergus as a son. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
Obviously I'm not old enough for that to happen. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
But if I was, he'd be my third choice. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
Here come the kids now. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:17 | |
I hope the magicians are all warmed up and ready to go. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
I think John's saving himself for the big event. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
They'd better make their way to the starting blocks. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
The school trip seems perfectly normal so far. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
They're excited to see the world-class track, | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
but soon they'll be wowed by a world-class trick or three. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
John and Fergus - or should I say Dad and Junior? - | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
are on their marks. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:51 | |
Here comes the class and they're ready! | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
Get set and go magic! | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
-Good morning, boys and girls. CHILDREN: -Good morning. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
Yes, and welcome here. This is the Lee Valley Athletics Centre | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
responsible for training highly efficient athletes like myself | 0:05:04 | 0:05:09 | |
and others that you may have seen on the television competing in games. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
Now, my names is Mr Wigon, you can call me Ivor, | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
that's my first name, Ivor, I let my friends call me Ivor. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
Hang on a minute, did he say his name was Ivor Wigon? | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
-This is my son, here. This is Radley. -Radley Wigon? | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
He's just training up, aren't you, Radley? | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
-QUIETLY: -That's right. -Speak up nice and loud, son. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
-SQUEAKY VOICE: -That's right, yeah. -Wonderful! | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
Fergus has squeaky voice and he's in disguise. It's squeaky bum time! | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
Get down and give me five, son! | 0:05:33 | 0:05:34 | |
Get down and give me five. Discipline. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
The girl with the pink flower doesn't know what to make of John. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
She should join the club. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:40 | |
See how he did that? Didn't even flinch. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
Well done, son, that's lovely. Now, one of the things we do | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
when we arrive here is obviously dish out the equipment. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
We've got this small equipment here we keep these in the, er, | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
sports equipment buckets. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
As NOT used by Team GB. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:52 | |
But watch that bucket carefully - it's magic. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
We keep things like the tennis balls for the tennis players, | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
we keep shuttlecocks for the shuttle cockers. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
And then the other thing, of course, is my favourite sport | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
it was my Olympic sport, I competed for 35 years in the pole vault. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
In fact, I still hold the world record, | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
I might say, for the over-20-stone category in the pole vault. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
Bet John bent that pole vault like he's bending the truth! | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
Now, I carry my pole vault in here, as well. I just keep it there. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:19 | |
Hang on a second - how did that get in there?! | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
So it's all ready for me. Beautiful piece of equipment. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
If you put all their open mouths together, you'd make the Olympic rings. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
That is Irish maple. You don't see a lot of Irish maple. Now... | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
They are loving this athletics lesson, | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
but John won't let them pause for a breather just yet. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
We also have to do what we call research and development. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
-Research and development. -Now, one my favourite sports, | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
and Radley's here, is the 4 x 100m and I've got a new little thing | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
that we've developed for the 4 x 100m. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
I'm going to show you now, I'll just get it. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
Here comes the next leg of our magical school trip. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
Now, the 4 x 100m is all about the baton passing. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
This is one we've developed. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
This is the new aerodynamic baton, | 0:07:00 | 0:07:01 | |
you can see it's slightly thinner on one end than on the other | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
so it travels through the air a lot quicker. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
In fact, we have shaved a third of a second off a lap | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
just using this new baton. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
The baton's more like a magic wand. Keep your eyes on it. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
A gold-medal-winning trick is hurtling towards the class. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
Now, we're going to demonstrate our baton changing, but it's very fast. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
It's so fast, right, you might not even see it, | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
it's like the blink of an eye. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:25 | |
So we're going to do it in slow motion, all right? | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
Even then you might not see it. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:29 | |
So we'll imagine now that I've just ran the 300m leg | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
of the 4 x 100m, and I'm coming now onto the last straight. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
We've got Radley there, he's in position. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
And just imagine in slow motion we're running like this, so here we go. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
Whoa, it's like Super Saturday at the London Games all over again! | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
John's doing this in slow-mo, | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
cos otherwise you'll never see it happen. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
Whoa! The baton threw through the air from John to Fergus. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
Let's get a rewind. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:58 | |
The speed of light, but in slow-mo - | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
I didn't even see it go. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:05 | |
The class are speechless. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
John and Fergus are milking their golden moment, but no wonder. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
Wonderfully done, I think you'll agree. Well done, son. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
Beautiful passing of the baton, there. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
The lesson's already world-beating but can they top their own record | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
with some body- and mind-stretching magic? | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
We go all the way down and all the way up. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:32 | |
Now James is going to set you a magical challenge | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
in Tricks of the Trade. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
If you fancy yourself as a magician, | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
here's a trick you can try on your mates. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
First, you need to balance a playing card on top of your index finger. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
Then place a coin on top of the card, | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
balancing on the end of your finger, just like James is here. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
Touching only the card, | 0:08:51 | 0:08:52 | |
James is going to show you how to get the card off your finger | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
leaving only the coin balancing on your fingertip. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
Sounds pretty amazing, eh? | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
James has had to psyche himself up first. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
Grrrr! Keep watching and you'll find out later in the show. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
It's going to be awesome! | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
It's time to rejoin our school trip to the athletics stadium. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:16 | |
John and Fergus have been posing as coaches for Team GB. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
Let's hope our heroes don't trip up before they collect | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
their medals for magic. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
As well as doing research and development | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
and giving out the equipment, the other thing that we have to do, | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
of course, is stretching and exercising. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
And Radley is a bit of an expert, so I'll hand you over to Radley | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
and he'll tell you about the things he does here. Away you go, Radley. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
Thanks, Dad. So, today I've brought with me... | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
this is called the hyperextension machine. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
He'll be hyperextending the truth. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
The hyperextension machine allows for a greater amount of flexibility. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:51 | |
So, I'd like to demonstrate that for you now. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
-Who'd like to see it? -CHILDREN: -Me! | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
Very good, very good. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:57 | |
-You want me to get you in it, son? -Yes, please, Dad, if you don't mind. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
The class are getting suspicious, | 0:10:01 | 0:10:02 | |
but Fergus is about to stretch their belief that little bit further. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:06 | |
Here we go. So, I'm going to get in here like that. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
In you go, son. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
Brilliant. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:12 | |
Lovely, yeah. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
Put my head through here. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
Great. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
So, in the hyperextension machine, what we've got is | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
a micro filtration system. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:26 | |
A micro filtration system that circulates heating fluid | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
around the machine and around the muscles. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
It means I can stretch them further, | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
more than you would think otherwise humanly possible. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
So, we're all going to start off by breathing together | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
in a nice relaxed way. So... And in. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
That's it, nice and calmly and slowly and smoothly, | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
-slowly and smoothly wins the race. -That's right, son. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
When I breathe in, I want everyone to stretch up to the air. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
So, stretch up. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
Good, and then stretch down. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
Good, and then stretch up. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
Fergus' hands are stretching up in the hyperextension machine. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:04 | |
And then stretch down. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
Whoa! How low did his hands just go? | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
How low did their jaws just drop? | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
This time we'll change over. This is the hard stretch, isn't it, Dad? | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
Watch him go! Wow, he's one bendy magician. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
OK, and then back again. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
That's incredible! How does he do that? | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
But, Dad, like you've always said to me, | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
-it's important you've got a flexible neck. -Yeah, that's right, son. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
I'm going to stick my neck out | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
and predict this trick's going to get even better. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
So, I've made sure now that I've got a super-flexible neck. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:37 | |
Wow! | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
He just rotated his head a full 360, | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
and he's winding the class up good and proper with his muscular magic. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:47 | |
Now, it's not just the upper body you need to do, | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
it's the legs, as well. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
So, I stick my legs out like that | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
and then I stretch first to the front and the back at the same time. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
His legs are out and the class's eyes are popping out. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
And then I'll change over again just like that. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
They cannot believe it! | 0:12:04 | 0:12:05 | |
And then once I've done that and held that for a while | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
I can shake it out just like that. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
Shake it out? More like leave it out! | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
-Will you let me out? -I'll get you out, son, don't you worry. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
Who enjoyed that? Isn't that cool? | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
John's letting him get out, and it's time to let the secret loose, too. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
Now, this brings me neatly on to my next event. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
And that is to tell you | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
that I'm not actually an Olympic training athlete. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
They're not as shocked at that fact as you'd like them to be, eh, mate? | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
And neither am I. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
-Get out of town! -In fact... | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
NORMAL ACCENT: My name's John, and I'm a magician. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
They didn't see that one coming. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
And I'm called... | 0:12:45 | 0:12:46 | |
-NORMAL VOICE: -..Fergus, and I'm also a magician | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
and all of you have been set up by your school and your parents. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
There's a camera over there, there's a camera over there, | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
there's a camera over there | 0:12:55 | 0:12:56 | |
and you're all going to be on CBBC's Help! My School Trip Is Magic! | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
CHEERING | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
Well, MO me down with a feather! | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
That was by FARAH the best magic I've ever seen. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
Let's hear what they thought about it. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
I thought that trick was spectacular. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
Fergus's hyperextension machine | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
stretched the class's belief to the limit. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
He put his hand on the ground and put his head up in the air. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:26 | |
That was...fabulous! | 0:13:26 | 0:13:30 | |
He made their heads spin, and...well, his own. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
His head went round and round, that was really, just, weird. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
He looked like he was running through the air | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
and had their hearts racing. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:41 | |
I'm so, so happy. I'm just... Wow! | 0:13:41 | 0:13:46 | |
The school trip had no idea that Fergus and John were magicians. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
How long would it take for you to shout...? | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
James will reveal the secret | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
in Tricks of the Trade. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:02 | |
Have you worked it out yet? | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
And will it work when Katherine and John | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
put their heads together on another school trip? | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
Come on, be more positive. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
There's an eye-popping trip featuring Fergus | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
like you've never seen him before. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
Isn't that horrible? | 0:14:16 | 0:14:17 | |
Will he fool the class or will they realise their school trip is magic? | 0:14:17 | 0:14:22 | |
But first, we asked you to send in clips of yourselves | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
performing your best magic tricks. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
We received loads of clips from all over the country. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
Each week, I'll be choosing a favourite Wannabe Wizard | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
and showing them to you guys. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
My Wannabe Wizard this time is Ally from Wakefield. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
See this card, normal card here? | 0:14:40 | 0:14:41 | |
Put it in my hand, magic wave and it stands up. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
Wow! That deserves a standing ovation. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
And what's really cool is I can move the card in the air, | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
and it's floating, there's no guidance and it's a normal card. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
You might think it's on a piece of string | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
but how does he pass his hand around it? | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
Round, round, round my hand. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
My head's spinning. Let's get a re-spin. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
Thank you for watching. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:07 | |
The pleasure's ours, Ally - great trick! | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
These are magicians Katherine and John. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
They're about to fool another school trip, | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
but not before John has bounced around. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
Katherine's got plenty to throw into the mix. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
Double the magicians, double the fun. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
This is year four getting on the coach. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
They've been set up by their teachers and their parents. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:34 | |
They think they're going on a regular school trip, | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
but it's one big school trick. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
They're going to Ripley's Believe It Or Not! Museum, | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
and they won't believe what they're about to see. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
Just in case, we're disguising our magicians. That's not John, is it? | 0:15:49 | 0:15:54 | |
Oh, it's worse! Only joking, handsome. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
While Katherine and John get their stories straight | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
and their wigs straighter, | 0:16:01 | 0:16:02 | |
the class are on their way, and they have | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
no idea what on earth is waiting for them. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
Katherine and John have adopted some interesting alter egos, | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
and as a heads-up, they also have some help from a little friend. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
Do you recognise him? Ugly, isn't he? | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
He's not that tall in real life, are you? | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
HIGH VOICE: "No, I'm not." | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
The kids have arrived and they're enjoying | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
the weird and wonderful exhibits. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
ALL: Eww! | 0:16:31 | 0:16:32 | |
It's a perfect cover for our magicians, | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
since they, too, are strange and unexplained. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
The magic's weighing heavy on John's mind, | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
but they need to get a move on. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
The kids are getting close. It's OK, Katherine, you're looking good. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:52 | |
School trip incoming. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:53 | |
Their minds have been expanded by the exhibits, | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
now they're going to be melted by some magic. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
Take it away, Katherine. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
-SOUTHERN STATES AMERICAN ACCENT: -Hi, boys and girls! -Er, howdy? | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
-CHILDREN: -Hi. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:04 | |
Hi, my name is Heidi Claire. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
Heidi Claire? That sounds like "I declare." | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
Well, let's hope she doesn't declare she's magic. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
Now, we have a world of remarkable things here, but I'm going to talk | 0:17:12 | 0:17:16 | |
to you specifically about the more unusual and mysterious ones we have. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
In fact, this is a little collection of my favourite items. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
They look very old and strange, don't they? | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
And they belong to a lady called Ida Guess. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
Heidi Claire? Ida Guess? But the school trippers still don't suspect. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:34 | |
She was an old fortune-teller that came from north Africa | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
and this is what she used to wear. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
You can see she used to dress in a very elaborate way, | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
and right down here we've got an old scroll. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:45 | |
That scroll contains a prediction. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:46 | |
Keep your eyes on that cos it'll become very important. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
Now, this is a prediction Ida wrote over 150 years ago. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:54 | |
Can you believe that? It's a very long time ago. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
Now, all of these different things here on the table, | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
these are thing that she used to carry around with her. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
So, she used to carry around a quite elaborate-looking mask like this, | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
and its got some nice colours on that. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
And then also she used to carry around | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
this carved out wooden, heavy jug, as well. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
And we've got here a pyramid of | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
carved out pretty little elephants, too. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
Now, Ida said if all these items were separate, | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
then they didn't have any power. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
But together they had an awful lot of power, | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
and they could control what people would do and think. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
Could you imagine? | 0:18:28 | 0:18:29 | |
She's messing with their minds, but she's going to read them. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
So, I'd like one of you to come up here and help me | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
-so who'd like to come up? What's your name? -Claudia. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
Claudia? That's a very pretty name. Come on up here. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
Step forward, Claudia, you're about to star in a great trick. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
That's great. Now, boys and girls, | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
you can imagine, working in a place like this, | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
we get an awful lot of deliveries | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
of all kinds of strange and wonderful things. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
And it's our job to choose what we're going to do with them. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
So we do one of three things - we either sell the item, | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
we display it or we store it. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
You can see here, we've got all the different signs here to show | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
what we're going to do with them. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
So, in a moment, Claudia, what I want you to do is choose one of | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
these items, but I don't want to see what you're going to choose, OK? | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
So, I'm going to stand over here like this, | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
and I'm going to close my eyes | 0:19:13 | 0:19:14 | |
so I cannot see what it is that you're choosing. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
So, Claudia, when you're ready I want you to pick up whichever item | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
you like from the table. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
Claudia's picked up the elephant statue | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
but Katherine doesn't know she's chosen that one. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
And I'd like you to place that item behind "display". | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
Great, have you done that? OK, so you've got two items left. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
I want you to take one of those items and pick it up. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
Claudia's straight in there with the jug. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
Katherine can't possibly know her choice. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:46 | |
I want you to place that behind the sign that says "sell". | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
You see that on the table there? That's great. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
And finally I want you to pick up the last, final item... | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
..and I want to place that one | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
behind the sign that says "store". | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
It's the tribal mask, but Katherine still doesn't know. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
Thank you so much for your help, Claudia. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
Now, honestly, I have no idea which item will be placed where. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
Katherine didn't know which order Claudia would pick up the artefacts. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
But now she's about to surprise them with some amazing fiction. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:14 | |
Do you remember right at the beginning | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
I said that Ida Guess made a prediction over 150 years ago? | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
-CHILDREN: -Yes. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:21 | |
A prediction that's been there the whole time. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
And this is the prediction that Ida made. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
It says: "You will display the elephant, | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
"you will store the mask and you will sell the jug." | 0:20:32 | 0:20:37 | |
That's kind of spooky, isn't it? | 0:20:37 | 0:20:38 | |
How is that possible? How did Ida Guess...well, guess? | 0:20:38 | 0:20:43 | |
-Is that amazing? -Yes! -Wow! | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
-It's magic and it's a bit spooky. -Thank you very much. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
Katherine told them a tale about | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
a scroll that would foretell the future. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
This is the prediction that Ida wrote over 150 years ago. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
Claudia from the class picked the items at random | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
-and put them in place. -That's great. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
There's no way Katherine could have known the order. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
The prediction was right! | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
"You will display the elephant, store the mask and sell the jug." | 0:21:08 | 0:21:13 | |
But the trip's about to get a fright | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
when this shrunken head is brought back to life. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
SCREAMING | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
Now it's time for James to reveal the secret in Tricks of the Trade. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
James, who has been patiently standing like this | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
will show you how, touching only the card, | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
he can get the card off his finger | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
leaving only the coin balancing on his finger tip. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
He's been in training for this for ages. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
Here we go. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
One, two, three, | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
boom! | 0:21:47 | 0:21:48 | |
Let's get a rewind! | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
You just need to give the card a hard flick | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
right on one of the corners... and practise loads. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
Did you get it? | 0:21:58 | 0:21:59 | |
Now you've got a trick with a flick to flip your mates' minds. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
It's time to rejoin our school trip | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
to the museum of the weird and wonderful. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
The kids think Katherine's way out there, | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
but still don't suspect she's magic. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
That was lovely! | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
John's about to turn the whole outing on its head. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
It's great to be here, thank you very much for coming to see us | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
here at the attraction. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:24 | |
Now, I'm in charge of some of the stuff here. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
I look after what we call the oddities. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
The oddities, yes, we call them oddities. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
In fact, my wife says I'm one of the biggest oddities here. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
-We're all thinking it. -I don't think she likes me, my wife. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
Anyway, I'm one of the curators. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
That's what I do, I curate the things. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
In fact, I like to think that I'm the head curator but I'm not, I'm not. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
I'm not the head curator. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:44 | |
I'm actually even better than that - I'm the shrunken head curator. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
It's marvellous that, isn't it? Who's heard of a shrunken head? | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
They haven't heard of it. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:52 | |
But they won't forget it after John's trick. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
Shrunken heads, right, they don't do them now, | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
but hundreds of years ago | 0:22:57 | 0:22:58 | |
the tribes, right, in places like Ecuador and Peru, you know, in South America | 0:22:58 | 0:23:03 | |
they used to get the enemies, right, and when they'd | 0:23:03 | 0:23:05 | |
captured them, they'd shrink the head right down, really small. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
Grisly but true. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
Now, the problem is, with shrunken heads, there's a lot of fakes. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
You can't tell the real ones from the fake ones. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
My job here is to make sure | 0:23:17 | 0:23:18 | |
we know what the real ones and the fake ones are. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
Normally a good way of telling a real one is they're very ugly. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
They look horrible. Urgh! I've got a shrunken head to show you. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
I've got one over here, look. And, er... | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
They're fascinated by John's chat. Hope he doesn't get too big headed. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
Now, brace yourself, cos he's an ugly little fella. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
Look at that. Isn't that horrible? Eh? | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
That little face looks familiar. Maybe I've seen it in a nightmare. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
Now, there's only way to tell if this is a real shrunken head. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
And what we have to do to tell if it's a real one, | 0:23:43 | 0:23:45 | |
we have to re-hydrate it. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
You know when you have mashed potato, that stuff out the packet, | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
and you put the water in and it all goes back up to mashed potato? | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
She's nodding nervously. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
Re-hydration. So what we can do, if we put all the water | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
and the moisture and vitamins back in the head, | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
it makes it nice and big, you see? Lovely. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
So, we can do that with one of these. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:03 | |
This is it, this is my re-hydration unit. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
Or a box of tricks. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:07 | |
Now, we can give it a try with this one. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
I'll just put the box over here, like that. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
And then when I put the head in the box, you see, | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
all the moisture gets sucked out of the atmosphere | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
and put back into the head, | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
and we find out if it's a real one. That's lovely, isn't it? | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
They can't believe this - it sounds impossible. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
We'll have a little look. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
I'll just put it in here like this, just there, hang on. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
Just put it there, look. Wonderful. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
What'll happen is, I close this door like that | 0:24:30 | 0:24:34 | |
and what happens now is that head gets re-hydrated. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:38 | |
It sucks the moisture from all around us | 0:24:38 | 0:24:40 | |
and all the vitamins and the minerals | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
and the bits of...bits of egg, anything that's in the air. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:45 | |
-John's getting carried away. -There could be egg in the air, I don't know. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
And it sucks it all in, into that box, like that, | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
and then hopefully we can find out if it's a real one, you see? | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
Cos if all the air's back in, it should look... | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 | |
CHILDREN GASP AND SHOUT | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
Whoa, the shrunken head is re-hydrated! | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
I nearly did a nervous wee in me pants! | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
What I can tell from that, you see, as soon as I've done that | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
I know that that is a real head. It's marvellous, isn't it? | 0:25:06 | 0:25:10 | |
I've seen that head before. I never forget a face. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
Isn't that good? | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
HEAD GASPS, CHILDREN SCREAM | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
Oh, I think it's a real one! I think it's real, boys and girls! | 0:25:18 | 0:25:22 | |
That's Fergus' head, but where's his body? | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
You can see right under the table, there's nowhere to hide. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
Look at you! | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
Oi, what are you doing here? | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
It speaks. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
I'm just talking to them about shrunken heads and everything. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:36 | |
I thought you... They... I... I was re-hydrating. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
You don't even work here! | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
Ah. No. That's... That's enough of that. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
Don't you shut that trap back up! I'm telling you, don't you do it! | 0:25:43 | 0:25:47 | |
Let me out! Shh! | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
The head's back in, the secret's nearly out. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
He's actually right, boys and girls. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:54 | |
I don't really work here. And I don't really talk like this. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:58 | |
NORMAL ACCENT: I talk like this. And my name's John. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
-And I'm Katherine. -And this fella here... | 0:26:01 | 0:26:04 | |
I'm Fergus. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
I knew I knew him! He's not just a pretty face, that Fergus. Not even. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:10 | |
-And we're all magicians. -Hear the collective sigh of relief. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:14 | |
And you've all been set up by your teachers and your parents. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
And there's camera over here, there's a camera over there, | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
and there's one up there and one over there. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:22 | |
And you're all going to appear on CBBC's Help! My School Trip Is Magic! | 0:26:22 | 0:26:26 | |
CHEERING | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
That trick was incredible! | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
I hope it doesn't go to their heads - shrunken or not. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
It was amazing. It was just amazing. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:41 | |
Just put it there, look. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
John put the tiny yet familiar-looking head into the box. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
Like that. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:48 | |
First the head was small and then it was really big. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:52 | |
Because if all the air's back in, it should look... | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
The shrunken head was re-hydrated into a full-size one. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
HEAD GASPS, CHILDREN SCREAM | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
When I saw that it opened its eyes, I was really scared. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
Oi, what are you doing here? | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
It spoke and it was Fergus! | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
He had a bit of a headache. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
You don't even work here. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
It was kind of like petrifying to me | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
cos I didn't think that would actually happen. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:20 | |
A petrifyingly good trick, and this school trip were totally fooled. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:24 | |
Er, not all shrunken heads are ugly. Check out this beauty! | 0:27:31 | 0:27:37 | |
See you later. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
But until then, if you're on a school trip | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
and you think something magic's going on, | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
maybe you'll find yourself shouting | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
