It's term time again and our four magicians

0:00:020:00:03

have left school on a brand-new mission.

0:00:030:00:05

But do you think you'd recognise them

0:00:060:00:09

if they were outside the classroom?

0:00:090:00:11

Do you?

0:00:110:00:12

Now's your chance cos they're going deeper under cover,

0:00:130:00:17

with new disguises, ambitious costumes and even taller tales.

0:00:170:00:21

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

0:00:250:00:29

piling them on coaches and sending them on school trips.

0:00:290:00:33

They're off to visit some amazing locations

0:00:330:00:35

where they'll witness incredible magic.

0:00:350:00:38

I was like, "Oh, my gosh."

0:00:380:00:40

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

0:00:400:00:44

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

0:00:440:00:47

-The magic is bigger than ever.

-Wow!

0:00:470:00:50

It might be term time, but school's out.

0:00:500:00:53

I can't believe our teachers did that.

0:00:530:00:55

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

0:00:550:00:57

Hello. It's me, Iain,

0:01:040:01:06

and welcome to Help! My School Trip Is Magic.

0:01:060:01:09

Our magicians are no longer supply teachers,

0:01:090:01:12

they are now doubling as staff in some popular attractions.

0:01:120:01:16

And because we know you know them, we've disguised them even more.

0:01:160:01:21

We've secretly filmed the results with special hidden cameras.

0:01:210:01:25

In today's show, our magicians get to visit a 900-year-old castle.

0:01:250:01:30

I love castles.

0:01:300:01:31

I used to own four,

0:01:310:01:33

until my mum threw away my chess set.

0:01:330:01:36

Let's see what's happening on today's show.

0:01:360:01:40

Oh, that's a bit of a disappointment.

0:01:400:01:41

There's no armour in showing you what happens

0:01:410:01:44

when a school trip visits a castle.

0:01:440:01:46

Hang on, there is armour!

0:01:460:01:48

James shows you how to strike the right balance,

0:01:480:01:51

in Tricks Of The Trade.

0:01:510:01:53

You've been sending in clips of all your best magic tricks

0:01:530:01:56

and later on I'll be picking my favourite.

0:01:560:01:59

It's the Wannabe Wizards.

0:01:590:02:01

And Fergus is really girning for it when he tries to pick up this

0:02:020:02:05

magical weight at the sports stadium.

0:02:050:02:09

Do you think you'd be able to tell if your school trip was magic?

0:02:090:02:14

Do you?

0:02:140:02:16

Here's our magician, John.

0:02:160:02:18

He's forgotten his cards.

0:02:180:02:20

Oh, he only needs the one.

0:02:200:02:22

Looks like he's going to autograph it for me.

0:02:220:02:26

That's not such a good sign.

0:02:260:02:28

I'm sure the school trip will be fine though.

0:02:280:02:30

This is Year 5 getting on the coach.

0:02:300:02:34

They don't know it yet,

0:02:340:02:35

but their teachers and parents have set them right up.

0:02:350:02:38

They think they're going on a school trip that steps back in time,

0:02:380:02:41

but they're going to have the time of their lives.

0:02:410:02:44

They're off to visit...

0:02:440:02:46

Da-da-da-da-da, da-da!

0:02:460:02:47

..Leeds Castle.

0:02:470:02:49

It's a place literally dripping with history.

0:02:490:02:51

It's been a Norman stronghold

0:02:510:02:53

and the private property of six medieval queens.

0:02:530:02:57

The kids are really excited to be getting out of school,

0:02:570:02:59

but they have no idea they're about to see some Tudor trickery

0:02:590:03:03

inside a castle once used by King Henry VIII.

0:03:030:03:06

And guess who John's being made to look like?

0:03:060:03:10

OK, so these trippers will never believe John's actually

0:03:100:03:13

Henry VIII unless they think this coach is a time machine.

0:03:130:03:16

John's even deeper in character,

0:03:160:03:18

playing a castle tour guide dressed as a famous king.

0:03:180:03:22

He's been painstakingly accurate with his research.

0:03:220:03:25

It's my favourite period of history, Tudor.

0:03:250:03:27

Chew da chicken leg, Chew da sandwich, chew da toffee.

0:03:270:03:30

I'll do any of that.

0:03:300:03:31

Of course, when I say painstaking, I mean stomach pain.

0:03:310:03:34

Here come the trippers, hungry for history.

0:03:340:03:36

Meanwhile, John's still walking the hallowed halls.

0:03:360:03:40

He'd better get his royal rear in gear, as the kids aren't far behind.

0:03:400:03:45

The fire is crackling, the magic touch paper is lit,

0:03:450:03:49

the cameras are set and John's bang up for it.

0:03:490:03:52

Here come his loyal subjects now.

0:03:530:03:55

Are any of them eagle-eyed enough to see through his regal disguise?

0:03:550:03:59

I'm going to tell you a bit about the things

0:03:590:04:01

that we have here at the castle.

0:04:010:04:03

We have some very exciting things. Have you had a look round?

0:04:030:04:05

KIDS: Yeah.

0:04:050:04:07

Oh, wonderful. It's a marvellous place.

0:04:070:04:09

We've got all sorts of exciting things.

0:04:090:04:10

I'd like to tell you about some of them,

0:04:100:04:12

and one in particular has something to do with Henry VIII. Now...

0:04:120:04:16

This is going to be spooky, I can feel it.

0:04:160:04:18

King Henry, he was a lovely man, but he was a little bit superstitious.

0:04:180:04:22

And one of the things he was very,

0:04:220:04:24

very superstitious about was security.

0:04:240:04:26

And there's a rumour that one day King Henry decided he wanted

0:04:260:04:30

all the doors locked every night, because he was afraid, you see.

0:04:300:04:33

He was afraid he might get what we call a Tudor intruder.

0:04:330:04:37

She's laughing now, but she won't be once he's chewed her ear off.

0:04:380:04:41

So, every single door was locked.

0:04:410:04:43

Remarkably, something started to happen.

0:04:430:04:46

During the night, every key would turn in its lock,

0:04:460:04:52

without anyone touching it.

0:04:520:04:55

And so, King Henry, he was upset by this.

0:04:550:04:58

He was a superstitious man, he was a scared man.

0:04:580:05:00

He didn't want intruders. And one night, in a fit of anger,

0:05:000:05:03

he jumped out of bed with a hammer and he rushed around the castle,

0:05:030:05:06

smashing every single key in its lock, so that every single

0:05:060:05:10

key was bent, so none of them could turn...except for one key.

0:05:100:05:16

This key here.

0:05:180:05:21

Keep watching. It's about to get even more magic-key.

0:05:210:05:25

This is the only key

0:05:250:05:28

that King Henry never broke

0:05:280:05:31

or bent with his hammer.

0:05:310:05:34

And it has some very strange properties.

0:05:340:05:36

This isn't true by the way.

0:05:360:05:38

It's all part of the Tudor-inspired trick.

0:05:380:05:40

Watch very, very carefully, look.

0:05:400:05:42

If I put the key on my hand like that, watch what happens, look.

0:05:420:05:46

Watch it very closely.

0:05:470:05:49

Look, can you see what's happening?

0:05:510:05:54

He's spotted something.

0:05:540:05:56

Eh? The key's moving on its own!

0:05:560:05:59

Whoa! I saw it really go then!

0:05:590:06:02

It's remarkable. Would you like to have a look at it?

0:06:020:06:04

John's made them speechless,

0:06:040:06:06

but it's not because they can't get a word in.

0:06:060:06:07

It's just an ordinary key. It won't turn in your hand.

0:06:070:06:10

There's nothing strange about the key, except John's spooky story.

0:06:100:06:14

Now obviously, that key just turned on my hand, but when these keys

0:06:140:06:17

turned in Henry's day, they didn't turn in the hand,

0:06:170:06:19

they turned in the lock. So if I hold it like this and you

0:06:190:06:22

watch very carefully, we'll see whether it will do it again, look.

0:06:220:06:25

John's fist represents the lock,

0:06:250:06:27

but will the key turn the class's head towards his magical identity?

0:06:270:06:30

Wow!

0:06:300:06:32

It's turning round in his hand! Whoa!

0:06:320:06:34

Turning around in my hand.

0:06:340:06:37

Whoa, that is spooky.

0:06:370:06:40

Would you like to have a look? Have a look at the key.

0:06:400:06:42

It's remarkable, isn't it?

0:06:420:06:44

Now, obviously people wondered why that happened.

0:06:440:06:46

They're checking it out, but they still can't see anything untoward.

0:06:460:06:49

Is it not turning?

0:06:490:06:51

Who'd like to have a go and see if it will turn in their hand?

0:06:510:06:54

This young girl here. What's your name?

0:06:540:06:56

Wonderful. Skye, will you come and join me?

0:06:560:06:57

Wonderful. Come and stand here, Skye.

0:06:570:06:59

Skye's the limit for this next trick.

0:06:590:07:01

OK, Skye, I want you to hold out your hand for me, nice and flat.

0:07:010:07:05

Great. We'll put the key in your hand. Close it nice and tight.

0:07:050:07:07

And we'll see if the key begins to turn in her hand.

0:07:070:07:10

She's holding the key, but will she unlock John's magical secret?

0:07:100:07:13

Nothing's happening. I wonder why it won't turn?

0:07:130:07:16

Just open your hand for me a moment, would you?

0:07:160:07:19

Look at that, boys and girls, the key has bent inside her hand.

0:07:190:07:24

They can't believe it. How did it happen?

0:07:240:07:26

Well done, Skye.

0:07:260:07:27

That must have been a key King Henry hit with his hammer.

0:07:270:07:29

Wonderful, thank you.

0:07:290:07:31

It's certainly been a hit of a trick.

0:07:310:07:33

First, John made a key turn in his hand.

0:07:330:07:37

It then turned in his fist.

0:07:370:07:39

He asked for a volunteer and the key didn't turn in their hand,

0:07:390:07:42

but it did bend as John magically bent the truth.

0:07:420:07:45

It's been historical, but it's all about to get hysterical

0:07:450:07:49

when a magical day turns into a magical knight.

0:07:490:07:51

THEY SCREAM

0:07:510:07:54

Now James is going to set you a magical challenge

0:07:540:07:57

in Tricks Of The Trade.

0:07:570:07:58

If you fancy yourself as a magician,

0:07:580:08:00

here's a trick you can try on your mates.

0:08:000:08:03

James is going to show you how to balance

0:08:030:08:05

a sheet of paper like this, on its side, on your fingertip.

0:08:050:08:09

James, can you give us any tips now?

0:08:110:08:15

Except your fingertip.

0:08:150:08:16

Can you work it out?

0:08:180:08:19

Keep watching and you'll find out later in the show.

0:08:190:08:21

It's going to be incredible.

0:08:210:08:24

Let's return to the ramparts,

0:08:250:08:27

for our magical school trip to Leeds Castle.

0:08:270:08:31

It's about to get even more scary, thanks to our hairy king of magic.

0:08:310:08:35

As well as those little things we've got here at the castle,

0:08:350:08:39

we have some very, very big things.

0:08:390:08:41

You've probably seen some wonderful pictures that we have.

0:08:410:08:43

What about that big crate that's been there all along, John?

0:08:430:08:46

We also have suits of armour. Who's seen a suit of armour?

0:08:460:08:49

The magic coming up will suit you.

0:08:490:08:51

We get suits of armour delivered from all over the world.

0:08:510:08:54

We've got one that's just arrived from France, I believe.

0:08:540:08:56

I'd like to show you it. I haven't yet unpacked it.

0:08:560:08:58

It's actually here, in this box.

0:08:580:09:00

I thought it'd be nice if you were the first people

0:09:000:09:02

to see the suit of armour.

0:09:020:09:03

-Would you like to see it?

-KIDS: Yeah!

0:09:030:09:05

It's still packaged up. It's just arrived.

0:09:050:09:07

We had it delivered by the postman this morning,

0:09:070:09:10

who was out of breath, I can tell you.

0:09:100:09:12

It's a heavy thing to carry. Um, but here we are.

0:09:120:09:15

I think you might be a little bit surprised with what you see.

0:09:150:09:18

This is obviously...this is the coat of arms from where it came from,

0:09:180:09:21

so that we know exactly where the suit of armour is from.

0:09:210:09:23

Looks like a coat of arms designed by Banksy.

0:09:230:09:26

If I take this out, you can have a look at the suit of armour

0:09:260:09:28

now and... Oh.

0:09:280:09:31

Awkward.

0:09:310:09:32

Oh, that's a bit of a disappointment.

0:09:320:09:34

Whoa!

0:09:340:09:35

Yes, it's a sword, but I was hoping for a whole suit of armour.

0:09:350:09:38

Impressed with the sword? Wait until they see the magic.

0:09:380:09:40

Maybe it's...

0:09:400:09:41

It's not out the back.

0:09:440:09:45

Oh, I'm sorry...

0:09:450:09:47

Don't worry, class, John's always got a story. Strap yourselves in.

0:09:470:09:50

Mind you, I was a little bit of a swordsman when I was a boy.

0:09:500:09:53

Oh, yes. When I was a boy, I could do a bit of your swordsmanship.

0:09:530:09:56

Ha-ha! Ha-ha!

0:09:560:09:58

That scared her. She'd better hold on to something

0:09:580:10:00

when the trick happens.

0:10:000:10:01

Yah! Oh, yes, bit of an expert.

0:10:010:10:04

Get out of breath when I do it now. That's a shame.

0:10:040:10:06

Um... It didn't come with a suit of armour.

0:10:060:10:08

That would have been good.

0:10:080:10:09

The suit of armour has vanished, but I'm sure John has something else

0:10:090:10:12

up his ruched sleeve.

0:10:120:10:14

I'm sorry about that, boys and girls. I really am.

0:10:140:10:16

I was hoping it would arrive.

0:10:160:10:17

Next time we have a suit of armour delivered, I'll let your school

0:10:170:10:22

know and you can come and have a look at it.

0:10:220:10:24

-Would you like that?

-KIDS: Yeah!

0:10:240:10:26

You'll have to phone up the school and make a royal appointment.

0:10:260:10:28

It will be wonderful to see you, it really will.

0:10:280:10:31

KNOCKING

0:10:310:10:33

Did you just hear that? Listen.

0:10:330:10:36

They did then, it came from the box. They look shocked.

0:10:360:10:40

I think it was just... I think the sword in the box is making a noise.

0:10:400:10:45

Let me have a look.

0:10:450:10:46

Nothing out the back.

0:10:460:10:48

Where did that come from?

0:10:530:10:54

How on earth did I miss that the first time I looked?

0:10:540:10:57

He doesn't know either.

0:10:570:10:58

That's remarkable, isn't it, eh?

0:10:580:11:01

THEY YELL

0:11:010:11:03

I don't know about you, but that made me jump, too!

0:11:030:11:05

Oh, my word!

0:11:050:11:07

This has turned into a knight to remember.

0:11:070:11:09

That took me by surprise.

0:11:090:11:11

Actually, that didn't really take me by surprise, boys and girls.

0:11:110:11:14

You could have fooled me, John. You jumped!

0:11:140:11:16

Because I'm not really Henry VIII, as you know,

0:11:160:11:19

and I don't really talk like this.

0:11:190:11:21

I actually talk like this.

0:11:210:11:23

My name's John and this fella here, this is James. There he is.

0:11:230:11:26

He's relieved to get that helmet open.

0:11:260:11:28

And we're both magicians.

0:11:280:11:30

The surprises keep on coming.

0:11:300:11:32

And you've been set up by your teachers and your parents.

0:11:320:11:35

And there's a camera over there, over here and at the back.

0:11:350:11:38

You're all going to appear on CBBC's Help! My School Trip Is Magic!

0:11:380:11:43

Yeah, you are!

0:11:430:11:45

The armour trick suited the class well,

0:11:460:11:48

but privy, what did they think of it?

0:11:480:11:50

It was just really cool.

0:11:500:11:53

John opened the crate,

0:11:530:11:54

but all that was inside was a shiny sword, which he

0:11:540:11:56

was pretty handy with.

0:11:560:11:58

Yah!

0:11:580:11:59

He shut the door again and then we all heard some thumping noises.

0:11:590:12:04

You've heard of things that go bump in the night.

0:12:040:12:07

Well, this is a knight that goes bump in a box.

0:12:070:12:09

There was a full set of armour holding the sword.

0:12:090:12:12

THEY YELL

0:12:120:12:14

When the armour came to life, they jumped out their skins.

0:12:140:12:18

It scared me a bit.

0:12:180:12:19

Scared? I nearly wet my breeches!

0:12:190:12:21

We were gobsmacked. It was magnificent.

0:12:210:12:25

I've never seen anything like it.

0:12:250:12:27

They won't forget that school trip in a hurry

0:12:270:12:29

and they had no idea John was a magician.

0:12:290:12:32

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

0:12:320:12:34

Still to come, hold the front page.

0:12:410:12:43

James reveals a secret in Tricks Of The Trade.

0:12:430:12:46

Have you worked it out yet?

0:12:460:12:48

And this rugby player builds up a sweat at the stadium.

0:12:480:12:51

Will Fergus get away with this tricky training regime?

0:12:510:12:54

Lovely.

0:12:540:12:55

Or will the kids realise their school trip is magic?

0:12:550:12:59

But first, we asked you to send in clips of yourselves

0:12:590:13:02

performing your best magic tricks.

0:13:020:13:05

We received loads of clips from all over the country.

0:13:050:13:08

Each week I'll be choosing a favourite Wannabe Wizard

0:13:080:13:11

and showing them to you guys.

0:13:110:13:14

My Wannabe Wizard this time is Rabia from Cheshire

0:13:140:13:17

and her trick will tie you in knots.

0:13:170:13:19

Right, here I have two straws.

0:13:210:13:23

Now, I'm just going to tie a knot in them,

0:13:230:13:27

so that they can't rip apart in any way.

0:13:270:13:31

She's tying them nice and tightly.

0:13:310:13:33

Now, as you can see, there is no getting out of that.

0:13:330:13:36

Definitely.

0:13:360:13:37

But, with a simple blow...

0:13:370:13:40

They melt apart.

0:13:400:13:42

Whoa! Let's get a rewind.

0:13:420:13:45

But, with a simple blow...

0:13:450:13:48

She must have secretly broken those straws.

0:13:480:13:51

And if you take a closer look,

0:13:510:13:53

they're not harmed or teared...or torn in any way.

0:13:530:13:57

Ah, great trick, Rabia.

0:13:570:14:00

Magicians Fergus and Katherine

0:14:020:14:03

have received word of their latest assignment.

0:14:030:14:07

Where will the school trip be? Fergus doesn't know.

0:14:070:14:10

Katherine's found it.

0:14:140:14:17

Where is it? We'll just have to...vitamin C.

0:14:190:14:22

This is Year 5 getting on the coach.

0:14:240:14:26

They've been set up by their parents and teachers, including this one

0:14:260:14:30

right here, who's about to be become an unwitting magical assistant.

0:14:300:14:34

They think they're going on a regular school trip to

0:14:340:14:37

a sporting arena, but they won't have seen anything like this before.

0:14:370:14:41

They're going to Twickenham Rugby Stadium,

0:14:410:14:44

home of the England team and World Rugby Museum.

0:14:440:14:47

Our world-class magicians are getting disguised as rugby coaches.

0:14:470:14:52

Meanwhile, our school trippers are on their coach en route.

0:14:520:14:56

And it's time for Fergus and Katherine to get on the ball.

0:14:570:15:00

The kids are getting closer to the stadium,

0:15:020:15:04

but how are the magicians shaping up?

0:15:040:15:06

We're at the stadium, but before we get on

0:15:090:15:11

with any rugby-inspired magic, we need to do our training.

0:15:110:15:14

I hope Fergus' tricks are better than his kicks,

0:15:170:15:20

cos here comes the kids.

0:15:200:15:21

Time to tackle some last-minute training.

0:15:230:15:27

Whoa, his head just disappeared in this machine! Katherine, help!

0:15:270:15:31

Fergus' rugby tackle is tragic.

0:15:310:15:33

Here comes the scrum looking round the museum.

0:15:380:15:41

Just time for our magicians to dust themselves off.

0:15:410:15:44

The hidden cameras are set, the crowd is coming.

0:15:440:15:47

It's nearly time to kick off.

0:15:470:15:49

-Hi, boys and girls.

-KIDS: Hi!

0:15:490:15:52

Hello, my name is Miss Hand, first name Glenda.

0:15:520:15:55

Hang on a minute, she just said her name was Glenda Hand.

0:15:550:15:59

You've got to, er...hand it to Katherine.

0:15:590:16:01

I'd like to just welcome you to the rugby stadium and museum.

0:16:010:16:05

We're very excited here because next year we're going to be

0:16:050:16:08

holding the Rugby World Cup right here in this stadium.

0:16:080:16:12

A little fact there from Katherine.

0:16:120:16:13

20 international teams are going to be competing in the World Cup,

0:16:130:16:17

including our home team, England,

0:16:170:16:19

and the reigning champions, New Zealand.

0:16:190:16:21

Not forgetting Wales, Ireland and, my favourite, Scotland.

0:16:210:16:25

Now, when the teams arrive, they have a whole team of people

0:16:250:16:28

behind them, which means they've got coaches, sports psychologists,

0:16:280:16:32

physiotherapists... And that's what I do, I'm a physiotherapist

0:16:320:16:36

and I help deal with all the muscular training for the athletes.

0:16:360:16:39

And here she's also massaging the truth.

0:16:390:16:42

Can anyone tell me,

0:16:420:16:44

when you pass a ball in rugby, how do you do it?

0:16:440:16:48

-Yes.

-Um... You pass it backwards.

0:16:480:16:51

Excellent. Yes, you pass it backwards.

0:16:510:16:53

This class isn't backwards in coming forwards.

0:16:530:16:56

So, these are some of the stretches we've come up with to help

0:16:560:16:59

pass the ball. This is one of them.

0:16:590:17:01

Hold your hands like this, out in front of you.

0:17:010:17:04

Feel free to follow at home, if you can.

0:17:040:17:07

And if you can just turn them around so your thumbs are down.

0:17:070:17:10

That's great.

0:17:100:17:11

And you put your left hand over your right hand and grip your fingers.

0:17:110:17:14

That's fantastic.

0:17:140:17:15

And then you slowly twist around like that. And you can really,

0:17:150:17:19

really feel your muscles going there, can't you?

0:17:190:17:22

How did Katherine turn her wrists all the way round like that?

0:17:220:17:25

It's impossible.

0:17:250:17:26

You aren't used to this kind of training,

0:17:260:17:27

so you'll probably find it a little bit more difficult.

0:17:270:17:30

Also because Katherine's magic.

0:17:300:17:32

Now, something else that we do.

0:17:320:17:34

This is called the reverse pass muscle memory move.

0:17:340:17:37

Easy for you to say.

0:17:370:17:38

This is how you do it.

0:17:380:17:39

You'll be able to follow this with your eyes but not your arms.

0:17:390:17:42

Pop your hand on the floor and you begin to twist your hand and arm...

0:17:420:17:48

Whoa! Katherine's twisting her hand through 360 degrees!

0:17:480:17:52

That's not possible!

0:17:520:17:53

It's making my eyes water just thinking about it.

0:17:530:17:56

He's brave to give it a go, though.

0:17:560:17:58

And it really does require a lot of stretching.

0:17:580:18:01

A lot of stretching the truth.

0:18:010:18:02

But it very much helps with passing the ball in rugby.

0:18:020:18:06

They can't believe it.

0:18:060:18:07

Katherine's contortionism has left them guessing.

0:18:070:18:10

Like that.

0:18:100:18:12

She's still trying to work out that muscular magic.

0:18:120:18:15

Let's rewind that hand and wince once more.

0:18:150:18:19

Ouch and wow!

0:18:220:18:24

Katherine must be made of rubber, but that was some solid magic.

0:18:240:18:27

And it really does require a lot of stretching.

0:18:270:18:30

But Fergus is about to contort his face

0:18:300:18:32

and the magic is going to get stronger and stronger.

0:18:320:18:35

No!

0:18:350:18:36

Now it's time for James to reveal the secret in Tricks Of The Trade.

0:18:380:18:41

James left you in the balance as to how to balance

0:18:410:18:44

a sheet of paper like this on its side, on your fingertip.

0:18:440:18:49

Do you just fold it in two and hang it over like this?

0:18:490:18:52

No, remember you have to do it on its side.

0:18:520:18:55

Or do you concentrate really hard?

0:18:560:18:59

Not likely.

0:19:000:19:02

Here's the secret.

0:19:030:19:04

You fold the paper diagonally in half.

0:19:060:19:08

That's it James, nice and precise. Take your time.

0:19:110:19:14

Then fold one side back on itself in a wing shape,

0:19:150:19:20

and do the same on the other side.

0:19:200:19:22

You will now be able to balance the paper on your fingertip.

0:19:240:19:27

Did you get it?

0:19:280:19:30

Hold it steady!

0:19:310:19:34

That trick'll leave your mates' minds in creases.

0:19:340:19:37

It's time to rejoin our school trip to the rugby stadium and museum.

0:19:400:19:44

Katherine's been pulling the class's leg by twisting her arm,

0:19:440:19:47

but they don't suspect a thing.

0:19:470:19:49

Twist your hand and arm backwards.

0:19:490:19:52

Now it's time for Fergus to up the stakes

0:19:540:19:56

and lift the trick to another level.

0:19:560:20:00

-Hello, everyone!

-KIDS: Hello!

0:20:000:20:02

I'm going to demonstrate something for you here today.

0:20:020:20:04

This is our heavy weight-training kit.

0:20:040:20:08

I'm going to show that to you now.

0:20:080:20:10

It's just a box.

0:20:100:20:12

A heavy box, that is.

0:20:120:20:14

Fergus looks like he's struggling, but the class are laughing.

0:20:150:20:18

Cruel bunch.

0:20:180:20:20

So you can see, it's a rather...

0:20:200:20:21

..heavy piece of kit.

0:20:260:20:29

And as you can see, even that alone builds up quite a sweat.

0:20:290:20:33

That's it mate, wipe your brow. You deserve a breather.

0:20:330:20:36

Top-class girning.

0:20:360:20:37

Now, I'm going to use one of your teachers for this demonstration.

0:20:370:20:41

-So we'll use... What's your name?

-Mrs Hannington.

0:20:410:20:44

We're going to use Mrs Hannington,

0:20:440:20:46

so give a round of applause for Mrs Hannington.

0:20:460:20:49

She's a popular teacher,

0:20:490:20:50

about to become Fergus' latest magical assistant.

0:20:500:20:53

Mrs Hannington, what I'd like you to do is just come

0:20:530:20:55

and stand behind the box for me.

0:20:550:20:57

We're all going to count Mrs Hannington in.

0:20:570:21:00

I want you to place your hands on the side of the box.

0:21:000:21:02

Don't lift it just for now,

0:21:020:21:04

-but when we get to one, I just want you to lift it off the table.

-OK.

0:21:040:21:07

Everyone together!

0:21:070:21:08

ALL: Three, two, one...

0:21:080:21:11

Just lift up the box for me.

0:21:110:21:13

I can't.

0:21:130:21:14

It's really heavy,

0:21:140:21:16

there's your proof, and Mrs Hannington is pretty strong.

0:21:160:21:19

I have that on good authority.

0:21:190:21:20

Now, you can see, it is difficult. It is a heavy... Unlucky.

0:21:200:21:23

Round of applause.

0:21:230:21:25

A for effort, but there must be someone in there

0:21:250:21:27

who's strong enough to lift that box.

0:21:270:21:29

Now, you may have noticed, there is

0:21:290:21:31

someone in this room who's only fractionally bigger than me,

0:21:310:21:35

but he's used to lifting a lot of weights.

0:21:350:21:38

It is an England Under 20 international!

0:21:380:21:43

It's Charlie Ewels!

0:21:430:21:44

Round of applause for Charlie!

0:21:440:21:46

Now, he really is a proper rugby player and a big old fella.

0:21:460:21:49

He's bound to lift it.

0:21:490:21:50

Now, Charlie, I presume you've lifted a lot of weights.

0:21:500:21:53

-A few, yeah.

-Judging, probably just as many as me, by the look of it.

0:21:530:21:56

I want you to imagine, Charlie,

0:21:560:21:58

-you're getting psyched up for a big game.

-Yeah.

0:21:580:22:01

And we're going to count you down from three.

0:22:010:22:03

I want you to put your hands on the side of the box

0:22:030:22:05

and lift it just like before.

0:22:050:22:06

Do you think he'll be able to do it?

0:22:060:22:08

He should, shouldn't he?

0:22:080:22:10

Of course, we're looking at an England Under 20's player! Charlie.

0:22:100:22:12

Three, two, one...

0:22:120:22:14

Here he goes...

0:22:140:22:15

He's going to lift it any second now.

0:22:150:22:18

It's tough, you see.

0:22:180:22:19

It really is heavy.

0:22:190:22:21

Have another go. He's competitive, doesn't like to be beaten.

0:22:210:22:23

He's having another go. Still can't lift it.

0:22:230:22:26

Good effort.

0:22:280:22:29

I can actually see you've built up a bit of sweat there.

0:22:290:22:32

Bit of hard work, so I'll dab you down. Lovely.

0:22:320:22:35

Charlie's a good sport.

0:22:350:22:36

He doesn't even let the physio dab his head usually.

0:22:360:22:38

Now, different players do different things to psych up.

0:22:380:22:42

In fact, New Zealand, they go out

0:22:420:22:45

and they do something called the haka, in front of other teams.

0:22:450:22:48

You've got these big guys doing a dance.

0:22:480:22:50

That's really intimidating, right?

0:22:500:22:51

Totally true fact. Glad Fergus isn't trying to do it there, though.

0:22:510:22:55

For me, I tend to just go and find a mirror...

0:22:550:22:57

Oh, he's going to do it, isn't he?

0:22:570:22:59

And I just give it one of these...

0:22:590:23:02

Oh, Fergus might need to change his underwear after doing that.

0:23:020:23:06

So I want everyone now to give me your very best...

0:23:060:23:08

Three, two one...

0:23:100:23:12

Truly terrifying.

0:23:130:23:15

Excellent. Very good.

0:23:150:23:16

You all do that very well,

0:23:160:23:19

but you in particular do it brilliantly. What's your name?

0:23:190:23:22

-Anna.

-Anna. Anna, you're going to come and help me with this.

0:23:220:23:25

Give Anna a round of applause.

0:23:250:23:27

So, Anna, if you come and stand in here for me. Lovely.

0:23:300:23:33

Now, bearing in mind, you have seen your teacher unable to do this,

0:23:330:23:38

you have seen an Under 20's England international rugby player

0:23:380:23:44

unable to do this,

0:23:440:23:46

do you think Anna's going to be able to do this?

0:23:460:23:48

-KIDS: No!

-It's going to be difficult.

0:23:480:23:51

Now, this I have to see.

0:23:510:23:53

Anna, I want you to imagine... This is called positive imagery.

0:23:530:23:57

Well, it's actually called magic.

0:23:570:23:59

..that you've got your hands on the box. Just imagine it for now.

0:23:590:24:02

And you can lift the box.

0:24:020:24:04

Just imagine you can do it with ease.

0:24:040:24:06

It just floats right up in your hands

0:24:060:24:08

and it feels really light and easy. Imagine that.

0:24:080:24:10

Can you do that for me?

0:24:100:24:12

Anna, I want you to give me your very best grrr.

0:24:120:24:15

Your last grrr. I'm going to count you in. Ready?

0:24:150:24:18

Three, two, one...

0:24:180:24:20

Grrrr!

0:24:200:24:22

Very good. That's excellent.

0:24:220:24:25

Anna, I don't want you to lift it for now.

0:24:250:24:27

I just want you to place your hands on the side of the box.

0:24:270:24:30

If the England international couldn't lift it,

0:24:300:24:33

then surely Anna can't.

0:24:330:24:35

I'm going to count you down from three, two, one,

0:24:350:24:37

and I want you to calmly and gently just try and lift it.

0:24:370:24:42

I can feel the tension.

0:24:420:24:44

Three, two, one...

0:24:440:24:47

Whoa!

0:24:470:24:50

No way, she lifted it up like it was a feather!

0:24:500:24:53

That's definitely worth a whoa, an applause and a rewind!

0:24:540:24:58

An England rugby player didn't manage it, but check out Anna.

0:25:000:25:03

She's my hero!

0:25:030:25:05

Whoa!

0:25:050:25:07

Anna, high-five! Double high-five!

0:25:070:25:11

Careful, Fergus, she doesn't know her own strength.

0:25:110:25:14

And that's why the mental is so important over the physical!

0:25:140:25:17

That was incredible. Wasn't that amazing, boys and girls?

0:25:180:25:22

KIDS: Yeah!

0:25:220:25:23

Well, I dunno about you, but I'm exhausted.

0:25:230:25:26

So, when you're looking to do your sport,

0:25:260:25:28

it is really important you train hard.

0:25:280:25:31

Fergus and Katherine have trained hard for their rugby tricks,

0:25:310:25:34

but now it's time to tackle the truth.

0:25:340:25:37

Now, my colleague Glenda, you're going to come up and join me.

0:25:370:25:40

Cos we've got a little something to tell you.

0:25:400:25:44

My name is actually Fergus.

0:25:440:25:49

And I'm not Glenda. My name's Katherine.

0:25:490:25:53

And we are both...magicians.

0:25:530:25:57

Dramatic pause. Nice touch.

0:25:570:25:59

And all of you have been set up by your parents, by your teachers,

0:25:590:26:04

by your schools and there's a camera there, there's a camera there,

0:26:040:26:07

there's a camera there and you're all going to be on CBBC's Help!

0:26:070:26:11

My School Trip Is Magic!

0:26:110:26:13

Whoa, it's all kicking off. Let's get some crowd reaction.

0:26:140:26:18

The trick was so awesome! I mean, it looked so light.

0:26:190:26:23

That was until Fergus picked it up, but could anyone else lift it?

0:26:230:26:27

When our teacher tried, she couldn't do it,

0:26:270:26:30

and a professional rugby player couldn't do it.

0:26:300:26:32

When Anna stepped up to the plate,

0:26:320:26:34

she grabbed that box with both hands.

0:26:340:26:37

When I picked it up, I was really surprised and shocked,

0:26:370:26:40

and I didn't know what to do.

0:26:400:26:42

I just picked it up and then I was like, "Wow!"

0:26:420:26:45

Three, two, one... Whoa!

0:26:450:26:50

She couldn't believe her strength.

0:26:500:26:52

The class couldn't believe it either!

0:26:520:26:54

That trick was absolutely amazing. I couldn't believe my eyes.

0:26:540:26:58

Nice try, Fergus,

0:26:580:26:59

and the class didn't suspect their school trip was magic!

0:26:590:27:03

I've got a theory on how that works.

0:27:100:27:12

It's the hankie that makes it heavy.

0:27:120:27:15

Watch. This box, really light, hmm?

0:27:150:27:18

But if I put the hankie inside, I bet it feels pretty heavy.

0:27:180:27:23

I'm just going to leave that there.

0:27:290:27:31

See you later, but until then, if you're on a school trip

0:27:320:27:35

and you think something magic's going on,

0:27:350:27:37

maybe you'll find yourself shouting, "Help! My School Trip Is Magic!"
