0:00:02 > 0:00:03It's term time again
0:00:03 > 0:00:07and our four magicians have left school on a brand-new mission.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09But do you think you'd recognise them
0:00:09 > 0:00:11if they were outside the classroom?
0:00:11 > 0:00:12Do you?
0:00:12 > 0:00:18Now's your chance cos they're going deeper undercover,
0:00:18 > 0:00:22with new disguises, ambitious costumes and even taller tales.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25HE SINGS
0:00:26 > 0:00:29This time we're taking unsuspecting kids out of school,
0:00:29 > 0:00:34piling them on coaches and sending them on school trips.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37They're off to visit some amazing locations,
0:00:37 > 0:00:39where they'll witness incredible magic.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41I was like, "Oh, my gosh!"
0:00:41 > 0:00:44And once again we're hiding secret cameras in every corner
0:00:44 > 0:00:48so you don't miss a trick on any school trip.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50The magic is bigger than ever.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54- Wow!- It might be term time, but school's out.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56I can't believe our teachers did that.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58How long will it take before the classes shout...?
0:01:05 > 0:01:10Hello. It's me, Iain. Welcome to Help! My School Trip Is Magic.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Our magicians are no longer supply teachers.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16They are now posing as staff in some popular attractions.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20And because we know you know them, we've disguised them even more.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24We've secretly filmed the results with special hidden cameras.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26We've got a bit of culture on the show today,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29with some wonderful classical ballet.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34Can you guess what my favourite ballet is?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Swan Lake!
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Here's what's coming up on today's show...
0:01:43 > 0:01:45The Nutcracker.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Just start leaning a bit for me, mate.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53Fergus choreographs magical moves that defy gravity.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55It's RICELY does it,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58when Katherine gives you a helping in Tricks Of The Trade.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02You've been sending in clips of all your best magic tricks
0:02:02 > 0:02:05and later on, I'll be picking my favourite.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06It's the Wannabe Wizards.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10And James has designed a device that causes disappearance
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- and some 3D tomfoolery.- No, it's all right. I know what I've done.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Do you think you'd be able to tell if your school trip was magic?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Do ya?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26This is Fergus. He likes to think outside the box.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30His cards are blue, but they're easily RED.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35And it's a red-letter day for Year 5.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38They get the day out of school, which is always cool.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41What they don't know is that they've been hoodwinked at home and tricked
0:02:41 > 0:02:45by their teachers, because this is one school trip with a difference.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50They're going to the Royal Opera House - home of the Royal Ballet.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54This school trip is going to start off normal and end up magical.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57And so they don't recognise Fergus, he's going to start off normal
0:02:57 > 0:02:59and end up beautiful.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03And so he looks even more beautiful, we've enlisted John for contrast.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Only joking, mate.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08The coach is effortlessly gliding its way towards its destination,
0:03:08 > 0:03:12while our magicians are realising that dancing is anything
0:03:12 > 0:03:13but effortless.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23This is Xander, a dancer from the Royal Ballet, based here.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Showing our leads the nimbleness, strength and poise they require
0:03:27 > 0:03:29if they want to convince the trip they work here.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Good luck with that, lads.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36The kids don't know what's to come from their trip,
0:03:36 > 0:03:38but they certainly won't be expecting this.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41We're going to be doing magic that's inspired by dancing
0:03:41 > 0:03:42and opera and the ballet.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Fergus!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Like I say, it's quite inspiring.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51They'd better get a dance move on, cos the kids are here.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Whoa, it's Strictly Come Prancing.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I give that a seve-e-e-en!
0:03:58 > 0:04:01The class are hot-stepping through the hallowed halls
0:04:01 > 0:04:05and soon they're going to keep our fibbing magicians on their toes.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Last-minute checks on set, and while the cameras roll,
0:04:09 > 0:04:10it's time for a final spin.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16On their heels come the unsuspecting trippers, so it's over to the floor.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Good morning, boys and girls!
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Good morning!
0:04:22 > 0:04:25My name's Lee. Lee Outard.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I'm sure he just said his name was Leotard?!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Cheeky. Nice Scouse accent too.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Now, the Opera House has been here for over 280 years.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Well, maybe not THAT good, but it is a fact.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Who here likes to dance?
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Lots of you.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Now, unfortunately, I don't have any of my top dancers here today.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51But I do have my colleague and friend...
0:04:51 > 0:04:53And magician.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- ..Paul.- Otherwise known as John.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Now, Paul is well-known for his performance
0:04:59 > 0:05:02in the 1945 production Swan Lake,
0:05:02 > 0:05:06where he actually played the Ugly Duckling.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Well, of course they all believe THAT.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14Now, Paul's going to take us through some very basic exercises.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Now, Paul, let's start off nice and simple, like.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18Let's do a plie.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Now, this I have to see.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24It's very good. It's great. I'll give you a hand there, Paul.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26He's not what he used to be.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Light on his feet, not as light on top.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Now, what about pirouettes, Paul? - Stand by.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Great, that's...- A thing of beauty.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39You can tell he was once classically trained with that kind of technique.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42The other thing we're going to do with Paul is a balance exercise,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44so, Paul, if you make your way over to the mat.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49John's happy to look silly, but soon Fergus will do some uber-cool magic.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51So what Paul is gonna do is a basic stretch
0:05:51 > 0:05:53that we get all our dancers to do.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55He's going to lean over to a 45-degree angle.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Now, I know that sounds impossible.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Because it is.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02And quite frankly, I didn't believe it until I saw it.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- You won't either.- So, Paul, just start leaning a bit for me, mate.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Magic coming up.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11And a bit more. And a tiny bit more. Come on, Paul.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12No, Paul!
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Well, that wasn't it! John went down like a sack of tatties.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17But the magic really is coming up.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Like I said, Paul's not quite what he used to be.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Paul, clear that mat for me.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Give Paul a round of applause anyway for his efforts.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27And for suffering for his art.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Now, I'm going to try and demonstrate
0:06:29 > 0:06:32what it should look a bit more like. So what's going to happen now...
0:06:32 > 0:06:36If I lean forward, what's going to happen if I lean further than that?
0:06:36 > 0:06:37- Yes?- You'll drop.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- I'll drop and fall over. - You'd think.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44But what we train our dancers to do is become exceptional
0:06:44 > 0:06:45at this stretch.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Fergus is about to do the impossible. Keep watching.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Normally now, the average person would go to here and fall over,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53but our dancers don't.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Whoa! That looks incredible. They think so too.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59They can lean right at an impossible angle
0:06:59 > 0:07:01and actually move on that angle.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03How's he doing that?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07It's impossible, right?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Fergus has defied the laws of physics!
0:07:10 > 0:07:13And then they can come back to that resting position.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- Isn't that cool?- Yeah!
0:07:15 > 0:07:18They're impressed by his flexibility,
0:07:18 > 0:07:20but they don't realise he's bent the truth.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- A bit more.- Let's have another look at a cute trick from an acute angle.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25No, Paul!
0:07:25 > 0:07:27John fell headlong to earth...
0:07:27 > 0:07:31but Fergus took one giant lean for mankind.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Do not adjust your TV sets - it's not wonky
0:07:34 > 0:07:35and the magic's far from shonky.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Later, John rotates this screen and turns the school trip upside-down.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Now Katherine is going to set you a magical challenge
0:07:46 > 0:07:47in Tricks Of The Trade.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49If you fancy yourself as a magician,
0:07:49 > 0:07:52here's a trick you can try on your mates.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Katherine will show you how to lift this jar full of rice,
0:07:54 > 0:07:58touching it with a wooden spoon, but not your hands.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00"Can't be done!" I hear you saying!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Keep watching and you'll find out later in the show.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04It's going to be awesome.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10It's time to twirl back to our school trip at the Opera House.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Earlier Fergus was a lean, mean, magic machine.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17It's time now for John to take centre stage.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Good morning, boys and girls. - Good morning.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- Welcome to the Opera House. Beautiful, don't you think?- Yes!
0:08:23 > 0:08:25It's marvellous, darling, absolutely marvellous.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26So's your accent.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I work in the costume department.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31It's my job to look after all these wonderful, beautiful costumes.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Shame about your own, though, mate.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Who can tell me, what do you think a ballet dancer might wear
0:08:38 > 0:08:39for everyday shows?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Everyday wear? What would a ballet dancer wear?
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- A tutu?- A tutu. Very good. Yes. I was quite large when I danced.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I used to wear what we call a three-three.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Badoom, boom, tsh!
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Now, obviously some of the costumes that we have to wear
0:08:52 > 0:08:54here at the Opera House,
0:08:54 > 0:08:55they are very, very grand.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59I can remember once having to dance a Viennese Polka
0:08:59 > 0:09:02dressed as an 8ft pineapple.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Yes. Very difficult, but I did run rings around the other dancers.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07That joke had a familiar ring.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Now, one of the big challenges for all of the dancers here
0:09:10 > 0:09:12is changing costume.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Sometimes they have to change quickly in the wings, which is
0:09:14 > 0:09:17why I have developed this.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21This is the between-scene changing screen.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22I'm very, very proud of it.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26The between-scene changing screen? That's a tongue-twister.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29And I'd like to demonstrate it now with the help of my colleague, Lee.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Thank you, Lee.- John's laying on a bit of magic assistance from Fergus.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Now, we're going to let you have a little look at the screen now,
0:09:36 > 0:09:38so we'll turn it around.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Wonderful.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41There's nothing behind that screen.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44All that's on it is a pair of pink tights.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Now, as you can imagine, in a ballet,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Lee might not have a lot of time to get changed.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51So he can used the between-scene changing screen to get changed.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54He's going to do that now, very, very quickly. Are you ready, Lee?
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Remember, nothing behind that screen. Watch carefully.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01On the count of three. One, two, three...
0:10:01 > 0:10:03And away he goes behind the screen.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07He's grabbed the tights. Here he comes! Whoa, he's changed!
0:10:07 > 0:10:09That's not Fergus!
0:10:09 > 0:10:12He can come out dressed as another... Hang on a minute.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14You're not Lee!
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- John's only just realised. - Oh, yes, I am.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Oh, no, she isn't! But where has Fergus gone?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Are you sure?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25He's not behind the screen. He's vanished!
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Where has he gone?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Are you sure you're Lee?
0:10:31 > 0:10:32I'm sure she's not.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Actually, no, I'm not Lee.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37She's not Lee, but she's about to unpick the mystery.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39I'm, in fact, Katherine.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41This is one confused school trip.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Oh, and Lee wasn't Lee.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Lee was Fergus and I'm not me, I'm John.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Because we're magicians and you've been set up by your teachers
0:10:51 > 0:10:52and your parents.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54The penny's dropped.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57There's a camera over here. There's a camera over there.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58And you're all going to appear
0:10:58 > 0:11:01on CBBC's Help! My School Trip Is Magic.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03THEY SCREAM
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Fergus vanished and Katherine appeared.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Quite literally a quick change.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14But how did it change our trippers' lives?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18We thought it was calafragicsuperlisticexpealidotious.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22I don't know about Mary Poppins, it was more like "pop and lock 'em"
0:11:22 > 0:11:25when Fergus showed them an incredible move.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29I never knew he was going to be able to lean over without falling.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34Then Fergus went behind the screen and something strange happened.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Lee, he can come out dressed as another...
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I was like, "Why is it not a man?"
0:11:39 > 0:11:42An even bigger question, where did the man go?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44He vanished into thin air.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I thought that trick was amazing.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51A big thumbs-up while I call out, "Fergus, where are you?"
0:11:51 > 0:11:53It's time to hear the kids shout...
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Still to come, Katherine will reveal how to lift a jar of rice
0:12:03 > 0:12:06using only a spoon in Tricks Of The Trade.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Have you worked it out yet?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11And Fergus is as flat as a pancake,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13but is it more than this class can take?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15That's not quite what I had in mind.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Or will the kids realise their school trip is magic?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22But first, we asked you to send in clips of yourselves
0:12:22 > 0:12:25performing your best magic tricks.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28We received loads of clips from all over the country.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Each week I'll be choosing a favourite Wannabe Wizard
0:12:31 > 0:12:33and showing them to you guys.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38My Wannabe Wizard this time is Diana from Bradford.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41My dad told me about a famous magician called
0:12:41 > 0:12:45David Copperfield, who walked through the Great Wall of China.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49I said, "That's easy," so I thought I'd do the same thing
0:12:49 > 0:12:52with my pack of cards and a small piece of card.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Really? - So, I pushed the card through.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- Ta-da!- Whoa, it went through really easy! Let's get a rewind.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04So, I pushed the card through.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09- The card is through the cards. - Ta-da!- Unless it's an empty box.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11My dad said, "There are no cards in there
0:13:11 > 0:13:14"or they've all got little holes in them".
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I said, "OK, Dad, there aren't any cards in here...
0:13:17 > 0:13:22"just a Great Wall of Steel."
0:13:22 > 0:13:26- What?! STEEL can't work that out. - Thank you.- You're welcome.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31James and Fergus, two magicians for the price of one.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Two coins in the hand are worth one in the fist.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37He's waving his money around. Now there's only one pound.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39That's for Fergus.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Double money. Double trouble.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Here comes even more trouble. Year 5 are already buzzed up
0:13:48 > 0:13:51cos they're getting out of school for the day. This is Geona.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Remember her, cos she's going to be a start later on.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Their teachers and parents are fully in the picture,
0:13:57 > 0:14:00but all this class know is they're off to the Design Museum.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Here they celebrate all kinds of designs, ranging from
0:14:04 > 0:14:07domestic applications to futuristic inventions.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10We've had to get inventive with our guys' disguises,
0:14:10 > 0:14:12so they don't get recognised.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15James is styling, Fergus not so much,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- but he's smiling. - It's great for me today,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21apart from the hair, which I am quite proud of.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24I think the rest of it is, er, rockin' high street chic.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28If you say so. The coach is drawing into the museum.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Fergus has done some drawings of his own.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Stick to the magic, mate.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36The school trip's in full swing.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Here's Geona again, looking at some objects made by a 3D printer,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42which has inspired today's tricks.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46In a room elsewhere in the museum, the cameras are being camouflaged,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49the clapperboard is being...well, clappered.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51The magicians are walking the walk
0:14:51 > 0:14:53and soon they'll have to talk the talk,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55but will the class believe them?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58They're in position, but how are they feeling?
0:14:58 > 0:14:59A little bit nervous now.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Yeah, excited.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02Excited nervous.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03No time for nerves now.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Good to go. The eagle has landed.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Bird is approaching the nest.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Here they come.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13They don't know it yet, but they're going to see
0:15:13 > 0:15:15some great tricks that will tap into their imagination.
0:15:17 > 0:15:23My name is Andrew Brunel, and I work here at the museum.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27And today I'm going to be telling you just a little bit about design.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Fergus has designs on blowing their mind.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34I've got a pretty cool prototype to show you today.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Who would like to see that?
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Whoa, they're excited and they haven't even seen any magic yet.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Right, well...have you heard of, like, those automated lights you get
0:15:44 > 0:15:46in your houses or the schools,
0:15:46 > 0:15:49and you can control them all from your mobile phone?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52You can control the lights or maybe you've got a remote control.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53They're pretty cool, right?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Well, this is designed for the plumbing in your house.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00This is a three-dimensional schematic model,
0:16:00 > 0:16:05which will enable you to control your plugs,
0:16:05 > 0:16:09your taps, and your toilet flushing.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10THEY GIGGLE
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Toilet flushing, always funny.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17Who's been at home and, say, run the bath and then they go downstairs...
0:16:17 > 0:16:20They might stick on the telly or you might start talking
0:16:20 > 0:16:23to your mum or dad or whoever, and then you realise
0:16:23 > 0:16:26you've forgotten to turn the taps off
0:16:26 > 0:16:27and you've nearly flooded the house.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30That's happened to me many times.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33That's true, but this prototype isn't - it's magic.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38This process called Mind The Tap will stop that from happening.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39So imagine this one here,
0:16:39 > 0:16:43this plug here is plugged into your bath, right?
0:16:43 > 0:16:44So you run a nice, little, hot bath.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46You're going to have a relaxing evening.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48You put the plug in, brilliant. Done.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Then you go downstairs and you go to put this plug in the sink.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Yeah? As you put this plug in the sink, in order to stop
0:16:55 > 0:16:57the house from flooding,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Mind The Tap will unplug the plug from upstairs.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01It's cool, isn't it?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03It's cool, but not a trick yet.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05The two taps are just connected by string, right?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Now, let's say you're downstairs and you want to go back upstairs
0:17:08 > 0:17:10and put the plug back in the bath.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14This plug will come out of the sink automatically. Check it out.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Whoa!
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Well, that still figures - they're connected.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Isn't that cool? But Mind The Tap
0:17:21 > 0:17:25is so sophisticated it's actually got little sensors on here, right?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Little sensors that will recognise
0:17:28 > 0:17:32when a plug's been unplugged like that.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36And it will allow you to put one straight back in.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Hang on, that makes no sense.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41If they were connected, how could Fergus do that?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Now, the only problem with this particular prototype is
0:17:44 > 0:17:46if both plugs want to be in at the same time...
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Whoa, both plugs are down together, how is that possible?
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Magic, that's how.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54..it confuses the little sensors here. That won't work.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55It's confused them too.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58The amazing thing with this is that it all works on Wi-Fi,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01so there is no cable connections.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Wi-Fi? More like "what-was-that-fi"?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- How cool is that? Who'd like one of them in their house?- Me!
0:18:07 > 0:18:10That invention was credible, but the trick was incredible.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14And Fergus is about to pipe up with some more well-designed magic.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Once you've got the prototype,
0:18:15 > 0:18:20you need to start thinking about how the design looks.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Yeah? You all agree with that?
0:18:22 > 0:18:23Yeah!
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Yeah, but who designs YOUR look, Fergus?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27I need to have a word with them.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29The great thing about the classic designs is
0:18:29 > 0:18:33they can be recognised just from their silhouette.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38So every item and exhibit we have going, I create a silhouette.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I've got very good at it and very fast.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44I'm a bit like, er... the guy that's in that film...
0:18:44 > 0:18:48and he's got those scissors for hands...
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Edward Scissorhands.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Bernard Scissorchops. That one.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Not too many jokes, mate, they might trip you up.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I'd like to demonstrate this, but I'm going to need a helper.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00By which he means magic assistant.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- We'll have you. What's your name? - Geona.- Will you help me?
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Round of applause...
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Told you to watch out for her.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08She's about to star in Fergus' next trick.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Geona, I've got a bag here of lots of different designs.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Can you see all the different designs in there?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16So...that is a vacuum cleaner.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18See that one? What else we got?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20We've got a squeezer on that one.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23And we've also got a phone box on that one.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28So, what I'd like you to do, Geona, is to reach in
0:19:28 > 0:19:30and take out one of your very own designs.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32You happy to do that?
0:19:32 > 0:19:36So, go ahead, just reach in, take one out and I won't look.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Geona's choosing a design.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Got one?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42OK, and then what I'd like you to do, Geona, is look at it,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44remember it and go and sit back down.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47She's happy with her choice.
0:19:49 > 0:19:55Geona, I want you to think... about the design, OK?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Fergus has got scissors,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04but has he got the chops to correctly guess Geona's design?
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Whoa, watch his fingers of fury.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15He's quick, but he's not taking any shortcuts.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19He thinks he can read her mind,
0:20:19 > 0:20:23but he's about to blow the minds of all her mates.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Lightning hands!
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Geona, I've made an image.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Can you tell everyone what image you took out the bag? What was it?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43It's a telephone.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47A telephone? Be impossible, wouldn't it, if I'd made a telephone?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49So you'd have thought.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Can you get up and show the card to everyone, the one you took out?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54It's a telephone, right?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Look, it's an old-fashioned telephone
0:20:57 > 0:21:00and look at the design that I made.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01THEY GASP AND CHEER
0:21:01 > 0:21:05It's an old-fashioned telephone, but it's a cutting-edge trick.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06The class are impressed,
0:21:06 > 0:21:10but they still don't suspect that this school trip is magic.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Fergus impressed them with his disconnected misdirection
0:21:13 > 0:21:16and his super silhouette skills.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20The trip's about to take an even more surprising turn
0:21:20 > 0:21:24when James gets involved and gets a reaction that's anything but flat.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Now it's time for Katherine to reveal the secret
0:21:31 > 0:21:32in Tricks Of The Trade.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Katherine will show you how to pick up this jar full of rice
0:21:35 > 0:21:37using only a spoon.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Do you jam it in the neck of the jar and lever it up?
0:21:42 > 0:21:46No, the head of the spoon won't even fit.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Do you lift the jar from underneath, using the spoon?
0:21:50 > 0:21:53No, that won't work. Here's how.
0:21:53 > 0:21:59Simply tap the jar on the table a couple of times and then push
0:21:59 > 0:22:03the handle of the spoon down the jar as far down as possible.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Give it some welly, Katherine.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Then pull the spoon up and the rice will contract against it,
0:22:10 > 0:22:11lifting up the jar.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14That's a great trick for you to take away.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Talking of takeaway, that's made me hungry.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Both plugs want to be in...
0:22:24 > 0:22:26We've already seen technological untruths
0:22:26 > 0:22:30and well designed magic at the museum and now it's James' turn.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Right, now, technology moves so fast sometimes
0:22:34 > 0:22:36it's difficult to keep up with it.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Every two seconds there's a new phone or a new gadget.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43And part of my job is to stay one step ahead with the technology.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48Now, this is our prototype 3D scanner.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51OK, so 3D scanner, that sounds plausible.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54At home you might have a scanner, put a bit of paper in it.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57But this one can scan three dimensions.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00So you can put objects in it, like toys,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02and make a copy of that and store it on a computer.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04They totally buy James' disguise
0:23:04 > 0:23:07and I think they'd like to buy the scanner.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09This is one of our top-secret ones at the moment,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11because this one does something special.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- Do you want to know what that thing is?- Yeah!
0:23:13 > 0:23:16They'll soon find out what's special about it. It's magic.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19OK, well, this one, as well as doing inanimate objects,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21this one also does living things.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25So it's a bit more advanced. It can do plants and animals.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Even humans.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29And that's what we're going to do today with help of Andrew.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Come on, Andrew.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Andrew, remember, is Fergus' alter ego for the tricky trip.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Right, what we're going to do is take the front off this box.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40So obviously it needs to fit something quite big.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- So, Andrew, Andrew, you all right? You all right, bud?- Yeah.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Right get in there and watch your head on the top, go on.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Fergus is climbing into the 3D scanner.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Don't copy that at home, or 3D scan it.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Now, Andrew, it's going to go a little bit dark.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Just putting the front of the box on.- I don't really like the dark.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Bit late to tell James you don't like the dark now, mate.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Now, what we have to think about now is,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05cos Andrew's quite complex in many ways,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07it's important to get all the details right.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09So first of all, he's human.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Like most of you in this room today, he is a human.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Apart from that, we need to get his size.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16So what do you think? Large...
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- Small!- Small?!
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Good job he's small, it's a tight squeeze in there.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Fine. Now, what we're going to do,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25is I'm going to turn the handle here
0:24:25 > 0:24:28and what will happen is the machine now will scan him
0:24:28 > 0:24:30in three dimensions.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Inside the...
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Whoa, what's happening?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39It's flat-packed Fergus. That's not quite right?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Um...all right, settle down, settle down!
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- That's 2D! - They're right, he's in 2D.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Didn't James say this was a 3D scanner?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49That's not quite what I had in mind there.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Um...but it's all right, it's all right.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Look, cos if you remember,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56that's not actually Andrew - it's just a copy.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01See, Andrew luckily is safe and sound inside the box, look.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02There he is.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07Eh, he's disappeared! They can't believe it! Where's he gone?
0:25:08 > 0:25:12James has gone in for a closer inspection. Definitely not in there.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Right, no, it's all right, it's all right.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16I know what I've done.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19What I've done is this, look, see...
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Maybe that 2D pic IS Fergus. - I had it set on 2D.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24I think what we'd be able to do is if we reverse the process...
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Put that on 3D and give him a little wind in,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29hopefully what'll happen is reverse the process.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32James is winding Fergus in and winding the class up.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35..which should mean that the internal gubbins of the machine
0:25:35 > 0:25:39on the X, Y and Z axis should mean that we're OK now.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42So hopefully...
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Oh, there he is.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Phew! We had more of the series left to film. Good job he's back!
0:25:47 > 0:25:48He looks a bit dishevelled.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Sorry about that, sorry about that.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Oh, ooh, watch yourself, watch yourself.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Oh, your glasses are all wonky there.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57They SCAN do magic, now they should tell the truth.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58Thank you, Mr Comran.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Now, we actually have a confession for you
0:26:02 > 0:26:05here at the Design Museum today.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09We don't really work here.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14And we are both magicians
0:26:14 > 0:26:18and...there is a hidden camera there,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21and there's a hidden camera there, and there's a hidden camera there
0:26:21 > 0:26:23and you've all been set up by your school
0:26:23 > 0:26:26and you're going to be on CBBC's "Help! My School Trip Is Magic!"
0:26:27 > 0:26:29No wonder they're excited!
0:26:29 > 0:26:32This 3D magic has taken them into another dimension.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40That trick was totally radical.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41The machine now...
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Fergus went into the 3D scanner, but came out flat.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Where did the original go?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49My favourite bit was when he disappeared
0:26:49 > 0:26:53and I was surprised, because I didn't know where he went.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Inside the box, look...
0:26:56 > 0:26:58He vanished, but James had a plan.
