0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's a brand new term and CBBC has sent these four magicians
0:00:04 > 0:00:06back to school.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10They're pretending to be supply teachers so that they can perform
0:00:10 > 0:00:14amazing magic on unsuspecting classes.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16But because you know and love them,
0:00:16 > 0:00:18this time we've cunningly disguised them.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25Then we hid secret cameras all over classrooms
0:00:25 > 0:00:28and watched as they taught spectacular lessons.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31It was flying around, like a magic saucer.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34That was sick.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39It's more magic, it's more outrageous...
0:00:39 > 0:00:40I was just flabbergasted.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43..but how long will it take before the classes shout...?
0:00:49 > 0:00:54Hello, it's me, Iain. We're back to school and it's a new term.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57It's Help! My Supply Teacher Is Still Magic.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58You could say it's
0:00:58 > 0:01:03"Help! My Supply Teacher is Magic 2: Deeper Undercover."
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Once again, we've swapped regular teachers with magicians,
0:01:06 > 0:01:10and because we know you know them, we've sneakily disguised them.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13We've secretly filmed the results with special cameras,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15hidden in the classrooms.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Yeah, we're trickier than a million and one trick ponies
0:01:18 > 0:01:20learning their second trick.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23We're also showing you loads of great tricks - like this.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27HARMONICA PLAYS
0:01:27 > 0:01:28They're playing cards!
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Play the clips.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Fergus is undercover in this class of year fours.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40The lesson is enlightening, but how is he doing this electrickery?
0:01:41 > 0:01:44John spends time getting up close and magical.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Plus, you've been sending in clips of all your best magic tricks
0:01:48 > 0:01:51and later on I'll be picking my favourite.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Yes, the wannabe wizards are back, and they're way more wizardy.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56But first...
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Do you think you'd be able to tell if your teacher started doing magic?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Do you?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04This is Katherine. She can bend spoons.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06She can bend minds, too.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10The disguise is on, but what time is it? It's magic time.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Entering year five, they don't know it yet, but Katherine's about to
0:02:17 > 0:02:20give them a lesson that defies the laws of physics.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23They haven't recognised her or spotted the cameras
0:02:23 > 0:02:25hidden in their school hall,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28but soon there'll be no hiding their excitement.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Now, today, we're doing a science lesson and we're going
0:02:31 > 0:02:36to be learning all about different forms of matter.
0:02:36 > 0:02:42Now, scientists have invented a very, very cool spray,
0:02:42 > 0:02:46which is very new and it changes one form of matter into another.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51And this atom spray actually changes solid matter
0:02:51 > 0:02:54into a softer type of matter, so it's a bit like a liquid.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Magic fib alert!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Atom spray is not real, it's made up!
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Because it is so new, it actually only works...
0:03:03 > 0:03:07..on very thin and smooth solid objects, like glass.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11So I've got this pane of glass that we're going to try this out on.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Now, just to make sure that it stays in place,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18we've got this frame to keep it sturdy.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19There we go.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24And what I'm going to attempt to do is to push this giant needle
0:03:24 > 0:03:28with the ribbon all the way through.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Now, that seems pretty impossible, doesn't it?
0:03:30 > 0:03:31- ALL:- Yeah.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33It does sound impossible, because this is a trick.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Let's see if we can get this to work.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39So, the first thing we have to do is to spray....
0:03:40 > 0:03:42..with the atom spray,
0:03:42 > 0:03:46and rub it into the glass, like that, so it's all nicely covered.
0:03:46 > 0:03:52Now, it does take some time for the spray to work,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55but before we try and push the needle in,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I'm just going to place this safety panel on the front,
0:03:57 > 0:04:01just in case the glass shatters and we don't want it to go everywhere.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03It's safety first when it comes to magic.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07OK, so let's see if we can get this to work.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08TAPPING ON GLASS
0:04:08 > 0:04:12OK, so at the moment you can hear it's still solid, can't you?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14But, actually, I can feel it getting softer.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Oooh.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21THEY GASP
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Oh, look at that!
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Wow!
0:04:23 > 0:04:26The ribbon passes all the way through.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Let's try it again and see if we can get it to work.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30So, it's still solid and, oh...
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Wow!
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- CLASS:- Wow!
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Totally amazing trick!
0:04:37 > 0:04:40And the class still don't suspect a thing!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Now, let's try the other side, as well.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45So, again we're just going to put the safety panel up,
0:04:45 > 0:04:49just to make sure that nobody gets hurt.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51OK, let's try it again.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Now, if you listen really carefully,
0:04:53 > 0:04:56you might be able to hear the density changing.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57TAPPING
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Can you hear that? - CLASS:- Yeah.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Do you hear that? And look, it's gone all the way through.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- CLASS:- Woah!
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Until I put the last one through there, let's have a go.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Yep, and again it's going all the way through the glass.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Now, this formula only works for a short space of time.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21So, before the ribbons get stuck inside the glass,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23what I'm going to do is take it out...
0:05:24 > 0:05:27..and so, the ribbon, I can see it melting through the glass now.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31It can't really melt through glass, it's all part of the amazing trick.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34And the glass remains in one piece.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Isn't it? Thank you.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39They love it, and they don't even know it's magic yet!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41And it's about to get better.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Now, I thought today I would try and do something
0:05:44 > 0:05:45more impressive for you.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47So, I brought with me today...
0:05:49 > 0:05:50..this.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Which is a huge mirror. Now...
0:05:56 > 0:05:59They love it, cos they can see the real stars of the show in it!
0:05:59 > 0:06:02What I'm going to attempt to do today is
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I'm going to attempt to walk through the mirror.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Now, the reason I think this is going to work
0:06:08 > 0:06:10is because this mirror, like the glass,
0:06:10 > 0:06:14is very smooth and it's very thin, so the atom spray should still work.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Remember, atom spray is not real,
0:06:16 > 0:06:20so don't even try walking through mirrors - it would hurt.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Now, Miss Brown, if you wouldn't mind,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25what I'd like you to do
0:06:25 > 0:06:29is to hold on to this safety blanket for me,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32and when I ask you to, what I want you to do is just pass it to me
0:06:32 > 0:06:35and then roll it to the floor, so the mirror is completely covered.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Miss Brown is posing as a teaching assistant,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40but, really, she's a magician's assistant.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44First thing we need to do is just spray the cloth
0:06:44 > 0:06:48and make sure the mirror is all covered in the atom spray,
0:06:48 > 0:06:50like this.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58Now, just as the glass, it does take some time to work,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00so you're going to have to be really patient with me.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02First of all,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04I'm going to place my hands through the holes,
0:07:04 > 0:07:10so I'm just putting my right arm in, like this, and my left hand.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13So, can everyone see my hands?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- CLASS:- Yeah.- Yeah? Can everyone see my feet tapping?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- CLASS:- Yeah.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Brilliant, OK. Miss Brown, if you could pass me the blanket,
0:07:22 > 0:07:27that'll be perfect, and then roll it all the way down to the floor,
0:07:27 > 0:07:29so the mirror is completely covered.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Brilliant, thank you.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Now, as I said, the mirror does stay hard for some time,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39it takes a little while for it to get soft,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42but I feel like it's getting a little bit softer,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45so I'm going try and attempt to pass all the way through it.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46This I have to see.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I know it's magic, but it's still sounds impressive!
0:07:49 > 0:07:51OK, on the count of three.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55One, two, three.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00THEY GASP
0:08:00 > 0:08:03What?! Katherine walked through the mirror!
0:08:03 > 0:08:07She's about to tell them the truth, but they haven't seen it coming.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Do you want to hear a secret?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- CLASS:- Yeah.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13OK, that actually wasn't science.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18What happened is you've all been set up by your teachers and your parents
0:08:18 > 0:08:21and there's a hidden camera over there,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23and there's a hidden camera over there,
0:08:23 > 0:08:27because you're all going to be on Help! My Supply Teacher Is Magic!
0:08:27 > 0:08:29EXCITED SHOUTING
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Katherine's atomic spray trick was powerful stuff,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36but how did it move the class?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38She put the atom spray on
0:08:38 > 0:08:43and then she put the needle through the glass.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46They loved the needle trick, but the magic got even sharper.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50The greatest trick was when she got through that mirror.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52..three.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58She walked through the mirror, and she came out the other side.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02An incredible trick,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05and the class had no idea Katherine was a magician.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07How long would it take for you to shout...
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Later on, you'll see what happened
0:09:15 > 0:09:17when Fergus went undercover at another school.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21He's doing a trick with a balloon, but will the class get carried away?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23..right back down into my hand.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Right now, though, John is at a car museum
0:09:27 > 0:09:29and he's about to get up close and magical.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35We're going to do a little card trick
0:09:35 > 0:09:37and I need somebody to help me.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Would you mind helping me with this one, Ross?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Wonderful. Would you just pick a card for me, just take any card.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Just dive in and have a card, any one at all.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Wonderful. What I'd like you to do for me, if you would, please,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50is to sign your name across the card.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Nice and big, big, bold letters, Ross. Excellent.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Now, Ross, be perfectly honest, is that card unique?
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Yes.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00There's no other card in the world like that one.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03We're going to try something unique, with your unique card.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I'm going to take your card
0:10:05 > 0:10:07and place it in the middle of the deck about here...
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Remember, Ross has marked that card that's going in the deck.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Would you mind holding the cards, Matthew?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Just put them on your hand, then put the other hand on top.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Wonderful. In a moment I'll ask you to shuffle those cards for me,
0:10:18 > 0:10:21and when you've shuffled the cards, I have got a prediction
0:10:21 > 0:10:23in my wallet, and the prediction in my wallet
0:10:23 > 0:10:27says exactly where your card will be in that deck.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29So, give them a little shuffle for me.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33That's enough, I'm happy, are you happy?
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- Mm-hmm.- Wonderful, shall we have a look at the prediction?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Inside my wallet there's a little zip, a zippered compartment,
0:10:40 > 0:10:42a secret little place where I keep my prediction,
0:10:42 > 0:10:44and inside there is my prediction.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47And my prediction says...
0:10:47 > 0:10:49it's in here.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Would that be amazing?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54The card that you picked and that you signed
0:10:54 > 0:10:56is no longer in the deck, but it's in here,
0:10:56 > 0:10:57- would that be good?- I need proof.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01You need proof! We all need proof! That's what we survive on!
0:11:01 > 0:11:03We survive on proof, Ross!
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Take the envelope. What was your card?- Jack of hearts.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Jack of hearts. Tear it open.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- I'm excited, are you excited? - Yeah.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Is that your signature?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Yeah.- Cool!
0:11:17 > 0:11:18I need to check the deck.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Check the deck, yeah, cos you might have signed two(!) Urgh!
0:11:21 > 0:11:23He's checking the deck, he's checking the deck,
0:11:23 > 0:11:24check the deck,
0:11:24 > 0:11:27see if there's another one like this with the same signature.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32Wow, he's not easily impressed, this Ross. Has John met his match?
0:11:32 > 0:11:33- Was that good?- Yeah.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Yes, he likes it. Phew!
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Get me a coffee!
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Don't know about coffee - John needs a lie down!
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Ross wrote his signature on the Jack of hearts
0:11:43 > 0:11:47and it disappeared from the pack and appeared in his wallet instead.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- Is that your signature?- Yeah.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52It was really, really awesome.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Really, really epic.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Now James is going to set you a magical challenge
0:11:56 > 0:11:57in Tricks Of The Trade.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00If you fancy yourself as a magician,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03here's a trick you can try on your mates.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07James has four beakers of water, a tray,
0:12:07 > 0:12:11four rolled-up playing cards and four hard boiled eggs.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13That's hard boiled eggs, not raw.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Remind you of anyone?
0:12:16 > 0:12:20With the table set up like this...
0:12:20 > 0:12:23James will show you how to get one egg in each beaker,
0:12:23 > 0:12:28while only touching one object and without breaking any of the eggs.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Can you work out how to do it?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Keep watching and you'll find out later in the show.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35It's going to be incredible.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Right now, we have something amazing for you.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42This is the interactive illusion.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44This is a trick where you can take part at home.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47So, come on, get up and come right next to the television,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50you need to be close enough to touch the screen if you want to join in.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52But don't worry, John's brushed his teeth.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I say brushed - he left them in water overnight.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Here he is.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Now, we're going to do a trick using 12 major cities.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07They are...
0:13:17 > 0:13:20You're going to put your finger here
0:13:20 > 0:13:24and move around the pictures, like this.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26First of all, I want you to think of a secret number
0:13:26 > 0:13:29between five and 15.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32That's any number between five and 15.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Now, starting here,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38you're going to move your finger around the pictures the same amount
0:13:38 > 0:13:41of times as your secret number.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46So, if your secret number was six, you'd move six times, like this.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48One, two, three,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51four, five, six.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Remember, starting here,
0:13:53 > 0:13:58move your finger the same amount of times equal to your secret number
0:13:58 > 0:14:01and when you've reached that number, stop.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Do that now.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06One, two, three...
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Perfect, stay right where you are.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21Now, move in the other direction, the same number you just moved.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26That's moving this way the same amount equal to your secret number.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28You ready?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30OK, one, two...
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Now, leave your finger at your new place.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48Now, I know you're not thinking of Oslo, Berlin, Tokyo or New York,
0:14:48 > 0:14:50so I'll remove those.
0:14:51 > 0:14:57Now, you can move four times, either this way or this way.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58That's four times.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00You ready?
0:15:00 > 0:15:04One, two, three, four.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Keep your finger there.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11Now, I know you're not thinking of Athens, Dublin or London.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Keep your finger touching the screen
0:15:14 > 0:15:16and concentrate on the city you're touching.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20I think you've chosen Paris.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Bonjour, mes enfants! Au revoir!
0:15:24 > 0:15:25That's French.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Did it work for you?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Wow! Well, the quantity of magic is exhausting
0:15:31 > 0:15:34and the quality has been eye-popping.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38In fact, it's made my eyes ache, so I think I've earned a sit down.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40But before I do, let's have a look at what's coming up.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42It's all kinds of ridiculousness.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Katherine gets up close and magical to award this badge.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Isn't that cool?
0:15:49 > 0:15:53James will reveal his secret in Tricks Of The Trade.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Have you worked it out yet?
0:15:56 > 0:16:00And watch what happens when Fergus goes undercover in another school.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Will he fool the class,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04or will they realise their supply teacher is still magic?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06You've done it!
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Oooh!
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Each week, I'm bringing you another of my new favourite
0:16:11 > 0:16:15magic movers and shakers doing tricks in their own cribs, yards
0:16:15 > 0:16:16and front rooms.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18We call them the Wannabe Wizards.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21So, I've got my comfy chair...
0:16:22 > 0:16:25..I've got my computer to watch the magic on...
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Oh, I nearly I forgot my 2D glasses.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Let's do this, already!
0:16:30 > 0:16:33We asked you to send in clips of yourself
0:16:33 > 0:16:35performing your best magic tricks.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38We received loads of clips from all over the country.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Each week I'll be choosing a favourite Wannabe Wizard
0:16:40 > 0:16:42and showing them to you guys.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45My Wannabe Wizard this time is Leo from East Yorkshire,
0:16:45 > 0:16:48and he's going to use his hoodie to hoodwink you.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Hi, my name's Leo, this is my one coin routine.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55I need one coin, you see, just keep it there, you go....
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Like that, you see? You get the first coin.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58This is the idea though,
0:16:58 > 0:17:019if you just take it, give it a little rub, you see it vanishes,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03but I can just get it back again.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06The idea of coin magic, you've just got to watch really carefully,
0:17:06 > 0:17:07so keep your eye on it, you ready?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Whoa, wait a second!
0:17:11 > 0:17:13The coin jumped into his other hand!
0:17:13 > 0:17:15OK, he'll go again.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16This is it coming back again.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19This time, just make you watch really carefully, just watch, ready?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21All you do is give it a little rub, you see it vanishes.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23You see, it completely goes.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Right. Shall we see?
0:17:25 > 0:17:26It's just there.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29So watch really carefully, see that time, it just goes up there.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33That's so quick! We can see it again in slo-mo.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35There's the coin in his left hand,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38now it's disappeared!
0:17:38 > 0:17:41It's not in that hand, or that hand.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Where is it?!
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Oh, there it is, in his hoodie.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48One coin going up...
0:17:48 > 0:17:50You see that time it just goes up there.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53But watch what we'll do, we'll do it a bit differently this time,
0:17:53 > 0:17:55we'll take it, touch it to there and it jumps over to there.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Take it here, all you have to do, give it a blow, snap it into two.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Rub it...
0:18:01 > 0:18:02and that vanishes.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Whoa! Let's get a rewind on that bit!
0:18:05 > 0:18:07We'll do it a bit differently this time, we'll take it,
0:18:07 > 0:18:09touch it to there and it jumps over to there.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Take it here, all you have to do, give it a blow, snap it into two.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Small change, big trick.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18That's why Leo is my Wannabe Wizard this time.
0:18:18 > 0:18:24Now it's time for James to reveal the secret in Tricks Of The Trade.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26James will show you how to get one of the hard boiled eggs
0:18:26 > 0:18:29into each beaker while only touching one object,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32and without breaking any of the eggs.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Come on, have you worked it out?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Do you use a complicated pulley system?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Nah, not even close.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Here's how you do it.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Hit the side of the tray in one clean sweep
0:18:43 > 0:18:46and the eggs will fall into the beakers.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Go on, James, do it.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Check this out.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Cracking!
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Or not.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Did you get it? Are you amazing already?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Nice one, James.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Eh, come back, mate!
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Now Katherine's at a theme park, getting up close and magical.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Hi, guys.- Hello.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Hello. As you know, we're here filming
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Help! My Supply Teacher is Magic,
0:19:12 > 0:19:16and we've had these new badges made for the new series.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19They're really, really cool, they've got the logo on,
0:19:19 > 0:19:22but what's really cool about them is that they're actually magic.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25And I was wondering, is it OK, Gary, if I pin this badge on you?
0:19:25 > 0:19:26- Indeed.- Is that OK?- It is.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29I'm going to pin it right in the centre there, if that's OK.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- Are you fine with that? - Yep, I'm happy with that.- Cool.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40There we go, and if you could just...
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Careful while you do it, but just tuck in your t-shirt,
0:19:44 > 0:19:45into your trousers.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47I can do that.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51That would be perfect. Brilliant, and now I'm just going to
0:19:51 > 0:19:56literally fold up the badge, like that, into your t-shirt,
0:19:56 > 0:20:00so it's completely wrapped up, and then all I want you to do
0:20:00 > 0:20:04is just push with your hand on the badge and just begin to rub
0:20:04 > 0:20:06and you could begin to feel something strange happening.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Keep on rubbing.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I see what he's doing there, but can he pat his head at the same time?
0:20:11 > 0:20:15And it should begin to feel as if something's happening.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Loosen up a little bit.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17Something magic's happening.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Let go, let's see if it's worked.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Look, it looks as though the badge has disappeared, can you see that?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26It looks as though it's completely gone.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29But what's happened is the badge has actually melted
0:20:29 > 0:20:30all the way through your t-shirt.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32So if you un-tuck your t-shirt,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34be very careful cos the badge is going to fall out.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Look at that, isn't that cool?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- How did that happen?- Erm...
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Wow.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43How does that work?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46No idea.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Magic.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I think that trick was amazing.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55Katherine pinned it to my uncle's shirt, then my uncle had to rub it,
0:20:55 > 0:20:58and then it sort of just sunk through the shirt.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59It's amazing.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Katherine asked me to help with that trick.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07But I misheard her and got hold of these.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Well, she did say, "Get some badges made up."
0:21:09 > 0:21:12What can I do with these? I've got 3,000 in the van.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- BADGERS SQUEAK - Oh, sorry.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17OK, it's time for more school magic,
0:21:17 > 0:21:19and now it's Fergus pretending to be a supply teacher
0:21:19 > 0:21:21and trying to fool another class.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24The disguise is on, the hidden cameras are set.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Enter year four. They don't know it yet, but Fergus is about to do
0:21:30 > 0:21:33some magic involving static electricity that's shockingly good.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37None of them have noticed the hidden cameras
0:21:37 > 0:21:40or recognised Fergus with his trendy glasses on.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43But will the class be able to keep their cool when the magic begins?
0:21:45 > 0:21:50Right, class, today we're going to be talking about static electricity.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53So, who knows what static electricity is?
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Static electricity refers to an electrical charge
0:21:57 > 0:22:00in or around the surface of an object.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04So, for example, if I take this balloon and I rub it on my top,
0:22:04 > 0:22:06that creates something called friction.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Now, friction creates heat, heat creates energy
0:22:10 > 0:22:14and energy transfers to something called static electricity.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17All science, no fiction so far.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20They still think he's a teacher, so his mission's on course.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22So, some of you may have done this before.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25If I take the balloon now and it's now charged with static,
0:22:25 > 0:22:29I can place it against the wall and it will...
0:22:29 > 0:22:31stick.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33That's cool, but it's not magic yet.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Today, I've bought with me something called static cloth.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40That's not static cloth, it's just a piece of carpet,
0:22:40 > 0:22:44and Fergus is about to pull the wool over this class's eyes.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49Now, static cloth holds a greater static charge than any other material
0:22:49 > 0:22:52you guys will have come across before and it's very hard to get hold of.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56But, it's remarkable, and I'm going to show you some remarkable things
0:22:56 > 0:22:58with this today. Do you want to see?
0:22:58 > 0:22:59- CLASS:- Yes.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Yes! Right, on the ceiling, there is a helium balloon.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Now, who's had a helium balloon before?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Have you ever let it go? CLASS:- Yeah.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- And what happens? - It just flies off.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13It flies off and it's really annoying, especially, you know,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16if you've spent money on it at the fair, you want to get it back.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Now, what you need to do is get yourself some static cloth.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Remember static cloth is not real, it's all part of the trick.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Watch what happens if I start to rub my static cloth.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28It builds up that same friction and that same static
0:23:28 > 0:23:31that I was talking about earlier.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34So, now, if I hold my hand up towards the balloon,
0:23:34 > 0:23:35this is remarkable, watch.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Look, it comes all the way, right back down into my hand.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46That was gravity defying magic, but there's more coming up.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47Wouldn't it be great
0:23:47 > 0:23:51if we could transfer that static charge into powering an object?
0:23:51 > 0:23:55So, not just to move an object or to bring an object towards you,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58but actually to power an object. That would be amazing, wouldn't it?
0:23:58 > 0:23:59- CLASS:- Yeah.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Now, static charge is quite weak,
0:24:01 > 0:24:06so it can only power small objects for a small amount of time.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- Will you guys help me on this one? CLASS:- Yeah.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Yeah? Fantastic. So, I've got a piece of static cloth.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Now, there's quite a lot of you here,
0:24:15 > 0:24:19so if you share between three of you, so if you share between threes.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24One, two. One piece of static for you, one piece of static for you.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Fergus makes a convincing teacher.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29The class still believe this is a real lesson.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34And that'll do nicely, perfect. OK, what I'd like you to do
0:24:34 > 0:24:38is place one hand on your static cloth and one hand towards me,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41so facing up towards me.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Now, in a moment, I'm going to get you to start rubbing
0:24:44 > 0:24:48that static cloth and generate your own static charge.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50That's going to travel through your body
0:24:50 > 0:24:53and you're going to send that static charge towards me.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55They're not, but they think they are.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58I'm so excited my hair's standing on end!
0:24:58 > 0:25:02So, in this bag, I have got a lightbulb.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Now, I said it must be a small object,
0:25:04 > 0:25:08so we're going to try together to power this object.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10With enough of you doing it and enough of you doing it properly,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13this should work. Wouldn't that be amazing?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- CLASS:- Yeah.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18It would be amazing. That's because it would be magic.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20So, with one hand facing towards me,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23everyone start rubbing your static cloth now, off you go.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Go, go, go! Keep pushing that static towards me!
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Come on, come on.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Keep going, keep going, keep going!
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Oh! You've done it!
0:25:38 > 0:25:41The class think they've made the lightbulb light up
0:25:41 > 0:25:44by rubbing the static cloth, but it's magic!
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Guys, well done. Stop there. Excellent, give yourselves a clap!
0:25:51 > 0:25:55You managed to generate enough static charge to actually send it
0:25:55 > 0:25:57to light a lightbulb!
0:25:57 > 0:25:59That is incredible.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04It is incredible. And now it's time to let them all in on the secret.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Now, there is such thing as static charge,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10and you all know there's such thing as electricity, right?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13But not to the degrees that I've shown you today,
0:26:13 > 0:26:15not to the degrees you've witnessed today,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18and there is a very, very simple reason for that.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21It's cos I'm not really a teacher.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23I'm actually a magician...
0:26:24 > 0:26:26..and all of you in this classroom
0:26:26 > 0:26:29have been set up by your teachers here, by your headmaster,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32and right now there is a camera in that box there,
0:26:32 > 0:26:35there's a camera in that box there, there's a camera in that corner,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38and you're all being filmed for a CBBC show called
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Help! My Supply Teacher is Magic!
0:26:41 > 0:26:43THEY SCREAM
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Fergus's static trick has electrified the class.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50They're buzzing with excitement.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- You could even say they're- ecstatic.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55But what did they say?
0:26:55 > 0:26:59I was thinking, like, "Whoa, how is that happening?"
0:26:59 > 0:27:03He put his hand near the balloon and it came down.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06The balloon came down, but the magic went up a gear.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08The light just went on blue.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Keep going! Oh! You've done it!
0:27:11 > 0:27:15It was like magic, I never thought it could really happen.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20An amazing trick and this class didn't realise.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I tried that trick at home.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33I took a piece from under the rug so mum won't notice.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Don't try that at your home.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Maybe your grandma's.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39See you later, guys, but until then,
0:27:39 > 0:27:42if you're at school and you think something magical's occurring,
0:27:42 > 0:27:44maybe you'll find yourself shouting,
0:27:44 > 0:27:48"Help! My Supply Teacher's Still Magic!"
