0:00:02 > 0:00:03It's a new term
0:00:03 > 0:00:06and CBBC has sent these four magicians back to school.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09They're pretending to be supply teachers
0:00:09 > 0:00:13so that they can perform amazing magic on unsuspecting classes.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15But because you know and love them,
0:00:15 > 0:00:18this time we've cunningly disguised them.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Then we hid secret cameras all over the classrooms
0:00:25 > 0:00:28and watched as they taught spectacular lessons.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Went 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 > 0:00:43But how long will it take before the classes shout...
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Hello, it's me, Iain!
0:00:51 > 0:00:53We're back to school for a new term.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58It's "Help! My Supply Teacher Is STILL Magic". You could say it's...
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- IN BOOMING VOICE: - Help! My Supply Teacher Is Magic 2:
0:01:01 > 0:01:03The Classroom Of Secrets.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Once again we've swapped regular teachers with magicians.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11And because you know them, we've disguised them.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13We've filmed the results with special cameras
0:01:13 > 0:01:15hidden in the classrooms.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Yes, we're smarter than a freshly ironed smartphone.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22We'll also show you loads of other great tricks.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Tricks like this. It's my snake-charming trick.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Watch this.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38What did you do THAT for?!
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Just watch the clips.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45James is undercover in this class of Year 4s.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48He's doing a trick using this antenna,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50but will the class be on his wavelength?
0:01:50 > 0:01:56Fergus gets up close and magical to tie your brain in knots.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Plus, you've been sending in clips of all your best magic tricks.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02And later on, I will be picking my favourite.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04It's the Wannabe Wizards, and you're going to be wowed.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06But first...
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Do you think you'd be able to tell if your teacher started doing magic?
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Do you?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14This is James.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17His magical skills are enough to do your head in.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22The disguise is in place, the hidden cameras are set.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Keep your hair on, James.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26That's better.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Enter Year 4. They don't know it yet,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35but James is about to give them a magical lesson about navigation
0:02:35 > 0:02:37that will make them lose their minds.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41None of them have noticed the hidden cameras or recognised James.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44But how long will it be before they place him as a magician?
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Now, I am from a local university.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53And my students have been working on a really, really exciting project
0:02:53 > 0:02:56for the last three years - a long, long time.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59It's a GPS device which enables you
0:02:59 > 0:03:03to track all of your possessions all the time.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05James is making this all up,
0:03:05 > 0:03:07but they still believe he's from the university.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10We've been using something called nanotechnology,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12which is really, really small.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Eventually it'll fit into a smartphone, like this.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17It'll fit into the phone.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22Unfortunately, we haven't quite got it that small yet.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25It's a bit bigger than first intended, but this is it.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Would you like to see a demonstration?- Yeah!
0:03:28 > 0:03:29OK, excellent.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Then, we must put our phone in the dock, like that,
0:03:33 > 0:03:34and then just turn it on.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Excellent, the light's on there. And this is the most important bit.
0:03:37 > 0:03:44We've got an antenna which picks up the items that we've lost.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Now, could you help me? What's your name?- Alfie.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Alfie, would you like to come up and help me?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52If you could just stand here, that would be great.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55In a minute I need you to do a very, very important job.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59In this box I have a number of items that I've brought from home.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02There's a globe in there, there's a dinosaur, a car.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06What I'd like you to do is, I'm going to turn my back, OK?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10When I turn my back, I would like you to open the box,
0:04:10 > 0:04:15take out any object, hold it up for everybody to see,
0:04:15 > 0:04:17and then put the object behind your back
0:04:17 > 0:04:20and put the lid back on the box so I don't know what's missing.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Does that make sense?- Yes.- Great, OK. So, if you open the box...
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Remember, James can't see what he's choosing
0:04:25 > 0:04:27and the GPS app is not real.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32He's got the red plastic strawberry -
0:04:32 > 0:04:35only you, me and the class know that.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37And then if you put the lid back on the box
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- and put the item behind your back. Have you done that?- Yes.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Is it safe for me to turn around, everybody?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Yes.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46OK, now you have an item behind your back
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- and you all know what it is?- Yeah. - Well, nobody tell me.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Now, we need to calibrate it,
0:04:51 > 0:04:54which means we need to set the device to the items in the box.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57So we do this...
0:04:57 > 0:04:59That... Yeah.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02James is pretending that the device can read the box.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07But if this is not real, how's he going to know what Alfie's chosen?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09OK, and then I need to calibrate it.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- Yeah.- You've just...- OK, OK, I think I got it! I think it's...
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I think the object... First of all, it comes up very blurry at first.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22But I think... I think the object is red. Is it red?
0:05:22 > 0:05:27- Yes!- I'm getting a reading of red. - It is red. Has he read his mind?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30The class are impressed, but don't suspect a thing.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35This is quite a hard object. Is this the red strawberry?
0:05:35 > 0:05:40- Yes!- The red strawberry. Isn't that amazing? Shall we try this again?
0:05:40 > 0:05:45- Yeah.- OK, but this time why don't we make it a little bit more difficult?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- Yes.- Yeah? So what I would like to do this time is, Alfie...
0:05:48 > 0:05:50You can put that back in the box.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54This time I want you to give it to anybody in the class.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Don't choose them yet, choose them later. Does that make sense?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59And then you can take your seat again.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Everybody else, what I need you to do is,
0:06:01 > 0:06:05when I turn round, everybody has their hands underneath the desk.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- Does everybody know what they have to do?- Yeah!
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Alfie, do you know what you have to do?- Yes.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13OK, so I turn my back, you open the box.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Take an item.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Show everybody in the class what it is, make sure that everybody sees.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24He's got the bracelet, and James can't see it.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27And then put the lid back on the box.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30And then go and give it to anybody in the room, anybody you want.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36OK, have we all got our hands underneath the table?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- Yeah.- OK, can I turn round?
0:06:38 > 0:06:45- Yeah.- All right, so first of all I need to find out where...the...
0:06:47 > 0:06:50..object...
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Excellent, so...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55One of the class is holding the object.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57The rest are holding their breath.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Yeah.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05BUZZING, LAUGHTER
0:07:05 > 0:07:07No, no, no, no, no, no.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Now I'm getting a read... Oh, wait.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16This... No, no, it's not.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Your name begins with M, the person who has this doesn't.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23ALL: Ooh!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Is your... Your name is...Marlon?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- THEY GASP - It IS Marlon! How did he know his name?!
0:07:30 > 0:07:32That's amazing, James.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35It's not you, you don't have the object.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37But who has the bracelet and where?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Ah, it's very, very strong over here.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44Very, very strong in this side of the room.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49You don't have it. Ah...
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Your name begins with a Z. THEY GASP AND SHOUT
0:07:56 > 0:08:00And you have the object - you're Zana?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03And wait, wait, wait, don't tell me what it is.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05This is the best bit.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Your name is Zana, you have a bracelet. Can you show everybody?
0:08:09 > 0:08:13He's right. But how did that happen without the app?!
0:08:13 > 0:08:14I can't work it out.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17So, now can I see the bracelet?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19My supply teacher is magic!
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Oh, I heard someone say it then. They're starting to work it out.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Now, class...
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Would you like me to tell you how it works?
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Yes.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30OK, well, we didn't actually make this three years ago.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34We actually made this about three weeks ago,
0:08:34 > 0:08:36and this...
0:08:36 > 0:08:40This does nothing, because you are all being filmed
0:08:40 > 0:08:44for Help! My Supply Teacher Is Magic!
0:08:47 > 0:08:51James's navigation trick has sent the class round the bend.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53But did it warp their minds?
0:08:53 > 0:08:54I actually believed it
0:08:54 > 0:08:57and then I thought it was going to be really good.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I didn't think it was going to be a magic trick.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03I really believed him, from the whole thing.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05The device was quite incredible.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09It WAS incredible. It seemed like it could even locate people.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Is your... Your name is...
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Marlon?
0:09:14 > 0:09:18I was quite amazed how he knew everyone's names.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22And then James found a hidden object using magic.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24You have a bracelet.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Can you show everybody?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28The best trick ever.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31The class were "GPS-stounded" and it took them a while
0:09:31 > 0:09:33to realise James was a magician.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35How long will it take for YOU to shout...
0:09:41 > 0:09:42Later on you'll see what happened
0:09:42 > 0:09:45when John went undercover in another school.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Will his percussion lesson leave them shaking?- Look at this.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50ALL: Whoa!
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Right now, rock-steady Fergus is getting up close and magical.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I've got two rubber bands
0:09:57 > 0:09:59that I'd like you to have a look at.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01So, you have a look at that one,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03and you have a look at that one.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Make sure they're normal, they don't come apart.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09And, Nina, do you have a note on you, like a £5, £10, £20 note?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Doesn't really matter.- £20 note.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Lovely, if you just hold on to that for a second.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Could you pop that rubber band back on that finger there?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Forefinger, lovely. And could you put that one on my ring finger?
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Fantastic.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23And if you watch closely, Daniel, if I put this hand through
0:10:23 > 0:10:26and stretch out, can you see
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I've now got four little steps of rubber band, right?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- Yeah.- Yeah, good.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Could you take that £20 note and could you fold it lengthways?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- That's it, yeah.- Yeah. - And then in half again, perfect.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42And could you thread it onto the very bottom band?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Like that?- That's it, brilliant.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Could you do me a favour, can you hold onto that £20 note, Daniel?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Watch very carefully.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54The £20 is on the bottom of the ladder of rubber bands.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Now, to get that £20 note up to this band,
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Daniel would have to let go of the £20 note,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03we'd have to unthread it and then thread it onto this one, right?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Yeah.- But watch. By magic, one, two, three.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- We can move it up...- Cor! - ..one of the bands.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Keep holding on tight. Watch the middle of this band.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17One, two, three, and it goes up again.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- That's cool.- Watch it go through...
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Your note melt through to the top on the final band.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25One, two, three...
0:11:25 > 0:11:29and it goes right to the top. How cool is that?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Have a look at the note, make sure that's normal.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Have a look at the rubber bands.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37The £20 note went all the way from the bottom to the top.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Great trick, Fergus.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I thought that trick was fantastic.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I've never seen anything like that before.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46'He used the £20 note
0:11:46 > 0:11:49'and it melted onto the next rubber band. It was amazing.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51'I could never do that.'
0:11:51 > 0:11:55That was the best trick I've ever seen so far.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Amazing.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Fantastico.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Now Katherine is going to set you a magical challenge
0:12:04 > 0:12:05in Tricks Of The Trade.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07If you fancy yourself as a magician,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09here's a trick you can try on your mates.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Katherine has got a plastic bottle and a pen lid.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16After placing the pen lid in the bottle,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19she's going to show you how to get the lid out
0:12:19 > 0:12:21without touching anything.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Can you work out how to do it?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Keep watching and you'll find out later in the show.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28It's going to be incredible.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Right now, we have something amazing for you.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35This is the interactive illusion.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38This is a trick where you could take part at home.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40So, come on, you've to pay close attention.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Get up over here if you want to join in.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45But leave the monkey in the basket.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48That's your baby brother?! Sorry.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Clasp your hands together in front of you, like this.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02Thumbs crossed on the top, and push your palms together nice and tight.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Now, extend your first fingers,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09but keep them apart, like I am.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14Keep pushing your palms together. Excellent.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Whilst you're doing that,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19I'm going to take this invisible string
0:13:19 > 0:13:23and start to wrap it around your fingertips.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26As I wrap the string around your fingertips,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28they'll start to get closer together
0:13:28 > 0:13:33as the invisible string gets tighter and tighter.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Keep pushing your palms together.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39See? Your fingers are moving.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43I'll keep winding, and your fingers will get closer together
0:13:43 > 0:13:47until eventually...they touch.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I'll take off the invisible string,
0:13:50 > 0:13:53and your fingers are back to normal.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55How incredible's that?
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Did it work for you?
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Wow, well, the quantity of the magic is exhausting
0:14:02 > 0:14:05and the quality has been out of this world.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08In fact, it's been SO out of this world
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I'm feeling a little bit weightless.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15But before I float away, I should probably sit down.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18No, but quickly, let's have a look at what's coming up.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20It's all kinds of ridiculousness.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Fergus will make sure you're not at a loose end
0:14:22 > 0:14:25when he gets up close and magical.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Katherine will reveal the secret in Tricks Of The Trade.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Have you worked it out yet?
0:14:30 > 0:14:35And watch what happens when John goes undercover in another school.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Will he fool the class or will they realise
0:14:38 > 0:14:40the supply teacher is still magic?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42HE SIGHS
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Each week I'm bringing you
0:14:43 > 0:14:46another of our new favourite magic movers and shakers
0:14:46 > 0:14:50doing tricks in their own cribs, yards and front rooms.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52We call them the Wannabe Wizards.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55It's time for my favourite bit of the show.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56I've got my comfy chair.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00I've got my hat with a rabbit in it. Innit?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02It isn't.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07And I've got my computer thingy to watch the magic. Let's DO this!
0:15:07 > 0:15:10We asked you to send in clips of yourself
0:15:10 > 0:15:12performing your best magic tricks.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15We received loads of clips from all over the country.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Each week I'll be choosing a favourite Wannabe Wizard
0:15:18 > 0:15:20and showing them to you guys.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23My Wannabe Wizard this time is Greg from Aberdeenshire,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26and he's enlisted his brother for this trick.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Right, would you please say stop at any point?- Stop.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Take the card, show it to the camera and tell me when you're done.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35There's Greg's brother, and he's chosen the king of diamonds.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37OK, now slide it into the deck.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Right there.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Now, I'm going to try and find your card using the sense of touch,
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- which is pretty difficult, so will you give me three goes?- Yep.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49OK. Attempt number one.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Greg didn't see the card,
0:15:51 > 0:15:55but he's trying to pick it out of the deck behind his back.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59I think I've got it, but I can't be sure.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Is that it?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- No.- Is that it?
0:16:06 > 0:16:12- No.- No? What was your card? - King of diamonds.- Oh, I was close.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17I got a king and a diamond. But watch the deck here.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22The rest of the deck vanishes, leaving the king of diamonds.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24King Greg, you're my Wannabe Wizard!
0:16:26 > 0:16:30It's time for Katherine to reveal the secret in Tricks Of The Trade.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Katherine will show you how to get the lid out of this bottle
0:16:34 > 0:16:37without touching it. Come on, have you worked it out yet?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40How many of you got it?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Do you shake the bottle?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Nah, you can't touch it.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Do you tap the end of the bottle?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51You can't touch it, remember - are you not listening?!
0:16:51 > 0:16:54The trick is to place the bottle on the table
0:16:54 > 0:16:56with its neck facing outwards.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Next, get down on the same level as the table,
0:16:59 > 0:17:02then place the pen cap into the neck of the bottle
0:17:02 > 0:17:06so the top of the cap is facing you, like this.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Now, when you blow into it,
0:17:08 > 0:17:13the airflow inside will force the cap out of the bottle.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16The cap is out without you touching it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Now you've all got something to blow your friends' minds.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Next, Fergus has got a rope trick
0:17:22 > 0:17:25and he's about to get tied up close and magical.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- Do you want to see some magic? - Oh, yes!- Yes!
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Super, right. We have got a piece of rope.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33What I'd like you to do is have a look at it.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Stretch it, make sure it doesn't come apart.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Feel along the rope
0:17:37 > 0:17:41and make sure there's no magnets or there's nothing in the rope at all.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44And when you're happy, you can give it back to me.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45- Mmm, yep.- Yeah.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Hmm, very suspicious, brilliant.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51So I want you to say stop...
0:17:51 > 0:17:55When you think I get to the middle of the rope, say stop.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- Stop!- There? Very good.
0:17:59 > 0:18:05So I'm going to take where you said, and I'm going to cut the rope.
0:18:05 > 0:18:11And what that will do is give me two pieces equal in length...
0:18:11 > 0:18:17Oh, not quite. Not quite equal. Oh, no.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- When you boys had it, did it stretch at all?- No.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Watch what happens if I take the short piece against the long piece.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28- Watch, one, two, three. See it stretch?- Yeah!
0:18:28 > 0:18:32So now I've got two pieces exactly the same length.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35But do you know what, this trick works better with just one piece.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40Keep your eye on the ends, right? Keep your eye on the ends.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Keep your eye on there.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45So if you watch very closely, you'll see the moment they come off,
0:18:45 > 0:18:49and then I'm left with a loop and ends, and ends and a loop.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52But don't worry, I worked out exactly how to correct this.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55I just take the ends, and on the count of three,
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I throw them straight back on the rope. One, two, three,
0:18:57 > 0:19:00and they go back on. It's simple, really.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Keep your eye on the middle, though, don't take your eyes off the middle.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- Can you see it there?- I can see that.- And it's firmly on, right?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- Yeah.- Wrong. You see, that comes off.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13The loop's off and so far this trick's been absolutely loopy.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16But just like before, when I threw them back on the rope,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I've learnt with these exactly how to place them
0:19:19 > 0:19:22back onto the middle of the rope.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Did you see them land on?
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Do you know, the hardest thing to do is to actually make the ends travel.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31It's to make them travel. But not just travel, travel invisibly.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34So watch the ends get into my pocket, ready?
0:19:34 > 0:19:39The ends go into my pocket, and on the count of one, two...
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Three. Did you see the ends jump to the top?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Yeah, he just made the ends of the rope
0:19:47 > 0:19:50jump from his pocket to his hand!
0:19:50 > 0:19:52And look, now in my pocket is the middle.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Have a look at it, it doesn't stretch at all. Isn't that amazing?
0:19:56 > 0:20:00That trick WAS amazing, and it's how Fergus makes ends meet.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04He made the ends come off and then he somehow put them back on.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08One, two, three, and they go back on.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10And then he put the ends in his pocket
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- and then the trick was up there. It just swapped.- Yeah.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Did you see the ends jump to the top?
0:20:16 > 0:20:21- I really don't know.- It's amazing. It's amazing how he did it.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Because we've just seen a rope trick, here's me pulling a rope.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26It's pretty powerful stuff.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Yeah? Here's me walking against the wind.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37And then I can also do stuck-in-a-box.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39This is inconvenient.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42And if you close your eyes, that's turning out the lights.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Right, open them now.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46OK, it's time for more school magic,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49and now it's John pretending to be a supply teacher
0:20:49 > 0:20:52and trying to fool another class.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56The hidden cameras are set, the disguise is on.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59But will John's face ring a bell?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01BELL RINGS
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Enter Year 3. They don't know it yet,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06but they're about to get an amazing lesson about percussion
0:21:06 > 0:21:08that will leave them shaken.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12So far, none of them have noticed the hidden cameras in their hall
0:21:12 > 0:21:14or recognised John as our magician.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19But they're about to have a musical lesson that will be a real hit.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22I'm going to give you a lesson today, a music lesson.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I haven't always been a teacher. I've just recently become a teacher.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I used to be a professional orchestra leader.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30But I still love music.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34John DOES love music. That may be true. But what's coming up is magic.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37I thought I'd teach you about something called rhythm.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41And rhythm is made up of two things - sound and silence.
0:21:41 > 0:21:47For example, if I've got a drum beat and it goes boom...boom...boom,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50The thing that makes that rhythm isn't just the boom,
0:21:50 > 0:21:53it's the gaps in between. It's the boom...boom...you see?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56And if you don't have the... all you've got is booooom,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59and that's not a rhythm. Now, I've written a song.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I thought I would sing you the song in a moment, and I thought
0:22:01 > 0:22:04it'd be great if we could all do the rhythm for that song.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08I've brought some percussion instruments with me
0:22:08 > 0:22:11and they're all in this... They're all in this... Ah.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Ah, that's... That's a shame cos there's only, um...
0:22:13 > 0:22:16There's only one instrument in here.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Uh-oh, it looks like the box is empty. There's not enough.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I must have forgot to pack them all when I was at the last school.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26But this instrument makes a lovely noise. You go like this, listen.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27SCRATCHING
0:22:27 > 0:22:30And we can get a nice rhythm going.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33You don't have to dance, but you can have a try of that for me,
0:22:33 > 0:22:34just have a little go.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36It's a fun lesson, but it won't last long
0:22:36 > 0:22:40if there's only one instrument! But don't worry - John's a magician!
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Oh, hang on a minute, there is...
0:22:43 > 0:22:47There was this one hidden in the corner, a little shaker.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50The magic's started. The box looked empty
0:22:50 > 0:22:53but John's found another instrument. Two's still not enough, though.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Do you want to give it a go for me?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Brilliant, OK. So we've nearly got a rhythm.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Unfortunately we haven't got any more instruments in the box.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03The box still appears empty.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06So we... We can't do it...
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Hang on a minute.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Oh, there is... There is... There's this.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Another instrument, and it appeared from out of nowhere!
0:23:13 > 0:23:16You can have that one. There we are, give it a shake.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19OK, and a shake with that.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21And a little shukka-shukka.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Brilliant, stop. Excellent. So we've got...
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Oh, there's some more, look.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29I didn't see these in there.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32These are sandy-wandys, It's like sandpaper -
0:23:32 > 0:23:34they go like this, listen. SCRAPING
0:23:35 > 0:23:40It made me want to wiggle my hips when I do that, like...
0:23:40 > 0:23:43The class like the sound of this lesson.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45But despite that magical box of instruments,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48they still haven't found the key to John's identity.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51OK, everybody, stop.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Hang on a minute, there's some more in here.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55There's a tambourine, look.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58And there's... There was another shaker.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Here, you have the shaker.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02That's it, and you have the tambourine.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05OK, all together, everybody, give me some noise.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Brilliant, stop. That's good.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Unfortunately...
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Once again the box looks empty.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17No instruments in there, and nothing hidden behind the box.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Hang on.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Got one of these, look.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Yes, you can have that. Give it a little go for me.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Brilliant, very good. Oh, and I got another couple of these shakers.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Yes, you can have that. And you can have that.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39That's it, give them a shake.
0:24:39 > 0:24:45That's good, stop! And... Oh, I've got another two tambourines, look.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Yes, you can have that, wonderful. And you can have that one.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55Give them a shake. All right. And everybody now, all together.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Oh, brilliant, and stop! Very good.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Oh, look, I've got another shaker, shukka-shukka, shakka-shakka.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07It looks like there's enough for everyone. But how?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10There's no end to John's magic, and it seems there's no end to that box.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13We can't do any more. We've got no more.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15That's all of the instruments in the box.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17We'll try one last time.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Everybody doing a rhythm on my count.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24One, two, three.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Virtuoso performance from our conjuring conductor.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32But it's time for his solo.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Unfortunately, boys and girls, that is the last of the instruments.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39We've got nothing else in there, no more percussion instruments.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42So we need to do a song and...
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Hang on.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Look at this.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51THEY GASP AND SHOUT OUT
0:25:51 > 0:25:54I think I'm going to have this. Hands down.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to play a little song
0:25:57 > 0:25:59that I've written, and you all listen to it.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02At the end, we might be able to do a rhythm for it. Is that all right?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- Yeah.- OK, everybody listen.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11# Thank you, kids For helping with my mission
0:26:11 > 0:26:14# Cos I'm not a teacher No, I'm really a magician
0:26:14 > 0:26:17# So please forgive me Though my tactics have been tragic
0:26:17 > 0:26:23# Cos you've all been filmed on Help! My Supply Teacher Is Magic! #
0:26:27 > 0:26:29No wonder they're excited!
0:26:29 > 0:26:32That was both a drum-beating and world-beating trick.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35The class are going to be banging on about this one for ages.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- He opened the box... - THEY ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Eh?! One at a time!
0:26:43 > 0:26:45THEY ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Did you get that? It definitely was magic
0:26:49 > 0:26:53when instruments kept emerging from this seemingly empty box.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56He said that there's no more, and then he looked again
0:26:56 > 0:26:59and then he said, "Oh, look, there's actually one more."
0:26:59 > 0:27:01It was, like, really exciting.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06An amazing trick, and this class didn't realise.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14See you later, but until then, if you're at school
0:27:14 > 0:27:17and you think something magical's occurring,
0:27:17 > 0:27:19maybe you'll find yourselves shouting,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22"Help! My supply teacher is still magic!"
