It's a brand-new term

0:00:020:00:03

and CBBC has sent these four magicians back to school.

0:00:030:00:06

They are pretending to be supply teachers

0:00:060:00:09

so that they can perform amazing magic on unsuspecting classes.

0:00:090:00:13

But because you know and love them,

0:00:130:00:16

this time we've cunningly disguised them.

0:00:160:00:18

Then we hid secret cameras all over the classrooms

0:00:210:00:25

and watched as they taught spectacular lessons.

0:00:250:00:28

Flying around like a magic saucer.

0:00:280:00:31

KIDS CHEER

0:00:310:00:33

That was sick!

0:00:330:00:35

It's more magic, it's more outrageous.

0:00:350:00:39

I was just flabbergasted.

0:00:390:00:40

But how long will it take before the classes shout...?

0:00:400:00:43

Hello! It's me, Iain, and we're back to school for a new term -

0:00:500:00:53

it's "Help! My Supply Teacher Is Still Magic". You could say it's...

0:00:530:00:58

-DEEP VOICE:

-"Help! My Supply Teacher Is Magic II:

0:00:580:01:01

"Dude, Where's My Real Teacher?"

0:01:010:01:03

Once again we've swapped regular teachers with magicians

0:01:030:01:07

and because you know them, we've disguised them.

0:01:070:01:10

We've filmed the results with special cameras

0:01:100:01:12

hidden in the classrooms.

0:01:120:01:14

Yeah, we are cheekier than a hamster with its cheeks full of nuts.

0:01:140:01:18

We're also showing you loads of other great tricks.

0:01:180:01:21

Tricks like this.

0:01:210:01:24

James has the magical skills to print the dollar bills.

0:01:240:01:28

-But this expensive-looking trick's a real snip.

-If we just cut there.

0:01:280:01:32

For John's interactive illusion, you will need a pack of cards

0:01:320:01:35

and a marker pen.

0:01:350:01:37

Plus, you've been sending in clips of all your best magic tricks

0:01:370:01:40

and later on, I will be picking my favourite.

0:01:400:01:43

The Wannabe Wizards are going to be great! But first...

0:01:430:01:47

Do you think you'd be able to tell if your teacher started doing magic?

0:01:470:01:51

Do you?

0:01:510:01:53

This is James.

0:01:530:01:54

Check out his magic. Check out his checked shirt!

0:01:540:01:59

The disguise is on.

0:01:590:02:01

Hop, skip and jump to it, James, and sort your tie out!

0:02:010:02:04

They're waiting for you!

0:02:040:02:06

-BELL RINGS

-Enter Year Five.

0:02:060:02:08

They don't know it yet, but James is about to give them

0:02:080:02:11

a lesson about currency with a trick that's so on the money.

0:02:110:02:15

So far, none of them have noticed the cameras

0:02:150:02:17

hidden in the classroom or recognised James as our magician.

0:02:170:02:21

But they are about to have a money-printing lesson

0:02:210:02:23

that will leave its mark.

0:02:230:02:25

Good morning, class. I am a historian.

0:02:250:02:28

Today we are going to do a special lesson on the history of money.

0:02:280:02:32

Now, money as we know it has been around for 3,000 years.

0:02:320:02:37

A bit of real history there!

0:02:370:02:39

I've brought with me today

0:02:390:02:41

something very, very special for you to see.

0:02:410:02:43

This is a money printer from Germany

0:02:430:02:46

that was invented about 150 years ago.

0:02:460:02:49

I have restored this back to its original working condition.

0:02:490:02:53

I've also added a few things that brings it up to date a little bit.

0:02:530:02:57

-Would you like to see it work? ALL:

-Yes, please.

0:02:570:03:00

Good.

0:03:000:03:01

It consists of just two rollers, so I've got a roller on the top

0:03:010:03:04

and one on the bottom and if I turn the handle, the rollers turn

0:03:040:03:08

and that's where the ink is stored. I've also got a few other things -

0:03:080:03:11

I've got this cog on the front

0:03:110:03:13

which has numbers on it so I can print different amounts.

0:03:130:03:16

I've also got these little keys so I can do different currencies.

0:03:160:03:19

I've got a British flag so I can print British money,

0:03:190:03:22

or I've got a euro - the European symbol.

0:03:220:03:26

I can print euros.

0:03:260:03:27

-Or I can even print... Who knows what that is?

-USA.

0:03:270:03:31

American, I can print American dollars.

0:03:310:03:34

This trick coming up is worth every penny.

0:03:340:03:36

So how about we put the key in for Britain?

0:03:360:03:39

We set this to five, so we'll go for £5.

0:03:390:03:44

So I take my paper, which is completely blank,

0:03:440:03:47

and if I put it in the machine, turn the handle,

0:03:470:03:50

then on the other side you will see out comes...

0:03:500:03:54

KIDS YELL ..a £5 note.

0:03:540:03:57

They like this cash trick and the magic's barely registered yet!

0:03:570:04:01

Isn't that fantastic?

0:04:010:04:03

Unfortunately, I must take all these back to the museum with me later.

0:04:030:04:08

Sorry about that. But this is a £5 note.

0:04:080:04:11

It's got a serial number on it and everything.

0:04:110:04:14

-Why don't we try some European money? Shall we try it?

-Yeah!

0:04:140:04:18

We put the European key in, and this time let's try ten euros.

0:04:180:04:24

If we just turn the machine... like this.

0:04:240:04:27

They can't take their eyes off the printer.

0:04:270:04:29

Lucky they can't see the small print that says it's magic!

0:04:290:04:32

We should get a ten-euro note.

0:04:320:04:37

KIDS YELL Isn't that great?

0:04:370:04:41

It's real money, but it's not a real printer.

0:04:410:04:44

The class love it and now James is going to have some more fun.

0:04:440:04:47

When you are using the machine,

0:04:470:04:49

you have to be careful that you load the money in the correct way

0:04:490:04:52

because if it is not in the right way then it comes out a bit weird.

0:04:520:04:56

We will do... We'll do a five euro. A five euro.

0:04:560:04:59

If I put the paper in

0:04:590:05:01

just slightly off centre,

0:05:010:05:03

when it comes out the other side, it's actually been misprinted.

0:05:030:05:10

You can see that's been printed incorrectly.

0:05:100:05:14

The other thing you must always do is make sure you use the right paper.

0:05:140:05:18

-Who knows what that is?

-Newspaper.

-It's newspaper.

0:05:180:05:21

-Shall we try...dollar? Shall we do some dollars?

-Yes!

0:05:210:05:24

So let's change the key to the little American flag.

0:05:240:05:28

We will go for - nothing too high - 20.

0:05:280:05:33

So if we change that to 20...

0:05:330:05:35

Let's see how that turns out for us. Put this in.

0:05:350:05:39

It goes in one side and comes out the other one printed.

0:05:390:05:43

But you can see it's being printed on the newspaper.

0:05:430:05:50

-I'd buy that trick for a dollar!

-Let's try that again.

0:05:500:05:53

We'll leave it as American and 20,

0:05:530:05:55

but this time we'll use the correct paper.

0:05:550:05:58

-Who's enjoying the lesson so far?

-Me!

0:05:580:06:00

OK, great. Oh, just load this in.

0:06:000:06:03

Oh, wait. Oh, no. Oh, no.

0:06:030:06:07

Oh. Oh, that's not good.

0:06:090:06:13

It's printed on my tie.

0:06:130:06:16

Look! James's tie's got a dollar bill printed on it!

0:06:160:06:19

I don't think I can get it out, actually. That's that ruined.

0:06:190:06:23

KIDS LAUGH That's bad. Oh, there we go.

0:06:230:06:29

I'll try this. Let's try this.

0:06:290:06:33

Look, if we just cut there, then hopefully...

0:06:370:06:40

There we go.

0:06:420:06:43

A shame about the tie.

0:06:450:06:46

The class don't think it's a shame

0:06:460:06:48

and now James is going to tie the lesson up by telling them the truth.

0:06:480:06:52

I don't just go around different schools and talk about history -

0:06:520:06:57

in fact, I am not a historian, I am a magician.

0:06:570:07:01

KIDS YELL

0:07:010:07:05

And you are all secretly being filmed on cameras there, and here for

0:07:050:07:10

"Help! My Supply Teacher's Magic" on CBBC! Give them a wave!

0:07:100:07:13

No wonder they're excited - James pulled off a sensational trick

0:07:150:07:19

and he cut off his tie!

0:07:190:07:21

Has it left the class tongue-tied?

0:07:210:07:23

I just thought it was a normal...

0:07:250:07:27

A normal day in the classroom,

0:07:270:07:29

but then it started to get odder and odder.

0:07:290:07:32

I just saw a machine and I thought,

0:07:320:07:34

"He's just brought this thing in. Oh, that's quite cool."

0:07:340:07:37

Not only was it cool, it was magic cos you can't print money like this.

0:07:370:07:41

A £5 note.

0:07:410:07:43

The newspaper one, I thought it was going to come out fine,

0:07:430:07:47

but it actually came out really funny.

0:07:470:07:49

The dollar bill DID look funny, but it was even funnier when James

0:07:490:07:54

got his tie stuck in the magic printer and had to cut it off!

0:07:540:07:59

It was really weird, but it was really good and I liked it.

0:07:590:08:04

An incredible trick and the class had no idea James was a magician.

0:08:060:08:10

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

0:08:100:08:12

Later on you'll see what happened

0:08:190:08:21

when John went under cover at another school.

0:08:210:08:24

His unhinged magic had the class on a piece of string.

0:08:240:08:28

Right now though, Fergus is drawing them in, Up Close And Magical.

0:08:280:08:33

So, we've got a pen.

0:08:330:08:34

I'd like you to have a look at the pen

0:08:340:08:36

and could you have a look at the cap?

0:08:360:08:38

When you're happy they're regular, normal...

0:08:380:08:41

Nothing hiding inside there? That's a proper inspection. Are you happy?

0:08:410:08:45

Yeah.

0:08:450:08:46

Now, Cameron. Your job is to watch very closely the cap.

0:08:460:08:52

If I take the cap, and squeeze,

0:08:520:08:56

you'll see it actually goes.

0:08:560:08:58

It doesn't go very far -

0:08:580:08:59

just to the other side of the pen.

0:08:590:09:01

Keep your eye on the cap and you'll see the very moment it vanishes.

0:09:010:09:06

Watch. Did you see it go?

0:09:060:09:09

-Yeah.

-It vanishes.

0:09:090:09:10

It doesn't go very far, it just goes over here...behind my knee.

0:09:100:09:15

Don't take your eyes off the cap -

0:09:150:09:18

I want you to watch it very, very carefully.

0:09:180:09:21

One, two, three. And it's gone.

0:09:210:09:25

-Not the cap, the pen. The pen's gone.

-Oh, my God!

0:09:260:09:29

-But look, look up here behind my ear. Can you see?

-Oh, my God!

0:09:290:09:32

But what did I say before? Don't take your eyes off the cap.

0:09:320:09:36

Watch the cap closely and I'll take back the pen...

0:09:360:09:39

One, two, three.

0:09:390:09:43

-Now the cap's gone.

-Is that a magic marker, Fergus?

0:09:430:09:46

-Where did the pen appear before?

-Your ear.

0:09:460:09:49

Look at my ear now.

0:09:490:09:51

But I need that cos I need to put it back on the... Where did the pen go?

0:09:510:09:55

Who took the pen? Did you take it? Oh, no!

0:09:550:09:58

Sometimes it goes inside the cap and if I reach in I can pull it out.

0:09:580:10:03

Whoa! He pulled the whole pen out of the lid! How did that get in there?

0:10:030:10:08

That trick can be marked up "amazing"!

0:10:080:10:11

I don't know how he did it

0:10:110:10:13

and I don't know how the pen can go inside the cap.

0:10:130:10:16

It was amazing.

0:10:180:10:20

And from pens to pencils it's Katherine's magical challenge

0:10:200:10:23

in Tricks Of The Trade.

0:10:230:10:24

If you fancy yourself as a magician,

0:10:240:10:26

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

0:10:260:10:28

Katherine has got a piece of paper and an HB pencil.

0:10:280:10:32

Katherine's going to show you how to make a normal grey HB pencil

0:10:320:10:37

write any colour of the rainbow. Can you work out how to do it?

0:10:370:10:41

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

0:10:410:10:44

It's going to be great.

0:10:440:10:46

Right now we have something amazing for you.

0:10:460:10:49

Have you got your deck of cards and a marker pen?

0:10:490:10:52

This is the interactive illusion.

0:10:520:10:54

This is a trick where you can take part at home.

0:10:540:10:57

You need to pay close attention, so come over here a bit.

0:10:570:11:01

A little bit, yep. Oh, lower your head a bit, I can see up your nose!

0:11:010:11:05

Ugh. You ready? Here's John.

0:11:050:11:08

You need to get the pen and cards ready now.

0:11:080:11:12

OK, take any seven cards from your deck -

0:11:130:11:16

any seven at all - and give them a shuffle, face down, like this.

0:11:160:11:21

OK, turn over the whole packet

0:11:220:11:24

and look at the card that ended up on the bottom.

0:11:240:11:28

That will be your lucky card.

0:11:280:11:31

To remember the card, draw a large X all across its face,

0:11:310:11:36

going from corner to corner.

0:11:360:11:40

Now, we turn the whole packet face down,

0:11:400:11:44

leaving our good-luck card on the bottom.

0:11:440:11:46

Spread the cards in a fan and take out any card except the bottom one,

0:11:460:11:52

which is your good luck card, and turn that card face up

0:11:520:11:56

and insert it in the exact centre of the packet,

0:11:560:12:00

under three cards and above three cards.

0:12:000:12:03

Close the fan and square the cards neatly.

0:12:050:12:08

Cut the packet and complete the cut just as if you were playing cards.

0:12:080:12:12

Cut and complete once more.

0:12:120:12:16

Now, we spread the cards between our hands

0:12:160:12:19

and without altering the order,

0:12:190:12:22

we take the group of cards that is above the face-up card

0:12:220:12:25

and we put that group on the bottom.

0:12:250:12:28

Take the card that is face up on top.

0:12:280:12:31

This card is a bad-luck card, so we throw it away.

0:12:310:12:35

Take the top card and put it on the bottom.

0:12:350:12:38

We take the next card from the top and we throw it away,

0:12:380:12:42

just like before.

0:12:420:12:43

Take the top card and put it on the bottom.

0:12:430:12:47

Let's mix the cards some more like this.

0:12:470:12:49

Spread the cards in a fan, take the top card and insert it in the middle.

0:12:490:12:54

It doesn't need to be the exact centre, just somewhere in the middle.

0:12:540:12:59

We take a card or two from the top and bury them

0:12:590:13:03

also more or less in the middle.

0:13:030:13:07

We take the card that all these shuffles have brought to the top

0:13:070:13:11

and we throw it away.

0:13:110:13:12

Move the top card to the bottom, take the next card from the top

0:13:120:13:16

and throw it away.

0:13:160:13:19

Reverse the order or leave them as they are.

0:13:190:13:22

We take the card that ended up on top and throw it away.

0:13:250:13:29

Move the top card to the bottom, we take the next card and throw it away.

0:13:290:13:34

We have a single card left. Don't look at it because it's bad luck.

0:13:340:13:39

Remember, some cut more cards, some less.

0:13:390:13:42

Then we all shuffled several times.

0:13:420:13:44

Some reversed their cards, some didn't.

0:13:440:13:47

If we are still holding the good-luck card in our hands,

0:13:470:13:50

that would be incredible.

0:13:500:13:52

Let's see.

0:13:520:13:54

I got it. Did you?

0:13:540:13:57

That is incredible!

0:13:590:14:01

Be prepared to be amazed again when James gets up close and magical.

0:14:010:14:06

Now, when you're a magician, you see lots of good tricks.

0:14:060:14:09

You see SOME great tricks, but it's very rare that you see

0:14:090:14:13

an absolutely amazing trick, and this is an amazing trick.

0:14:130:14:17

Before we start, Uriah, if I can ask you to shuffle those cards.

0:14:170:14:21

And if you could just take the box and check there's nothing special

0:14:210:14:25

-about it, there's no hidden doors or mirrors or anything like that.

-No.

0:14:250:14:28

Great. I'll take those cards back. Oh, excellent shuffling there!

0:14:280:14:32

And you're happy that they are all different and all shuffled?

0:14:320:14:35

-You can see all the faces are different?

-Yes.

-Yes?

0:14:350:14:39

Those cards are completely out of order.

0:14:390:14:41

-Now, Uriah, you've got a very important job to do.

-Yes.

-OK?

0:14:410:14:45

What I'd like you to do is name or point to any one of those cards.

0:14:450:14:49

You can have a diamond, a spade, anything you want.

0:14:490:14:52

-Um...this.

-Which one? The eight of spades?

-No, the jack.

0:14:520:14:56

-The Jack of Diamonds?

-Yeah.

0:14:560:14:58

Uriah has chosen the Jack Of Diamonds in James's deck.

0:14:580:15:01

If we take the cards and we place them in the card box like this...

0:15:010:15:05

Now, before I do this, just check there's nothing on my arms,

0:15:080:15:13

-nothing extra apart from my watch. No?

-No.

-Nothing on this arm?

0:15:130:15:17

-There's nothing up his sleeves.

-And there's nothing above?

0:15:170:15:19

Wave your hand above... and wave your hand below.

0:15:190:15:23

-Nothing above, nothing below?

-I'm just going to check the sides.

0:15:230:15:26

OK, check the sides, as well. Be thorough.

0:15:260:15:28

-Would you like to check the sides?!

-I'm fine.

-OK, great.

0:15:280:15:31

-Now, earlier on, I gave you a deck of cards to shuffle.

-Yes.

0:15:310:15:34

And you named any card. Do you remember the card you named?

0:15:340:15:37

-Yes, the Jack of Diamonds.

-The Jack of Diamonds.

0:15:370:15:40

Now, that Jack of Diamonds is somewhere in the middle

0:15:400:15:42

of this deck at the moment. But watch... If I just take the deck

0:15:420:15:46

and I slowly shake it like this,

0:15:460:15:48

one card visibly rises from the middle of the deck.

0:15:480:15:52

It can't be, can it?!

0:15:520:15:53

And that card is your Jack of Diamonds.

0:15:530:15:56

-You can take those, you can take those, and that.

-How did that happen?

0:15:560:16:00

I'm shocked.

0:16:020:16:03

It IS shocking - shockingly good.

0:16:030:16:06

I think that trick was thrilling.

0:16:060:16:10

He put it in the box, and when he shook it, the card rises.

0:16:100:16:16

And I never even knew magicians could do that trick!

0:16:160:16:20

Wow! Well, the quantity of the magic is exhausting

0:16:210:16:24

and the quality has been knee-trembling.

0:16:240:16:27

In fact, it made my knees nearly give way.

0:16:270:16:30

So, I feel like I've earned a sit down.

0:16:300:16:32

But before I do, let's have a look at what's coming up.

0:16:320:16:34

It's all kinds of ridiculousness.

0:16:340:16:36

James gets up close and magical with a flash trick using disk drives.

0:16:370:16:42

Catherine reveals the secret in Tricks Of The Trade.

0:16:420:16:45

Have you worked it out yet?

0:16:450:16:47

And watch what happens when John goes under cover in another school.

0:16:470:16:51

Will he fool the class, or will they realise

0:16:510:16:54

their supply teacher is still magic?

0:16:540:16:56

Phew! Each week I bring you

0:16:580:16:59

another of my new favourite magic movers and shakers doing tricks

0:16:590:17:03

in their own cribs, yards and front rooms.

0:17:030:17:06

We call them the wannabe wizards.

0:17:060:17:08

So I've got my comfy chair,

0:17:080:17:09

I've got my computer thing to watch all the magic on, and, er...

0:17:090:17:13

..I've got my comedy octopus slippers. Let's do this, already!

0:17:150:17:18

We asked you to send in clips of yourself performing your best

0:17:190:17:23

magic tricks. We received loads of clips from all over the country.

0:17:230:17:27

Each week, I'll be choosing my favourite wannabe wizard

0:17:270:17:29

and showing them to you guys.

0:17:290:17:31

My wannabe wizard this time is Ben from Stourbridge,

0:17:310:17:34

and he's got a thirst for magic.

0:17:340:17:37

OK, so here I am with an ordinary bottle of cola.

0:17:380:17:41

I'll take this and pour the remainder into the glass...

0:17:410:17:46

So there we have it.

0:17:460:17:48

Now, I'll take this bottle... place it into the bag.

0:17:500:17:57

So, we have a bottle, place it into the bag,

0:17:590:18:01

wave my hand over the top,

0:18:010:18:04

and it turns into the can. I'll do it again.

0:18:040:18:08

Place it into the bag, wave my hand over the top

0:18:080:18:11

and it turns back into the bottle.

0:18:110:18:13

'You think you know how he's doing this trick, don't you?

0:18:130:18:15

'He's got both the can and the bottle in the bag, right?'

0:18:150:18:20

I suppose it's not a good trick, is it?

0:18:200:18:23

'Wrong! That trick was far from rubbish! Wannabe wizard, Ben.'

0:18:230:18:29

Now it's time for Katherine to reveal the secret

0:18:290:18:32

in Tricks Of The Trade.

0:18:320:18:33

Katherine is going to show you how to make a normal grey HB pencil

0:18:330:18:37

write any colour of the rainbow.

0:18:370:18:40

Come on, have you worked it out? How many of you got it?

0:18:400:18:44

Maybe you think it's by saying the magic words?

0:18:440:18:47

Nah!

0:18:490:18:50

How about by writing with the side of the pencil?

0:18:500:18:53

Don't be silly!

0:18:560:18:57

Is it an optical illusion?

0:18:570:19:01

Come on...

0:19:010:19:03

Ask your friend their favourite colour.

0:19:030:19:05

If they say "blue", simply write the word "blue" and you will be correct.

0:19:050:19:13

If they say "red", you would write "red".

0:19:130:19:16

Whatever colour they say, just write that. Do you get it?

0:19:160:19:20

It's sneaky but clever.

0:19:200:19:22

Now you've all got something to show off with in the playground.

0:19:220:19:26

Now James does some blue chip trickery, Up Close And Magical.

0:19:260:19:31

-Have you guys got a computer at home?

-Yes.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Awesome.

0:19:310:19:34

What are you like with your organisation?

0:19:340:19:36

Do you keep everything in certain places or do you just

0:19:360:19:39

-save it on the desktop?

-We keep it on files.

-Really? I'm rubbish.

0:19:390:19:44

All my desktop is just awash with music and pictures

0:19:440:19:47

and all kinds of stuff.

0:19:470:19:48

But, lately, because it's been getting on my nerves,

0:19:480:19:51

I've taken to using these USB drives. Do you use these?

0:19:510:19:54

-I've seen people use them.

-Yeah, so on the red one,

0:19:540:19:57

I store all my pictures, and on the black one,

0:19:570:20:00

-I store all my music.

-Check it out.

0:20:000:20:03

He has one red USB drive and one black one.

0:20:030:20:06

The problem arises

0:20:060:20:08

when I leave the house in the morning and accidentally take the wrong one.

0:20:080:20:11

So, say if I take the black one... luckily, I'm a magician.

0:20:110:20:16

So if I go, one, two...three,

0:20:160:20:19

-see they change places?

-Whoa!

0:20:190:20:22

It's pretty cool, right? Let's try that again.

0:20:220:20:25

We'll get rid of the black one this time.

0:20:250:20:27

He's put the black one in his pocket.

0:20:270:20:29

Sorry, we'll get rid of the black one.

0:20:290:20:32

OK, I tell you what, we'll get rid of the black one...

0:20:340:20:37

OK, this is getting annoying. We'll use the black one.

0:20:370:20:40

We'll just use the black one, OK? So, look, same thing, OK?

0:20:400:20:42

I've got my sound files on here, but let's say, for example, I want

0:20:420:20:46

my picture files instead, yeah, all I have to do is go one, two, three...

0:20:460:20:49

-Whoa.

-And they switch places, yeah?

0:20:490:20:53

-Wow.

-Now, all of these have different sizes.

0:20:530:20:56

This red one, that's about four gigabytes. That's quite big.

0:20:560:21:01

The black one, however, is a little bit bigger.

0:21:010:21:04

The black one is actually... 150 gigabytes,

0:21:040:21:08

quite a bit bigger.

0:21:080:21:09

Amazing!

0:21:090:21:11

He's stretched the memory and he's stretched their minds.

0:21:110:21:14

That was awesome.

0:21:140:21:16

One of them was four megabytes and then the other one was 100,

0:21:160:21:20

and it was two times the size of the other one. It was amazing!

0:21:200:21:25

-It was cool!

-Impossible.

0:21:250:21:27

This is my memory stick.

0:21:270:21:29

It reminds me when to take the dog for a walk. Fetch!

0:21:290:21:33

It's not a very good memory stick. I don't have a dog...

0:21:360:21:39

It must be someone else's.

0:21:390:21:41

It's time for more school magic, and now there's John pretending

0:21:420:21:45

to be a supply teacher and trying to fool another class.

0:21:450:21:49

The disguise is on. John's limbered up...sort of.

0:21:490:21:52

-BELL RINGS

-Enter Year Four.

0:21:520:21:55

They don't know it yet, but John's about to do a physics lesson

0:21:550:21:59

that's not physically possible.

0:21:590:22:01

None of the class have noticed the hidden cameras or recognised

0:22:010:22:04

John in his natty glasses,

0:22:040:22:06

but how long will it be before they suspect his nutty lesson?

0:22:060:22:09

I'm not normally a teacher. I do teach, but I don't teach in schools.

0:22:090:22:13

I am actually a studying professor.

0:22:130:22:15

Now, has anybody here heard of a man called Isaac Newton? Excellent.

0:22:150:22:19

Isaac Newton was a very, very famous scientist.

0:22:190:22:24

It was Isaac Newton that discovered the theory of gravity.

0:22:240:22:27

But he also discovered some very important laws about force

0:22:270:22:31

and motion. We're going to talk about Isaac Newton's third law of motion,

0:22:310:22:36

which says, quite simply, that forces come in pairs.

0:22:360:22:40

In other words, for every action,

0:22:400:22:42

there is an equal and opposite reaction.

0:22:420:22:45

Some proper physics there.

0:22:450:22:47

Imagine I'm stood on a skateboard, and I have a big,

0:22:470:22:51

heavy ball in my hand, and I throw that heavy ball in that direction.

0:22:510:22:55

What do you think will happen to me? Yes?

0:22:550:22:58

I'll go backwards. That's right.

0:22:580:23:00

A good description, and all factually correct.

0:23:000:23:03

Some magic incoming, though.

0:23:030:23:04

It's the way that rockets work

0:23:040:23:06

in space, because in space, rockets don't have anything to push against.

0:23:060:23:09

What's happening is, it's pushing a big force in one direction

0:23:090:23:13

and Newton's third law means that there is another force

0:23:130:23:15

in the opposite direction moving the rocket across.

0:23:150:23:18

Do you think, for One Direction, there's an equal and opposite band?

0:23:180:23:21

I can demonstrate that with one of these.

0:23:210:23:23

This is a Newton's Cradle. Anybody seen one of these?

0:23:230:23:26

Very good. It's called a Newton's Cradle

0:23:260:23:28

cos it demonstrates some of Newton's laws.

0:23:280:23:30

I can show you what I mean. I've got these little silver balls on strings.

0:23:300:23:34

And if I drop one like this, watch what happens to the other side...

0:23:340:23:37

Did you see that? What's happening there is the energy is going

0:23:390:23:41

that way and it's coming out in the opposite direction.

0:23:410:23:44

And that would go on for ever, if it wasn't for friction

0:23:440:23:46

that slowed it down and took up some of the energy.

0:23:460:23:49

The class are impressed.

0:23:490:23:50

They've never had a 100-mile-an-hour teacher like John before.

0:23:500:23:53

That was one of the devices that Newton used

0:23:530:23:56

to explain one of his laws.

0:23:560:23:58

But he also came up with some interesting experimental tools.

0:23:580:24:02

He came up with these. These are called Newton's Sticks.

0:24:020:24:06

Newton never had sticks. These are magic sticks.

0:24:060:24:10

Watch them closely.

0:24:100:24:11

It's very simple. You've got two silver balls on strings.

0:24:110:24:14

What happens is, if I pull this silver ball,

0:24:140:24:16

watch what happens to the other silver ball.

0:24:160:24:18

The other one goes up, even though I'm not touching it.

0:24:180:24:21

Quite impressive,

0:24:210:24:22

but the strings on those poles must be connected, right?

0:24:220:24:24

And it works the other way round - watch.

0:24:240:24:26

I'm watching more closely this time.

0:24:260:24:28

Without touching this one, watch what happens. That ball goes up.

0:24:280:24:31

Now, when Isaac Newton demonstrated this principle to

0:24:310:24:34

the rest of the scientists,

0:24:340:24:35

they were all convinced that these were joined together in the middle.

0:24:350:24:39

So he had to demonstrate the experiment again,

0:24:390:24:41

but this time he separated them so they weren't touching each other.

0:24:410:24:45

But still the same thing worked.

0:24:450:24:46

If he pulled this one, that one went up in the air.

0:24:460:24:49

And if he pulled this one, that one went up in the air.

0:24:490:24:51

There must be some connection at the back.

0:24:510:24:54

Of course, the scientists were very clever.

0:24:540:24:56

Even hundreds of years ago, they weren't stupid.

0:24:560:24:58

They thought, "Maybe the strings are connected here."

0:24:580:25:01

So Isaac Newton had to demonstrate the principle again,

0:25:010:25:03

but this time, holding the sticks far apart.

0:25:030:25:06

-Now, THIS I have to see.

-And even when he was holding them

0:25:060:25:09

far apart, if he pulled this one, that one would go up in the air.

0:25:090:25:12

And if he pulled this one, that one would go up in the air.

0:25:120:25:15

There's no way those balls are touching.

0:25:150:25:17

How are the balls doing that?!

0:25:170:25:19

And you could keep doing that,

0:25:190:25:20

because every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

0:25:200:25:24

Now, there is one problem that Isaac Newton discovered.

0:25:240:25:27

If you stop the equal and opposite reaction happening, by holding

0:25:270:25:31

both strings and pulling them down like that, now you have a problem.

0:25:310:25:35

You see, there is nowhere for the energy to go.

0:25:350:25:38

There's been a force, but there's been no equal and opposite reaction.

0:25:380:25:41

And the only way to sort that out is by having an extra silver ball here.

0:25:410:25:45

And watch what happens. If I pull this one, they all go up in the air.

0:25:450:25:49

No way! How does he do that?

0:25:490:25:51

The third ball is definitely not connected!

0:25:510:25:54

How did you do that?

0:25:540:25:55

It's Newton's third law. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

0:25:550:25:58

It's either Newton's third law, or...maybe I'm not really a teacher.

0:25:580:26:03

Maybe I'm a magician.

0:26:030:26:05

What will their reaction be when they find out the truth?

0:26:050:26:09

And I've been sent here by your teachers and your family

0:26:090:26:12

and your head teachers, because you're going to be on

0:26:120:26:14

a CBBC show called "Help! My Supply Teacher Is Magic",

0:26:140:26:17

and we've got a camera here...

0:26:170:26:18

CHILDREN SCREAM

0:26:180:26:19

..we've got a camera here, there's a camera at the back!

0:26:190:26:23

John's trick with sticks stuck to the course without the class

0:26:230:26:26

guessing his secret, but how will it stick in their minds?

0:26:260:26:30

I was, honestly, "Is this a joke or is it real, or...

0:26:300:26:34

"I don't know what's going on."

0:26:340:26:36

Yes, it was real. Real magic, cos those sticks weren't connected.

0:26:360:26:41

That one went up in the air.

0:26:410:26:42

He pulled it up out of his pocket and then the balls just went

0:26:420:26:46

right up, and it was like, I thought, "How can you do that?"

0:26:460:26:51

Watch what happens. If I pull this one...

0:26:510:26:53

John pulled the other one and the magic went to the top of the class.

0:26:530:26:57

He put them in separate hands and it was kind of surprising.

0:26:570:27:00

I was so excited,

0:27:000:27:02

we have to say this... Ahh! We're going to be on TV! Sorry.

0:27:020:27:05

SCREAMING

0:27:050:27:06

No need to apologise.

0:27:060:27:08

It was an amazing trick, and this class didn't realise...

0:27:080:27:12

HE CHUCKLES

0:27:180:27:20

Oh! John learned that trick from this book.

0:27:200:27:23

I've been reading it, too. I just can't put it down...

0:27:230:27:27

Literally!

0:27:270:27:29

We'll see you later on, but until then,

0:27:290:27:31

if you're at school and you think something magical's occurring, maybe

0:27:310:27:34

you'll find yourself shouting,

0:27:340:27:36

"Help! My supply teacher's still magic!"
