Episode 4 Help! My Supply Teacher Is Magic

.

CBBC have sent these four magicians into your schools.

They are some of the hottest magicians in the country.

And when they're not in your classrooms,

they're out in public, fooling families.

But right now, here's a trick you can try on your mates.

You need a pen

and a piece of paper with the Roman numerals for nine written on it.

That's an I and an X.

If you haven't got them already, go and get them now. Go on, quick!

Got it? OK. Now, draw the Roman numeral for nine. Ready?

The challenge is to turn the numerals into six,

using only one line.

Can you work it out?

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

Right now, though,

Katherine's about to amuse some people in this amusement park

with a trick you'll never work out.

-Hi, guys.

-Hi there.

-This is Rebecca and Jess.

They have no idea they're about to star in their own magic show.

Watch carefully.

Do any of you believe in power of the mind?

-Yes.

-No.

Jess, I'm going to get you to have a look at both of these for me.

We've got a mint and a coffee stirrer.

Do they look perfectly normal to you?

-Yeah.

-OK.

What I'd like you to do is hand me that back...

-Watch carefully.

-Watch very carefully.

I'm going to draw some arrows on the mint,

and you'll see why in a minute.

If you could just thread the mint on the stick for me, that's perfect.

YOU don't believe in the power of the mind,

and you DO believe in the power of the mind?

OK. Rebecca, I'm going to let you have the first go.

What I'd like you to do is visualise the arrows moving towards you.

-OK.

-Can you do that?

Keep concentrating.

-There we go...

-Your eyes are not lying to you.

The mint is spinning on its own.

What I want you to do, in your mind, is say, "Stop," in your mind.

Wow! I wanted it to stop then too. She read my mind!

Amazing!

I want to look at that again. Let's get a rewind.

What I want you do, in your mind, is say, "Stop," in your mind.

It's Jess's turn now.

-You don't believe in this, do you?

-No.

-So shall we see if you can manage to do this?

-OK.

And in your mind, I want you to say, "Stop."

Whoa, that's awesome!

She wrote the things on the Polo

and then it started spinning without her doing anything.

It was really weird.

Now, I really, really believe in the power of the mind.

Time to find out how to fool YOUR friends in Tricks Of The Trade.

Me and John challenged you

to turn this Roman numeral for the number nine,

that's an I and an X,

into six, using only one line.

Come on, have you worked it out?

Maybe you thought you could turn it into an number six

by drawing around the X?

Nah. Here's how.

Did you get it?

Are you amazing already?

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

Fergus is in this shopping centre to play a trick on these girls.

They've been set up by their parents.

They have no idea what's about to happen.

Here comes Fergus now. Check him out! What is he up to?

Excuse me, sorry, do you have the time?

Yeah, it's half past one.

Half past one? I knew I'd set my watch wrong.

I just bought, actually...

I was just round the corner getting a cola,

but it looks a little bit of a horrible colour, doesn't it?

Mum and dad are watching on as Fergus tricks the girls.

I wanted to get rid of it, but I couldn't find a bin.

So, I thought the best way is to get rid of the liquid first, right?

-Just get rid of the liquid...

-How did he do that?!

..and then I just need to bin the cup.

So I'll go and do that now.

Where did the cola go? Let's get a rewind.

I can definitely see cola in there...

..I couldn't find a bin.

So, I thought the best way is to get rid of the liquid first, right?

Just get rid of the liquid...

and then I just need to bin the cup.

..but now it's disappeared.

I still can't work it out.

Look at Ella's face. She can't believe it!

What did they think of their shopping centre surprise?

-Amazed. Amazed.

-Yeah.
