0:24:02 > 0:24:06CBBC have sent these four magicians into your schools.

0:24:06 > 0:24:10They are some of the hottest magicians in the country.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Our magicians went undercover

0:24:12 > 0:24:16and they pretended to be supplied teachers.

0:24:21 > 0:24:26Now it's time for Katherine to fool another unsuspecting class.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29The classroom's been planted with hidden cameras

0:24:29 > 0:24:33and she's got a trick that will really grow on them very quickly.

0:24:33 > 0:24:37Today we're going to be learning about sustainability.

0:24:37 > 0:24:42The food we eat every day and the paper you write on at school

0:24:42 > 0:24:45all needs to be replaced and that is sustainability,

0:24:45 > 0:24:48when we replace resources so we don't run out.

0:24:48 > 0:24:52That's true, but she's about to lead them up the garden path.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55When I was planning this lesson I had a look online

0:24:55 > 0:24:58and what I found was a very interesting article

0:24:58 > 0:25:03and it was describing something called Speed Grow Powder.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05There's no such thing as Speed Grow Powder -

0:25:05 > 0:25:07- it's just part of the trick. - So I sent an e-mail

0:25:07 > 0:25:12and they very kindly sent me over a sample, which I've got here.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14These girls haven't seen anything like it.

0:25:14 > 0:25:18Yesterday I tried this out at home with a sunflower seed

0:25:18 > 0:25:21and I put the seed into my airing cupboard

0:25:21 > 0:25:25with the powder on top and I left it for only a few moments

0:25:25 > 0:25:28and when I opened up the cupboard door again

0:25:28 > 0:25:31I could see a fully grown, tall sunflower.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33A tall story more like, but they don't suspect a thing.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36Obviously I couldn't bring my airing cupboard

0:25:36 > 0:25:40so I had to find a cupboard in your storage room,

0:25:40 > 0:25:43which will do fine and block out all the light.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45So I'll just pop the seed in the soil

0:25:45 > 0:25:49and sprinkle some of the Speed Grow Powder on top.

0:25:49 > 0:25:54If we open up the front of the cupboard and place the pot inside

0:25:54 > 0:26:00we should only really need to leave it for a few moments

0:26:00 > 0:26:03before we see some sort of result.

0:26:05 > 0:26:06So let's close the door.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09Now, it's very important that no light gets in there

0:26:09 > 0:26:12because otherwise the powder won't work, but as I said,

0:26:12 > 0:26:14it works really, really quickly,

0:26:14 > 0:26:18so probably, I imagine, we've probably waited enough time already,

0:26:18 > 0:26:21so let's have a look and see what the results are.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24- I'll just take off the door. - I can't wait for this.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26The class are about to be blown away.

0:26:26 > 0:26:31- And have a look inside and... Wow, have a look at that.- Whoa!

0:26:31 > 0:26:36The seed has grown into a plant in no time at all. I can't BE-LEAF it!

0:26:36 > 0:26:40That's grown about what would generally take about four weeks

0:26:40 > 0:26:43in about ten seconds. OK, so let's put it back in again.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45It's already an incredible trick,

0:26:45 > 0:26:49but will it plant the seed of doubt into the class's head

0:26:49 > 0:26:52- about her magical identity? - And see how much it grows again.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Seal up the front of the door.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59Now, has anyone ever heard of fertiliser before?

0:26:59 > 0:27:02You have, and who knows what it does?

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Katherine's trying to throw off the class

0:27:04 > 0:27:07with some questions and some real science.

0:27:07 > 0:27:11Oh, and remember - don't play with fertiliser at home.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14Grow - it's supposed to help stuff grow. Exactly.

0:27:14 > 0:27:17And this is exactly what the powder does,

0:27:17 > 0:27:20but it does it much more effectively and much faster,

0:27:20 > 0:27:23so let's have a look and see if it's worked again.

0:27:23 > 0:27:26Open up the front of the door and if we have a look...

0:27:26 > 0:27:28THEY GASP

0:27:28 > 0:27:31Big plant, big reaction.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35It's time for our magic supply teacher

0:27:35 > 0:27:37to let them all in on the trick.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Do you want to know a secret? PUPILS:- Yes.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43The secret is I'm not a real teacher.

0:27:43 > 0:27:45GASPING

0:27:45 > 0:27:48And that was actually a magic trick.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51And if you look over there in that corner, that's a camera,

0:27:51 > 0:27:54that's a camera and over there, that's a camera

0:27:54 > 0:27:59because you're all being filmed right now for a new CBBC magic show.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01SHOUTS OF EXCITEMENT

0:28:06 > 0:28:08THEY SCREAM

0:28:08 > 0:28:10She did it!

0:28:10 > 0:28:15Katherine's brilliant quick-growing trick has totally fooled the class.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17I didn't know what I thought.

0:28:17 > 0:28:21I was just completely wordless and it was really amazing.

0:28:21 > 0:28:26Katherine pulled it off. The class had no idea she was a magician.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29We totally got them and they loved it.
