0:00:03 > 0:00:06CBBC have sent these four magicians into your schools.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08They are some of the hottest magicians
0:00:08 > 0:00:10in the country.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Our magicians went undercover
0:00:12 > 0:00:16and they pretended to be supply teachers.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21We hid secret cameras all over your classrooms
0:00:21 > 0:00:23and watched while you
0:00:23 > 0:00:26had the most incredible lessons.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Our magicians fooled whole classes
0:00:28 > 0:00:31and shocked them with their spectacular tricks.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33But did they come to your school?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35I never knew we were going to be on TV.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37- Did they trick you? - I'm just so freaked out!
0:00:37 > 0:00:40And did you shout...
0:00:43 > 0:00:48Hi, folks. I'm Iain with two Is - the spelling, obviously,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51not these bad boys - and welcome to the fresh new episode
0:00:51 > 0:00:56of Help! My Supply Teacher Is Magic. We have amazed hundreds of you guys
0:00:56 > 0:00:59by simply swapping your teacher with one of our magicians.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02That's pretty smooth operation.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Not only that - we have been secretly filming the results
0:01:05 > 0:01:08with special cameras hidden in the classroom.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Oh, yes - we are more clever than Professor Green,
0:01:12 > 0:01:16if Professor Green was a professor and not a rapper. Yep.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Anyway, the fun does not stop there.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21We'll be showing you loads of other mind-boggling stuff.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26Here's one of my favourite tricks - it's the spoon bending.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31You just have to rub the spoon and it just bends. It just bends.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32It just...
0:01:32 > 0:01:34RECORD SCRATCHES AND MUSIC STOPS
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Here's what's coming up.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41We're going to need a softer spoon! This is ridiculous!
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Fergus is going undercover to cause mayhem in this class of year fours.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Look - his magic flea is diving into the water.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Will Fergus' trick cause a splash?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56We're going to teach you a magic trick so you can fool your friends.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Grab a piece of paper and some scissors so you can join in.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Plus, you've been sending in clips of all your best magic tricks,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06and later on I'll be picking my five favourites.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Will you be one of my Wannabe Wizards?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- I bet... - BANGING
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I bet you think you would spot a fake teacher in the class,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18especially if they were doing magic, but it's not that easy.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22It's like wondering if you can cry underwater.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Anyhow, this is Fergus.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27He loves to string people along with his amazing tricks.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30He's about to go undercover as a supply teacher.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33The hidden cameras are set. Will it be your school?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Will it be your class? Let's find out.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Here's a year four class.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40They don't know it, but Fergus is about to give a history lesson
0:02:40 > 0:02:43that will go down in the history of their school.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47None of the class suspect there are hidden cameras in their classroom
0:02:47 > 0:02:50or realise that Fergus is not a real teacher, but can he keep it up?
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Today's lesson is going to be about history.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59As I've studied history, I've grown to really love one particular part
0:02:59 > 0:03:02of it, and that is the history of entertainment.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05The class don't look very entertained yet, mate.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09I've brought with me an incredible act.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12It's over 200 years old.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Whoa. That got their attention.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18It is the flea...
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- circus.- Whoa!
0:03:21 > 0:03:23They already love this lesson
0:03:23 > 0:03:27and they don't even realise that Fergus is an incredible magician.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Now, I'd like...
0:03:29 > 0:03:33to introduce you...
0:03:33 > 0:03:38to Finley. Now, Finley is the trapeze flying flea.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Here's a secret - there's no flea in that box.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45So, what I want to do to begin with is just to get Finley
0:03:45 > 0:03:49to sit up on that trapeze. So come on, Finley.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Come on. There he goes, up on to the trapeze. Excellent.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Now what he needs is lots of encouragement
0:03:56 > 0:03:58to start swinging the trapeze.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Ready? So lots of encouragement. Come on, Finley! Everybody!
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Finley! Come on, Finley! - CHILDREN SHOUT
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Oh!
0:04:07 > 0:04:09The trapeze is swinging, but it's all a trick.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13There's no flea and Fergus is no teacher.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Now we need to get Finley to loop the loop.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19I'm going to count down from three.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Three, two, one. - Come on, fake flea, Finley!
0:04:22 > 0:04:27- Oh!- Whoa - the trapeze has looped the loop, but how?
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Now, sometimes he can jump all the way over to the other trapeze.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Ready? Three, two, one!
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Oh! There he goes!
0:04:40 > 0:04:43And back on to the other trapeze - hup, oh, very good!
0:04:43 > 0:04:46The class absolutely love it,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48but have no idea that Fergus is fooling them all.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- A round of applause for Finley! - APPLAUSE
0:04:51 > 0:04:54The lesson is already legendary, but it's not over yet.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59Now, in the Amazon jungle - it's a huge, huge rainforest,
0:04:59 > 0:05:04ginormous animals - lives the flea...
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Tiny. Just because Tiny's small, it doesn't mean
0:05:08 > 0:05:12she's not brave and she's not one of the strongest.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16So I'm going to get Tiny out of the matchbox.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Tiny the flea is so tiny that she's not even there.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21It's another flea-sized fib.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Just there.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Now, I need someone to come up.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Whoa! I bet their hands have never shot up that quickly
0:05:29 > 0:05:31in a history lesson before!
0:05:31 > 0:05:32- What's your name?- Khalsa.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Khalsa? I'd like you to come to the side of the table
0:05:36 > 0:05:39and hold your hands just like this, because a couple of weeks ago
0:05:39 > 0:05:42when Tiny was training, she dived off the board,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45missed the pool and landed on this, so she hurt herself.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Tiny is going to attempt a two-and-a-half backward somersault
0:05:49 > 0:05:52with a two-and-a-half twist and a pike dive into the pool.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54According to Fergus, Tiny is about to do a Tom Daley,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56except she can't cos she's not actually there.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Now, Tiny, up to the diving board.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Excellent! Very good.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I want everyone - "Tiny, Tiny, Tiny..."
0:06:04 > 0:06:06CHILDREN CHANT
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Oooohhh!
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Hey, there she goes up, three somersaults and down into the pool.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Oh!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Whoa! That trick really made a splash.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Thank you, Khalsa, for your hands.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Round of applause for Tiny! - APPLAUSE
0:06:22 > 0:06:26The class are lapping it up, but there's more.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Last up is Sampson, the strong flea.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Now, Sampson is the daredevil.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Now, he's a lively one so as soon as I...
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Yep, there he goes, straight away, you see.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Sampson is going to flip this coin.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41It's the equivalent of him lifting weights.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43So I'm going to place him on to my hand.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46He's going to use all the power in his legs, back, arms,
0:06:46 > 0:06:51all his muscles and everything to get under that coin and hopefully...
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Can you see it? He's starting to lift it.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Look.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Whoa! Sampson the flea lifted 133 times his own body weight,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02or he would have if he was real.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Here is the final part.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Sampson is going to be placed into
0:07:07 > 0:07:09the death-defying cannon.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13He's going to be fired all the way across the flea circus
0:07:13 > 0:07:16and he's going to land on the carousel.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18This sounds like a spectacular finale.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23Come on, Sampson! Three, two, one...
0:07:23 > 0:07:28Oh! And there he goes, he's turned it.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Whoa! Explosions and acrobatics - that was a brilliant mixture.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Sampson, boys and girls!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36The class are loving his flea-sized tricks,
0:07:36 > 0:07:41but it's time for Fergus to let them in on our big secret.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Do you know what?
0:07:42 > 0:07:47This isn't really a flea circus and I'm not actually even a teacher,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50because I'm a magician.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53CHILDREN LAUGH
0:07:53 > 0:07:55All of you have been set up
0:07:55 > 0:07:59and you're all being filmed right now
0:07:59 > 0:08:03with hidden cameras for a new CBBC show!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06CHILDREN LAUGH AND SCREAM
0:08:06 > 0:08:08How good is that? And there's a camera there
0:08:08 > 0:08:11and a camera there!
0:08:14 > 0:08:19He did it! Fergus' flea circus has totally fooled the class.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22First, Finley the fake flea amazingly did the trapeze...
0:08:22 > 0:08:28My favourite part was when the first flea came and swung on the swings.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31..then Tiny the flea did a belly flop, except she wasn't there...
0:08:31 > 0:08:33It went everywhere.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36..and Sampson lifted a coin and got shot from the cannon,
0:08:36 > 0:08:37but not really.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I was so amazed.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Fergus pulled it off - the class had no idea he was a magician.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Would you realise your supply teacher was magic?
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Later on, James will also be going undercover as a supply teacher.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59He's got a lesson that will go with a bang.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Is this your class?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05This is John. He'll teach you the secret behind a trick you can use
0:09:05 > 0:09:08on your mates to blow their minds.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14If you fancy yourself as a magician, here's a trick you can try at home.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16You'll need a pair of scissors and a piece of paper.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19If you haven't got them already, go on, get them now, hurry!
0:09:19 > 0:09:22You back? Good.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Do you know how to make this shape using a piece of paper?
0:09:26 > 0:09:30It's really weird. That middle section can't come from either side.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Keep watching and you'll find out how to do it later in the show.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37This is Katherine.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40She can turn silver into gold! Well, bronze.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44And she's about to do a great trick at the theme park.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47This is Lewis and Emily.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50They're about to see an awesome trick that will bend their minds.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54I'm going to show you something very cool with this piece of plastic.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Now, have you ever collected any gaming cards?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- Yeah.- You have done?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01This is what is used to protect the cards.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I want you both to have a look at that for me
0:10:03 > 0:10:06because actually, I can get it to do some very strange things
0:10:06 > 0:10:10with a straw. So I'm going to put these ones away in my pocket.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12And what I'd like you to do, Emily,
0:10:12 > 0:10:16is just hold your hand out with your palm up and your fingers all spread.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17That's perfect.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20And if we could just get the cameraman to come in
0:10:20 > 0:10:22over the top here so everyone can see at home,
0:10:22 > 0:10:26and if you guys could just stare through the top of the lens as well.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Can you see that there?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Can you see the straw lying across your fingers? Yeah?
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Now, watch.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37If I turn the piece of plastic, it actually makes the...
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Whoa! It looks like the middle of the straw has vanished!
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Wow! Amazing!- Can you see that?
0:10:42 > 0:10:46It's very cool, but there's more to come.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48If I turn it back,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51it actually reappears again on your hand.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55It's very strange. And watch this.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Can you see if I twist it, it looks as if
0:10:57 > 0:11:02- the straw is actually twisting in your hand. Can you see that?- Yeah.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- Can you feel anything, Emily?- No.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07You can't feel anything? Actually, it looks like it's twisting
0:11:07 > 0:11:09because it is twisting
0:11:09 > 0:11:12and it's melting into a knot.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13Whoa!
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Whoa! Now that's good.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Wow! That's amazing!
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Let's get a rewind.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24And it's melting into a knot.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Whoa!
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Katherine made their straw melt into a knot before their eyes.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Unreal.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34That's almost impossible! It's a knot.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I'm speechless! It was so cool!
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I think it's amazing!
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Coming up, we've got another magic trick that will leave
0:11:43 > 0:11:47members of the public saying, "That was awesome."
0:11:47 > 0:11:50But right now, we have something amazing for you.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54This is the interactive illusion.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58This is a trick that you can take part in at home.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Here's James.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03He's ace at illusions and he's about to talk you through a trick
0:12:03 > 0:12:07that's interactive and intergalactic, so get involved.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Now it's time to do some magic on you guys at home
0:12:13 > 0:12:14which is out of this world.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Well, it uses the planets.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I want you to think of any one of
0:12:18 > 0:12:21the nine planets in our solar system.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Any one you like.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Can I just stop you there?
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Technically, Pluto was
0:12:25 > 0:12:27classified a dwarf planet in 2006,
0:12:27 > 0:12:29but I'll play along. Continue.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Have you got one? Good.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Place your finger
0:12:34 > 0:12:36on the picture of Neptune
0:12:36 > 0:12:38and spell out your selected planet
0:12:38 > 0:12:40by moving in a clockwise direction
0:12:40 > 0:12:42using one planet for each letter
0:12:42 > 0:12:44beginning with Jupiter.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46For example, if you're thinking
0:12:46 > 0:12:49of Mars, say M and touch Jupiter,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51say A and touch Earth,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53say R and touch Pluto...
0:12:53 > 0:12:54The dwarf planet.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57..then say S and touch Mercury.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58So, do that now
0:12:58 > 0:13:00beginning with Jupiter.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Keep your finger on the planet
0:13:07 > 0:13:08that falls on the final letter
0:13:08 > 0:13:10of the one you've just spelt.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Now, because you could have chosen
0:13:12 > 0:13:14to spell to any planet,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16there's no way I could possibly know
0:13:16 > 0:13:18which one you're touching.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Now, I want you to spell
0:13:20 > 0:13:21the name of the planet
0:13:21 > 0:13:23your finger is currently on.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Again, move around the solar system
0:13:26 > 0:13:27one planet at a time
0:13:27 > 0:13:28in a clockwise direction
0:13:28 > 0:13:31beginning with the next planet along.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Just like last time, keep your finger
0:13:39 > 0:13:41on the planet that falls
0:13:41 > 0:13:43on the final letter you've spelt.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Now, concentrate hard
0:13:46 > 0:13:48on the planet you're on.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Yes, your finger is on Earth.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Welcome home.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55How on Earth? Did it work for you?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00I've actually got songs about all the planets.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I call them my "Nep" tunes.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04HE LAUGHS
0:14:04 > 0:14:09Every week, we're bringing you a chart of the magic movers
0:14:09 > 0:14:13and shakers. We're calling that chart Wannabe Wizards.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I'm got my comfy chair, I've got my popcorn
0:14:16 > 0:14:20and I've got my laptop. Let's do this.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22We asked you to send in clips of yourself
0:14:22 > 0:14:25performing your best magic tricks.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28We received loads of clips from all over the country.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Each week, I will be choosing my five favourite wannabe wizards
0:14:31 > 0:14:33and showing them to you guys.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Number five this time is mind reader Jordan from Liverpool.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- I want you to stay stop whenever you like. Tell me when.- Stop.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43You're sure? OK.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46'His brother has randomly chosen a card.'
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Show it to the camera.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50'Yes, it's the six of diamonds.'
0:14:50 > 0:14:53OK. Keep saying it over and over in your head.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56'Six of diamonds, six of diamonds, six of diamonds...'
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I'm seeing your card. It's a six.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01'He's got a six. Good skills!'
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- It's red. - 'Yeah, it's red. Nice one!'
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Is it the six of diamonds?
0:15:07 > 0:15:11'It's the six of diamonds, yeah. How did he know that?'
0:15:11 > 0:15:15I wonder if he knows who's at four? It's Hattie from Rickmansworth.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18I have got an ordinary dice.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21'Looks ordinary, but it's not going to be.'
0:15:21 > 0:15:25I'm going to make this dice shrink in my magic shrinking box.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26- Ready? - 'I'm ready.'
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Two, one...
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Whoa! Not only has the dice shrunk, it's turned red.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33I can do that with my washing. Let's get a rewind.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Three, two, one.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37'I still can't work it out.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40'That dice is so small, it only goes up to three.'
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Which is handy cos at three, it's Alastair from Derbyshire.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47'He's mean, moody and in black and white.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50'Stop smiling, this is supposed to be moody!
0:15:50 > 0:15:53'His mate got the nine of hearts.'
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Now put it in the deck anywhere.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58'He's putting it back randomly into the pack.'
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Now I'll do some shuffling.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07'A quick shuffle and now watch closely. This blew my mind.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11'He's thrown the card, right through the window!
0:16:11 > 0:16:15'His mate can't get it through the glass, no matter how hard he tries.'
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Was that your card?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19And it's definitely his card.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- That trick's pure- GLASS, - but don't be a- PANE
0:16:21 > 0:16:23and throw stuff at windows.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Not even if you're expert juggler
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Charlie from Burgess Hill.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31I want you to touch a ball. No, not that one.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- 'He's a joker that Charlie!' - You can have that one if you want.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36But I'm going to take this one, OK?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I'm just going to place it in my hand, OK?
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Like this. You need to take this one and squeeze it real tight.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45'He's a bit rough with his mate's hand.'
0:16:45 > 0:16:46OK, hold it.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- 'They've both got a red ball.' - Now they're going to swap places.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Ready? Did you feel it going?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53I felt mine go.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57'Whoa, his ball's disappeared, and appeared in his mate's hand.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58'Great skills.'
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Who's my favourite, though?
0:17:00 > 0:17:04I'm not going to tell you yet, not before I put on
0:17:04 > 0:17:07my funny chart show voice. At five, it's mind-reading Jordan.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Hattie's no small dice at four.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Flying in to three, it's Alastair.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Ball control puts Charlie at two.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24And he was nearly my favourite.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28But out of the tones of wannabe wizards, my top one this time was...
0:17:28 > 0:17:31'Calum from Bristol. He's cleaned the kitchen with his hanky
0:17:31 > 0:17:33'and he's about to use it for an amazing trick.'
0:17:33 > 0:17:36If you watch the space just there, I'm just going to give it
0:17:36 > 0:17:41a little wave and a snap, and you can get a coin to appear inside.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43'Whoa! He made the coin appear from nowhere.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46'That's a new way of earning pocket money.'
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- The coin disappears again. - 'It's magically disappeared.'
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Like that.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54You can actually make the coin appear anywhere you want.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59For example, underneath my elbow. If you watch just there...
0:17:59 > 0:18:01'Whoa! the coin's appeared from his elbow,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03'but just wait for the grand finale.'
0:18:03 > 0:18:04..in my pocket. Snap!
0:18:04 > 0:18:08'I love that bit. A nice bottle of olive oil. That trick's sizzling.'
0:18:08 > 0:18:13Can't wait until next time for more Wannabe Wizards.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18But right now, time for another classic magic trick.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22The amazing dancing cane. Here we go, it's pretty impressive.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28PHONE RINGING
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Sorry, two seconds.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Hi? Oh, hi, Grandma.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Yeah, I know I've got Granddad's cane. It's for a trick.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Well, tell him he can stay sat down and watch these clips.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Katherine surprises this boy in a sports centre.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46How did she get that in there?
0:18:46 > 0:18:51And watch what happens when James goes undercover in another school.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Could it be your class? Could your supply teacher be magic?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57It's the moment you've been waiting for.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59A chance for you to learn how to fool your friends.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Me and John challenged you to make this impossible shape
0:19:04 > 0:19:06using a sheet of paper and scissors.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Come on, have you worked it out?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11How many of you got it?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Can you use glue? Nah!
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Can you cut it and tape it back together? Uh-uh!
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Go on, then. Show us the secret.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21You fold the paper in half.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Cut from one side to the centre crease.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Make two cuts on the other side of the paper.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Now fold the top and middle sections over.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40And re-crease.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44And that's it. Now you have an impossible object.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45Let's get a rewind.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Fold the paper in half,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50cut from one side to the centre crease.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Make two cuts on the other side, now fold the top and middle over
0:19:54 > 0:19:56and re-crease.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Did you get it? Are you amazing already?
0:19:58 > 0:20:03Now you've all got something to show off with in the playground.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08And Katherine's about to show off after school.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11In Undercover Magic, we hide cameras in all sorts of places.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Our magicians play tricks on members of the public
0:20:14 > 0:20:16who don't know they're being filmed.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19This is Katherine. She's at a sports centre.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21She wants to get a snack from the machine,
0:20:21 > 0:20:26but she doesn't have any money. No matter when you're a magician.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Whoa, she made a coin appear out of thin air!
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Watch this boy. He's been swimming and he's proud of his float.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37It looks like a big stick.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40But Katherine's about to go one better.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46I can't believe it. A huge magic wand.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Let's get a rewind.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51She pulled a massive wand from the vending machine.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55How did that get in there?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Looks like Katherine's got a new fan.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01And now John's about to get
0:21:01 > 0:21:04some more fans at this theme park.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07This is Beth, Louie and Georgia.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09They have no idea they're about
0:21:09 > 0:21:11to star in their own magic show.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Hold your hand out for me.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Just hang on to that. And you hold your hand out.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- Do you know what these are? - Pins?- Pins.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20They're not ordinary pins, they're called safety pins.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23If you put them together like that, they look like they link together.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26But they're not linked together, they're inside each other like that.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Look at them from both sides. They look like they're linked.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31But look. They actually are.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Whoa!
0:21:32 > 0:21:34'Whoa! But there's more.'
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Now I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to do that again.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39OK? But this time, I'll try not to touch the pins.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I'm just going to flick the pin, so watch.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47And they link.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50'Whoa! How did he do that?'
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Shall we try and push it one more stage?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I think we're being a bit brave, but we'll try.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Can you hold that pin at each end with your fingers like this?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03That's great. I'm going to hang this pin on to that,
0:22:03 > 0:22:05so leave go with this hand. I'm going to hang that one on there.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10Then I'm going to hang this one on here. Are you ready?
0:22:10 > 0:22:14One, two, three.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Yes!
0:22:15 > 0:22:19'That's the best one yet. Can I get a rewind?'
0:22:19 > 0:22:22One, two, three. Yes!
0:22:22 > 0:22:25'They can't believe it and neither can I.'
0:22:25 > 0:22:28How?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30I don't know how he did it.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I was just holding it
0:22:32 > 0:22:36and it just suddenly came into one
0:22:36 > 0:22:40and it was really, really cool.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42All he did was flick it.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45I reckon you could probably do that with coat hangars.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Watch as these coat hangars magically join together.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53OK, this is pretty powerful.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Now it's time for James to fool another unsuspecting class.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05He's at another school.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08He's going undercover as a supply teacher to do an incredible trick.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Is it your school? Is it your class?
0:23:12 > 0:23:16And will the class realise that their supply teacher is magic?
0:23:16 > 0:23:20These year six pupils think they're coming in to learn science,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23but this is a lesson that will get an unusual reaction.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25The classroom's been rigged with hidden cameras
0:23:25 > 0:23:28and James has got a trick that really pops.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30They have no idea.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33We're doing a science experiment this morning
0:23:33 > 0:23:36that's hopefully going to be quite fun.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38I'm going to use one of these.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43And in addition to the balloon,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47we're also going to be using one of these.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48A big needle.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51He's not joking - that's the biggest needle I've ever seen.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54James can use one because he's a trained magician
0:23:54 > 0:23:56but you aren't at home, so no big needles, you hear?
0:23:56 > 0:24:01Now, I've got some nice gloves and I've also got these funky glasses.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04He may look ridiculous, but this get-up should convince the class
0:24:04 > 0:24:09he's a real science teacher before he does some serious magic.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11You might want to put your hands on your ears.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14One balloon plus one big needle plus hands over ears...
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Even I know the answer to this equation.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18..two, three...
0:24:18 > 0:24:21There it goes.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23The lesson's started with a bang,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26but soon he's going to blow their minds.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27We're going to try this again.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Now this time, what I've got with me is a very special spray.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37And this spray comes all the way from America.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41That's a big fib, James, and you know it.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42This is where the magic starts.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45What it does is it changes all the molecules in the balloon
0:24:45 > 0:24:48and therefore, the balloon is not only a lot more flexible,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51but it's a lot stronger.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54So if we put a little bit of a spray at that end...
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I'm going to let you in on a secret. That spray is really just tap water.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Just rub it in.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04If this works, I should be able to push the needle
0:25:04 > 0:25:07all the way through the balloon without it popping.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09He's going to do what?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12That sounds impossible and the class thinks so, too.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Put your hands on your ears just in case.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18This could be an explosive trick. I'm putting ear defenders on.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19The needle's about to go in.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23It's going in and it's... How's he doing that?
0:25:23 > 0:25:26The needle has pierced the balloon and it hasn't popped.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29That's incredible, but James is not through yet.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- Right the way through. - CLASS: Whoa!
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Now it's come out the other side and there's still no pop.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39The class can't believe their eyes or ears.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Not only that, we can pull it all the way through.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Even the knot on the thread.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Nobody could ever do this. It's impossible.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54But it's done, thanks to that spray.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56The needle's come all the way out and the string.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59That's unbelievable. But is it a real balloon.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02I've only treated the top and the bottom of this balloon, haven't I?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05You've treated us though, James, to a magic masterclass.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09What do you think will happen when I touch the side of the balloon?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Do you think so? OK, hands on ears.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16One, two, three.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- And there it is. - The balloon is real!
0:26:18 > 0:26:21But James is not a real teacher and he's about to blow his cover.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24In a normal lesson, I'd have you take out your exercise books
0:26:24 > 0:26:26and write up the experiment.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28But this isn't a normal lesson.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I'm not actually a real teacher. I'm a magician.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32I knew it!
0:26:32 > 0:26:34And see that little mirrored box at the back
0:26:34 > 0:26:37and this little mirrored box here and that box there?
0:26:37 > 0:26:41If you give them a little wave, you are currently being filmed
0:26:41 > 0:26:44for a new TV show on CBBC called Help! My Supply Teacher Is Magic.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46CLASS: Whoo!
0:26:51 > 0:26:52He did it.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56James' brilliant magic spray trick has totally fooled the class.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02First he sprayed the balloon with magic spray,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04which is really just tap water.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I was really shocked
0:27:06 > 0:27:10when he put the needle right through the balloon.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13And then he magically passed the needle all the way through
0:27:13 > 0:27:17the balloon without it popping.
0:27:17 > 0:27:22It was so cool cos we didn't know that we were going to be filmed.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24James pulled it off.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26The class had no idea he was a magician.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30We totally got them and they loved it.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40I think we can all agree that we've had another stunner of a show.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44We will see you later, but until then, if you're at school and you
0:27:44 > 0:27:48think something magical is brewing, maybe you need to shout
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Help! My Supply Teacher Is Magic!
