0:01:01 > 0:01:04But before all that, it's time for your first taste of epicness.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08If you want to be able to sing with your hands, then here's how.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Hey, I'm Matt. And I'm going to teach you how to sign along to a pop song.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Meet Matt Morgan.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16He's so epic at sign language that he performed it
0:01:16 > 0:01:21in the video for Ed Sheeran's You Need Me, I Don't Need You.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23# Cos you need me, man, I don't need you
0:01:23 > 0:01:25# You need me, man, I don't eat you. #
0:01:25 > 0:01:29And now, he's going to teach you how to do it. But what song?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31# Don't need you. #
0:01:31 > 0:01:33I've decided to sign the chorus of
0:01:33 > 0:01:35One Direction, What Makes You Beautiful?
0:01:35 > 0:01:39# Baby, you light up my world Like nobody else. #
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Classic choice, Matt, I love these guys.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Especially Barry.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46# But when you smile at the ground It ain't hard to tell
0:01:46 > 0:01:51# You don't know, oh-oh You don't know you're beautiful. #
0:01:51 > 0:01:54'OK, Matt, so what does the chorus look like in sign?'
0:01:54 > 0:01:59Baby, you light up my world Like nobody else.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02The way that you flip your hair Gets me overwhelmed.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06But when you smile at the ground It ain't hard to tell
0:02:06 > 0:02:09You don't know you're beautiful.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Slow down there, fast hands.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Think you might need to break that down a bit. Line one.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16The first line of the chorus.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Baby, you light up by world like nobody else.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Baby, you light up my world Like nobody else.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Line two.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27The way that you flick your hair Gets me overwhelmed.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Nice and easy. Line three.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33But when you smile at the ground It's not hard to tell.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35And line four.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37You don't know you're beautiful.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41All right, people. Got that? Good. Let's put it all together.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46# Baby, you light up my world Like nobody else
0:02:46 > 0:02:50# The way that you flip your hair Gets me overwhelmed
0:02:50 > 0:02:54# But when you smile at the ground It ain't hard to tell
0:02:54 > 0:02:59# You don't know, oh-oh You don't know your beautiful...#
0:02:59 > 0:03:04'Don't stop now, Matt, I'm just starting to get my groove on, here.'
0:03:04 > 0:03:07And that was how to sign along to a pop song.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Thanks, Matt, you sign language legend.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13OK, friends, that's the first slab of epicosity over and done with.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16But there's loads more coming your way.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Next, if you dream of scoring the winning goal in the World Cup,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21then pay attention, as this could really help you out.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26We're talking about the epic penalty.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28And to show you how to take the perfect kick,
0:03:28 > 0:03:32we've got Kim Little of Team GB and Arsenal Ladies FC.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Hi, I'm Kim Little, midfielder for Arsenal FC,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38and I'm going to show you how to take a penalty kick.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39That's kind of what I said.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43And that's not taking a penalty, you cheat!
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Firstly, decide your penalty plan and where you're going to aim in
0:03:46 > 0:03:50the goal. For me, it's either bottom right or the bottom left,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52so it's hard for the goalkeeper to get to.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58OK, first up, figure out where you're going to place the ball.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Try and get it as far away from the keeper as possible.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Next, you need to select the type of shot you're going to take.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Either steer your laces for power or with your instep for accuracy.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11OK, belt it with your laces for power
0:04:11 > 0:04:14or inside your foot for accuracy. What she said.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Now, it's all about body language. Keep your body straight to the ball
0:04:21 > 0:04:25so the goalkeeper doesn't know where you're going to put it.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- What a goal!- And that...
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- ..is how to score a penalty. - Back up the net.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35On we go, and now for something completely different.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37From looking good on the pitch to being super smooth
0:04:37 > 0:04:39in your local posh restaurant.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Here's everything you need to know to stop you
0:04:41 > 0:04:44making an idiot of yourself at the table.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Hello. I'm Aaron Craze, I'm going to show you how to eat
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- in a posh restaurant.- Nice.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54It happens to most of us at some point with the family,
0:04:54 > 0:04:58it can be daunting - a visit to a posh restaurant.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01But how are you supposed eat in one?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04On hand to help, we've got legendary chef, CBBC's Mr Craze,
0:05:04 > 0:05:09who, when not on your telly box, is working in a right posh gaff.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13OK, first things first, you have to dress up. Exhibit A.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Look at me, looking suave.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18You can't just rock up in your muddy PE kit, that is a no-no.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I'll go change.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22When you get there and you're sat down, first thing you need
0:05:22 > 0:05:27to do is get your napkin and put it nice and neatly across your lap.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30And when you've finished, you put it on the table,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33not on the plate or on the chair.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36And definitely do not blow your nose with it.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Oh, Aaron, you joker.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Now, when you get a bread roll in a restaurant, tear it in half.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Never cut it with a knife, don't ask me why, it's just not the posh way.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Next up is the cutlery. Now, there is loads of it.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54But don't be overwhelmed.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Golden rule is always work from the outside in.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Your first course, you're going to use your outside knife and forks,
0:06:00 > 0:06:02and then etc, entrees,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05starters, mains, work your way in.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08You with me? Good. Now, we've got dessert.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Dessert cutlery is always at the top of the place setting.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15A good way to remember this is - it's been "desserted" there.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- That's how I do it, anyway.- Clever. What about your food?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21When your food arrives and it's too hot, don't blow on it.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24If it's too hot, take the hint, let it cool down.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27It's not cool to do that in a posh restaurant, man.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29I'll never blow again, unless I'm in a fast food joint.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32And that is how you eat in a posh restaurant.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37If that's got you in the mood for more epicness,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40then wait until you see what's still to come.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42This guy shows you how to ski backwards.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47This dude tells you how to solve one of these things.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49One Rubik's cube, solved.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51And this girl shows you how to look epic in photos.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55There's nothing worse than seeing stray pants in your photographs.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59But first, what do you do if man's best friend, the robot,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02of course, turn against you? This kid knows.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Robots are definitely epic. But they haven't half come a
0:07:08 > 0:07:11long way since the first ones made it onto our TVs.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Today's robots are much more advanced,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18helping us out with all sorts of complicated tasks.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21But what if one day they decided to stop helping us
0:07:21 > 0:07:23and started helping themselves?
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Think it can't happen? Well, picture this scene.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32You're heating up last night's pizza in the microwave.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35You wait for it to beep when it's ready.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Something very strange happens instead.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39It begins to flash a message.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47'It's alive! It's a full-on robot uprising.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48'So how do you survive?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51'Well, we found a professor of robotics who knows what to do.'
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Hi, I'm Professor Noel Sharkey,
0:07:55 > 0:07:59and I'm here to tell you how to survive a robot uprising.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Make it quick, Noel, it's really kicking off back in our kitchen.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Robots can only see with cameras and electronic sensors.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11You can easily beat cameras by flashing a bright light into them.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15OK, so locate the torch your mum and dad keep under the stairs.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19That should hold them off for a bit. What else, Noel?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21You could try setting up mirrors
0:08:21 > 0:08:23so that they can see their own reflection.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25That will really confuse them.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Brilliant idea! Go and grab your mum's full-length mirror.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Before they know it, they'll have forgotten all about you
0:08:31 > 0:08:34and be more interested in themselves.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Any other tips, Noel?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Run into a sandpit. Robots hate sand.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Or you could put sand in its path, or pour sand over it.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Ah, sand clogs their mechanisms. Great idea.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Hang on a moment.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52What happens if you don't live near a beach? Help us, Noel!
0:08:52 > 0:08:56All robots are powered by batteries and they have to recharge.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01So just relax, chill for a bit, and then strike.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Ah, sounds good.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Just hide out in your bedroom and wait until their batteries run out.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11And that's how to survive a robot uprising.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Phew, thanks, Noel. You had us worried there for a minute.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16So, on to the next.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19If you've ever had your photo taken and been very disappointed
0:09:19 > 0:09:23with the result, here's how you can never have that again.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29We've got a stylist to stars such as Labrinth, Cher Lloyd and JLS
0:09:29 > 0:09:32to let you know how you can achieve that pop star look,
0:09:32 > 0:09:33you lucky things.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Hi, my name's Ayishat, fashion stylist to some of your
0:09:36 > 0:09:37favourite music celebs.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Today, I'm going to be showing you how to look cool in photographs.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Now, being so beautiful, looking bad in photos
0:09:43 > 0:09:45isn't a problem that I have.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Lesson one, the bathroom shot.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Bathrooms have the best mirrors in the house,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51which is why when you flip through your friends' photographs,
0:09:51 > 0:09:54you see so many. Why don't you take to your bathroom
0:09:54 > 0:09:56and create your very own famous mirror shot?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- Maybe I will.- This lesson is in knowing your angles.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01You could do this by using your phone. Try from the right.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Try from the left. And try from below.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Find an angle that looks epic. - What's next?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Whilst you are important to your picture, so are your surroundings.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13If you're going to take your pictures in your bedroom,
0:10:13 > 0:10:14make sure your room is tidy.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17There's nothing worse than seeing stray pants in your photographs.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19That would be totally embarrassing.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- How did she get hold of my pants? - And finally, don't try too hard.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24If you're trying to look cool, the chances are,
0:10:24 > 0:10:26you're doing the complete opposite.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28To avoid looking like you're straining on the toilet with your
0:10:28 > 0:10:31poses, do something funny, try a funny face, something that
0:10:31 > 0:10:34makes people laugh, no-one has a problem with that.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Be cool by not being cool. Interesting.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39And that, my friends, is how to look good in photographs.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Thanks, Ayishat. I now look gorgeous.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47OK, ever had a go at a Rubik's cube and felt like a right dunderhead?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Well, this maths expert knows how to make you look a right
0:10:50 > 0:10:51brainbox on it instead.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I'm Matt Parker and I'm here to show you how to make it
0:10:56 > 0:10:58look like you can solve a Rubik's cube.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Hang on, maths man, you mean, you're not actually going to solve it?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07The trick with the Rubik's cube is that you could do the same
0:11:07 > 0:11:09combinations of moves over and over again,
0:11:09 > 0:11:12you'll eventually end up back where you started.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14So you're not technically solving the Rubik's cube,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16but all your friends will think you are.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Sneaky, I like his style.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Now, you must remember, start with a solved Rubik's cube.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23This is the best way to do it.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26You take the right side of the cube and you twist that down towards you.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29And then with your left hand, you twist the left side away.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Then you turn the cube around.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34If you repeat that over and over, 12 of these later,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37you'll end up back where you started. About halfway through,
0:11:37 > 0:11:41you get this kind of jazzy pattern, and then finally, you'll end up
0:11:41 > 0:11:44with the cube right back where you started.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46So, start with a solved cube.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Right-hand side towards you, left away.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54Turn it around and repeat 12 times, and practice probably makes perfect.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01- Genius!- So there you have it, one Rubik's cube solved.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06Sort of, you cheeky little number Rubik's cube maestro.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Right, time for one last dose of epicness.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11It's skiing and going backwards. Epic!
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Skiing is one of the funnest things you can do in life,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19but why always go forwards when you can go backwards?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22And we've got a top freestyle skier to show you how to do it.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Hello, I'm Woodsy, and I'm going to teach you how to ski backwards.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33So, starting facing up the hill in a backwards V-shape,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36you're going to use your big toes to control your speed and to stop.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Do make sure that you're wearing ski shoes,
0:12:39 > 0:12:41otherwise those big toes will get a little bit nippy.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Next, coming sideways across the slope,
0:12:44 > 0:12:48you're going to step with your skis into the V, around the corner,
0:12:48 > 0:12:50and then step again across the slope and out.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Once your comfortable skiing backwards,
0:12:54 > 0:12:56you're going to stagger your stance
0:12:56 > 0:12:59and you'll have a much better view of where you're going,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01so let it flow.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03And that is how to ski backwards.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Thank you, Woodsy, you ski wizard.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Right, that brings us to the end of 15 minutes of total,
0:13:13 > 0:13:18random epicness. You should now be able to try this...
0:13:18 > 0:13:19And this...
0:13:19 > 0:13:24And even that. So, go forth and be epic at everything!
0:13:29 > 0:13:33If you want to be really epic, then head on over to the CBBC website,
0:13:33 > 0:13:39where you can watch all the videos again and again and again,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42so you can truly master your epicness.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Epic!
