0:00:06 > 0:00:08Welcome to the world of Epic...
0:00:11 > 0:00:15..the place where you can become a master at everything on the planet.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21No matter what it is, this programme shows you how to do it.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27So sit back, strap yourself in and get ready to become
0:00:27 > 0:00:29epic at everything!
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Welcome to your total random fix of epicness.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41We've got an amazing line-up of experts, hotshots and all-round
0:00:41 > 0:00:45dudes with the low-down on how you can do what they can do.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48In just 15 minutes, you will know how to...
0:00:48 > 0:00:51curve a ball, race like an Olympian,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54treat a cut, herd sheep,
0:00:54 > 0:00:56draw a cartoon,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59and this kid shows you how to fly a fighter jet.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02But before all that, it's time for your first stop
0:01:02 > 0:01:06on your epic journey. Do you carry a deck of cards wherever you go?
0:01:06 > 0:01:10No, course you don't. Nobody does, except wizards.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12That's what wizards do. Like this fella.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17I'm Ben, I'm a magician, and I'm going to show you how to do
0:01:17 > 0:01:21a cool magic trick using a deck of cards.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23OK, Ben, bring it on.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27I've got the black eight and nine
0:01:27 > 0:01:31and I'm going to place the nine about there,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34and then I'll whack the eight about there.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36We're with you so far, magic man.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Now, normally it would take me a while to find those two cards,
0:01:39 > 0:01:40but check this out.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Pretty cool, huh?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Nice one, Harry Potter. Now, please, tell us how it's done.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51This trick works because the two cards that you started with,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53the eight of spades and the nine of clubs,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55are not the two cards that you end with -
0:01:55 > 0:01:58the eight of clubs and the nine of spades.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00And the beauty of this trick is the audience never even
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- realise they switch.- Sneaky.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06So the first thing you need to do is go through the deck and take out the
0:02:06 > 0:02:08eight of spades and the nine of clubs,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10and the eight of clubs and the nine of spades.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Then you need to take the eight of clubs and place it face down
0:02:13 > 0:02:16on the top of the deck, and the nine of spades on the bottom of the deck.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- Got it so far. - Then place the nine of clubs
0:02:20 > 0:02:23and the eight of spades face down on the table, and you're ready to start.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Remember, do this bit before your audience arrive.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Otherwise, you'll be busted before you've even got going.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34To start, tell your audience you've got a black eight and nine.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Do not mention their suits, as you don't want them
0:02:37 > 0:02:38to remember them at the end.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Now ask your spectators to put the cards in separate
0:02:42 > 0:02:44positions into the deck.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47One there and one there.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Tell them it would take you a while to find those two cards,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54which it would, but then you do this move.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Place your thumb on the top, four fingers on the bottom, you're going
0:02:59 > 0:03:03to flick the cards into your other hand that is going to catch them.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08All the cards will go except for the bottom and the top card. Like this.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Your audience will be amazed and they will have no idea
0:03:14 > 0:03:18that these two cards are different to the ones you started with.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Suckers.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22That was a cool magic trick with a deck of cards.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26That's the first epic hit done
0:03:26 > 0:03:28but there's way more to come. Next up is a football trick
0:03:28 > 0:03:32so cool that it will make you look like a right hero on match day.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37It's one of the most epic tricks ever -
0:03:37 > 0:03:39the Bend It Like Beckham.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42And we've got one of the best female footballers in the country
0:03:42 > 0:03:44to show you how to do it.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Hi, I'm Kim Little, I'm midfielder for Arsenal Ladies
0:03:47 > 0:03:49and I'm going to show you how to bend a ball like Beckham.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Goal! Now, show us how you did it.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Firstly, you need to assess the situation and see
0:03:56 > 0:03:59if the ball is near enough to the goal to shoot.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Next, select where you're going to shoot,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02either near-post or far-post,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04and if you're going to put it over the wall or around the wall.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Wall means defenders, by the way.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09To coil your free kick around the defenders, you want to take four
0:04:09 > 0:04:13steps back, and use the inside of your foot for power and accuracy.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16This also puts a spin on the ball, which makes it curve in the air.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Practise lots in the training field, and bending it like Beckham
0:04:19 > 0:04:21will look like this...
0:04:23 > 0:04:25And that's how to bend a ball like Beckham.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Cheers, Kim, you swervy striker.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Right, now for something totally different.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33If you're the kind of kid who likes to move sheep around,
0:04:33 > 0:04:35then check this out.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39We've got a top farmer to tell you all you need to
0:04:39 > 0:04:40know about sheep-herding.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I'm Gareth, and this is how we herd sheep.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Gareth Wyn Jones has been herding sheep for over 40 years.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51He's an expert in all things farming.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54But tell us, Gareth, how do you herd sheep?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57There's several types of dogs used to herd sheep,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- but I tend to use the Border Collie. - Wise choice.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- I think they're a lovely dog. - Oh, Tess, you are a little cutie!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06They're very hardworking, very obedient
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- and they're man's best friend.- Aww.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Once you've got your dog, it needs to be trained.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14There's several commands that we use
0:05:14 > 0:05:16and the main one is the stop command.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18HE WHISTLES Lie down.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21That's the most important command you'll ever have on your dog.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25So then, we've got the "come by" which is to the left.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Come by.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Then, you have the "away" which is the command to the right.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Away. HE WHISTLES
0:05:34 > 0:05:38And then you have the give-up, the "that'll do".
0:05:38 > 0:05:40That'll do.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41'And give them plenty of love.'
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Because once they've done their job, they need a little bit of TLC.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Good girl, give up, good girl.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50After lots of cuddling, training and practise, you're finally
0:05:50 > 0:05:52ready to herd some sheep.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Away. HE WHISTLES
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Look at those little fellas run! Go on, Tess!
0:06:01 > 0:06:04So, Gareth uses different commands...
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Come by.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- ..to instruct Tess...- Lie down.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10..to direct the sheep into the pen.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Job well done, Gareth and Tess.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14And that's how you herd sheep.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Hey, that'll do.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22If you thought that was epic, then wait until you see this lot.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25This girl tells you how to run off these things.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29This guy tells you how to treat a cut.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Ah! Ah!
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- And this dude shows you how to turn your mates into cartoons.- Ta-da!
0:06:36 > 0:06:38But first, do you want to be a fighter pilot?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41This kid will show you how.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Fighter jets are most definitely epic.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47If you had about £70 million going spare,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50you could treat yourself one of the fastest planes in the skies.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53The only problem is, you'd also need to be one of the most
0:06:53 > 0:06:56highly-trained pilots in the world.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Think it's unlikely you'd get to fly one? Well, picture this scene.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06You're at an airshow and you take a wrong turn.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Before you know it, you're mistaken for a pilot,
0:07:08 > 0:07:12put in a fighter jet, and told to get going.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Looks like it's time for you to earn your wings.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18But how on earth do you fly one of these bad-boys?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Hi, my name's Mark Bowman and I'm a test pilot.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I'm going to show you how to fly this fighter jet,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26a most awesome machine.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Check this dude out, he looks like he means business.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Let's head to the fancy flight simulator that all
0:07:32 > 0:07:35pilots master their skills in.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37So here we are on the end of the runway and ready to go,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40and I'm going to accelerate to 150mph in four seconds.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43My left hand controls the throttle leavers,
0:07:43 > 0:07:47and I have to push them fully forward for maximum speed.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Warning - this isn't the ideal time to eat a packed lunch.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54To get the aircraft airborne, I have the control column in front of me.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I need to just pull this stick backwards,
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- and she goes straight up like a rocket.- Boom!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02If you did manage to eat any of that packed lunch,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05this would be the moment you'll probably say hello to it again.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Controlling the aircraft is easy.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12If I want to go left, I turn to the left with the stick.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Going to the right, I turn to the right with the stick.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19In fact, if I push the stick hard over, I go round and round,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22a little bit like being in a washing machine.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24How completely cool would that be?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26That's as long as your idea of cool is
0:08:26 > 0:08:29feeling like a pair of dirty socks on a spin cycle.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35When I'm out there, it's important that I keep safe.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I sit on an ejection seat, and I have a handle underneath my legs
0:08:38 > 0:08:39if I've to get out in a hurry.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42But what happens if you actually pull that handle?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Oh, right. Bad idea.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Landing the aircraft couldn't be simpler,
0:08:48 > 0:08:52all I need to do is put the circular computer symbol at the point where I
0:08:52 > 0:08:57want to land, and fly down that path until the wheels touch the runway.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Really? This flying thing is easy.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03And that's how to fly a fighter jet.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06And that's also how you pose in front of a fighter jet.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Thanks, Mark. Two things in one. What a guy.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15From speeding in a fighter jet to sprinting off the starting blocks.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19If you want to be an Olympic superstar, then pay close attention.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Hi, I'm Katarina Johnson-Thompson. I'm an Olympic athlete,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26and I'm going to show you how to be the first off the starting blocks.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Olympic heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson knows all there is
0:09:30 > 0:09:33to know about using these babies. They're starting blocks.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Use them well, and they'll help you kick off a race perfectly.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Using starting blocks for the first time is a bit weird,
0:09:40 > 0:09:42but it gives you a solid platform for you to push off.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45If it's good enough for you, Olympic hero lady,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48it's definitely good enough for us. But how do we use them?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50You need to put your hands shoulder-width apart,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53and your fingers and thumbs parallel to the starting line.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Ooh, nice nails, girlfriend.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Right, we've got our stance sorted, what next?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Push off with your back leg, and drive forward.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05And she's off! And the crowd go wild.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09And that was how to be the first off the starting blocks.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Thanks, Katarina, give that girl a gold medal.
0:10:14 > 0:10:20Onwards we go, my friends. Next, we all get them and, oh! How they can
0:10:20 > 0:10:23hurt, but we've got someone who can help you deal with them.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26I'm Dr Chris Van Tulleken,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29and I'm going to be showing you how to deal with cuts.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Cuts and grazes are a really common injury,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34and for the most part, they're not serious.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36In fact, if you're not getting cuts and grazes,
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- you're probably not having enough fun.- What?!
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Most cuts, you can deal with yourself.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42But there are some bigger cuts that need a grown-up
0:10:42 > 0:10:44and special medical attention.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47If you've got a serious cut, what you can do while
0:10:47 > 0:10:49you're waiting for a grown-up or medical help
0:10:49 > 0:10:52is put pressure on it in order to stop bleeding.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57If you've got a small cut, I'll show you how to deal with it. Argh! A cut!
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- Luckily, this one's made of strawberry jam.- Oh, he's a joker!
0:10:59 > 0:11:02The first thing to do is to clean the cut under running water.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04OK, give it a good clean.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Pat the area dry with a clean towel.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09After you've dried it, put on a plaster.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12But make sure you're not allergic to them, first.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Don't use antiseptic creams or sprays,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16they can interfere with the wound healing.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17If it continues to ooze blood,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20you can use some tissue to apply pressure to it.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- I feel a bit queasy.- Alternatively, if you're lucky enough to have a cut
0:11:23 > 0:11:26made of strawberry jam like mine is, you can just lick it off.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- He's not going to.... Oh, he has.- Mmm!
0:11:29 > 0:11:32So remember, clean your hands and the cut.
0:11:32 > 0:11:38Pat it dry, apply a plaster if you're not allergic to them, and if
0:11:38 > 0:11:41it continues to bleed, apply more pressure until you can get help.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43And that is how to treat a cut.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Right, time for one last dose of epicness,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50and this one is for all you budding artists out there.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53If you have a pencil and a friend, then you can do this!
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Here's CBBC's Ed Petrie to show you how to create
0:11:58 > 0:12:00your very own masterpiece.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I'm Ed Petrie off the telly, and I'm going to show you how to turn
0:12:03 > 0:12:05someone you know into a cartoon character.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- He got a cat on his T-shirt? - First, you need a picture of the
0:12:08 > 0:12:10person you're drawing, so you can keep checking it all the time,
0:12:10 > 0:12:12make sure it looks like them.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I've picked my younger brother John because he's really annoying.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- It's payback time! - What's with all the cats?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Now, the first thing I always start on is the eyes.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23It's like real life, when you meet someone for the first time,
0:12:23 > 0:12:26you look in their eyes, you don't look at their hand or their foot.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- That would be a bit weird. - I look at their hands and feet.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Then you want to find a feature to exaggerate a bit,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34so I've picked my brother's nose.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36You've picked your brothers nose? Bit disgusting, really.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- I've made it a bit wider than it is in normal life.- Ah, I see.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42When you draw the hair, don't worry about drawing every single
0:12:42 > 0:12:45little hair on their head because you'll be there all day.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47So I'm just going to give him a big block of hair.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Also, the nice thing about drawing is that you can add things
0:12:50 > 0:12:52you can't have in a photograph, so I'm going to put a little
0:12:52 > 0:12:55love-heart in because he loves his cat so much.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56I'm a dog person, myself.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Once I've got it all drawn out, if I'm doing something big like this,
0:13:00 > 0:13:04what I like to do afterwards is thicken the lines.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06It makes it look like you've done it with a brush,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- and you're really professional and clever.- Nice tip, Ed.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11So once you've done that, it's time to colour it in.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Ed uses a computer, but you can use a felt tip or anything you like.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20Once all that's done, print it out, and ta-da!
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- An Ed Petrie masterpiece. - Masterpiece, indeed.
