0:00:39 > 0:00:42So grab a tray and head to the buffet of epic-ocity for your first
0:00:42 > 0:00:44taste of brilliance.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46And for this, you're going to need a partner.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- Hi, I'm AJ.- And I'm Chloe.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55And we're going to teach you how to jive like a Strictly superstar.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59That's the jive and it's one of the funkiest dances in show business.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01It's full of flicks, kicks and twists.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04That's a whole load of epic-ness in just one dance.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05But how's it done, guys?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07So we'll start with the girls.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Going back on your right foot. Back, replace, side, close, side.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Side, side, close, side, back, replace.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Side, close, side, side, close, side, back, replace.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- OK.- And what about us boys?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23The boy's steps are exactly the same except for we go back
0:01:23 > 0:01:24on our left foot first.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31Back, replace, side, close, side, side, close, side, back, replace.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Side, close, side, side, close, side, back, replace.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Got it, I think.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Once you get the hang of the basic steps, you can
0:01:37 > 0:01:41now make it a real jive by adding in some flicks and kicks.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42You're going to go...
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Back, replace, step, kick, step, kick.- Got it.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Step, kick, step, kick, step, kick...- Stop.- Oh!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51It's more of a flick than a kick.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53We release from the knee, making sure the toe is pointed
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- and snap that leg back in and add a hop. And flick...- Got it.
0:01:57 > 0:02:03- Flick, flick, flick, flick... Oh.- Perfect.- Thanks, AJ.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05After a bit of practice, you put it together
0:02:05 > 0:02:06and it should look like this.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11That is fast.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15You're jiving me crazy. Hey?
0:02:18 > 0:02:19That's how you do the jive.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Epic. Thanks, guys.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28That's one epic film down but there's plenty more where
0:02:28 > 0:02:31that came from, and this next trick will make you look truly cool
0:02:31 > 0:02:33next time you're at the ice rink.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Hi, I'm Richard, and I'm going to show you how to stop in style.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Now that is stylish.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43That's called the hockey stop.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Hockey players use it to change direction quickly,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48but we use it just because it looks really cool.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Epic stopping. How do you do that?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55First of all, we crouch down real low,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58then we turn our whole body sideways
0:02:58 > 0:03:02and then we dig our skates in and that creates the cool spray.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Whoa! Let's have a rewind.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08To do the hockey stop, crouch real low, turn your body sideways
0:03:08 > 0:03:09and dig your heels in.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- That is how to stop in style. - Cheers, Rich.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Onwards we march to more epic-elicious content.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22From stopping on ice to juggling with balls is how we do.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26If you love to throw things in the air and then catch them,
0:03:26 > 0:03:30then the art of juggling will be right up your street.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Hi, I'm Eddie and I'm going to show you how to juggle with
0:03:32 > 0:03:34a three ball cascade.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Classic.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37You're going to start with one ball.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Throw it from the inside of your body to the outside of your body.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- And then do the same in the opposite direction.- Easy peasy.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Keep repeating so the ball travels in a sideways figure of
0:03:49 > 0:03:53eight between your hands and peaks just above your opposite shoulder.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58OK, I think I'm ready to add in another ball. What do we do, Eddie?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Throw the ball as you did before.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03At its highest point, throw the second ball.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06You want to throw it in this rhythm. Throw, throw, catch, catch.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Through your balls in a throw, throw, catch, catch rhythm.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- What's next? - Practice starting with both hands.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18- Right throw, left throw and left throw, right throw.- OK.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Alternate your throwing pattern.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Now you've done that, let's add the third ball
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- and start juggling for real. - I'm ready, Eddie.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Like before, when the second ball reaches its highest point,
0:04:29 > 0:04:30you add the third.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33You should never have two balls in your hand apart from
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- when you start and when you stop. - Smooth.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Now I don't know about you, but I need another look at this.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42To do a three ball cascade, start with one ball and throw from
0:04:42 > 0:04:46side to side, then add in a second when the first ball reaches the
0:04:46 > 0:04:51maximum height and then toss in a throw, throw, catch, catch pattern.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Then when you're ready, add in a third ball
0:04:53 > 0:04:56when the second is highest and keep on throwing.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59It may take a little while to perfect, but keep practising
0:04:59 > 0:05:01and you'll soon be doing things like this.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10And that's how you can be epic at juggling.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Whilst Eddie juggles off into the sunset...
0:05:13 > 0:05:15let's see what is still to come.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18This girl makes these things for your phone.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21This guy plays this on that and he does this.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28But first, fancy becoming royalty? Well, watch this.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Being King or Queen is epic.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36There has been loads of them in the past but how do you become one?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Truth is that it's very unlikely that commoners like us
0:05:41 > 0:05:42ever will become the Head of State.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46But let's say there's a mix-up at Buckingham Palace
0:05:46 > 0:05:47and you were crowned.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55Well, fact fan, Tee Cee, is here to show us how to live like a royal.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56First things first.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58If you become King or Queen, you'll need to pick a name.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59But I've got a name.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Not all kings and queens will use their real names.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06For example, Queen Victoria's real name was Alexandrina.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Some names are even considered to be bad luck.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11There's only ever been two kings called Charles.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- The first one had his head chopped off.- Hold still, will you?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- And the second one reined during the plague.- Ow!
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Let's not go with Charles, then.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Once you've chosen your name, now it's time to check
0:06:26 > 0:06:28out your new home or should I say homes.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32As a king or queen, you get to choose from any of the Royal
0:06:32 > 0:06:33residences to stay in.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36There's loads you can pick from, including
0:06:36 > 0:06:38the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, Windsor Castle
0:06:38 > 0:06:43in Windsor and Buckingham Palace in London with its 52 bedrooms
0:06:43 > 0:06:44and 78 bathrooms.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47That's going to cost a fortune in loo roll.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50As a king or queen, you get to have two birthdays.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Yes! Double the cake.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Not only that, you have a royal butler who does pretty much
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- everything for you.- Wahoo! No chores.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03It's not all fun and games, though.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- As a king or queen, you have to work too.- What?
0:07:06 > 0:07:10The monarch takes part in over 300 different appointments each year.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13You'll have to meet and greet foreign ambassadors,
0:07:13 > 0:07:17cut ribbons to open buildings and attend state dinners.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20My lords, ladies and gentle...
0:07:20 > 0:07:24You even have to send a message to everybody who turns 100 years old.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27So far, the Queen has sent over 175,000 during her reign.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33You'd also better brush up on your knowledge of the law
0:07:33 > 0:07:36because the monarch has to sign off every new law passed in the country.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Right, new law. No new laws allowed.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Speaking of laws, as King or Queen, you can't be charged for a crime,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48so it means you can do whatever you want. But I wouldn't recommend it.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Should you commit a really bad crime, Parliament can come
0:07:51 > 0:07:54together and have you removed and then you can be charged.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Oi, you're nicked.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02And that's how you make it as a royal. Butler!
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Thanks, Tee.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07So, you're now a royal. Fancy that, hey?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Next, want to learn the coolest instrument in the world?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12No, not the tuba, I'm talking about the bass
0:08:12 > 0:08:14and this guy will show you how.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Hi, I'm Renell and I'm going to show you how to play a cool
0:08:19 > 0:08:20bassline like this.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25A bassline is a continuous groove that keeps the song moving.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I'm going to show you how to do a bassline made
0:08:27 > 0:08:29up of these four notes.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Show me, Renell.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Cool. How do we play it?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41These are the frets that go up the neck of the guitar.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44The first note is on the third fret of the third string
0:08:44 > 0:08:45and sounds like this.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47There's your C.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50The second note is on the second fret of the second string
0:08:50 > 0:08:52and sounds like this.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Your E.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56The third note is on the fifth fret of the second string
0:08:56 > 0:08:57and sounds like this.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59A G.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03And, finally, the fourth note is on the third fret of the first string.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06And an A sharp. My favourite.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Keep repeating these notes and you've got yourself a bassline.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Smooth.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17You can create different basslines by changing the rhythm.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Hey. Groovy.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24After lots of practice, you can
0:09:24 > 0:09:27experiment with all kinds of things like this.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Very cool.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39Thanks, Renell. From cool basslines to rocking speakers.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44If you want your phone to be louder, then this girl has the answer.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Hi, I'm Jamie-Jo. What do you do when you're out with your mates
0:09:46 > 0:09:49and you want to listen to music but you have no speakers?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- Well, don't worry. You can make cool DIY speakers yourself.- Finally.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54How do you do it, Jamie-Jo?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57You're going to need a toilet roll tube, two foam cups,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59two different colours of paint, a paintbrush,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02a marker pen, scissors and glue.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Firstly, you're going to paint your foam cups and toilet roll.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I'm going to use my two favourite colours, purple and yellow.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11I'll go with black and black.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Start by painting the outside first.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Once the purple paint is dry, you can paint the inside yellow.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Once all the paint is dry, you're going to take your mobile phone
0:10:30 > 0:10:33and outline where it's going to sit on the toilet roll
0:10:33 > 0:10:34with your marker pen.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37And then you take your scissors and carefully cut a slot
0:10:37 > 0:10:39where the outline is.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Next, you take your toilet roll
0:10:44 > 0:10:47and line it up with the edge of the cup and trace around it.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Do the same with the other cup.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Now you're going to poke a hole in the middle and cut the circle out.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Oh, careful! Obviously try your best to keep to the lines.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Now it's time for the fun part - the assembly.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Phone speakers assemble.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Slot the toilet roll into the cups with the slot facing up.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Once it's assembled, glue the pieces to secure them.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Mum, I need your glue gun.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Now we're going to slot our phone in and when you play music,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17it should sound like this.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18MUSIC PLAYS
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Rocking.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- And that's how to make DIY speakers. - Thanks, Jamie-Jo.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27OK, time for one last blast of epic-ness and this is a big one.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Do you want to know how to do the most classic aerial stunt ever?
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Then check this out.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36What could possibly be more epic than getting in a plane
0:11:36 > 0:11:39and doing some seriously cool stunts?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Er, nothing, of course.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Welcome to the epic world of stunt flying
0:11:43 > 0:11:45and we've got a top pilot to show you how it's done.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52- Hi, I'm Mark and I'm going to show you how to fly a loop.- Yes!
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Get me a plane, I'm off up.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58First things first, you've actually got to learn to fly.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Seems easy enough.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01So you're going to need about a quarter million pounds'
0:12:01 > 0:12:04worth of aeroplane and about 1,000 hours of flight time.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09OK, maybe not that easy. What's next?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11First we need to get to grips with the controls.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14We raise the nose of the aeroplane by squeezing it back
0:12:14 > 0:12:17and we lower the nose of the aeroplane by squeezing it forward.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21To roll the aeroplane, we move the stick to the left or the right.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24OK, up, down, left and right. Got it.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26To control the speed of the aeroplane, push the throttle
0:12:26 > 0:12:31- forward to go faster and we pull it back to go slower.- He was right.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33This flying lark is easy.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34OK, let's go and fly a loop.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Bring it on.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47So once we're airborne and up to a safe height, we need to get
0:12:47 > 0:12:52enough speed to start the manoeuvre and that's about 180kn.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55That's pilot speak for around 210mph.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01OK, we're at speed. What do we do now, Mark?
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Squeeze back on the stick to pitch the nose up into the loop...
0:13:07 > 0:13:10..looking back over our heads to make sure the wings are level with
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- the upside-down horizon.- Epic!
0:13:15 > 0:13:19The aeroplane now accelerates downwards.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22It's time to level out, so we squeeze back on the stick
0:13:22 > 0:13:23and finish the loop.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27And breathe out.
0:13:27 > 0:13:33So, to loop the loop, get to 210mph, pull-back on the stick,
0:13:33 > 0:13:35when you're upside down, make sure you're level
0:13:35 > 0:13:38and bring the plane down to earth and pull back again to level out.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45And that's how to be epic at flying a loop.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Cheers, Mark, you loopy legend.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Right, that brings us to the
0:13:50 > 0:13:53end of 15 minutes of total random epic-ness.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55You should now be able to do this,
0:13:55 > 0:14:01that and that, this and this
0:14:01 > 0:14:02and even that.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Now go forth and be epic at everything.
