0:00:02 > 0:00:05Today, we've got it all. Although some tricks are quicker than others.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07- Is this your card?- No. - Is this your card?- No.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10- Is this your card?- No. - They're still there.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Some of the things you're about to see
0:00:12 > 0:00:13will quite simply astound you.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16For example, this magician's hair.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Welcome to Now You See It.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31OK, let's tease some dogs.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Now they see the dog biscuit, now, they don't.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36CONFUSED WHINING
0:00:36 > 0:00:40A biscuit, a biscuit, oh, I thought there was a biscuit. A biscuit?
0:00:40 > 0:00:42I thought there was a biscuit.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Is this guy kidding me?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50You know, I used to be a police sniffer dog
0:00:50 > 0:00:52and now I don't even get a biscuit?!
0:00:52 > 0:00:53DOG YELPS
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Is it on the floor? No. Or on the floor?
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Maybe it's on the floor. No.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03And the trick doesn't just work on dogs, obviously. Rats as well.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Oh, apologies, tall rat.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Sorry, sorry, Chihuahua owners.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Let's put this into perspective though.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Dogs are even amazed by sticks.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16That dog's thinking, "I'm going to wee in his shoes."
0:01:18 > 0:01:20There's excitement on Westminster Bridge in London.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Something's happening that's stopping tourists in the middle
0:01:23 > 0:01:25of the pavement. Although, to be fair,
0:01:25 > 0:01:27that's what they always do anyway.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30No, it's not the price of a bottle of water that's amazing them,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33it's top British magician, Dynamo,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36doing a spot of walking on water across the Thames.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39How to look cool in a cagoule.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Now, remember, he's Dynamo.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43So don't you be trying this, please.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49The walking on water bit, not the canoeing. That's probably fine.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52To be fair, it's quicker than the underground.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Magician's apprentice Luke is doing the impossible.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59He's going to prove you can stick a needle into a balloon, brilliant.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03BALLOON BURSTS
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Eh... Not so brilliant.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Now this from Zach King is more impressive.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10His weight's ballooned since then.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Now, it's time for It Worked In Rehearsal,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16our regular look at the very best of the worst of magic.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Here's TV's Stephen Mulhern with a trick so obvious
0:02:19 > 0:02:22even the dogs earlier could figure it out.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27But now I can go from bucket number three to bucket number two.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- AUDIENCE LAUGH - I know. How do I do it?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Now we go from bucket number two to bucket number one!
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- And now we're going to go double-time.- A simple trick.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Watch again.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Bucket head, bucket nose, smash.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45At least there's a bucket to catch the nosebleed in.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Can I take your ear off real quick? - Yes.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50And now an early contender for Dad Of The Year contest.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52CHILD SOBS
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Because what children really enjoy is when the parent that they
0:02:54 > 0:02:58love and trust pretends that they have removed a part of their body.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02It's always a winner that one. Come on, son, it's only an ear.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- You've got two.- Here, I'll put it back on, I'll put it back on.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- There, there it is. Does that feel better?- Yeah.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Should he do it again? No.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Is he going to? Yes.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18CHILD SOBS
0:03:18 > 0:03:20PARENTS LAUGH
0:03:20 > 0:03:22That's so messed up!
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Don't worry! I'll put it back, I'll put it back!
0:03:26 > 0:03:29OK. Hold still, hold still. OK.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Your nose is back, let me see you, let me see your nose.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Oh, looks good.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I am going to do a magic trick that's never been done before.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I am going to flip the coin
0:03:48 > 0:03:52and while it's in mid-air I am going to jump
0:03:52 > 0:03:56and catch it and sit on the chair all at the same time.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58OK.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Amazing what would-be magicians get up to at home
0:04:01 > 0:04:03when their broadband's down.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Is there a doctor in the house?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11HE GROANS
0:04:11 > 0:04:13If you like your magic tricks accompanied by the soundtrack
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- to the musical Grease, you're in luck.- So the magic is...
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Here's a trick with some Chinese bamboo sticks.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Apparently, Michael Wo is one of the most popular magicians
0:04:22 > 0:04:23in the whole of his bedroom.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26..the other one will go up like that.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28It doesn't matter which one I pull like this. OK...
0:04:28 > 0:04:30You'd think watching a man lengthen and shorten
0:04:30 > 0:04:33a piece of string over and over again would lose its appeal
0:04:33 > 0:04:35but his rabbit assistant's mesmerised.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38The string is connected there, then I say, look,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41maybe separate them to prove to you there's no connection there.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Now, don't get him on the subject of Grease 2.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44You'll never hear the end of it.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Anyone fancy popping down to the kitchen?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Where, after only three and a half hours, this man
0:04:50 > 0:04:53has managed to successfully get a teabag into a mug.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05His phone accepts cookies which is great.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08And he can make his phone disappear.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14And if he concentrates really hard,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17he can make his head go out of focus.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Also using a mysterious cosmic force.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Watch as the spoon is made less useful.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31So there it is.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35A magician creating what looks like the world's milkiest tea.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37See that "P" on his mug?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Ironically, that's what the cup of tea tasted like.- Cheers.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43We've probably missed the grand finale of the bamboo stick trick.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46OK, I can even do sideways like this.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Oh, no, it's very much still going on.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Now for...
0:05:54 > 0:05:57This time, it's an astonishing display of mind reading.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59This is crazy.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- What's your name?- Jesse.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05This is crazy, Michael, I'm in your head right now
0:06:05 > 0:06:08and I know so many things about you, it's not even funny.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12I'm sensing something in your head right now.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I'm sensing that you have a relative.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Yeah.- For real?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I go by the name of Prime, and I know magic.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26That's one confused young man.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28He's thinking "My name's not Michael, no,
0:06:28 > 0:06:30"and that man wasn't a magician."
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Can I show you a card trick?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36We find another baffled member of the public at the glamorous
0:06:36 > 0:06:39location of a car park in Leamington Spa.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40For this trick to work,
0:06:40 > 0:06:43the magician's assistant has to be all but invisible.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Oh, there he is on the left!
0:06:51 > 0:06:53The assistant plays his part perfectly so it's
0:06:53 > 0:06:56a pity this silver car is going to stop him in his tracks.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Wow!
0:06:58 > 0:07:00It went right through him.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Now, that is impressive although it's the only part of the trick
0:07:02 > 0:07:05they had nothing to do with.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08The bottle of water disappears with only the slightest sound
0:07:08 > 0:07:09of scuffling on tarmac.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13CLATTERING
0:07:13 > 0:07:16And the occasional deafening noise as the assistant trips
0:07:16 > 0:07:18over an empty can.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Meanwhile, the man's phone is now going to magically disappear.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31You had one job.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36# This is the time of magic... #
0:07:36 > 0:07:38No, it isn't.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41The assistant went on to get a job as QPR's new goalkeeper.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Time now for our big finish all the way from 1983.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48This is Canadian magician Doug Henning
0:07:48 > 0:07:51accompanied by four energetic dancers.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Really energetic dancers.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00I don't know why but I suddenly want to play Mario Kart.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Just me?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Those dancers trained at the Royal Ballet, now look at them.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11That's her very special rainbow dance.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17And now Doug skilfully positions his motorbike
0:08:17 > 0:08:19in the shopping trolley of doom.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23There's obviously something going on with that motorbike
0:08:23 > 0:08:26that the dancers are desperate to distract us from.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31It's taking quite a long time and they're running out of moves.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Look, oh, Pick The Fruit.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Spin On The Spot. The Buttock Grab.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Oh, no, not sure about that last one.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Now, is that yellow stepladder part of the act
0:08:43 > 0:08:45or is somebody changing a light bulb?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I can't help feeling somewhere
0:08:53 > 0:08:55there are four horses missing their riders.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Anyway, Doug's hair is now ready to make the leap
0:08:58 > 0:09:00across from the cage to the box.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05And there's Doug...
0:09:05 > 0:09:09inside a box that's slightly too small for his head.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Oh, well done, Doug and well done, the dancers.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19A great trick, though, for me, it could have had more denim, a few
0:09:19 > 0:09:23more rainbows and a tad more dancing but you can't have everything.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Lovely finish there. And again, please don't try this at home.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Neither the trick with the motorbike or that hairstyle.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34That's it.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37For more magical and not so magical moments,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40join me next time for Now You See It.
