0:00:02 > 0:00:03Prepare for a journey into the world of magic,
0:00:03 > 0:00:05where eating can be done without any hands...
0:00:05 > 0:00:07and quite often without any table manners.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10So pull up a chair.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Welcome...
0:00:11 > 0:00:13to Now You See It.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Agggh!
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Isn't it great when you've got your favourite cinnamon skinny chai
0:00:29 > 0:00:31frappe latte whatsit,
0:00:31 > 0:00:34and then you see that one of the comfy chairs is free for once?
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- Roar!- Agggh!
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Yeah, just as I thought.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42- Too good to be true.- Roar!
0:00:42 > 0:00:44And what better location for this sort of prank
0:00:44 > 0:00:46than a room where every flat surface
0:00:46 > 0:00:49holds a 16oz cup of scalding liquid?
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- Who sat here?!- Agggh!
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Who's sitting in the chair?!
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Wouldn't it be great if Prince Philip did that with the throne
0:00:56 > 0:00:59during the Queen's Speech?!
0:01:00 > 0:01:02That boy's family know, don't they?
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Agggh!!
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Imagine if these people needed therapy,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and the first thing they were asked to do was lie on a couch.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Street magic.- Oh, I love this trick!
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Aggh!
0:01:18 > 0:01:20You pour liquid into the cup and then magically...
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- the liquid vanishes.- Agggh!
0:01:22 > 0:01:24It's a winner every time.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Huh!
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Ah, OK, so now the trick is to get out of there alive.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Here's Katherine from Help! My Supply Teacher Is Magic.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37She's clearly far too busy reading her magazine
0:01:37 > 0:01:39to bother with the mundane task of using her hands
0:01:39 > 0:01:42to pick up her grapes.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47I suppose it's just as well she can do this...
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Perfect for those times when you find yourself
0:01:52 > 0:01:55in the hospital with both your arms in plaster.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Like, for example, when you've just thrown some fizzy drink
0:01:58 > 0:02:00over a very large man. You know what that boy's thinking, don't you?
0:02:00 > 0:02:04He's thinking, "I wonder what it would be like if a camel did that."
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Well, this is a magic show, we can make things happen.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Here's what it would look like.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Basically, it would look really weird.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Aw, he's happy now!
0:02:25 > 0:02:27If floating grapes blow your mind,
0:02:27 > 0:02:31wait till you see the trick this time around in How Do They Do That?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38I can't wait to see what's going to happen to this huge car transporter
0:02:38 > 0:02:41with five, repeat, five cars on it.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43They're just driving it to the front of the warehouse.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Oh, wouldn't you just know it?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47There's a great big chequered flag in the way
0:02:47 > 0:02:48just at the crucial moment.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Rule one of large-scale outrageous magic tricks -
0:02:50 > 0:02:54never trust the sidekick in a hi-vis jacket.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Yeah, yeah, keep looking forward.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Keep looking at me, yeah. Don't look behind you!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02And guess what, where there were five cars, now there are only four.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Let's check the maths.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Five cars went in and only four came out.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11They've lost one!
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Careless, probably... carless, definitely.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Oh, well. They've still got nearly all of them.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Perhaps the boss won't notice.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20You're the expert, how did it happen?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Oh, it's... Aliens, mate, I don't know!
0:03:23 > 0:03:24- Aliens?- Haven't a clue.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Yeah, that's right, just have a little look up there,
0:03:26 > 0:03:28see if it might have slipped down the side of...
0:03:28 > 0:03:30No. If you want to know how that trick was done,
0:03:30 > 0:03:34and I very much think we do, all will be revealed later in the show.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Want to see some magic involving food?
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Let's do that and let's call it Magical Food.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Here's Holly with a trick requiring some magic chocolates.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49So, we're going to get started.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Here's the chocolate.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55So I'm going to quickly cover the camera and it'll be gone.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Oh, can I just say? This screen's giving me hay fever!
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Achoo!
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I'm totally...
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I'm totally not eating it.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09I'm totally not eating it.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12MOUTH FULL: No, she's totally not eating it!
0:04:12 > 0:04:14OK, let's just go onto another trick.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Now, a word of advice.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22If you invite magician Yif round for a meal, expect the unexpected.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I've heard of people who play with their food,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26but Yif goes that one step further.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28You've heard of Super Noodles...
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Well, these are super-duper noodles.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36And of course the big advantage is, no need for chopsticks.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42That's what I call Chinese food to go.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Mmm.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Want to see an illusion involving popcorn?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Here's Pete Firman.- I want to show you something with this popcorn.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Watch.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Eh? First time!
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Give it a try. Go on, have a throw.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- The pressure's on! - That was in and out!
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Oh! Killer. Try again.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08That's, no...
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Now, a crueller person would say, "How could you miss?"
0:05:11 > 0:05:13But I'm not going to... I'm not going to say that!
0:05:13 > 0:05:17I've actually got a sure-fire way of hitting this every single time.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19See, you're trying to get the popcorn to your mouth.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21That's wrong. Hold that for me.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23What you need to do is this...
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Oh, my God!
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Aghhh!
0:05:29 > 0:05:30That's disgusting!
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Eating with your mouth open like that.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Come on, Pete, pull yourself together!
0:05:40 > 0:05:43But not all tricks go as smoothly as that,
0:05:43 > 0:05:46as we discover in It Worked In Rehearsal.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Here's a man trying to sweep this woman off her feet.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56To be fair, levitation is one of the more difficult tricks to pull off.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59As you can see.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I love the way that having dropped the poor woman on the floor,
0:06:04 > 0:06:06he still expects her to wheel the trolley away.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14Here's Cyril Takayama in glamorous Rio de Janeiro...
0:06:14 > 0:06:16and he's dropped his phone down the toilet.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Although if he's on my network, I'd say it's the best place for it.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Don't try this trick at home, you'll go round the bend.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31He's gone so far down that toilet
0:06:31 > 0:06:33he's found the Brazilian World Cup squad.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Yeah, little football joke that I don't quite understand.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Now she's going to have to go behind the tree.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Apparently, there's somebody else who can do that trick just
0:06:47 > 0:06:50slightly better, which makes Cyril Rio's...
0:06:50 > 0:06:53number two magician.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54While we're on a roll...
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Oh, remember the car transporter that was one car light of a load?
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- How did it happen? - Aliens, mate, I don't know.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Aliens?- No, it wasn't aliens.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Here's the answer...
0:07:14 > 0:07:17All they did was find a helium balloon life-sized replica
0:07:17 > 0:07:20of a car that could be operated by remote control.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Simple.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Imagine the traffic warden's face if you could just do this when he tried
0:07:26 > 0:07:28to give you a ticket!
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Also, brilliant for spotting parking spaces
0:07:32 > 0:07:34on a busy Saturday in the city centre.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Look! There's one!
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Here's Newcastle's top Tom Cruise lookalike,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53revealing whether he's a glass half full or half empty kind of guy.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Magic!
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Tragic!
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Brace yourselves, it's time for our Big Finish.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Peter Moretti is a trained magician,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07so you know what I'm going to say here.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Even if you do have access to a double crossbow,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12please don't try this trick.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17But where's his glamorous assistant?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Ah-ha! There she is!
0:08:20 > 0:08:22She's been cooking breakfast.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Something about this reminds me of Robin Hood.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I think it's because Peter looks like Maid Marian.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Those trousers certainly mean business -
0:08:32 > 0:08:34the high-waisted leather business.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Now, is that wise? A naked flame near all that hairspray?
0:08:42 > 0:08:46This couple share everything including, it appears, their hair.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Cripes! I wouldn't want to be at one of his birthday parties
0:08:56 > 0:08:59when the cake arrives.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01And now Peter's lining up six crossbows.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Each will fire an arrow that will trigger the next arrow
0:09:04 > 0:09:06until a final arrow hopefully doesn't bring his career
0:09:06 > 0:09:08to an abrupt end.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Oh, nice touch!
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Now he's placing the apple on top of his hair,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19so just six inches above his head...
0:09:22 > 0:09:25DRUMROLL
0:09:25 > 0:09:27What worries me is that he can't see anything
0:09:27 > 0:09:29through that fringe, can he?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31APPLAUSE
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Now, that was a close shave, which he could do with, to be honest.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Bravo, Peter Moretti!
0:09:43 > 0:09:44And that's it.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Like a remote-controlled helium car, I'm out of here.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Join us next time for more magical highs, lows and lows
0:09:52 > 0:09:54on Now You See It.
