0:00:02 > 0:00:04Magic has the power to take you anywhere.

0:00:04 > 0:00:05From the beach...

0:00:07 > 0:00:09..to the freezer aisle.

0:00:09 > 0:00:13- You take card, right? - Welcome to Now You See It.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Ah, basketball. Or, as I like to call it,

0:00:28 > 0:00:30netball for people with too much energy.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33This is Andrew Michael Golden, misspending his youth.

0:00:33 > 0:00:37The only thing spinning faster than that anti-gravity ball

0:00:37 > 0:00:38is Sir Isaac Newton in his grave.

0:00:43 > 0:00:47I wonder how many windows he broke before he got that one right?

0:00:51 > 0:00:56This guy's not practised as much, although that person he hit

0:00:56 > 0:00:57was called ANNETTE.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09They spent the whole summer practising

0:01:09 > 0:01:11and failed all their exams.

0:01:11 > 0:01:12But, boy, was it worth it.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16Joking, gang. Work hard at school.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Ever wondered what your dad does when he's in the garage?

0:01:21 > 0:01:22Well, it's probably not this.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25This is what X-Men would've looked like if it was filmed

0:01:25 > 0:01:27in an old farmhouse with no budget.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30It's the tireless Franz Harary

0:01:30 > 0:01:34showing us how those really big online deliveries are made.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37And just like those online companies, Franz can make your

0:01:37 > 0:01:40packages completely disappear with absolutely no explanation.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43The key to this trick is to always keep your eye on the box.

0:01:45 > 0:01:46I did say!

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Meanwhile, Fergus, from Help! My Supply Teacher Is Magic,

0:01:50 > 0:01:52is about to do a trick involving a different

0:01:52 > 0:01:54sort of cube - a Rubik's Cube.

0:01:54 > 0:01:55He's going to turn back time to 1983,

0:01:55 > 0:01:57when people thought they were fun.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01You can't give me any tips? I'm really struggling.

0:02:01 > 0:02:02Every time I mix it up more,

0:02:02 > 0:02:04it just gets, well, obviously more and more mixed.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07I did see a guy actually, now that I think about it, once,

0:02:07 > 0:02:08and he did it really quick.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11He, literally, he just took the cube, shook it

0:02:11 > 0:02:14and then the whole thing was done.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16But, um, I can't...

0:02:21 > 0:02:22Yeah, how did he do that?

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Who would've guessed that these two flamboyantly dressed individuals

0:02:28 > 0:02:30were pranksters? I know! And yet,

0:02:30 > 0:02:34passers-by are completely fooled into having a go at limbo dancing,

0:02:34 > 0:02:36blindfolded.

0:02:36 > 0:02:37Limbo!

0:02:38 > 0:02:42So they can't see that our two friends have in fact run away.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45Limbo time!

0:02:45 > 0:02:48They've literally been left in limbo!

0:03:09 > 0:03:13She's still going. How wide did she think the stick was?

0:03:16 > 0:03:18How many times do I have to say it?

0:03:22 > 0:03:23OK. Right, watch.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28This magician loves nothing more than to make someone think

0:03:28 > 0:03:30he's ruined their phone by accident.

0:03:30 > 0:03:36Ah, my thumb! I've got a cramp in my thumb! Oh, no!

0:03:36 > 0:03:38And after a perfectly executed wind-up,

0:03:38 > 0:03:42it's important to distract your victim so they don't get too upset.

0:03:42 > 0:03:43Oh!

0:03:45 > 0:03:46That should do it.

0:03:50 > 0:03:51Here's another one.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Taking advantage of good-natured members of the public

0:03:53 > 0:03:55by asking to borrow their phone,

0:03:55 > 0:03:58only to apparently smash it on the pavement.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Oh!

0:04:00 > 0:04:02The key to pulling this off successfully is to drop

0:04:02 > 0:04:04a dummy handset, then to quickly

0:04:04 > 0:04:07show them it was just sleight of hand and their phone's fine.

0:04:15 > 0:04:16But this is a smart magician.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Thank you so... Oh!

0:04:19 > 0:04:22He also makes sure everyone he picks on is quite a lot smaller than him.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Oh, right! Oh, right, right!

0:04:32 > 0:04:34No-one ever said levitation is easy.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37It's a delicate blend of skill, balance, grace and...

0:04:37 > 0:04:42And the ability to hold two big shoes on the end of two big sticks.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Continuing our theme of rubbish tricks...

0:04:45 > 0:04:47here's a magician who's BIN there, done that.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Argh!

0:04:53 > 0:04:56- Argh!- He's always upsetting the neighbours,

0:04:56 > 0:04:59especially when he puts himself out on a Tuesday

0:04:59 > 0:05:01instead of on a Thursday. Oh, it drives them mad.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Time now for a magical ice bucket challenge.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Luckily, this man's not wearing his good clothes.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Brilliant!

0:05:14 > 0:05:18And now, the first in what's going to be a series of one.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20It's...

0:05:22 > 0:05:27Here with the first and last in the series, Dynamo and his nan Nelly.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Dynamo's taking Nanny Nelly to do her weekly shop.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36- Chopped tomatoes. - Chopped tomatoes, right.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Steak and kidney. - Steak and kidney, all right.

0:05:39 > 0:05:40Wait a minute.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42I want that sort up there.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44- That one there, all right.- Yeah.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Oh.- There we go.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Two tins.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Irish stew? - No, I don't want Irish stew.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55No. Steak and kidney.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Oh, that's it, yeah.

0:05:58 > 0:05:59That's very good.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Nelly's seen it all before, hasn't she?

0:06:03 > 0:06:05But check out Dynamo when they get to the checkout.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Calm your horses!

0:06:10 > 0:06:13You won't have enough with that, I'll tell you now, mate.

0:06:13 > 0:06:14How much?

0:06:14 > 0:06:17- 21.20.- 21.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20I'll tell you what, you take card, right?

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Come on, then.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25I know what you're thinking.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Are there any tricks you can do with tomato ketchup?

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Suffice to say, this part of the show is called...

0:06:31 > 0:06:33So the answer's yes, by the way.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37Here's James Went doing what we now know magicians love to do,

0:06:37 > 0:06:39interrupting people who are in the middle of a meal.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42Sorry. In your bucket, you wouldn't happen to have some tomato sauce,

0:06:42 > 0:06:44would you?

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Oh, I could try this.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Just cover it. Don't want to get your clothes dirty.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53We'll use one more, just to be safe, just to be safe.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01You see the bottle? Yeah?

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Well, you can certainly say that that ketchup's got no additives or

0:07:06 > 0:07:09preservatives, or any ketchup-related qualities at all.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11He's basically produced some salad.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14It's not the first time we've brought this up,

0:07:14 > 0:07:16but three is the magic number.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19And to eat your magic food, may the FORK be with you.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Here's a fork floating in mid-air.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Very entertaining. But he was asked to put it in the dishwasher

0:07:24 > 0:07:26about an hour ago.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Here's the perfect fork for eating spaghetti.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33And here's a fork just acting weird.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Hurrah, it's Cyril Takayama,

0:07:41 > 0:07:44keen to pitch some of his new inventions on Dragons' Den.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50A jacket that turns into a towel.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Deborah Meaden will love that.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55A suitcase that turns into a sun lounger.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Too late, Duncan Bannatyne,

0:07:57 > 0:08:00I'm offering £7.50 for 100% of the business.

0:08:00 > 0:08:05And most surprising of all, Cyril really blends in at Bognor.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Is it that time already?

0:08:07 > 0:08:09We've arrived at The Big Finish.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13Judging by its colour, this is very definitely a cooked prawn.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15Either that, or it's just really embarrassed

0:08:15 > 0:08:16about appearing on the telly.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20But look! It's gone from cooked back to being raw

0:08:20 > 0:08:22and the trick's not finished yet!

0:08:24 > 0:08:26He's rolling out the big guns.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Well, the kitchen paper.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31- SPEAKS JAPANESE - ..Kitchen paper...

0:08:31 > 0:08:35Which is also kitchen paper in Japanese, apparently.

0:08:46 > 0:08:47SCREAMING

0:08:47 > 0:08:50The prawn that was dead has come back to life.

0:08:50 > 0:08:51It's PRAWN again!

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Huge excitement from those young onlookers, and that's over a prawn.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Imagine how hysterical they'd be if he magicked up some, I don't know,

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Justin Bieber tickets.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05I can't wait to see what he's going to do with the tiramisu!

0:09:05 > 0:09:07I wonder what Dynamo's nan thought of that?

0:09:10 > 0:09:11That's very good, love. Yeah.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15That's it. Join us next time on Now You See It.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20We hope you enjoyed our forks...

0:09:20 > 0:09:23forks, and, uh...

0:09:23 > 0:09:24dorks!

0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Just be careful taking out the bins. - Argh!
