0:00:02 > 0:00:04In the world of magic, anything can happen.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Look! Here's a man taking his legs for a walk...
0:00:06 > 0:00:08SHE SCREAMS
0:00:08 > 0:00:11..and a driver so hungry they've disappeared.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Welcome to Now You See It.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Seriously, where'd he go?
0:00:30 > 0:00:34Welcome to the great Chinese bake-off, with this contestant, Yif,
0:00:34 > 0:00:35attempting the technical challenge.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Look what he can do simply by fiddling about,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44for quite a long time, with some uncooked dough.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Just hope he's washed his hands.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Now that's a superpower worth having!
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Never mind Spider-Man and all that clinging-to-buildings nonsense -
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Yif is Croissant Man!
0:00:59 > 0:01:01He may not be able to save the world, but he can always provide it
0:01:01 > 0:01:04with a Continental breakfast.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Although Mary Berry said that the texture was quite dry
0:01:06 > 0:01:08and there wasn't enough lamination.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Oh, yeah, help yourself.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11I was only showing you.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Meals on wheels anyone?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17You don't want to know where it drove out two hours later.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Talking of drive-throughs...
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Supposed to be on a diet
0:01:22 > 0:01:24but don't want anyone to see you buying a burger?
0:01:24 > 0:01:29Internet prankster Rahat has come up with the perfect solution.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34So, this is how the costume works while I'm wearing it,
0:01:34 > 0:01:38and let's see how people react when a car with no driver
0:01:38 > 0:01:41rolls up to their drive-through window.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04"Perhaps if I keep opening and shutting the window,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06"the driver will just suddenly...
0:02:06 > 0:02:08"Er, no, it's not working."
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Can I have two people from the audience, please?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Time to enter Robert's World Of Magic.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19I'm sure I hardly need tell you
0:02:19 > 0:02:21never to climb into a big cloth sack -
0:02:21 > 0:02:24unless you're on stage and a, ahem, professional magician, like Robert.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Please, check the bag.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Check the bag to see if there's any trapdoors.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Yes, make sure Robert can't escape through a trapdoor
0:02:32 > 0:02:34hidden at the bottom of the sack.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Start tying.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Now Robert's demanding to be tied firmly into the sack,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42which, to be fair, is something the two audience members
0:02:42 > 0:02:43seem more than happy to do.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47Right, go and sit down.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Oh, the best thing about Robert's act is that 1970s side table.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54And, actually, that has more chance of being able to get out of a sack.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Of course, if we were to try this,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05we'd just end up pulling on the knots until they were really tight
0:03:05 > 0:03:08and we were stuck in there for hours, whereas Robert...
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Hmm.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15No, there's no way of escape.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18That's why the audience are still having to watch.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22We'll pop back later.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Oh, look! It's Yif again, with something else up his sleeve.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Is it the girl's bill for eating his croissant?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37How is he doing this?
0:03:37 > 0:03:41And, more importantly, why is he doing this?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43And please don't say, "He needs the dough."
0:03:46 > 0:03:48It's sort of the opposite of shoplifting.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55No, you're all right, thanks. I'm not sure where it's been.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Now, whatever you do, just don't show it to that...
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Oh, too late.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03She's particularly excited as she's been on a health drive.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04She hasn't seen carbs for weeks.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Stand by for a trick that's already made seven waiters cry
0:04:09 > 0:04:12in a section we're calling Tablecloth Magic.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Pulling off a tablecloth using a motorbike is a sure-fire way
0:04:16 > 0:04:18to impress the Stig's beautiful daughter.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Perhaps not.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26The master of the art is Matt Ricardo.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28"Want to change tables, sir? No problem."
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Still, no excuse not to iron the tablecloth.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38It's time for our Magic Moment.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41It's called "I Told You Not To Do That" -
0:04:41 > 0:04:43for reasons that will become clear.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46That's the sort of lipstick that really marks a person out
0:04:46 > 0:04:48as cool, calm and unflappable in a crisis.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52It's a simple trick with a smartphone.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54No, it's not how to get a signal in Cornwall.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55That's your hand, OK?
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Now, all I have to do is wave my hand over your hand...
0:04:59 > 0:05:02A wave over the screen and here comes...
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- Oh!- It's pretend, it's pretend, it's pretend.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Are you sure? - It's only in the phone.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08If you let that bug in my phone...
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- See?- But how does it crawl...?
0:05:10 > 0:05:14I'll teach you how to do it. All you have to do is wave your hand.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Another wave, and back it comes.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18So far, so good.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21All you have to do is wave.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25It doesn't...
0:05:25 > 0:05:26It...
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Oh, my God! If it's going to come out...- Try again.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32SHE SCREAMS
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Oh, you didn't have to do that that! I told you not to do that!
0:05:38 > 0:05:40I told you not to do it!
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I told you not to do it!
0:05:42 > 0:05:46A woman for whom the phrase "keep your wig on" was invented.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Meanwhile, here's a young magician attempting the tricky feat
0:05:50 > 0:05:52of filming a trick involving his...feet.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58I'm going to tie up my laces here without using my hands.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00OK, those are hands.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Yeah, got that.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05What I want you to do is just watch my laces.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Incredible - and in just slightly more time than it would have taken
0:06:13 > 0:06:15to do them up normally.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I'll tell you could've used that sort of skill with knots...
0:06:19 > 0:06:20It's Robert!
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Oh, dear.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25If you're a budding magician, then this is for you -
0:06:25 > 0:06:27A Beginner's Guide To Magic.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33How to perform the classic person-sawn-in-half trick.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36It's already a good trick - her feet have come out of the other end
0:06:36 > 0:06:38before she's even got in the box.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46But one thing that can make the illusion less believable
0:06:46 > 0:06:48s doing this.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Please don't do this at home!
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Not the trick - that's a classic.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Just don't mess it up.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01To be fair, that was considered good enough for A-star
0:07:01 > 0:07:03in their Performing Arts GCSE.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08The main thing now is for the person in the other end
0:07:08 > 0:07:10to leave without drawing too much attention to themselves.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Moving on!
0:07:18 > 0:07:22If that sawing-in-half trick does go wrong, you can always do this.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Agh!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Ohh!
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Que paso?
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Que paso, que paso?
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Agh!
0:07:31 > 0:07:32WOMEN SCREAM
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Since doing this trick,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36he's become literally half the man he used to be.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Luckily, this being America, nobody overreacts.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43SHE SCREAMS LOUDLY
0:07:47 > 0:07:49And then my girlfriend's no good,
0:07:49 > 0:07:52because she left me standing and the man has no body.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Agh!
0:07:55 > 0:07:57That's so wrong! You're dead!
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Unfortunately, her day got even worse -
0:08:06 > 0:08:08just down the road she met this guy.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Now, fasten your seatbelt, gang.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14It's time for our Big Finish.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Illusionist Franz Harary is going to drive a truck at a global superstar
0:08:22 > 0:08:24and make him disappear.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Much to everyone's disappointment,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30and despite being offered large sums of money,
0:08:30 > 0:08:31he didn't choose Justin Bieber.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33So this is Japan's Taki.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40But Franz Harary's first illusion
0:08:40 > 0:08:43is to make an actual truck disappear into a car.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44If it doesn't work,
0:08:44 > 0:08:48unfortunately, Japan's leading pop star will be no more.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49So, fingers crossed.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Now that was impressive.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57The car's gone off to give an invisible man a lift
0:08:57 > 0:08:59to the nearest drive-through.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00But here's the truck again,
0:09:00 > 0:09:04and this time it's going to drive straight at the vest-clad singer.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Taki's gone.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Surely that doesn't mean the end of his career?
0:09:17 > 0:09:22What, no more hits such as "My Angel, You Are Angel"?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24That's my third favourite song about angels.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Let's see who's inside.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32You guessed it - even if you can't guess how Franz Harary did it.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34And, just like Taki,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36our time has vanished.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40For more magical and not-so-magical moments,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43join me next time for Now You See It.
