0:00:02 > 0:00:03Prepare to be blown away.

0:00:03 > 0:00:05Not only have we got the best magic,

0:00:05 > 0:00:07we've got amazing stunts and other baffling clips.

0:00:07 > 0:00:10Well, who would put themselves through this?

0:00:10 > 0:00:11The bottle off my head.

0:00:11 > 0:00:13Oh!

0:00:13 > 0:00:14Welcome to Now You See It.

0:00:27 > 0:00:28Magic time.

0:00:28 > 0:00:32That's how the builder did my extension.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Magic marker.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36And that's how to make some quick money in Leicester Square

0:00:36 > 0:00:37doing portraits.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Hey!

0:00:43 > 0:00:46I think this is the low-budget Latvian remake of Up.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Danny Cole is flouting the laws of physics.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56Now, please don't try that, or you will be arrested by Stephen Hawking.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04You know, I'm not sure those balloons will get him to Peru.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12Either way, I think he's got further than Britain's space programme.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19Time now to look at a genius in action

0:01:19 > 0:01:21as we see the magic of Justin Willman.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Now, if that's a Banksy, it's worth a million quid.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29Don't smudge it, you fool!

0:01:39 > 0:01:41This act is off the wall.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43It's literally off the wall.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Now the balloon has gone, it looks like he's got

0:02:03 > 0:02:06a really long loose thread sticking out of his T-shirt.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11Goodness me, how did he tie that knot so quickly?

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Tying a balloon is like wrestling a slippery tympole.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Art coming to life.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37Just don't hand him a comic with the Incredible Hulk in it. Carnage!

0:02:46 > 0:02:48But now a word of warning to you all.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Never trust your phone to a magician.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Even if, or perhaps especially if,

0:02:53 > 0:02:56that magician is the brilliant Andrew Maine.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01- Go on, take out your phone.- I'll give a complete stranger my phone.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03It's all right. Don't worry.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06It's going to be the safest it's ever been.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Swipe. Isn't it cool?

0:03:09 > 0:03:13- It's like so secure...- Amazing already. Cantaloupes for 99 cents?!

0:03:14 > 0:03:18And you know what? Just for extra protection, I'll use one of these.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22- OK. Protection from what? - From everything.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26OK. What are you going to do to my phone?

0:03:27 > 0:03:29I'm regretting this decision.

0:03:29 > 0:03:33You look really, really insecure right now.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35I just don't know what you're going to do to my phone.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38- I'm a little nervous. - We are protecting your phone.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45- Where's my phone?!- You know what's better than just plastic and paper?

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Glass.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52What?! No way! No...

0:03:52 > 0:03:54No way! How did you...?

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Can I get some help on...

0:03:58 > 0:03:59whatever aisle this is?

0:03:59 > 0:04:03She's not suspicious about the giant pyramid of dill pickles,

0:04:03 > 0:04:06you know like you don't get in supermarkets?

0:04:06 > 0:04:10- They weren't going to sell all those dill pickles anyway.- Oh, no!

0:04:11 > 0:04:12PHONE RINGS

0:04:12 > 0:04:17- Hello?- 'I told you that would be safe!'- Where are you?!

0:04:17 > 0:04:20It's like the weirdest opening to a romantic movie ever.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Are you hungry? This one's not touching the floor.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24How about I feed you?

0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Oh!- I like the way you just dove right into that.- So good.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32Well, these chaps are smart with their money.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Yes, coin bouncing.

0:04:34 > 0:04:38A skill that's as difficult to master as it is utterly useless.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Unless you find it a real effort to get up to use your piggy bank.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47Many boys get into magic to impress beautiful girls.

0:04:47 > 0:04:48What card are you thinking about?

0:04:52 > 0:04:55But typically, once he's actually spoken to one,

0:04:55 > 0:04:58this guy has to run and hide in a dark hole.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08I hope he hasn't annoyed any of his co-conspirators

0:05:08 > 0:05:09who are shutting him in there.

0:05:16 > 0:05:21This is a trick, obvs, that works better when the tide is going out.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25So, your friend has a boomerang which he plans to use

0:05:25 > 0:05:27- to knock a bottle off your head. - A bottle on my head.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29What could possibly go wrong?

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Oh, and please don't throw boomerangs at your friends' heads.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Get the bottle off my head. Ow.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Well, in a roundabout way he was right.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43Right in the back of the head!

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Let's look at that again.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Thankfully further away. Listen out for the noise.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51SMACK! Ow!

0:05:51 > 0:05:53It's all right, they're neighbours.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55They're always going to be good friends.

0:05:56 > 0:05:57Oh-ho!

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Well, we've said it before, but it can't be emphasised enough,

0:06:04 > 0:06:06never trust your phone to a magician.

0:06:06 > 0:06:07Seriously.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Even in Germany, it seems people freely hand over their mobile phones

0:06:17 > 0:06:18to total strangers

0:06:39 > 0:06:42Could be worse, could be in a jar of dill pickles.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54Well, bending it has made the reception very poor,

0:06:54 > 0:06:55not least from the owner.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Yeah, I think he wants you to wait.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Of course, in the next couple of days,

0:07:32 > 0:07:33that phone will be out of date.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Technology changes so quickly now.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43Let's wrap the show with our Big Finish,

0:07:43 > 0:07:44and we travel all the way to Vegas,

0:07:44 > 0:07:46often known as the Vegas of America.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49Steve Wyrick is going to do an incredible illusion

0:07:49 > 0:07:52with a car, and it's really not one you should try yourself.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Steve is a full-time magician.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Plus, crucially, he has a driving licence.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02It's a real race against time as Steve has to escape

0:08:02 > 0:08:04from being in the route of a speeding Ford Mustang,

0:08:04 > 0:08:06driven by a world champion driver.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Oh, and he's manacled to the spot.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11That's not easy.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Well, it sounds like he's taking a big gamble,

0:08:13 > 0:08:17and if there's one thing they frown on in Las Vegas, it's gambling.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25That's a lot of smoke!

0:08:25 > 0:08:26Is Steve doing a magic trick,

0:08:26 > 0:08:29or getting ready to audition for Simon Cowell?

0:08:32 > 0:08:36The way he's hammering that clutch, my guess is that it's a hire car.

0:08:38 > 0:08:39Oh, crikey, where's he gone?

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Er, less of the doughnuts.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46You've just obliterated a world-class magician.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Shouldn't somebody alert the emergency services,

0:08:50 > 0:08:54or at least alert Tom Jones to a vacancy at Caesar's Palace?

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Thank heavens! Steve is now the driver.

0:09:04 > 0:09:05Sadly after his test,

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Steve discovered he failed on three majors and six minors.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12A shame, as his parallel parking was spot on. Oh, well, Steve, next time.

0:09:14 > 0:09:20That's it. Join us again for more magic, mystery, and pranks...

0:09:24 > 0:09:26..on Now You See It.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Right in the back of the head!
