The Magical Dancing Duck Now You See It

Over the next ten minutes, you simply won't believe your eyes!

We've got ducks showing off their dance tricks

and people catching golf balls for kicks.

How impressive was that?

Welcome to Now You See It.

Bro, flick this card and see what happens.

Teleportation - it's so convenient.

Hopefully, next year will bring us this invention.

Sneezes travel at 100mph,

but if you miss catching it, this hanky chases after it.

Actually, it's just hocus-pocus.

Or should that be hanky-panky?

To the greenery of Gleneagles now, where magician DMC is about

to do the greatest trick in all of history...

Make golf interesting.

I'm almost certain they're making the small, white balls disappear

by hitting them really hard with long sticks.

What's magic about that?

Favourite card, if you don't mind?

I would say ace of hearts.

Stand there. If you stand for a second and we'll go...

..like this.

This will sound a little odd. Is it all right to take your shoe off?

Yeah, yeah.

You'll see one card. Take it out.

And you said ace of hearts?

Ah, that's some funny magic.

Onto the next hole, and the strangest bunker I've ever seen.

Aren't they usually filled with sand?

Of course! This is really tenpin skate-park bowling.

All the skill of bowling and the adrenaline of...bowling.

But in a skate park.

Astonishing stuff.

And after six months meticulous planning and intensive practice,

one YouTube clip filmed.

Well, how about a game of Guess Who?

Do they wear glasses?

Do they have brown hair?

In truth, we're just watching some very modest mermaids.

St Tropez is not just the name of a fake tan, it's also a place

where you can get a real tan - the right colour and everything.

Joey Essex, take note.

And, in St Tropez,

a watch-strap tan-mark is as cool as tying a knotted hanky on your head.

So, magician Benno Six wants to get rid of it.

Vous vous concentrez toute votre energie sur votre main.

After seven hours, Benno has finally found a woman

who is happy to touch his arm.

But, behold, the tan mark is now under his sleeve and

he can carry on doing magic with his all-over-tanned confidence.

Here's more beach-side fun, this time with a skateboard.

He has to skateboard here.

Some dudes are using the skateboard park to play tenpin bowling.

Mmm.

Well, it's certainly one way round all the deckchairs being taken.

If you've ever wondered what a performance might look like

if the magician realised he'd left his hair tongs on in the

dressing room, stick around.

The amazing Hans Klok is on a clock,

attempting as many illusions as possible in just five minutes.

Cor, one illusion down!

At this rate, he'll be home in time to watch The Dumping Ground.

But locking yourself in away in a Perspex box is probably not

the answer when you've 14 more to do.

How's he going to manage it?

A-ha! He was the woman all along!

We'll see how Hans is getting on later in the show.

Over to Spain now, where magician Jorge Blass is hoping to

dazzle us by moving a small, yellow car with the power of his mind.

I should point out that is an actual-sized Kia Picanto.

Salta!

No.

Now, I'm no magician, but maybe he should be doing this on a slope?

Coche amarillo, mas fuerte.

Coche amarillo...

Salta!

Wow!

They really hate it in Spain if you exceed your time in the

pay-and-display car park.

It's time for some Animal Magic.

Now, most of this is Juan, it's not all me.

So, give Juan a big round of applause when it happens.

Here we go!

Here's ace magician Justin Flom and his feathered assistant,

Juan the duck, who impresses us with his webbed-footed skills

on the dance floor.

OK, here we go. Show 'em your stuff!

MUSIC: Yeah! by Usher ft Lil Jon and Ludacris

The amazing thing is Juan hasn't even rehearsed.

He prefers to wing it.

Quite frankly,

I've not seen a duck dance like that since Michael Quackson.

He'd better look out for stray golf balls.

We wouldn't want a hole-in-Juan.

Of course, all great tricks take practice,

as you'll see in our Beginner's Guide To Magic.

Yes, practice, practice, practice.

Preferably in the privacy of your own home.

Or just find another hobby.

Oh, DMC's back on the posh golf course.

Is it all right just to watch you just take a few shots?

His real name's Drummond Money-Coutts,

so I guess we're unlikely to find him doing tricks with darts players

at the Leatherhead Working Men's Club any time soon.

-Higher?

-Please.

Now, don't even think about trying this trick at home.

I'm to catch a ball.

You're going to catch a ball?

Hope it's not between his teeth!

Phew!

Just with his hand.

How impressive was that?!

Back to Hans Klok, still trying to do as many tricks

as he can in just five minutes.

He would have had ten minutes, but Justin Bieber was on before him.

You know how he likes an encore.

Look at all that fabric!

He must've taken down his curtains at home.

He's in such a rush, he's not even had time to do up his shirt front.

Ooh, that looks painful!

Can she get herself fixed on the NHS?

Ah, no, apparently not.

He's only got two minutes left.

How far will he get?

We'll come back later!

We all know that three is the magic number and to prove it,

here are three amazing ways to make cardboard interesting.

Hey, guys, this is a magic trick with a cardboard box.

By "cardboard", I'm not referring to his delivery of that line.

This young fellow is about to do something quite extraordinary

on his parents' landing.

Watch and learn, everybody.

Trust me, the wait is worth it.

He could sing a song or something.

Look!

Has he gone?

Oh, yes!

Invisibility.

Secondly, the joke's on him.

That tree is another man in cardboard boxes.

Hi.

Thirdly, in these tough times, the latest Doctor Who monster.

But now, let's wrap the show with our Big Finish.

Let go back to Hans.

His time's nearly up.

Hans, don't let your public down.

Don't let yourself down.

For goodness' sake, don't let your hair down.

His assistant here would like

to discuss her pay and working conditions.

"Not today, love."

Don't you wish all illusionists worked this fast?

You could go to a magic show and still have time for

a burger and the cinema.

Can he squeeze in one final trick?

No!

Sadly, that girl has to stay locked in that cabinet

until this time next year.

Them's the rules.

Impressive, but what's even more amazing is Hans has since set

a knew record with a staggering 15 tricks in five minutes.

That's it.

Join us soon for more illusions...

..confusions...

..and delusions on Now You See It.
