0:00:02 > 0:00:03Prepare for a journey into the world of magic.
0:00:03 > 0:00:05Put your feet up
0:00:05 > 0:00:07and enjoy some of the top-quality entertainment on offer.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08Oh!
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Well, mostly top-quality.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Welcome to Now You See It.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27I'm delighted to introduce to you...
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Woof!
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Prepare to be amazed, astounded and sniffed in the crotch.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37First, he covers a hanky in doggy snot.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45And then, much to everyone's relief, makes it go away.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50But, hang on...there's more.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Do you know what? More dogs should wear capes.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Oh, sorry, concentrate.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01There's the ace of clubs.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06Actually, what's bothering me most is where that person's head is. Hmm.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08He's very good at snuffling the cards.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Oh, now that's clever!
0:01:14 > 0:01:17So, let's get this straight - he can do all that,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19but he can't use a pooper-scooper.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Here's a thrilling bit of animal magic now
0:01:24 > 0:01:26which seems to involve the closing of a drawer.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30But wait...
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Ta-da!
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Strange name for a cat.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37And here's a cat that can predict
0:01:37 > 0:01:39exactly what its owner is going to do.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46As long as the owner keeps doing exactly the same thing.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48No, that's not fair.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51It's actually the cat making the human do that.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Meanwhile, the kitchen is full of kittens.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Oh, the ginger one's pleased with itself.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00It's got the other one to do all the hard work!
0:02:00 > 0:02:04The real trick here is how they managed to open the carton.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I still have trouble with that one.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Now, then, prepare to not see something that was definitely there
0:02:08 > 0:02:10right up to the point that it suddenly wasn't,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13as here on Now You See It, we bring you...
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Here's a trick you can try.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20First, get yourself a small canary in a cage.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Then plonk yourself on a park bench.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Next to someone else, yeah? You need an audience.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27All you have to do is make sure they're watching, then...
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Now you see it...
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Oh, now it's gone!
0:02:33 > 0:02:35That cross-legged lady looks as if
0:02:35 > 0:02:37this sort of thing happens to her every day.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42As I think we're aware by now...
0:02:45 > 0:02:47And when it comes to mastering the art of juggling,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50there are three fundamental rules.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Mind your head...
0:02:54 > 0:02:55..mind your head...
0:02:57 > 0:02:58..and here's the really important one -
0:02:58 > 0:03:00if you're juggling with fire,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02yeah, mind your head.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03AUDIENCE GASPS
0:03:03 > 0:03:05At least the audience was sympathetic.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Ah, good, the lift's here.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14These people are on their way up to a Star Wars convention in London.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18They can't wait to get there.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20But they're having to.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22He may look like a Jedi Knight
0:03:22 > 0:03:25displaying his astonishing powers of mind control,
0:03:25 > 0:03:26but perhaps you've noticed
0:03:26 > 0:03:29he's getting a little help from Hand Solo over to the right.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35As Yoda might say, "Plonker, this man is!"
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Those people are so wishing he was in a galaxy far, far away.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46You're putting your hand into some sort of signal.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47- The Force.- Yeah.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Are you in a rush?- Yeah.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- All right, I'll let it go. - Yeah.- Oh, my God!
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Sometimes, I wish I was a different kind of Force.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55THEY LAUGH
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Let's move upstairs,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00where a different kind of force is being generated by a yoga teacher
0:04:00 > 0:04:04with more than a passing resemblance to Darth Vader.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Lean back into your seated position, OK?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09These people are trying their best.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12They can do the mountain pose and the cobra,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15but they can't manage this one, the show-off.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19The class usually specialises in a form of yoga called ayurvedic.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21All in the abs, it's all in the abs.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Although today it's a different form of yoga,
0:04:23 > 0:04:25called ayu-having-a-laugh-ic.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Oh, that man's very flexible!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Although he can't do Tuesdays.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37When you lock your keys in your car...
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Whoa! I hope it WAS his car!
0:04:46 > 0:04:50But not all tricks go as smoothly as that, as we discover in...
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Murray! Murray, Murray, Murray.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Murray, Murray, Murray, do you like card tricks?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Top American magician David Williamson should have paid heed
0:04:58 > 0:05:01to the old saying - never work with animals,
0:05:01 > 0:05:02or a child called Murray.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Murray, Murray, Murray. Now, watch very closely.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- We have three cards. - No, there's four.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I can see another one under this one.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13LAUGHTER
0:05:13 > 0:05:16APPLAUSE
0:05:26 > 0:05:28CHEERING
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Proof that you can fool some of the people all of the time,
0:05:30 > 0:05:34but you can only fool Murray during rehearsals - and never again.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Let's hear it for Murray!
0:05:37 > 0:05:39APPLAUSE
0:05:41 > 0:05:43You know how annoying it is when you're out and about
0:05:43 > 0:05:46and suddenly you realise you need a bowling ball?
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Not a problem for this man.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Ha!
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Wow!
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Wow, what?
0:06:08 > 0:06:09What?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Come on!
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Now let's find out what can happen when you use a bowling bowl
0:06:17 > 0:06:20for a balancing act whilst on a cruise ship on a choppy sea.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25A lawyer was on the scene in minutes, of course,
0:06:25 > 0:06:28asking if that man had ever had an accident at work
0:06:28 > 0:06:29that wasn't hilarious.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Ow. - LAUGHTER
0:06:34 > 0:06:37And now, a man doing a trick with smaller balls.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48He's really putting some effort into chalking that cue.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Well, that's not to be sneezed at.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Atchoo!- Oh, all right, then.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Musical Magic now.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03And there's nothing worse than when your favourite band splits up.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Almost as impressive
0:07:13 > 0:07:15as being the world's fastest piano-playing juggler.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20MUSIC: Hungarian Rhapsody No 2 by Franz Liszt
0:07:20 > 0:07:22And to be honest, the world's only one.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Oh, this clown's not happy.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Oh!
0:07:29 > 0:07:32On the plus side, now he really has got a big red nose.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Let bafflement commence - it's our...
0:07:40 > 0:07:42And straightaway, something smells fishy.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Oh, hang on, we are in a fish and chip shop!
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- So, guys, how are you doing? I'm Damien. What's your name?- Kurt.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Kurt?- Yeah.- And?- I'm Kadeem. - Kadeem. Nice to meet you.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52I'm going to show you a really cool trick.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I hope he isn't just going to make some cod and chips disappear
0:07:54 > 0:07:56because, I'll be honest, I can do that, no problem.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Can you take any card out?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I'll take this one.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- King of hearts, right?- Yes.- Cool.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Can you sign your name on that really quickly?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07You can use this as a little table, sort of thing.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Make it nice and big and clear.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Then just show the card to the camera as well.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Great. So, king of hearts.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Just place it back in anywhere you like.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- All the way in there, right? - Yes.- So I'll just put them away.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24You've had your lunch from the very beginning,
0:08:24 > 0:08:28it's been in your hands the whole entire time.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Can you slowly open up...?
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Open it up.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Let me stand back a little bit!
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Open it right up.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- OK, you can see it? - That looks so tasty.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Can you lift up the fish for me, because he's holding the box? Yeah.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Just lift it right up. - May as well, it's stone-cold by now.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Can you break the fish open? Like...
0:08:45 > 0:08:46- What?- Break the fish open.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- Break it into...- Break it open?
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Oh!
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Bruv, the card's in there!
0:08:54 > 0:08:55KURT LAUGHS
0:08:55 > 0:08:57And it's got my name on it!
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Now, if he can end the trick by bringing it back to life,
0:09:00 > 0:09:01I'll be even more impressed.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I don't understand, you never took the box from him.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Forget that, did he catch the fish and then batter it?
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Bruv, it was inside the fish!
0:09:09 > 0:09:12In it! Like, the fish had to have eaten this card.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I'm not sure digestion actually works like that.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I'm going to leave you be. Thanks a lot.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Bruv, it was inside the fish!
0:09:19 > 0:09:21That has still got fish on it.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24I even spelt my name wrong by accident, like an idiot!
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Yeah, he really did!
0:09:27 > 0:09:30That's it. Hold it together,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32keep your feet on the ground,
0:09:32 > 0:09:34keep your head down,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37and we'll give you plenty to chew on next time on Now You See It.
