0:00:06 > 0:00:08..grab a bite to eat...

0:00:09 > 0:00:11..and remain calm at all times.

0:00:11 > 0:00:13Did I win?

0:00:13 > 0:00:15Because these magicians are on fire.

0:00:15 > 0:00:17Well, not literally, we hope.

0:00:18 > 0:00:20Welcome to Now You See It.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35Right, first up, it's...

0:00:35 > 0:00:37(Oh, sorry, sorry, we're going into a library.)

0:00:37 > 0:00:39(Has everyone turned their phone off?)

0:00:39 > 0:00:40PHONE RINGS

0:00:40 > 0:00:43(Oh, there's always one, isn't there?)

0:00:43 > 0:00:46- Hello? Hello? Hello? - PHONE KEEPS RINGING

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hello?

0:00:57 > 0:01:00- RINGING CONTINUES - Hello? Oh...

0:01:00 > 0:01:02To be honest, it's only going to be somebody trying to sell you

0:01:02 > 0:01:04personal injury insurance.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07RINGING CONTINUES

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Or it could be his phone company saying

0:01:09 > 0:01:12he hasn't paid any of his 40 different bills!

0:01:12 > 0:01:14- RINGING CONTINUES - Hello?

0:01:14 > 0:01:16- RINGING CONTINUES - Hello?

0:01:16 > 0:01:18PHONE KEEPS RINGING

0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Hello? - HE SIGHS

0:01:21 > 0:01:22RINGING STOPS

0:01:24 > 0:01:25And that, kids, is a landline.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29I dread to think where he's got it plugged in!

0:01:29 > 0:01:30Oh, I think it's for you.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33Brilliant! He's actually answering it.

0:01:33 > 0:01:34Hello?

0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Pillow fight! - Duck down!

0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Whoa! - Or is it goose?

0:01:39 > 0:01:40Did I win?

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Ah, football, the beautiful game.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47To succeed in this sport,

0:01:47 > 0:01:50you need professionalism, dedication, talent,

0:01:50 > 0:01:53and, of course, terrible dreadlocks.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Run, Cyrildinho! The transfer window's closing!

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Even Cristiano Ronaldo would think, "That's a bit showy-offy!"

0:02:27 > 0:02:29I'm not sure what's going to happen at the end of this,

0:02:29 > 0:02:31but what I do know is that, meanwhile,

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Germany are beating England on penalties.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Back in the changing room.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43You know that saying, "Magic is all smoke and mirrors"?

0:02:43 > 0:02:47Well, here, there's no smoke, and there isn't actually a mirror.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50That's in fact her identical twin behind a pane of glass.

0:02:50 > 0:02:51Let the confusion begin!

0:02:53 > 0:02:55"Hey, where's my reflection gone?"

0:02:58 > 0:03:00What a way to find out you're a vampire.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09I do like the way people look around to see if perhaps their

0:03:09 > 0:03:11reflection has slipped off to one side!

0:03:23 > 0:03:26This trick can be done with non-identical twins,

0:03:26 > 0:03:28but it doesn't work quite as well.

0:03:29 > 0:03:33And if you don't have a twin, you can of course use a mirror.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Remember the old saying,

0:03:38 > 0:03:41"When one door opens, another one closes and squashes you"?

0:03:43 > 0:03:46Ooh, it's a sunny day, so it's time to wear...

0:03:46 > 0:03:50This guy's future is so bright, he's got to wear shades.

0:03:50 > 0:03:51But which ones?

0:03:51 > 0:03:52Whoo!

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Whoo!

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Whoo!

0:03:57 > 0:03:58Time for a nap.

0:04:05 > 0:04:10Now an incredible trick that uses only a manky old blanket...

0:04:10 > 0:04:12an oversized cardigan...

0:04:12 > 0:04:13a nod of the head...

0:04:13 > 0:04:16and...

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Oh, that was quite good.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22Wonder where he's vanished to - New York? The Maldives? Rome?

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Ah, there he is, outside on the patio.

0:04:26 > 0:04:31Ooh, get us a loaf from the freezer while you're out there, will you?

0:04:31 > 0:04:33Not all tricks go according to plan,

0:04:33 > 0:04:35as we find out in our regular feature...

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Is that Cyrildinho getting into the metal box?!

0:04:46 > 0:04:48Now the Penguin from the Batman franchise

0:04:48 > 0:04:50climbs on top of the box, and...

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Don't worry, only his ego was bruised.

0:05:00 > 0:05:01Well, that and his bum.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Now, we love a bit of Animal Magic, don't we?

0:05:12 > 0:05:15You know the old phrase, "He's like a dog with a melon"?

0:05:15 > 0:05:18No, that's because no-one's ever said it till now.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22But here's man and Pomeranian in perfect harmony.

0:05:27 > 0:05:28To be fair, Victoria Beckham's the same

0:05:28 > 0:05:30whenever David picks up a sausage.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Meanwhile, this man's going to make a balloon animal.

0:05:37 > 0:05:41Oh, by scribbling a rubbish face on it, by the looks of things.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43No, I'm sorry, that is simply not good enough!

0:05:48 > 0:05:50And to make matters worse, that balloon is now going to spend

0:05:50 > 0:05:52the rest of its life in captivity.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Now, that's a good trick, and let me assure all viewers that

0:05:58 > 0:06:01no balloons were harmed in the making of this film.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Yep, these two are still at it.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24NARRATOR CHUCKLES

0:06:25 > 0:06:27You're on an eight-hour flight,

0:06:27 > 0:06:29and the passenger sitting next to you wants to show you a card trick.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31What option do you have but to...jump?!

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Unfortunately, that isn't going to stop him.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40He's saying, "Pick a card, any card, just pick a card,

0:06:40 > 0:06:42"we're limited for time here, mate!"

0:06:44 > 0:06:45Ace of diamonds, yeah, seen that.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51It's the rabbit squashed under his helmet I feel sorry for.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56And guess what? Inside his mouth, just past the complimentary peanuts,

0:06:56 > 0:06:59a saliva-covered corner of the ace of diamonds!

0:07:02 > 0:07:04I hope he remembered his parachute.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09There's no flies on this frog - well, he's eaten them all.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12But you know the problem with frogs?

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Very long tongue, but very short-sighted.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Brilliant, it's time for...

0:07:22 > 0:07:25And this week, all the way from the set of Game Of Thrones,

0:07:25 > 0:07:29it's husband-and-wife act Hans and Helga Moretti.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33She seems to have a small animal draped across her shoulders,

0:07:33 > 0:07:36while he's got one nestling underneath his nose.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Just how many assistants does Hans need?!

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Ooh, there's another one.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47Before being suspended from a burning rope,

0:07:47 > 0:07:48Hans is chained and padlocked.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52To be fair, if you're going to sport a moustache like that,

0:07:52 > 0:07:54you do risk being locked up.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Now, remember, Hans and Helga are magicians, so, please,

0:07:57 > 0:08:00only use chains and padlocks for your bike,

0:08:00 > 0:08:02unless you're a professional escapologist.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Houdini used to do this - he'd hide a lock-pick

0:08:04 > 0:08:06in his thick head of hair...

0:08:06 > 0:08:07Ah, I see a problem.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Ah, the assistants are back to carefully shove Hans down

0:08:12 > 0:08:15onto the crash mat.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18Cue yet another glamorous assistant - Fireman Sam!

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Seems a harsh thing for Helga to do to her husband.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26All he did was forget to Sky Plus Strictly!

0:08:31 > 0:08:35I'm no expert, but as a fireman, isn't his job to put out fires?!

0:08:42 > 0:08:44It's never this tense on Friday Wind-Up.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57Phew, thank goodness that array of sharp and deadly-looking knives

0:08:57 > 0:09:01has been magically transformed into a soft, bouncy crash mat.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05Hooray! He's done it! Or has he just fallen off the rope?

0:09:05 > 0:09:08It's quite hard to tell with this trick, isn't it?

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Ah-ha, yes! You did it, Hans! We salute you.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Right, I'm off to work on my moustache now,

0:09:15 > 0:09:18but join me next time for another magical kickabout

0:09:18 > 0:09:20where things might not always go to plan...

0:09:21 > 0:09:24..but we're happy to hear your feedback.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Well, some of the time.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Are either of these two ever going to eat that melon?
