0:00:02 > 0:00:04In the world of magic anything can happen.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08Why can't he just use the lift like everyone else?
0:00:09 > 0:00:11You'll see things you can't explain.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Don't lose the plot.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Welcome to Now You See It.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Now with added human slot machine. Cannot wait.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32This is fruit swapping.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Wow. Wow.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Whoa.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Obviously, when you think of tricks, you immediately think watermelons.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Yaseen continues this with his cute pig. Where's the melon?
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Here's the melon. Go on. Take a bite.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Seriously, a quick bite.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51OK. That'll be a no then.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54And just to prove that the watermelon is the go-to
0:00:54 > 0:00:55fruit for today's magic,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58see how the old sawing a lady in half trick is given
0:00:58 > 0:01:02a fresh fruit makeover by self-styled magic poet Yif.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10There is more to this though, luckily.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Take this small invisible piece of pure magic,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15pop it in the watermelon and...
0:01:16 > 0:01:21..after a bit of faffing, and a little bit more faffing...
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Behold, half watermelon, half banana.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26It's a water-nana.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28And here's a banana-lon.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30And, let's be honest, if we had magic powers,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33that's the first thing we'd try, isn't it?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36She looks surprised and perhaps a little bit annoyed
0:01:36 > 0:01:39that he's messed up the fruit she's just paid for.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Great for those times when you buy a watermelon and then you think,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45"Oh, I wish this was a banana."
0:01:45 > 0:01:46We've all done it.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Mmm. Looks like she's really enjoying that.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53It's a bit like those hard-boiled eggs and pork pies.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Don't know how they do that either.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Now, take one watermelon, a lot of rubber bands
0:02:01 > 0:02:06and two Swedish guys with absolutely nothing better to do.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Place a rubber band over the melon like so, and another...
0:02:09 > 0:02:11and another...
0:02:11 > 0:02:13and another, and so on.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19I wonder if they squeeze it hard enough, will a banana come out?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Agh!
0:02:22 > 0:02:24I know it's mean, but I quite enjoyed that bit.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Notice that they're grown-ups,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31and even THEY told their parents what they were doing.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Why do you think Bjorn and Sven here have borrowed
0:02:34 > 0:02:36tiny Tinie Tempah's glasses?
0:02:42 > 0:02:43Ah, that's why.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47If they wanted to split their melon in two,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50why didn't they use a knife like normal people?
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Look at the mess.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Didn't their mums tell them they should never play with their food?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Hang on. There's a tiny bit of melon they haven't destroyed.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Job done.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02In magic, everybody has to start somewhere
0:03:02 > 0:03:06and, inevitably, some early tricks will go wrong.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Of course, it's best to keep calm and maybe nobody will notice.
0:03:09 > 0:03:15Oh, my God. Every single stupid time it does that.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Isn't it annoying when you've just peeled an orange
0:03:20 > 0:03:22and then you don't fancy eating it till later?
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Sorted.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Here's Professor Wiseman, head of the Royal Institute
0:03:27 > 0:03:30of Surprisingly Large But Sparsely Furnished Living Rooms.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Aha. A piece of black cloth. Interesting.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36But what do magicians do before anything happens?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Spin awkwardly round on the spot.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Now that's done. Let the magic begin.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47A small red ball. I've been looking for that.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Anything else under there?
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Oh, a large orange ball. Impressive.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01And a quick chance for the professor to show off his basketball skills.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Well, the professor can't stand around here all day.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Time for him to abruptly leave the room.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09But how do they do that?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Have a look at this alternative angle.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Professor Wiseman has cleverly employed a ninja warrior
0:04:20 > 0:04:23as his secret ball wrangler smartly concealed by the prof
0:04:23 > 0:04:25himself so we don't see.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Looks pretty straightforward,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55but it's actually a fine art, as these outtakes show.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Yep, seen you.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Oh, seen you again.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Oops.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Yep, definitely seen you by the radiator.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Oh, yeah, and again.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Which brings us neatly to It Worked In Rehearsal.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22A woman floats in mid air, held up only by the power of magic
0:05:22 > 0:05:24and some fairly obvious supports.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27But watch as the supports are removed,
0:05:27 > 0:05:31and, now relying on magic alone, just let go and...
0:05:31 > 0:05:33CRASH Oh, darn it.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40And now for a human dynamo, as we enjoy the magic of...Dynamo.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Some people will go to extreme lengths just to avoid
0:05:43 > 0:05:46the social embarrassment of farting in a lift.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Now, clearly, this is a trick for trained magicians
0:05:48 > 0:05:52and Spider-Man but not you at home, OK?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54At least if the current job goes wrong,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Dynamo can fall back on cleaning windows.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00OK, as somebody clever once said, "Three is the magic number."
0:06:00 > 0:06:04And here are three handy magic hints for your finances.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06First of all, get Cash for Windows 3.0.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Tap, copy, collect, spend.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Lovely.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Secondly, if you want your money to stretch further,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16do what Magic Singh does.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Just stretch it further. - Still a bit warm.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- We got a 10p coin. Have a look at that.- Can I touch it?- Yeah.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Go for it. Go. Check it.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27What?
0:06:27 > 0:06:28And number three - they say,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31"Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves."
0:06:31 > 0:06:34So human slot machine Mickey Silver must be the best guy
0:06:34 > 0:06:36ever for financial advice.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38MUSIC: Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley
0:06:40 > 0:06:41I don't know what's stranger.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42What he does with his face,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45or the dead body vending machine behind him.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Now, for the first in an occasional series -
0:06:52 > 0:06:54What Magicians Do When They Are Out And About.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00You see, illusionists don't spend all their time in their bedrooms
0:07:00 > 0:07:03practising things - and here's proof.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Sometimes when you need a drink, you want exactly what's on the poster.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08In fact, literally what's on the poster.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Woohoo! If I had that power, I wouldn't use it to produce drinks,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14I'd be using my Ryan Gosling poster.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17- Very good, man.- Fresh.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20No possible.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24Oh, nice.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28He doesn't want applause. He wants four dollars.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33So fresh it came straight out of the poster.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Time now for our big finish.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46And who says you can't pair leather trousers with a moustache?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Shahid Malik here, showing us a regular cardboard box
0:07:50 > 0:07:51and trying to make it look
0:07:51 > 0:07:53as interesting and dramatic as possible.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57See how he purposefully handles those cardboard flaps.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01And if you thought that was amazing,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03there are cardboard flaps on the other end as well.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Now, even if you've just received a cardboard box of your own
0:08:11 > 0:08:13from a popular online retailer,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16this is a one trick you definitely shouldn't try at home.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20His trained assistant and wife, Lisa,
0:08:20 > 0:08:22climbs inside their special box
0:08:22 > 0:08:26while he pushes these giant magic knitting needles through it.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28NARRATOR GASPS Magic!
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Oh, let's hope they haven't had an argument beforehand.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37She's actually his 28th wife.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Not really.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Lisa has practised for years to do this without getting hurt.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47When she grows up she wants to be a marble in KerPlunk.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51You'd have thought the audience would be asking
0:08:51 > 0:08:52him to stop the horror.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53But, no. Listen to them.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55AUDIENCE CHEER
0:09:00 > 0:09:02AUDIENCE APPLAUD
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Why are they clapping?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05We don't know if she has survived yet.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Astonishingly, Lisa comes out totally unscathed.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14A truly incredible stunt.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17But it does make you think, "Did she marry the right man?"
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Surely, there's a more reliable magician on the market.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Aha.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Mickey Silver - handsome, good with his hands
0:09:29 > 0:09:31and not short of a bob or two.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34You could do worse, couldn't you?
0:09:38 > 0:09:44That's it. Join us next time for more reveals, squeals,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47and exploding meals on Now You See It.
