0:00:02 > 0:00:04Today, we have got an old dog with a new trick.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09The things you are about to see will confound you.

0:00:09 > 0:00:12- Underwater card trick? Welcome... - You're not going to believe this.

0:00:12 > 0:00:13..to Now You See It.

0:00:25 > 0:00:29We start with magical prankster Rahat. He is so busy trying

0:00:29 > 0:00:32to catch a Squirtle he's not looking where he's going.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Of course, this attracts a lot of attention.

0:00:41 > 0:00:42This man has come all the way from the 1970s

0:00:42 > 0:00:45just to see what's happening.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47- Oh!- You're walking on water!

0:00:47 > 0:00:52The last man to walk on water was Jesus and you don't look like Jesus.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56- I really don't.- That doesn't make any sense. That makes no sense.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58Yeah, it was kind of freaky.

0:00:59 > 0:01:00- How...- This is crazy!

0:01:00 > 0:01:01Do it again!

0:01:06 > 0:01:07Oh! Oh!

0:01:10 > 0:01:12What is going on?!

0:01:12 > 0:01:13Did you see that?

0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Who are you calling? - I'm calling my mama, that's who!

0:01:16 > 0:01:19Mama, let me tell you something.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23So, I know you're not going to believe this.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26I was walking in the park and this dude, like, walked, like,

0:01:26 > 0:01:29he walked on water.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32No, no, I got to go. This is... This is...a lot.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36I think he'll still be pondering on that to this day.

0:01:36 > 0:01:37I got to think about things.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Who said building blocks are boring?

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Everyone! Until now.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46These blocks are actually balanced.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Judging by the bizarre way Danny Cole has stacked that crooked pile

0:01:49 > 0:01:52of bricks, I think he might have been one of the builders who did

0:01:52 > 0:01:54my kitchen extension.

0:01:54 > 0:01:55Mmm.

0:01:55 > 0:01:56And it's not a trick.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02And it's not an illusion.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12It's actually...

0:02:15 > 0:02:16..real magic.

0:02:16 > 0:02:17Is it real magic?

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Or do the blocks now speak the truth?

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Want to make a big splash in the magic world?

0:02:24 > 0:02:26It's all done with slight of fist.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30And now, it's our Magic Moment.

0:02:30 > 0:02:34This time, it's the moment when a perfectly-ordinary man discovers

0:02:34 > 0:02:38he has extraordinary powers. Not the best thing to happen

0:02:38 > 0:02:40when you are holding a chainsaw, but let's see.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54Well, no tree ever wants to be seen with their roots showing.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Now, to a restaurant kitchen, where the aptly-named Ali Cook

0:02:59 > 0:03:03has conjured up a card-flinging machine - whatever that is.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07- ..down here.- Through here, yes? - About there. That's great.- OK, then.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Excellent. OK?

0:03:09 > 0:03:12For the very first time, I'd like you to name your card.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15Three of diamonds.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18- It's the three of diamonds, yeah? - Yeah.- OK, here we go. Watch.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20"Look, Mum, no hands!"

0:03:21 > 0:03:23But look between his toes.

0:03:23 > 0:03:24It's only the three of diamonds!

0:03:24 > 0:03:27The waitresses are delighted.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Unlike the customer, who has been waiting for his egg sandwich

0:03:29 > 0:03:32- for an hour.- I can't believe it! How did you find it?

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Want to know how to make a car disappear,

0:03:42 > 0:03:45apart from leaving it unattended on an inner-city street?

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Now, that ability would be handy in rush hour.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Have you ever levitated before?- No.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58- This is going to be easy. - Here is Rich Ferguson, proving that

0:03:58 > 0:04:02Abe Lincoln was wrong - you can fool all of the people all of the time.

0:04:02 > 0:04:03From this moment, don't move,

0:04:03 > 0:04:05cos you don't want to fall when you are 23 feet up!

0:04:05 > 0:04:08With just some black goggles and a wooden plank buried in the sand,

0:04:08 > 0:04:12he makes this lot believe he can get them to levitate 23 feet above

0:04:12 > 0:04:14- a magic towel.- Don't move your arms.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Just go with it. There is a natural balance you'll find.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Can he really fool people into thinking they're flying,

0:04:20 > 0:04:21with such simple equipment?

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Yes, apparently, as long as they are American.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Keep your balance!

0:04:28 > 0:04:29No, no, no!

0:04:35 > 0:04:37No, no, get your balance, get your balance!

0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Get your balance. You're good. - How high am I, bro?

0:04:43 > 0:04:47LAUGHTER

0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Did you think you were in the air?- I totally did!

0:04:50 > 0:04:53- "How am I going to land up there?" - Everybody kept telling me,

0:04:53 > 0:04:54"You are up there!"

0:04:56 > 0:04:57Back to Earth with a bump now,

0:04:57 > 0:05:01as we offer tips to every budding magician, with...

0:05:03 > 0:05:06This chap has pulled quite a crowd. He's been doing this trick about

0:05:06 > 0:05:08eight or nine hours.

0:05:12 > 0:05:13- Are those cards yours?- No.- OK.

0:05:13 > 0:05:18Yeah, OK, we know none of these four are the lady's card.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23Of course, it's good to fool your audience into thinking it's all

0:05:23 > 0:05:26going to pot - and then dazzle them, with a brilliant finale.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Oh, that crowd can't wait for the spectacular finish!

0:05:31 > 0:05:34LAUGHTER

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Well, a big reaction, nonetheless.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Street magic - nowhere to hide!

0:05:40 > 0:05:44He made a real dog's dinner of that. Speaking of which, here is some...

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Not all magicians have a glamorous assistant.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50This man has a small dog,

0:05:50 > 0:05:53as practise gets underway for Crufts' Got Talent.

0:05:53 > 0:05:54And...

0:05:56 > 0:06:00..gives you the chance to think about it, for a second. Pick a card.

0:06:01 > 0:06:02On you go. Pick a good one.

0:06:02 > 0:06:03All righty.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05So, she picked the six of hearts.

0:06:05 > 0:06:06That's a good one, Jilly.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08We place that right on top of the deck.

0:06:08 > 0:06:09Top of the deck.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11We shuffle the deck.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Ask Jilly, please, get the box.

0:06:20 > 0:06:21Good girl!

0:06:21 > 0:06:23We place the deck in the box.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26We carefully close the box, like such.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31We place the box, with Jilly's card, in the magic bag.

0:06:31 > 0:06:32Get the box. Get the card.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34And does she have it?

0:06:34 > 0:06:36You did it! Gimme five!

0:06:37 > 0:06:40Next, how to have fun with a photocopier, without sitting on it.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Those 3-D printers are amazing!

0:06:48 > 0:06:51So, you're underwater. What would you rather look at -

0:06:51 > 0:06:54the Great Barrier Reef and it's 100,000 fish species...

0:06:54 > 0:06:56or a card trick?

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Yeah, me, too. Choose a card.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Using the special underwater language of pointing,

0:07:02 > 0:07:05I see that the chosen card is the seven of clubs.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10And what's that in her mouth?!

0:07:14 > 0:07:15Amaze-balls!

0:07:15 > 0:07:16MUSIC: Jaws film theme

0:07:16 > 0:07:19They were both so absorbed in the trick, they never noticed

0:07:19 > 0:07:21the great white shark swimming up behind them!

0:07:21 > 0:07:23MUSIC COMES TO CRESCENDO

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Which brings us neatly to...

0:07:28 > 0:07:30DOING!

0:07:30 > 0:07:32If you want to be the best and want to beat the rest,

0:07:32 > 0:07:34levitation's what you need.

0:07:34 > 0:07:40Which is also what this assistant in London's Covent Garden is lacking.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Of course, what anyone needs in a situation like this

0:07:42 > 0:07:44is a supportive audience. I know just the crowd...

0:07:44 > 0:07:47Argh-h-h-h-h!!

0:07:50 > 0:07:51Boo-o-o-o-o!!

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Time for our big finish. Some really cool magic now,

0:07:55 > 0:07:59as Ben Hart unwisely performs a trick in just his pants,

0:07:59 > 0:08:01in a room that is minus five degrees.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06The reason I brought you here to this freezing cold environment

0:08:06 > 0:08:09- is so you know nothing is going in or out of sleeves.- Yes.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11And it is so cold I can hardly move my hands. So, my hands

0:08:11 > 0:08:14are definitely not going to be going faster than your eyes can see.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16I have got a box of eggs here.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20I need you to choose one at random. Just take out your favourite egg.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24- Be careful, don't drop it. - No, don't drop it,

0:08:24 > 0:08:27- cos that is your favourite egg. - This egg?- No.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31- You do not want this egg?- No.

0:08:31 > 0:08:32- You do not want this egg?- No.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34- You do not want this egg?- No!

0:08:34 > 0:08:36- You do not want this egg?- No.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Now, we have an egg, we just need somewhere to cook it.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Yep, OK!

0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Yeah!- He's not suggesting cooking the egg in his pants, is he?

0:08:44 > 0:08:46- No!- Yes!- You're not normal!

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Would you drop the egg in there.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54OK, and now we turn on the timer and just wait.

0:08:55 > 0:08:59And what I do is, I can just summon up all this heat.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02- It's getting really warm. I don't know if you can feel that.- Yeah.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05Get ready. Talk amongst yourselves! Right, here we go.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Here we go! It's done! You will not believe me.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11But inside my pants, I have summoned up...

0:09:13 > 0:09:16..the power... It's very hot, actually. ..to turn this egg...

0:09:18 > 0:09:19..into a hard-boiled one.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21SHE SCREAMS

0:09:23 > 0:09:26- And it's really cooked! - Exactly how you like it!

0:09:26 > 0:09:29That egg might be boiled, but their brains are scrambled.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31- You can eat it! - I'm good, thank you(!)

0:09:31 > 0:09:32What do you keep in your pants?!

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Clearly, a saucepan of boiling water, my dear.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39And that is it! Join me next time, for more amazing thrills,

0:09:39 > 0:09:42horrific spills and unintentional chills

0:09:42 > 0:09:43on Now You See It.
