0:00:02 > 0:00:04If you love magic, pranks and stunts, you're in the right place.

0:00:04 > 0:00:07We've got things that will dazzle you, trip you up...

0:00:07 > 0:00:09and grab you.

0:00:11 > 0:00:12Welcome to Now You See It.

0:00:23 > 0:00:27Now, here's some footage of a young Eddie The Eagle.

0:00:27 > 0:00:29"Oops. I hadn't quite nailed it."

0:00:29 > 0:00:31Still, lovely guy, he'd bend over backwards for you...

0:00:33 > 0:00:34..or indeed forwards.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38LAUGHTER

0:00:42 > 0:00:45What's going on? Justin Flom here.

0:00:45 > 0:00:49I'm out. Um...

0:00:49 > 0:00:52Ah. The guy in the Batman sweatshirt.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00He's syphoning off that man's drink, instead of buying one...

0:01:00 > 0:01:03saving himself about 20 quid in the process.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11HE LAUGHS

0:01:11 > 0:01:12Ooh! The man's noticed.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14I like the way he thinks his drink may have slipped

0:01:14 > 0:01:16onto the floor, somehow.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20After a hard day stealing someone's mango Frappuccino,

0:01:20 > 0:01:23there's nothing a magician likes more than to put his feet up...

0:01:23 > 0:01:25a tree.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29Keep it to yourself, but the secret is to tie a squirrel to each ankle.

0:01:40 > 0:01:41I wonder what he's reading.

0:01:41 > 0:01:45Probably an article about how expensive hammocks are.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53Sadly, he had to stop doing this when he caught Dutch elm disease.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57And now it's Andrew Mayne,

0:01:57 > 0:02:01who's "Mayne" objective seems to be bothering people in restaurants.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04What we're doing is, I'm going to try to send my presence

0:02:04 > 0:02:07through my video here, and move the napkin.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11- BOTH:- Ohhh! - THEY LAUGH

0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Isn't that cool?- Come on. - I like that.- You ready? All right.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18Andrew's a great magician. You could call him a safe pair of hands...

0:02:18 > 0:02:19Check this out.

0:02:19 > 0:02:20THEY SCREAM

0:02:20 > 0:02:23..except that one, which is terrifying.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25OK... OK...

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Ahhhh.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32- Wave your hand under there. Everything's fine.- OK.

0:02:32 > 0:02:33Wait up.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36- OK.- And we all believe, maybe there's something to that.- Awesome.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Want to see that again? Check it out.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Oh, gosh!- Oh-ho!

0:02:42 > 0:02:45THEY SCREAM

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Are you serious? What?!

0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Is that cool?- There's nobody under there.- How you doing?

0:02:52 > 0:02:54- Is there people under there? - How did you do that?

0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Some kind of connection, right? - Oh!- Absolutely!

0:02:57 > 0:02:58SHE SCREAMS

0:02:58 > 0:02:59Let's give him a big hand!

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Or we could just e-mail it to him.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04I can't believe that happened!

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Don't pay for your school dinner this way - it could take ages.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13You feel naked without your phone, these days, don't you?

0:03:13 > 0:03:14Huh?

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Phew!

0:03:16 > 0:03:19Ooh, great, it's one of those sofa summer sales.

0:03:19 > 0:03:2150% off everything.

0:03:21 > 0:03:22Don't worry, he was taken to hospital,

0:03:22 > 0:03:26where doctors described his condition as "comfortable."

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Time now to meet an Irish mentalist.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30I'm not being rude, by the way - that's his actual job title.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Here's the magic of Keith Barry.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35I've invited Nicole from The Pussycat Dolls

0:03:35 > 0:03:38and the musical artist Eve out here today

0:03:38 > 0:03:40for a drive which, believe me,

0:03:40 > 0:03:41they're never going to forget.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Oh!- I've got a metal blindfold here which you need to slip on.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47I'm going to say that blindfolded driving is not cool. Don't do it.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Like you would.- You can't see anything through that metal?

0:03:50 > 0:03:52- I cannot see anything. - OK, I'm going to put the bag on.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Can you see anything at all through those bags and blindfolds?

0:03:55 > 0:03:57- No.- There's no way you can see, correct?- Mm-hmm.- OK.

0:03:57 > 0:04:01Nicole is going to extreme lengths here to hide from the paparazzi.

0:04:01 > 0:04:02- Oh, no.- OK, keep your hands there.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05There's no way to see through that blindfold at all, correct?

0:04:05 > 0:04:07- No, I can't see. - OK. Let's take off the bag.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10You take off the metal part yourself.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12- Can I open my eyes? - Yeah, open your eyes.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Have you ever heard of second sight?- No.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Second sight is whereby, basically, a mind control specialist

0:04:17 > 0:04:19can see through somebody else's eyes.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Now, first of all, I want you to make sure...

0:04:21 > 0:04:24there's no mirrors on me or anything. Have a look.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Genuinely, look down here. Cos I'm going to...

0:04:26 > 0:04:27- No.- Happy?

0:04:27 > 0:04:30OK, the reason I got you to check... I'm going to try this right now.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33And you say you've done this trick before, Keith?

0:04:36 > 0:04:38I'm going to tuck this in.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43- And you're going to drive? - OK, I'm going to try and drive.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47EVE AND NICOLE SHRIEK

0:04:47 > 0:04:51Listen to that shrieking! It's like a Pussycats Dolls concert.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53I... I meant the audience.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55- NICOLE SHRIEKS - I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking!

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Look at the speed Keith's going!

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Left, to the left, to the left.

0:05:00 > 0:05:01EVE SCREAMS

0:05:01 > 0:05:03OK, OK, OK, OK!

0:05:03 > 0:05:05To the right, to the left, to the left!

0:05:07 > 0:05:09I'm shaking right now!

0:05:11 > 0:05:12Did I do OK?

0:05:12 > 0:05:15No, I'm afraid to say you failed your driving test, Mr Barry.

0:05:15 > 0:05:16Now, please let me out of the car!

0:05:16 > 0:05:19It was the coolest, scariest thing I've ever done in my whole life.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Like, nobody else can say they've ever done that!- Right. Exactly.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25All those other celebrities out there in Hollywood,

0:05:25 > 0:05:28be afraid, because Keith is in town.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31Still in the USA, with Roman Atwood's bewildering prank

0:05:31 > 0:05:35in sunny California. Surely the last place you'd expect to get a cold.

0:05:35 > 0:05:36HE SNEEZES VIOLENTLY

0:05:36 > 0:05:39He's got a serious case of man flu.

0:05:39 > 0:05:40HE SNEEZES

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Unfortunately, he's got nowhere to throw his tissues.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45HE SNEEZES

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Well, you shouldn't have put all that pepper on his spag bol!

0:05:48 > 0:05:50HE SNEEZES

0:05:50 > 0:05:52On the plus side, he could use that sneeze

0:05:52 > 0:05:54to clear the leaves off his lawn.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58What was that? Was that you?!

0:05:59 > 0:06:01That wasn't me, that was you.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Did you just sneeze the trash cans over?!

0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Did you see that? - What did you just do there?

0:06:06 > 0:06:08- HE SNEEZES - "Bless you" is what you should say.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Those bins will be left like that, now,

0:06:10 > 0:06:13- until the second Tuesday of the month.- Bless you.

0:06:13 > 0:06:14HE LAUGHS

0:06:14 > 0:06:18What's worse than one precocious teenage boy?

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Three - no - four teenage boys.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25And here's a VERY heavy sleeper.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Oh, it's sad to see Teletubbyland has gone to seed.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Or maybe this is just the worst Center Parcs ever.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Anyway, time for a motorbike stunt.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38He'll be fine - he had his helmet on.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42Well, as any self-respecting coward would do, the guy in headphones

0:06:42 > 0:06:44elects to run away very quickly, and pretend it never happened.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Quite how he'll explain it to his friend's mum is beyond me, too.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54Ha-ha! He's back. Now, that really was a Triumph.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Or was it a Kawasaki?

0:06:57 > 0:07:01The subject of this Three Is The Magic Number is two,

0:07:01 > 0:07:02and by that I mean twins.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Magic twins.

0:07:07 > 0:07:08Yeah, I know what you're thinking -

0:07:08 > 0:07:11"They're not twins - their jackets are different colours."

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Well, it's the only way their mum can keep track

0:07:13 > 0:07:14of the twin she likes.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Clearly, she prefers the one in the red, who responsibly

0:07:18 > 0:07:22stops his sibling from messing about with giant matches.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Nice dramatic door-shutting, there.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28But where's Mum?

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Ah, here she is, looking great for 86.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Ooh - bit doddery, though.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Now, set cabin doors to manual - it's time for our Big Finish.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39And this is what I call in-flight entertainment.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Extreme escape artist Robert Gallup performing his legendary

0:07:42 > 0:07:47The Challenge Of The Death Dive, in which he risks certain death.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51Not just any old death - certain death, which is much, much worse.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Robert is handcuffed and tied inside a mailbag.

0:07:57 > 0:07:58At least if he doesn't get out in time,

0:07:58 > 0:08:00he'll get posted back to his house.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Presumably in a package marked "Fragile."

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Chucked out of the plane at 18,000ft,

0:08:09 > 0:08:12he has just 50 seconds to escape and put on his parachute.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18It's at about this stage of Robert's stunt

0:08:18 > 0:08:21that the mailbag can never be used again.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34He's out of the mail bag, but he's still inside a locked cage,

0:08:34 > 0:08:36and falling fast.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience...

0:08:40 > 0:08:43particularly if it goes wrong.

0:08:43 > 0:08:44Of course, he's Robert Gallup...

0:08:44 > 0:08:46it won't go wrong.

0:08:48 > 0:08:49Yes! He's got the door open.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51He straps on his parachute.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Yeah, you'd feel a fool if you forgot THAT. And...

0:08:54 > 0:08:58# I believe I can fly

0:08:58 > 0:09:02# I believe I can touch the sky

0:09:02 > 0:09:06# I think about it every night and day... #

0:09:06 > 0:09:09It was a good day. Nobody died.

0:09:09 > 0:09:10That DOES sound like a good day.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13Although a good day for me is usually just having a bit of lunch

0:09:13 > 0:09:14and going to the park.

0:09:14 > 0:09:15You should try it, Robert.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking!

0:09:20 > 0:09:24That's it for this journey into the world of mystery and magic.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27A world in which nothing is quite what it seems.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31At least I hope not, for his sake.
