0:00:02 > 0:00:03Welcome to a world of magic and delusions.
0:00:03 > 0:00:05A place for instant camping,
0:00:05 > 0:00:07superhero pranking,
0:00:07 > 0:00:08and cutlery that's enchanting.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12This is Now You See It.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Don't worry - he's damaged nothing important.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Now, before you try any magic trick,
0:00:30 > 0:00:32you're going to need a wand.
0:00:32 > 0:00:32Or two.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Well, seeing as we're here,
0:00:35 > 0:00:36let's go for three.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39I'd suggest we give him a big hand,
0:00:39 > 0:00:41but I guess he must already have one.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Either way, that was wand-erful.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Peter Valance has got amazing skills.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Though, on the downside, table 12 are having to eat soup with a fork.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57HE BEATBOXES You don't see enough magic tricks
0:00:57 > 0:00:59with obsolete music formats these days.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Although, in their defence, this act is a lot less impressive
0:01:04 > 0:01:05when they do it with MP3s.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Ah, these guys really know how to throw a party.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12How long did they say that cab would be again?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17VOICEOVER: Mentalist Haim Goldenberg has gone to all the effort
0:01:17 > 0:01:19of setting up a stall on his hols.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21He's using his amazing mind skills
0:01:21 > 0:01:23to guess the birth dates of everyone he meets.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26What is your birthday?
0:01:26 > 0:01:27April 15th.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- Not August?- No!
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Oh.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- You're lucky today.- Thank you. - Thank you.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39August 5, '87?
0:01:39 > 0:01:40- No.- No?
0:01:40 > 0:01:41July 6th, '87.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Hmm, I'm sorry.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47So he got it right, but he pretends it's wrong.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Of course, he wasn't born yesterday
0:01:49 > 0:01:52and knows that they won't resist taking a peek at what his guess was.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- What is your birthday?- March 16.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58March 16. Not August?
0:01:58 > 0:01:59- No.- Oh.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- This is for you.- Can I see what you wrote?- If you ask.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04You're kidding!
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- What did you guess?- You want to see?
0:02:06 > 0:02:07- Yes, please.- Why not.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12May 25th, 1968.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- '68?- '68.- No way.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Be warned - guessing a woman's age
0:02:16 > 0:02:18should only be undertaken by a skilled professional,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21as it may result in physical injury.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Oh! Ha-ha!
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Enough of shouting, "Why are they doing that?!",
0:02:25 > 0:02:27let's now ask, "How do they do that?"
0:02:27 > 0:02:28And if you've been keeping up
0:02:28 > 0:02:31with your Hollywood superhero blockbusters, this one's for you.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34We're going to see if we can find someone who can lift Thor's hammer.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Oh, it takes a lot of effort to lift a hammer - well, for me it does.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38I hate DIY.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Worthy.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44This is a replica of the Mjolnir,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47the weapon of choice of the mythical Norse god, Thor.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49But the only ting that looks "Thor" here
0:02:49 > 0:02:52ith their hand ath they try to lift it! Hee-hee!
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Wait, I just... It just moved!
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Did it wobble?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00You're a little worthy, you're like Captain America.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01You're a little worthy!
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Something tells me she's not really trying - nice boots, though.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16But in comes the God of Thunder himself - and behold.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Now, this chap here reckons he knows what's going on.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26INDISTINCT CHAT
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Mm-hmm, really?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30HE CHATS
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Mh-hmm.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Absolutely, yeah. Ha-ha. Hmm.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Supreme confidence.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Prepare to be impressed.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Use both hands.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Bend your knees!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Ah, well. Keep watching, mate,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51and we'll show you how it was done later in the show.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55OK, it's time to showcase another of the best magicians on the planet
0:03:55 > 0:03:57as we look at the magic of Cyril Takayama.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Hey!
0:04:00 > 0:04:02And Cyril seems to be on his holidays,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05though that's meaningless when you're on 24-hour magic alert.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Can I show you something?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09See, he can't stop himself!
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Little lobster moulds here.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12Follow me, follow me.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15All right, so what did I make back there?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- A lobster.- A lobster.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Check this out.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Perfect. You hold that?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Hold that, OK. Now, I want you to watch this. Watch.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Whoa!
0:04:38 > 0:04:40If he's been hiding that down his trunks,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42he is one very brave magician!
0:04:43 > 0:04:45THEY LAUGH AND SHRIEK
0:04:45 > 0:04:48If he can rustle up some lemon and a bib, I'll be very grateful.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- Katie and?- Al.- Al. Katie and Al.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55For those who like their tricks like they like their coffee,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58here's one that's scalding-hot, a bit liquidy
0:04:58 > 0:04:59and costs about, ooh, £2.70.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01You're going to drink that now, are you?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Well, we're going to do something kind of cooler.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Good thing it's double cup. We'll try.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I'm going to pour half into this one. Like that.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- OK? And are you right-handed or left-handed?- Right-handed.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Take your right hand, take this one, and hold it, like, over your head.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Don't drop it, don't set it on yourself. Are you right or left?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- Right-handed.- OK, some thing as her, hold that up over your head.- OK.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Don't set it on your head - hold it over your head.- OK.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- You're going to do something here. Katie, you're going to go first.- OK.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27What I want you to do is step this way just a bit.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Give you guys some room.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31You want to step off the edge a little bit too, like over,
0:05:31 > 0:05:32away from the edge.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Yes, Wes - make sure he stays off the road.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37OK, what you're going to do is you're going to close your eyes
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- and slowly turn in a circle.- OK.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Try and make a perfect 360 with your eyes closed.- OK.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Give it a go. Give it a go.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Nice and slow, nice and slow. That's pretty good! OK, you're good.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50All right. Good job.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52All right, Al, you're going to try the exact same thing,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55but I would go a little slower, that was pretty quick,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57and you're close to the edge. So we'll go nice and slow.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Ooh, sneaky.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01He's drinking the girl's coffee
0:06:01 > 0:06:03while his friend's got his eyes closed.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Al, you did a good job. Katie, you're going to do me one favour,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08you're going to go like this and just turn it over.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Turn it over?- Yeah.- OK.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Unsurprisingly to us, her cup's empty - but he doesn't know that.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Al, you give that a try.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- That's scary. - It's OK, you can handle it.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Don't pour cups of hot coffee over YOUR head -
0:06:22 > 0:06:24it's a terrible waste of money.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Should I throw it behind me? - No, come on!
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- I can feel it in there.- No, you'll be fine.- I just bought this shirt!
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Oh!- Like a magician would.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Let's see that again. Brilliant!
0:06:38 > 0:06:41We were the ones being fooled all along.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Thanks, guys.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Daniel's arrived late at Glastonbury
0:06:45 > 0:06:47and doesn't want to miss Ed Sheeran.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49That was "in-tents"!
0:06:49 > 0:06:50And here's a magical way
0:06:50 > 0:06:51to put on some headgear.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Argh!
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Oh, maybe he should have been wearing a hard hat.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01With great power comes great responsibility -
0:07:01 > 0:07:03so I guess we'd better reveal
0:07:03 > 0:07:06our superhero-themed How Do They Do That?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09You'll remember that no-one could lift
0:07:09 > 0:07:11the god of thunder's mighty weapon,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13apart from this gentleman.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Worthy.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16How was it done? Well, it's all rather simple, really.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Let's look inside the hammer.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Oh, yeah, you see,
0:07:21 > 0:07:24that's the old capacitive touch sensor and Arduino setup.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Mm-hm. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28and the solid-state relay. Yeah, I knew that.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Absolutely essential.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Oh, I hope his mum didn't need that microwave oven!
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Oh, yeah, of course - batteries, you shouldn't forget your batteries.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Ah, now, I understand that -
0:07:38 > 0:07:39a fingerprint sensor,
0:07:39 > 0:07:41so only the inventor could pick it up.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44I think he sums it up best here.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Magnets!
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Yeah, magnets that get turned off - if you're me.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Exactly.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Right, enough of human beings for a second.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Let's take a look at some animal magic for our big finish.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59And here's a sentence you don't often hear.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04I'm going to make four elephants vanish!
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Yep, Criss Angel's going to make four sizeable creatures vanish.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10And just to clarify, he means the animals -
0:08:10 > 0:08:14he's not being rude about his American audience, thank you.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Criss has got a foolproof way of ensuring his audience stay to watch.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21..that are handcuffing everybody to each other.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26We have our human chain complete. Is that true? Everybody good back that?
0:08:26 > 0:08:27THEY CHEER
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Let's raise the back curtain up.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Elephants are perfect for magic as they're very easy to train.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Whenever you tell them something, they're all ears.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41..of the curtain, creating an extra layer of impossibility.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Oh, good, I like my impossibility to come in layers -
0:08:44 > 0:08:46like a magic Viennetta!
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Raise up the front curtain - let's do this bad boy!
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Raise it up.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Raise it up. Kristin, wave to me.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56The only way they could get out of there is flying,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59and while I've seen a horse fly and even a house fly,
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I ain't never seen an elephant fly!
0:09:01 > 0:09:03There's a peanut. There you go.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06There's a peanut. There you go. Are you ready?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Now, that's what I call a dazzling trick.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11The four elephants, by the way, are absolutely fine.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I've no idea what happened to the four elephant handlers, however,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16who also vanished.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Oh, well. Got to run.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20There's a very angry man from the zoo on the phone.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Join us again for more Now You See It.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Ooh, time for me to disappear.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Like a magician would!
