0:00:02 > 0:00:04In the world of magic, you can't trust your eyes -

0:00:04 > 0:00:05or your spoons.

0:00:05 > 0:00:08You'll get to see how some tricks are done

0:00:08 > 0:00:09and how some tricks are done badly.

0:00:11 > 0:00:12Brace yourself, it could get messy.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15Welcome to Now You See It.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Ladies and gentlemen, this is the vanishing Jocelyn.

0:00:28 > 0:00:31This defies all possible explanations.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Except that one.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36- OK, one... - I mean, how hard can this trick be?

0:00:36 > 0:00:37..two, three!

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Mm, yeah, quite hard.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42Ow!

0:00:42 > 0:00:45It's Kalen here and today, my little four-year-old nephew wanted

0:00:45 > 0:00:47to come and shop with me at the grocery store,

0:00:47 > 0:00:49and when we got there, I gave him the list and he couldn't read it.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52So I had to figure out a way to make it a little bit more visual

0:00:52 > 0:00:53for him to understand.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56This was the list that I showed him.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59And this is an idea that I had to make it a little bit more visual.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02If you just... We'll give it a little riffle, like so.

0:01:02 > 0:01:03And as you see...

0:01:03 > 0:01:07Oh, and while you're at it, I think you need some more yellow pads.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09But when you get down to the supermarket,

0:01:09 > 0:01:11watch out for some grocery ghostery.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Woo, spooky!

0:01:13 > 0:01:16Not really. It's only a couple of pranksters who love nothing more

0:01:16 > 0:01:18than to momentarily inconvenience pensioners

0:01:18 > 0:01:20with a remote-controlled trolley.

0:01:23 > 0:01:24Wind-up in aisle three.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28This mayhem is nothing to that woman.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30She's been shopping with toddlers.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37Forget remote-controlled trolleys, where's my pound gone?

0:01:37 > 0:01:39Let's nip down the road now to the corner shop,

0:01:39 > 0:01:41to be entertained by the magic of Ben Hanlin.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45He's deep undercover as a shop assistant.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47David Blaine does the night shift.

0:01:49 > 0:01:50Hang on, that's not yours, Ben.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Right, then. - BEEP

0:01:57 > 0:01:58What?

0:02:02 > 0:02:05- How's the weather doing, man? Good weather?- No, no. I thought that

0:02:05 > 0:02:07- was ours. I thought that's... You got them from here, did you?- Yeah.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09BEEP

0:02:09 > 0:02:11I'm just having, like, my break, so...

0:02:11 > 0:02:13It's all right, isn't it?

0:02:13 > 0:02:14That'll be a no.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16And don't even think about asking him to pay 5p for the bag.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18BEEP

0:02:18 > 0:02:21Can I have a couple more for my break? Is that all right, man?

0:02:21 > 0:02:22Can I just take a few more for my break?

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Yeah, but do I have to get another one?

0:02:24 > 0:02:26No, cos you paid for them, cos it beeped, didn't it?

0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Huh?- I've hardly had many. Look, they're pretty much full.

0:02:29 > 0:02:30Yeah.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32BEEP, BEEP

0:02:32 > 0:02:33Pretty much full, aren't they?

0:02:42 > 0:02:43Put that back on for you.

0:02:45 > 0:02:46Is this a dream or a nightmare?

0:02:47 > 0:02:48See that?

0:02:48 > 0:02:50SPOOKY MUSIC

0:02:52 > 0:02:53Amazing.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56The next customer's buying cat food.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58- Let's see how peckish Ben really is. - There you go. Spot on.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Hey, guys, I've got a quick trick with a bottle.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05If you, er, just...

0:03:07 > 0:03:09That's got him in a spin.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11That was not magic.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Oh, I don't know.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Spinning bottles looks dangerous.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18Maybe a trick with flying spoons will be safer

0:03:18 > 0:03:19in our "How Do They Do That?".

0:03:21 > 0:03:22Ah, lovely.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25A nice relaxing cup of coffee in a motorway service station.

0:03:26 > 0:03:27They are magical places.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31These spoons are trying to escape their cups.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34They've just been told Uri Geller is in the building.

0:03:37 > 0:03:38LAUGHTER

0:03:42 > 0:03:44There's not been this much excitement in that cafe

0:03:44 > 0:03:46since they put paninis on the menu.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50If you want to find out how Etienne Pradier got the spoons to

0:03:50 > 0:03:54magically fly out of the cups, we will reveal all later in the show.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01Nothing strange here, just a completely genuine taxi driver

0:04:01 > 0:04:03with an utterly convincing beard.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08Normally, the magician cuts a woman in half.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10She needn't worry, though, he's not going to do that.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15Nope, he's going to cut his taxi in half.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26She can't believe what she's seeing.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28The meter's still running.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31I want to move to Brazil - everyone is so trusting.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Still, not the worst minicab driver I've ever had.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48I'd give him a tip -

0:04:48 > 0:04:51make sure your taxi's glued together, mate.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Right, what else can we cut in half?

0:04:53 > 0:04:54How about a cucumber?

0:04:58 > 0:05:01I'm just hoping all these people know each other.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05These unsuspecting victims have been asked to put some life hacks

0:05:05 > 0:05:08to the test, but they haven't the slightest hint that

0:05:08 > 0:05:11sitting on the right is magician, Ben Hart.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15Using the materials provided, make stains on each other's T-shirts.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17OK, so...basically, this.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27- There, that is dirty.- That stinks.

0:05:27 > 0:05:28Step two...

0:05:28 > 0:05:31Pick up the hairdryer provided and then carefully stick

0:05:31 > 0:05:33the tinfoil onto the T-shirt, covering the stains.

0:05:37 > 0:05:38And then...

0:05:41 > 0:05:43And then give it a 15-second blast.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Ah, this reminds me of the time I tried to roast a turkey

0:05:48 > 0:05:50in a hotel room.

0:05:56 > 0:05:57Remember, apart from Ben,

0:05:57 > 0:06:00they all think this is a genuine way of removing stains.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05But as you can see, it's a trick - so please don't try this at home.

0:06:06 > 0:06:07Look what you've done.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Mine's...

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Yours are gone! Why is that?

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Wow! Yours are totally gone.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19There's literally nothing there.

0:06:20 > 0:06:21That... What?!

0:06:24 > 0:06:28Meanwhile, at the other end of the marquee, it's Sam Smith and Dynamo.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30I want to try and get inside your mind a little bit.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32But they're not here to mess up each other's T-shirts.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34- I'm scared. - I want you to think of any artist

0:06:34 > 0:06:37that's performing over the weekend.

0:06:37 > 0:06:38OK.

0:06:38 > 0:06:39Got someone?

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Yes.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Can I take your programme?

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Yeah.

0:06:45 > 0:06:46OK.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55That pot plant really brightens things up, doesn't it?

0:06:58 > 0:07:00This is so weird.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Oh, my God.

0:07:06 > 0:07:07Is the person you're thinking of...

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Don't say their name, but is it on that page?

0:07:09 > 0:07:10Yeah.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Look at me.

0:07:14 > 0:07:15Snoop Dogg.

0:07:16 > 0:07:17That's so weird.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20And that's not the first time the words "Snoop Dogg" and "weird"

0:07:20 > 0:07:23have been uttered in the same sentence.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26We all know balloons can go pop, but his one's gone one better.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29A whole bottle of it.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Remember the jumping spoons?

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Well, this is where we find out how he did it.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41So, what's the secret of my jumping spoons?

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Well, I can tell you, it's really very simple.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49The cups are normal, it's what I put in them that creates the magic.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Let me present a bulldog clip

0:07:53 > 0:07:54and a sugar lump.

0:07:56 > 0:07:57Place the sugar in the clip,

0:07:57 > 0:07:59put it in the cup,

0:07:59 > 0:08:01carefully place a teaspoon on top.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Now, add some liquid...

0:08:06 > 0:08:07Cold liquid.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10..in this case, water, and watch what happens.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16The liquid will quickly dissolve the sugar,

0:08:16 > 0:08:19springing the clip and causing the spoon to fly.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Et voila! So easy. Why not try it yourself?

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Because I might have someone's eye out.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Time now for The Big Finish.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34Stretched out on the banquette, it's former Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt,

0:08:34 > 0:08:36and illusionist Jason Latimer.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Who's great, but, I'll admit,

0:08:38 > 0:08:41he hasn't totally fooled me into believing that's a real painting.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Although, to be fair, the eyes do follow you around the room.

0:08:46 > 0:08:47Steady as she goes.

0:08:51 > 0:08:52APPLAUSE

0:08:54 > 0:08:56OPERATIC SINGING

0:08:58 > 0:09:00You think that's clever -

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Kimberly's actually singing opera at the same time.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Incredible.

0:09:17 > 0:09:18She's been framed.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25All right, Jason, we get the idea.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28Stop waving that frame about and figure out how to get her down.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Join us next time on Now You See It

0:09:32 > 0:09:34for more amazement,

0:09:34 > 0:09:36bewilderment...

0:09:36 > 0:09:38SCREAMING

0:09:38 > 0:09:39..and big laughs.
