0:00:02 > 0:00:03Get ready for some uplifting tricks.

0:00:03 > 0:00:05As quick as a flash things can change!

0:00:05 > 0:00:07So don't be sheepish

0:00:07 > 0:00:09as we plunge right in.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11How is that even possible?

0:00:11 > 0:00:13Welcome to Now You See It.

0:00:13 > 0:00:14Wow!

0:00:27 > 0:00:30Let's start off, as I never do, with a workout at the gym.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36And a ball that magically gets bigger.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38I think someone's going to notice

0:00:38 > 0:00:40when he puts that back on the snooker table!

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Does that count as eating your greens?

0:00:45 > 0:00:48Is that Cristiano Ronaldo?

0:00:49 > 0:00:50Clearly not.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52CRASHING

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Ooh, it's illusionist Darcey Oake on the Megabus.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58Cut out the horseplay - you'll distract the driver.

0:01:02 > 0:01:03What the...

0:01:03 > 0:01:05He's bunked off.

0:01:05 > 0:01:06- What's up?- He's gone!

0:01:06 > 0:01:08- What do you mean, he's gone? - He's gone!

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Yes, I know he's gone, but where's he gone?!

0:01:12 > 0:01:14Ah, great trick, mate.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17Oh, but the lights have turned green. See you later!

0:01:19 > 0:01:22Now, here's a sight that's all too familiar in homes across Britain.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26You ask some friends round to help assemble that Ikea book shelf,

0:01:26 > 0:01:30and then get in a bit of a muddle over the instructions.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32And even more annoyingly for this lot...

0:01:32 > 0:01:33DOORBELL RINGS

0:01:33 > 0:01:35..there's the doorbell!

0:01:35 > 0:01:36That'll be the pizza.

0:01:36 > 0:01:41Hey, I wonder if that works with just one person in a chair.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Here goes. Take it away.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48No, no, it...it doesn't.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54This is one traffic warden you don't want to mess with.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Got to move the car.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01There's a sign right there that says "No standing." You can't be here.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Why should I move now? You just gave me a ticket.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Well, just doing my job, so how about you move that car, huh?

0:02:06 > 0:02:09- I'm not moving.- I'm going to give you some help, all right?

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Oh, that's impressive.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Normally it's the cab that picks up the person!

0:02:22 > 0:02:23They're amazed.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25They've never seen a New York taxi go this long

0:02:25 > 0:02:26without beeping its horn.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32- Bite me.- Yeah?

0:02:32 > 0:02:33- Yeah.- How about this, huh?

0:02:35 > 0:02:39And it was at this point that she remembered she needed a cab home.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Good luck with that!

0:02:41 > 0:02:42Whoo!

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Yeah! Huh!

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Not all magic requires a show of brute force.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Here's Moritz Mueller showing its gentler side.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Great fun, unless you're stuck behind him

0:02:53 > 0:02:55in the queue at the vending machine.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00And I'm loving those fairy lights!

0:03:02 > 0:03:03A trip to the aquarium now,

0:03:03 > 0:03:07and a heavily disguised Cyril Takayama is up to something fishy.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Do you like that one?- The black one? - Yeah, the black one right there.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13- I think it's beautiful. - Let me try this...

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Put that right there like this.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17And just push through...

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Oh! Oh!

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Oh!

0:03:22 > 0:03:25Oh! Oh!

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Oh! Oh!

0:03:28 > 0:03:32They're thinking, "She's got a very hairy hand for an old lady."

0:03:32 > 0:03:37- How did you do that?- You just grab the ring right here...

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Just pull that out right here like this...

0:03:42 > 0:03:46That terrified the goldfish, but on the plus side,

0:03:46 > 0:03:49two seconds later it had forgotten all about it.

0:03:49 > 0:03:50Oh, look at that!

0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Do you like this one?- I love it.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Then this one's going to be the gift for my granddaughter. I love it.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59I think you've got to pay for that.

0:03:59 > 0:04:04Yeah, cos her walking off without paying would be the weirdest thing to happen here!

0:04:05 > 0:04:07You know what I haven't seen enough of?

0:04:07 > 0:04:10Magic tricks with cups of coffee, so let's put that right

0:04:10 > 0:04:13with a section I call Magic Tricks With Cups Of Coffee.

0:04:16 > 0:04:21Justin Flom's in Alaska, enjoying an instant coffee.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28So-called because it vanishes in an instant.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32Turn round, Justin! That view's amazing!

0:04:35 > 0:04:38- I'm Dynamo. What's your name? - Nicassio.- Nicassio?- Yes.- Brian.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40- Brian.- Kareem.- Kareem.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42Sorry, what was that?

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Nicassio, Kareem and...

0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Brian.- Brian.- Brian, yeah, OK. Carry on. Sorry, Dynamo.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Can I try something with you, Kareem?- Absolutely.

0:04:51 > 0:04:55- Just think of someone kind of close to you.- Is it Brian?

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Just visualise them in your mind right now. Look at me.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04This might sound really weird, but...

0:05:05 > 0:05:09I'm kind of getting the name Nicole. I'm getting someone called Nicole.

0:05:10 > 0:05:15- Who's Nicole?- My sister. - Your sister?- Oh, wow!- Good.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Can I take one of these coffees? - Yeah, go for it.- All right.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Can I just take the lid off, actually?

0:05:20 > 0:05:22- Take a sip? Oh, take the lid off. - Take the lid.

0:05:24 > 0:05:25Watch.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Pretty clever, and slightly more personal

0:05:33 > 0:05:36than just writing your name on the side of the cup.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Wow!

0:05:40 > 0:05:41Wow!

0:05:44 > 0:05:46I'll drink to my sister.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50Only in the world of magic would you end up drinking your sister's face.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Back to Justin now for some animal magic.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Specifically, animals joining in with the magic.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04He's picked a card, he's eaten the card.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Don't worry, Justin - you'll get that back in 24 hours.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09A finale I really don't want to see.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Right, so doing magic with camels is a disaster.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15Let's be a bit more sensible...

0:06:15 > 0:06:17and get some sheep to join in instead.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22LAUGHTER

0:06:22 > 0:06:24And the sheep's picked the three of spa-a-ades.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28What about this sheep?

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Yeah, three of spades again.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38Is it just me or are farmers not as busy as they make out?

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Oh, don't try this at home.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42It's not dangerous - you just wouldn't believe the mess

0:06:42 > 0:06:45they can make on your living room carpet.

0:06:45 > 0:06:49Here's the best pet shop salesman ever. Bird in a cage, sir?

0:06:49 > 0:06:53Bird in a party popper, madam? Couple of cages?

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Plain dove. Go on - take a dove. Bird in a cage?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Plain dove. Roast dove.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Bog off. Just...just buy something.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05This show needs a grand finale.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09So we're off to join magician Mat Franco for our big finish.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11He's in Boston,

0:07:11 > 0:07:14where he'll be dumbfounding top American footballer Rob Gronkowski.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18- How're you doing?- This is my trainer, Dana.- What's up, Dana?

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Yeah - sorry to keep interrupting, but can I just hear that name again?

0:07:20 > 0:07:22This is my trainer, Dana.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26He's got a trainer called Dana! Brilliant! Right, back to the trick.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29You play football, I do a little bit of magic,

0:07:29 > 0:07:32but both, you know, precision and accuracy is important for both.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Let's try something. - That's true.- Is that cool?

0:07:34 > 0:07:36You see that cone behind you?

0:07:36 > 0:07:37- Yeah.- I want you to throw the ball

0:07:37 > 0:07:39and just try to get it as close to that cone as you can.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Really?- Yeah.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46- That was good on the first bounce, though.- All right.- Stand together.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Face me. Can I borrow that towel? - Sure.- Thank you.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51- And do you have your phone on you? - Yep.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54Let me steal that from you for a second if I can.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56I'll take it.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00Now, if I were to throw the phone and try to get it as close

0:08:00 > 0:08:02to the cone as possible, would you feel OK with me doing that or not?

0:08:02 > 0:08:05- I'm OK with you throwing his phone. - You're OK with me doing it?

0:08:05 > 0:08:08Trainer Dana's happy for Rob's phone to be thrown at a cone.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11Right.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Let's see how close I can get it.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19Where did my phone go?

0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Dude!- Hold on - stop for a second. Can you call him?

0:08:23 > 0:08:25- I'm calling it. - Do you hear anything?

0:08:25 > 0:08:27- No. - RINGING

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Come this way a little bit.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31RINGING CONTINUES

0:08:31 > 0:08:35This trick doesn't work quite so well when the phone's on silent.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38- I don't see anything.- That's crazy!

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Anyone... Someone have, like, something sharp like a knife?

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Something sharp like a knife, or better still, a knife!

0:08:45 > 0:08:47RATTLING

0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Can I shake it?- Yeah, here.

0:08:50 > 0:08:51Careful.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54- Dude!- Come down here with me.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Ready?- Do what - through the ball?

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Look inside there.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10- You see something in there?- No way!

0:09:10 > 0:09:13- Seriously, no way!- Hold out your hand, actually - just...

0:09:15 > 0:09:16Can you grab it?

0:09:16 > 0:09:17- Reach in there.- Yeah.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20You got it? Check that out.

0:09:20 > 0:09:21Dude!

0:09:21 > 0:09:23Seriously, no way!

0:09:23 > 0:09:26And I got a missed call from you.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Who called you?- He did.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31Dana the trainer phoned you.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Dude, that was, like, impossible!

0:09:33 > 0:09:35- Let me see this football. - Check it out.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37How'd the phone get from there to here?

0:09:37 > 0:09:39For real! How'd you do that?

0:09:39 > 0:09:45Now, saddle up the, er, camel. I'm out of here. Could be a bumpy ride.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47Join us next time on Now You See It.
