0:00:02 > 0:00:04Magic comes in many colours. We've got a blue elephant,
0:00:04 > 0:00:06red dresses
0:00:06 > 0:00:07and a green suit.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09No, sorry - red again.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Welcome to Now You See It, where everyone loves magic.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14I don't know.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15OK, not everyone.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Let's start with a magician so tight-fisted,
0:00:32 > 0:00:34he's actually vaporised that coin.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39This is how I double my money.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Can't wait.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Might be illegal.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Here's the magician who's like the opposite of a cashpoint.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Meanwhile, top American prankster Michael Carbonara
0:00:53 > 0:00:55is inside both a posh art gallery
0:00:55 > 0:00:57and a pretentious black polo neck.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00See which...
0:01:00 > 0:01:03I'm trying to remember which way. I always get confused which way...
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- To hang it?- ..to hang them. You know, unless they mark it.- Yeah.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07But I love this guy's work.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09It kind of creates almost a sort of...vertigo.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- And it really allows you to think about it.- Yeah.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Here, I'm going to flip this up this way.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Oh, it says "top" right there.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23And there IS a wire on it already so that should be good, yes.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27I'll put it right here, and you tell me if it's straight.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Have you spotted his top?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Hee-hee!
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Sometimes standing back is the easier way to see if it looks...
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- Yes... Oh, sorry. - Let's see.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38All the colour's gone...
0:01:38 > 0:01:39from her face.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44It's funny, when I stand so close to it, I get, like...
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- I get like a dizzy thing going on. - Yeah.- You know?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49When you put it up, it just so completely changed that it just...
0:01:49 > 0:01:50I don't know.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52I always feel changed, looking at this guy.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- OK, you want to hang right here? I'll be right back.- OK.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Yes, hang right there.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Possibly next to the blank canvas that's really freaking you out.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01She's utterly baffled.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Can you spot the difference?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06She can't.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Hmm... The eyes really do follow you about the room, don't they?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Let's slow it down now for some Animal Magic.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16And there's nothing like a bit of magic
0:02:16 > 0:02:17to bring you out of your shell.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Yeah, the tortoise is thinking,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31"Take that money and go and get me some lettuce."
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Did you know they're the longest living land animals in the world,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42and even they don't have time for this trick?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Never has a tortoise looked forward to hibernation so much.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53After all that excitement, it's time to sit down,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55take a deep breath and open your mind,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57as we're at that point in the show when I exclaim,
0:02:57 > 0:02:59"Blimey, you don't see that every day."
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Here's something you certainly don't see every day,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06unless you're suffering from fever-induced hallucinations.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Or you're watching an unhealthy amount of Japanese television.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12HE PANTS
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Oh, it's actually a costume!
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I know what I'll be dressing up as for Halloween!
0:03:18 > 0:03:19HE SPEAKS JAPANESE
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Yes, he's undressing slowly and sweating heavily...
0:03:28 > 0:03:29which is a bit weird.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32But it's nothing compared to what happens next.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Like I've always said, inside every magician,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02there is a small Japanese girl trying to get out.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Time now to join Ben Hart In A Hurry
0:04:13 > 0:04:16He's on the sun-drenched streets of Glasgow,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19wearing a red suit and striding up to a pedestrian crossing.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29But can Ben change quicker than the lights?
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Red man...
0:04:30 > 0:04:32green man! Wow!
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Oh, yeah, it's the small victories in life.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Let's have another go. Come on.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Red...
0:04:47 > 0:04:49green!
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I dread to think what he does when the green man starts flashing.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57You can see those tourists thinking,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00"Are we supposed to do that when we cross the road?"
0:05:00 > 0:05:03I'd love to see this done at a pelican crossing -
0:05:03 > 0:05:06where Ben quickly changes from a handsome young magician
0:05:06 > 0:05:09into a fish-eating bird with a large bill and distensible pouch.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Now, let's see how that trick might be done
0:05:12 > 0:05:14if the whole street joined in.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17And it's also the perfect solution for that awkward moment
0:05:17 > 0:05:20when everyone turns up to a party wearing the same dress.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24No, hang on.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25We're back to square one now.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Before changing rooms where invented,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36this is how all women tried on clothes.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Yeah, I'd be at the back with a jammed zip
0:05:50 > 0:05:51and a dress stuck over my head.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04It's just as well that dress was in the sales.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Buy one, get 11 free.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Here's a magical sight.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13It's the king of the jungle.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Oh, hang on - if that's a lion, I'm a monkey's uncle.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18I know it sounds kind of crazy,
0:06:18 > 0:06:20but have you seen a lion running around?
0:06:20 > 0:06:21- No.- A lion?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23I was training a one-year-old lion.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24No.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Were you training a one-year-old lion?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Or was it a Labrador in a snood?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Oh, no, no, no!- Oh!
0:06:33 > 0:06:35SCREAMING
0:06:40 > 0:06:43I have to say, I actually think this illusion is very convincing.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Just close one eye...
0:06:45 > 0:06:46and then the other eye.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47LAUGHTER
0:06:51 > 0:06:53It just goes to show, you don't need to
0:06:53 > 0:06:56be a master magician to fool people.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Off he goes, to find his pride.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00And what's left of his dignity.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Now we've arrived at a section I'm calling Choptricks.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Don't judge me.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Justin Flom is feeling peckish,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13but he doesn't know how to use chopsticks.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20This trick could only be improved
0:07:20 > 0:07:23if a small Japanese girl clambered out of his chest.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Yeah, that's great, Justin,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29but I'm not sure how it helps with the soup.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32It's time to join US superstar Criss Angel for our big finish.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Let's do this.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Let's bring her up.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39His tricks are always simplicity itself.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44If you want to try this at home, all you'll need is a helicopter,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47a supercar, a cage, a huge ramp
0:07:47 > 0:07:49and a massive canyon.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52That seems like a lot of effort, so alternatively
0:07:52 > 0:07:53just don't, OK?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58What he's going to do is drive the supercar off the huge ramp
0:07:58 > 0:08:00towards the massive canyon.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05And then magically transport himself into the cage
0:08:05 > 0:08:07dangling under the helicopter.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Obviously.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13The helicopter's getting in position.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14If it goes wrong,
0:08:14 > 0:08:16he can always use his bandanna as an emergency parachute.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Er, Criss, don't you think that cage is a bit small to park your car in?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33The helicopter's bird cage is in position.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Not something I say very often.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39I want you to see that this is me.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41It's not a double, it's not a twin.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43There is only one of me.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Helicopter's in place.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Glenn, I'm set.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Criss, it's very windy up here.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57I'm trying to keep it as steady as I can.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Cool. I want you to go.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I want you to go, Michael. Get a continuous shot.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06What are you waiting for, Michael? Go, go!
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Criss, we're all set up here.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Ready when you are.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Let's do this.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16Three...
0:09:16 > 0:09:17two...
0:09:17 > 0:09:18one...
0:09:18 > 0:09:19go!
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Whoa! That wasn't in the plan.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28And he's in the cage.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30But he's not making a big deal out of it.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Yeah!
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Yeah! Yeah!
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Right there, baby!
0:09:35 > 0:09:39That's great, Criss, but where did the supercar go?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41The guys at the car hire place are not going to be pleased.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Join us next time on Now You See It
0:09:46 > 0:09:49for more explosive conjuring and confusion.
