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