0:00:01 > 0:00:05Prepare to be amazed by what you see over the next few magical minutes.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09You'll believe a man can walk on air.

0:00:09 > 0:00:14Or catch Ping-Pong balls with a fork! Eh? Welcome to Now You See It.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29Well, I've not seen anyone tidy like this since Mary Poppins.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32WHIZZ

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Just think what he could achieve if he put his phone down.

0:00:34 > 0:00:35Take note, kids.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42Is it a ball? Is it a bird?

0:00:42 > 0:00:43Is it a...

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Oh, yeah. It's a bird.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47The world's largest slingshot.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Now, if you're watching on a small phone, he's right.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51But he's got a normal size basketball.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56THEY CHEER

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Never thought that guy would be a tree-hugger!

0:01:02 > 0:01:04Something tells me they're pretty happy with that.

0:01:04 > 0:01:08No wonder, they've been trying to do it solidly for six weeks.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Time for a change of clothes, guys, come on.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18Alex Ramon has a novel way of making magic even more exciting.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Watch the card very carefully.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22It changes from the four, to the six of diamonds.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24Brilliant!

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Plus, he managed to complete the trick before he smashed into a tree.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31OK! To Holland. Well, I think it's Holland.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Something somewhere is giving it away.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36Ah, look, two Dutch ladies. Double Dutch!

0:01:38 > 0:01:41Oh, those are big holes. Has anyone seen a giant mouse about?

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Importantly, the girls check that this is

0:01:44 > 0:01:45just an ordinary slice of cheese.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48No trapdoors or anything.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50But why? Well, watch this.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54HE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Ooh, the holes are vanishing in that Dutch cheese.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02Or, as the Dutch call it, cheese.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12And the last one.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18You know, as cheese tricks go, that was a Gouda one.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Fancy doing some trickery yourself?

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Well, pay close attention as we open up...

0:02:29 > 0:02:32And, tonight, there's just one simple rule,

0:02:32 > 0:02:33but it's an important one.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37Be very, very careful when choosing your venue.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Sharp-eyed viewers may just spot a fatal mistake.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Magic's all smoke and mirrors,

0:02:47 > 0:02:50but this trick needs a lot more smoke, and a bit less mirror.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Er, we can still see you, I'm afraid.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Oh, great, more rubbish magic.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Oh, no, it's Ping-Pong... or maybe bin-pong.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09Well caught. You do realise humans are non-recyclable.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12Now, we challenge everything that you hold dear about magic,

0:03:12 > 0:03:13as we introduce you to today's...

0:03:18 > 0:03:20It's an enormous chicken.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Oh, the hormones they put in food these days, eh?

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Oh, no, it's actually a Charlie Chaplain lookalike.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33So, let's just see how appealing this fun-filled creature is

0:03:33 > 0:03:34to children.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Oh, dear.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46More insanity here. Has anyone told Network Rail about this?

0:03:46 > 0:03:48DARTH VADER'S MECHANICAL BREATHING

0:03:48 > 0:03:52"You are unwise to raise those defences." Star Wars line.

0:03:52 > 0:03:53Terrible impression.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Here's another man in black who's able to use the force.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02If you feel like your life's going round in circles,

0:04:02 > 0:04:03this hobby isn't the one for you.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07Pretty dazzling, although I'm not sure how it's going to help him

0:04:07 > 0:04:08defeat the Rebel Alliance.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Xavier Mortimer's trying to magic up the perfect

0:04:15 > 0:04:17implement for eating ice cream.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Hmm... A knife. Well, that's no good.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Chopsticks? I don't think so.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Ahh, at last! A spoon!

0:04:43 > 0:04:46But I wouldn't hang about for too much longer, if I were you.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48Too late. Yeah, the ice cream's melted.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Pick any card you like in the deck, and remember it. Ready?

0:04:54 > 0:04:55Now it's either one or two,

0:04:55 > 0:04:58you either went for the front one, five of spades.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02- Actually, no. Mine was the...- If not...- Ooh, three of clubs! Wow!

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Chris Korn's on a date with ex-EastEnder, Samantha Womack, to see

0:05:05 > 0:05:09Agatha Christie's Mouse Trap, while it's on a limited run of 64 years.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15I'm going to show you an interesting way to get two tickets for one.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Yeah, but it's not 2-4-1 Wednesdays, Chris.

0:05:17 > 0:05:18Time to use your magic.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20There you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:05:20 > 0:05:25Now, I'm going to hold my hand here. Slide your hand against mine.

0:05:25 > 0:05:30Slide it against mine. Now, I need you to stay completely still.

0:05:30 > 0:05:31Stay completely still.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Yeah, don't drop the ticket.- OK. - Don't drop it.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Slowly...- Ahh!

0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Can you feel it?- Yeah!- Feel that?

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Great. Or you could just slide it under the door.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58So I can join you at the theatre.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Unfortunately, they do have to sit in the same seat,

0:06:00 > 0:06:02on each other's knees.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Here's Calen Morelli's tip for getting dressed in a hurry.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08I'm going to roll it up and put it into this air cannon.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10That's a pressurised air canister,

0:06:10 > 0:06:13used to fire T-shirts at magician's who've over slept.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15All right, I want you guy's to watch closely.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17All you got to do is watch my chest.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19That's not your chest, Calen. That's your stomach.

0:06:23 > 0:06:28All right, on the count of three. One... Two... Three

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Now, remember, if you're not a magician,

0:06:30 > 0:06:33don't fire any kind of clothing, or anything, at anyone.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39But now, it's time for our big finish.

0:06:39 > 0:06:44Over to DMC, who's risking life and all his limbs in one amazing stunt.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Using just two trucks pulling in opposite directions,

0:06:50 > 0:06:52this wooden pallet will split in two.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54Ta-da!

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Oh, that's not much of a trick.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Oh, hang on. There's more.

0:06:59 > 0:07:03- There's no going back.- How are you feeling right now, Mr DMC?

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Now, the biggest danger I face is my own fear.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08That, and the danger of not looking to your left

0:07:08 > 0:07:11and right, with all these speeding trucks on the road.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for coming.

0:07:17 > 0:07:18So posh.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Please place your fists out, like this. This one goes on here.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Why is he handcuffing his mum?

0:07:25 > 0:07:29Give them a good wrestle. Play with them.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Press something, see if anything gives.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34OK, so what I'm going to do, two ways to get out of these.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38One is with this handcuff key...

0:07:38 > 0:07:41which I'm going to leave with you. That is for you.

0:07:41 > 0:07:42Could you hold on to that?

0:07:42 > 0:07:48And the other is this bobby pin, which I will use to pick the lock.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Apparently you can't take part in this trick if you've got any hair.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58DMC needs to pick the lock on those handcuffs,

0:07:58 > 0:08:02then slip out the ropes before the trucks go past and pull his arms off.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04So, just another Wednesday, really.

0:08:07 > 0:08:08Now, even if you too are well-dressed

0:08:08 > 0:08:09and well-brought up,

0:08:09 > 0:08:12please leave tricks like this to the professionals.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18Now it's just him, his mum, the crowd, the trucks

0:08:18 > 0:08:21and just out of shot, a 30-piece orchestra making that music.

0:08:26 > 0:08:31And...three...two...one... Action!

0:08:36 > 0:08:38HE GRUNTS

0:08:38 > 0:08:40I think that helicopter is so they can look for his arms

0:08:40 > 0:08:42if the trick goes wrong.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49HE YELLS

0:08:49 > 0:08:51You've got to get it off, get it off, get it off!

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Get it off!

0:08:54 > 0:08:55No, no, no!

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Ooh, his glands are up.

0:09:10 > 0:09:14Obviously, it goes without saying, don't try this at home.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16It does work better on a deserted runway.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18No, look out. They're coming back!

0:09:18 > 0:09:22That's all for now, but join me next time for more spellbinding magic

0:09:22 > 0:09:24and extraordinary feats

0:09:24 > 0:09:26on Now You See It.
