0:00:02 > 0:00:04On today's show, cats that magically arise...
0:00:04 > 0:00:06doughnut surprise...
0:00:06 > 0:00:08and incredible office supplies.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Wow! We've got great magic, amazing stunts,
0:00:11 > 0:00:13and earth-shatteringly weird stuff.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Ooh, scary!
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Welcome to Now You See It.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Tinted sunglasses are magic.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34They can turn the grimmest of settings into something
0:00:34 > 0:00:37beautiful and exotic.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Aloha!
0:00:45 > 0:00:47These glasses are even more impressive.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49SHOUTING
0:00:49 > 0:00:52This guy's amazed.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Imagine how excited he'll be
0:00:53 > 0:00:55when he hears about contact lenses.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Stop making a spectacle of yourself!
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Normally, it's catch it, bin it, kill it.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14But magicians tend to go with a more showbiz catch it, bounce it,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16make an elaborate origami swan from it.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Back to this guy, who can do so much more than magic up sunglasses.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24He can do tricks with tissue paper, too.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Though the end results seems to be sunglasses again.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29LAUGHTER
0:01:29 > 0:01:31You could call these optical illusions.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Now, who should a wife turn to when her hubby's hobby's driving her mad?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Marriage guidance counsellor, a close friend or relative?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42No, magician Andrew Mayne, of course!
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Here to stop one husband from spending all his time fishing.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Nothing yet?- Not yet, no.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48I could fix that for you...
0:01:50 > 0:01:52..by bringing the fish to you.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55What?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- How did you do that?- I don't think that's enough.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01I think...
0:02:01 > 0:02:04He's turned the petrol tank into a fish tank.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- No!- I'm bringing the ocean to you
0:02:06 > 0:02:08so you don't have to go fishing any more.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Now I'm getting scared of what's going on!
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Here's the point, Jurgen.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Your wife feels like she's drowning.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Seriously, what is going on to my car right now?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27This chap doesn't know whether to call the AA or the coastguard.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30You have enough fish for a lifetime!
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- How...?- This is what she wanted!
0:02:32 > 0:02:34No, this is not what I wanted.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Let me air it out for you!
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Woo!- And it was at this point that the fishing fan told Andrew that
0:02:41 > 0:02:43that was actually a hire car.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Over to France where the kids attend school on a Saturday.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Presumably, that's where they learn advanced creepy telekinesis skills.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Very continental and thankfully not on the curriculum over here.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05LAUGHTER
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Ah, the joyous sound of nervous laughter from petrified adults.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17HE SPEAKS IN FRENCH
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Everyone's impressed, except the waiter,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21whose tip she's messing with.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Oh, there he is.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Oh, hang on!
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Stop looking at me like that!
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Kids plus magic equals trouble.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33But what about animals?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Let's take a look in today's Animal Magic.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40And he knows how to sit, roll over...
0:03:40 > 0:03:42We're at home with Criss Angel and his kin.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Criss has come up with a novel way of removing unwanted animal hair
0:03:45 > 0:03:48from the furniture.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Come on!
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Look at the cat!
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Come on! - MEOWING
0:03:56 > 0:03:59The cat's thinking, "9 lives and I had to spend one of them with him?"
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Wow!
0:04:02 > 0:04:03- Wow!- Good boy!
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Rick Lax is determined to prove cats love magic almost as much as
0:04:08 > 0:04:11they love dogs, baths and loud noises.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12MEOWING
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Not interested in magic, but love a ball of wool.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Strange creatures, cats.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19MEOWING
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Yeah, pull a rabbit out of that hat,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23then I'll be interested.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24MEOWING
0:04:24 > 0:04:26So, what's the verdict?
0:04:26 > 0:04:27They hate it.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Well, cats may be sceptical about magic,
0:04:31 > 0:04:33but what about man's best friend?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Here's a budding magician with his assistant, Doggy McGee.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Actually, the name's Fudge and he's pretty nonplussed.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42"That collar's far too big for me!"
0:04:42 > 0:04:43But wait...
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Fudge vanishes! Did somebody rattle the biscuit box in the kitchen?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58And Fudge is back!
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Well, the owner seems to think he's in charge,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19but who's really pulling the strings?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Fudge is now the master!
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Now, you'll love this.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Watch and learn.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30This paperclip is made from a top-secret metal alloy
0:05:30 > 0:05:32with very special powers.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37When you bend it into a totally different shape,
0:05:37 > 0:05:39like this representation of Brands Hatch Race Circuit,
0:05:39 > 0:05:43and drop it into hot water, voila!
0:05:44 > 0:05:46It's a paper-clip again!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Top-secret bendy metal alloys!
0:05:48 > 0:05:50You really do learn something new everyday.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54There are lots of things you can do with paperclips.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56But when it comes to stationery products,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59nothing can compete with the versatility of the rubber band.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Sounds like a BBC Four series.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04DRAMATIC MUSIC
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Wow!
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Whoa!
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Have you ever noticed even the smallest of tricks can seem
0:06:12 > 0:06:14a lot bigger with suitably dramatic music?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Actually, that's pretty good.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Let's see if I can copy it.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24You cross the bands on this finger...
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Right, OK. Yep.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Ooh, yeah...oh...erm...
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Finger under there.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Oh, hang on. Where's my thumb?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32That... Underneath?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Oh, it's tight. I'm losing circulation! Yep.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38All I wanted was my own stab of dramatic music!
0:06:38 > 0:06:41DRAMATIC MUSIC
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Oh, thanks.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Rubber band ball to just rubber bands.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Like a rubber band ball, takes four days before he can do it again.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Philip Blue here became so obsessed with rubber band tricks,
0:06:51 > 0:06:54his wife made him leave the house and do them in the car.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Yeah, that was worth it.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06As it goes, rubber bands are pretty simple.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08For more advanced office magic,
0:07:08 > 0:07:12come and join us walking in a printer wonderland.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15HE SPEAKS IN HIS LANGUAGE
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Is this the opposite of 3-D printing?
0:07:19 > 0:07:20When you don't have a printer...
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Oh, you don't need one!
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Interesting place for a button.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32You don't want to know where the batteries are.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Now, here's Richard Osmond getting his head down after recording
0:07:35 > 0:07:37another 400 episodes of Pointless.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I've heard of beauty sleep, but this is ridiculous!
0:08:00 > 0:08:05I don't normally say no to a doughnut, but on this occasion...
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Now, it's time for our big finish.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Ladies and gentlemen, Ed Sheeran!
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Not really.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Actually, it's an amazing escapology stunt
0:08:19 > 0:08:21from the Safronov Brothers in Russia.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I'm going to say it. Even if you have a van, ropes and volunteers,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28DON'T do this one at home.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30They're tied to that post and must escape
0:08:30 > 0:08:31before the red van drops on them.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Simple set up, although utterly insane.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37THEY COUNTDOWN IN RUSSIAN
0:08:40 > 0:08:41One's out.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43And another.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Come on, Ed-a-like!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Oh, dear. Well, I'm really glad this is a trick,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51or now I'd be very worried.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54After all, the suspension on that van is totally done in.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56THEY SPEAK IN RUSSIAN
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Wait, it's Ed!
0:09:06 > 0:09:07He's done it!
0:09:08 > 0:09:11To celebrate, he's going to sing us something!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Yeah!
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Yeah!
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Yeah, it's no Galway Girl.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23That's all for now.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27But we'll be back in a flash for more spellbinding magic
0:09:27 > 0:09:30and extraordinary feats on Now You See It!
