0:00:02 > 0:00:04In the world of magic, speed is everything.
0:00:04 > 0:00:08But if you want to make a fast buck, don't lose your head.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Welcome to Now You See It.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Ooh, Stephanie Jayne's good at making money.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29All you need is cardboard with a hole cut in it and a 5 bill.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30You shake it.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33And I've heard of taking money out of a hole in the wall.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Here's Stephanie again with what is possibly
0:00:38 > 0:00:40the world's smallest magazine.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47We should be friends, Stephanie.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50I've got some old chip wrappers with your name on them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53IN AMERICAN ACCENT: Over now to the Walk of Fame on Hollywood Boulevard.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54I got in there with you.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Three, good.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Did you want just the two of you?
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Yes, I bombed your photo.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08You want me to take one of you guys?
0:01:08 > 0:01:10One, two, three.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Perfect. I got in there with you.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- I just got in real fast. Took the picture.- OK.- Is that cool?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20He's convinced these people that although he's taking the photos,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22he's also in them.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Perfect. Hope you don't mind, I got in there with you guys.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Cos I just figured the three of us would look good together.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Of course, the biggest mystery here is what does off-duty Spider-Man
0:01:32 > 0:01:33keep in his bum bag?
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Got it.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39One, two, three.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Right before I took the picture, I just ran around.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46One, two, three.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52This guy was obviously cut out to be a magician.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59What do I do when I'm not doing magic tricks?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Oh, read, watch TV,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05hit a ping pong ball up some stairs
0:02:05 > 0:02:06and into a jar of sweets.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07The usual.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15OK, if you fancy trying your hand at a few tricks,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17here's our Beginner's Guide To Magic.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19This week, levitation.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24When you're starting out, careful preparation is important.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Millimetres can make the difference between success and failure.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Choosing the right person from the audience
0:02:32 > 0:02:34to assist you on stage is key.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Someone who will not only follow your instructions to the letter,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40but can also pull off that tricky jean/blazer combo.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Breathe deeply - you need to be completely relaxed in order
0:02:48 > 0:02:49to successfully defy the laws of gravity
0:02:49 > 0:02:53and astound your audience with your ability to float in mid-air.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04And most importantly...
0:03:05 > 0:03:08..don't forget levitation is actually impossible
0:03:08 > 0:03:10without some sort of magic prop.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I'll tell you what actually is possible, though.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Mind reading. Let's watch Keith Barry do some now.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Excuse me, can I stop you for two seconds?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Yeah.- I know it's a little bit strange, but very quickly,
0:03:24 > 0:03:28think of a flower. Change your mind to a different flower.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Change your mind again.- All right.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Keep changing your mind, that's the flower right now.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- Have you got a flower in mind?- Yes.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Go on, say self-raising.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37- An orchid.- An orchid?
0:03:40 > 0:03:41It's for you, have a nice day.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Hydrangea.- That's an unusual flower. - SHE LAUGHS
0:03:46 > 0:03:47- Have a good day.- Thank you.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Daisy.- Really?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- What?!- It's for you, thank you.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Master magician Andrew Mayne is out and about, causing more mischief.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I'm going to help you secure your bike, so nobody steals it.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Sound good? We don't need that. We don't need that.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08What you need to do is go grab your back tyre.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10You are going to pick this up, OK.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Hold on to it.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Right. Just like that.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- You're secure.- What did you just do, bro?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21How am I going to get home?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Can I be honest, I don't quite trust your bike lock system.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I don't trust your shampoo, let me show you something.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Just like that. All right.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Just boom.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35He's the best bike magician ever,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37at least he is according to his spokes-person.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Excuse me!
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I want you to have peace of mind tonight to know that your bike's not
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- going to get stolen. - The whole night?
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Eternity? Sure. Yeah.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Grab your back tyre.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Just like that.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Oh, snap!
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Oh, that's actually pretty good.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- You know, I'll never be able to get that out.- That's the idea.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Thanks.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- Hey!- Go on, catch him.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Oh, if only you had a bike.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Oh, this sucks.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Dude... Dude...
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Is he coming back?
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Ah, let's hope Keith Barry pops up and offers her gladioli.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Now, nothing to see here.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29Just a man nonchalantly carrying a mannequin down the street in Brazil.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30The mannequin loses her head,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33then simply by having some fake workmen walk past
0:05:33 > 0:05:37with a big piece of wood, a fake paving slab and a real woman
0:05:37 > 0:05:39willing to stand in a sewer,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41the illusion is all set.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Yeah, if I saw a body part on the ground, I'd probably leave it.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01But I'm weird like that.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Let's just see one more, then we'll knock it on the head.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14Now, Young and Strange -
0:06:14 > 0:06:17not just the phrase that appeared on all my school reports,
0:06:17 > 0:06:19but also the name of this act.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22One day, they hope to perform in Las Vegas,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24but for now, it's Swindon.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Is he going to disappear into that massive trophy in the shop window?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Whoa, and he's up there. Brilliant.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Who could fail to be impressed by that?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49This lady.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Although, to be fair, he is in her flat.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Now, we seem to be at a car wash. ACCORDION MUSIC PLAYS
0:06:57 > 0:06:59And by the music, I think I can guess what country we're in.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01That's right, Spain.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09This wizard is just polishing up la voiture before his next magic show.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13He specialises in bird magic.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16But I hear a rumour that the dove wants to quit the act.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Well, that's one way to hand in your notice.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Now, it's time for Franz Harary
0:07:42 > 0:07:45to make an actual, real-live plane vanish in
0:07:45 > 0:07:47The Big Finish.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Let Franz explain.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50In my business, there's an old adage -
0:07:50 > 0:07:53to make something disappear in a puff of smoke.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I wanted to make a stunt plane disappear in a puff of smoke.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04We had one plane coming directly at me, at about 180mph,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07we have a second plane, which is going to come perpendicular
0:08:07 > 0:08:10and cross in front of me at 200mph.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Now, we would have to time our illusions such
0:08:13 > 0:08:17that both of these planes would align themselves up perfectly,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19if for some reason, God forbid,
0:08:19 > 0:08:20the illusion should fail,
0:08:20 > 0:08:25the stunt plane would come ploughing into me at over 200mph.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Now, I don't know about you, but I'm a bit nervous.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Plus, I haven't understood a word he's saying.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33You are cleared for take-off.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Fox ground, RB triple nine's here, tango, do you copy?
0:08:35 > 0:08:36John, we're good.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43What's he doing on top of that giant ironing board?
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- Checkpoint one.- Checkpoint one, looking good, bro.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- Checkpoint B. - OVER RADIO:- 'Have a visual on ten.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- 'It looks great from here.' - C, Mark?- All looks good from here.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58OVER RADIO: 'Franz, yeah, roger.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01'Mel here, I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. Over.'
0:09:01 > 0:09:05All points checked and clear, give it to me, guys.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- OVER RADIO:- 'We all look good, Franz. We're waiting for your cue.'
0:09:08 > 0:09:10All right, let's do this.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12OVER RADIO: 'Franz, please don't do this.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14'You'll get knocked over. Over.'
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Go!
0:09:27 > 0:09:29The entire plane's vanished.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Normally, it's just the luggage.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34That is so cool.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Join us next time to enjoy more cool magic from around the planet
0:09:37 > 0:09:42as the world's greatest and not so great magicians keep us entertained.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44OVER RADIO: 'Over and out.'
