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