In the world of magic, speed is everything.

0:00:020:00:04

But if you want to make a fast buck, don't lose your head.

0:00:040:00:08

Welcome to Now You See It.

0:00:080:00:10

Ooh, Stephanie Jayne's good at making money.

0:00:240:00:26

All you need is cardboard with a hole cut in it and a 5 bill.

0:00:260:00:29

You shake it.

0:00:290:00:30

And I've heard of taking money out of a hole in the wall.

0:00:300:00:33

Here's Stephanie again with what is possibly

0:00:350:00:38

the world's smallest magazine.

0:00:380:00:40

We should be friends, Stephanie.

0:00:450:00:47

I've got some old chip wrappers with your name on them.

0:00:480:00:50

IN AMERICAN ACCENT: Over now to the Walk of Fame on Hollywood Boulevard.

0:00:500:00:53

I got in there with you.

0:00:530:00:54

Three, good.

0:00:560:00:58

Did you want just the two of you?

0:00:590:01:01

Yes, I bombed your photo.

0:01:020:01:04

You want me to take one of you guys?

0:01:060:01:08

One, two, three.

0:01:080:01:10

Perfect. I got in there with you.

0:01:100:01:12

-I just got in real fast. Took the picture.

-OK.

-Is that cool?

0:01:140:01:18

He's convinced these people that although he's taking the photos,

0:01:180:01:20

he's also in them.

0:01:200:01:22

Perfect. Hope you don't mind, I got in there with you guys.

0:01:220:01:25

Cos I just figured the three of us would look good together.

0:01:270:01:29

Of course, the biggest mystery here is what does off-duty Spider-Man

0:01:290:01:32

keep in his bum bag?

0:01:320:01:33

Got it.

0:01:330:01:34

One, two, three.

0:01:370:01:39

Right before I took the picture, I just ran around.

0:01:410:01:44

One, two, three.

0:01:440:01:46

This guy was obviously cut out to be a magician.

0:01:490:01:52

What do I do when I'm not doing magic tricks?

0:01:570:01:59

Oh, read, watch TV,

0:02:000:02:03

hit a ping pong ball up some stairs

0:02:030:02:05

and into a jar of sweets.

0:02:050:02:06

The usual.

0:02:060:02:07

OK, if you fancy trying your hand at a few tricks,

0:02:120:02:15

here's our Beginner's Guide To Magic.

0:02:150:02:17

This week, levitation.

0:02:170:02:19

When you're starting out, careful preparation is important.

0:02:210:02:24

Millimetres can make the difference between success and failure.

0:02:240:02:27

Choosing the right person from the audience

0:02:300:02:32

to assist you on stage is key.

0:02:320:02:34

Someone who will not only follow your instructions to the letter,

0:02:340:02:37

but can also pull off that tricky jean/blazer combo.

0:02:370:02:40

Breathe deeply - you need to be completely relaxed in order

0:02:450:02:48

to successfully defy the laws of gravity

0:02:480:02:49

and astound your audience with your ability to float in mid-air.

0:02:490:02:53

And most importantly...

0:03:020:03:04

..don't forget levitation is actually impossible

0:03:050:03:08

without some sort of magic prop.

0:03:080:03:10

I'll tell you what actually is possible, though.

0:03:130:03:16

Mind reading. Let's watch Keith Barry do some now.

0:03:160:03:20

Excuse me, can I stop you for two seconds?

0:03:200:03:21

-Yeah.

-I know it's a little bit strange, but very quickly,

0:03:210:03:24

think of a flower. Change your mind to a different flower.

0:03:240:03:28

-Change your mind again.

-All right.

0:03:280:03:30

Keep changing your mind, that's the flower right now.

0:03:300:03:32

-Have you got a flower in mind?

-Yes.

0:03:320:03:34

Go on, say self-raising.

0:03:340:03:36

-An orchid.

-An orchid?

0:03:360:03:37

It's for you, have a nice day.

0:03:400:03:41

-Hydrangea.

-That's an unusual flower.

-SHE LAUGHS

0:03:410:03:44

-Have a good day.

-Thank you.

0:03:460:03:47

-Daisy.

-Really?

0:03:470:03:49

-What?!

-It's for you, thank you.

0:03:510:03:53

Master magician Andrew Mayne is out and about, causing more mischief.

0:03:550:03:59

I'm going to help you secure your bike, so nobody steals it.

0:03:590:04:02

Sound good? We don't need that. We don't need that.

0:04:040:04:06

What you need to do is go grab your back tyre.

0:04:060:04:08

You are going to pick this up, OK.

0:04:080:04:10

Hold on to it.

0:04:100:04:12

Right. Just like that.

0:04:120:04:15

-You're secure.

-What did you just do, bro?

0:04:150:04:18

How am I going to get home?

0:04:190:04:21

Can I be honest, I don't quite trust your bike lock system.

0:04:210:04:25

I don't trust your shampoo, let me show you something.

0:04:250:04:28

Just like that. All right.

0:04:280:04:30

Just boom.

0:04:300:04:31

He's the best bike magician ever,

0:04:320:04:35

at least he is according to his spokes-person.

0:04:350:04:37

Excuse me!

0:04:370:04:39

I want you to have peace of mind tonight to know that your bike's not

0:04:390:04:42

-going to get stolen.

-The whole night?

0:04:420:04:46

Eternity? Sure. Yeah.

0:04:460:04:47

Grab your back tyre.

0:04:470:04:49

Just like that.

0:04:510:04:53

Oh, snap!

0:04:530:04:54

Oh, that's actually pretty good.

0:04:560:04:57

-You know, I'll never be able to get that out.

-That's the idea.

0:04:570:05:00

Thanks.

0:05:010:05:02

-Hey!

-Go on, catch him.

0:05:050:05:07

Oh, if only you had a bike.

0:05:070:05:09

Oh, this sucks.

0:05:090:05:10

Dude... Dude...

0:05:100:05:13

Is he coming back?

0:05:130:05:14

Ah, let's hope Keith Barry pops up and offers her gladioli.

0:05:140:05:18

Now, nothing to see here.

0:05:220:05:24

Just a man nonchalantly carrying a mannequin down the street in Brazil.

0:05:240:05:29

The mannequin loses her head,

0:05:290:05:30

then simply by having some fake workmen walk past

0:05:300:05:33

with a big piece of wood, a fake paving slab and a real woman

0:05:330:05:37

willing to stand in a sewer,

0:05:370:05:39

the illusion is all set.

0:05:390:05:41

Yeah, if I saw a body part on the ground, I'd probably leave it.

0:05:560:05:59

But I'm weird like that.

0:05:590:06:01

Let's just see one more, then we'll knock it on the head.

0:06:020:06:05

Now, Young and Strange -

0:06:130:06:14

not just the phrase that appeared on all my school reports,

0:06:140:06:17

but also the name of this act.

0:06:170:06:19

One day, they hope to perform in Las Vegas,

0:06:190:06:22

but for now, it's Swindon.

0:06:220:06:24

Is he going to disappear into that massive trophy in the shop window?

0:06:300:06:34

Whoa, and he's up there. Brilliant.

0:06:430:06:45

Who could fail to be impressed by that?

0:06:450:06:48

This lady.

0:06:480:06:49

Although, to be fair, he is in her flat.

0:06:490:06:52

Now, we seem to be at a car wash. ACCORDION MUSIC PLAYS

0:06:540:06:57

And by the music, I think I can guess what country we're in.

0:06:570:06:59

That's right, Spain.

0:06:590:07:01

This wizard is just polishing up la voiture before his next magic show.

0:07:050:07:09

He specialises in bird magic.

0:07:110:07:13

But I hear a rumour that the dove wants to quit the act.

0:07:130:07:16

Well, that's one way to hand in your notice.

0:07:220:07:25

Now, it's time for Franz Harary

0:07:400:07:42

to make an actual, real-live plane vanish in

0:07:420:07:45

The Big Finish.

0:07:450:07:47

Let Franz explain.

0:07:470:07:48

In my business, there's an old adage -

0:07:480:07:50

to make something disappear in a puff of smoke.

0:07:500:07:53

I wanted to make a stunt plane disappear in a puff of smoke.

0:07:530:07:56

We had one plane coming directly at me, at about 180mph,

0:07:590:08:04

we have a second plane, which is going to come perpendicular

0:08:040:08:07

and cross in front of me at 200mph.

0:08:070:08:10

Now, we would have to time our illusions such

0:08:100:08:13

that both of these planes would align themselves up perfectly,

0:08:130:08:17

if for some reason, God forbid,

0:08:170:08:19

the illusion should fail,

0:08:190:08:20

the stunt plane would come ploughing into me at over 200mph.

0:08:200:08:25

Now, I don't know about you, but I'm a bit nervous.

0:08:250:08:27

Plus, I haven't understood a word he's saying.

0:08:270:08:30

You are cleared for take-off.

0:08:300:08:33

Fox ground, RB triple nine's here, tango, do you copy?

0:08:330:08:35

John, we're good.

0:08:350:08:36

What's he doing on top of that giant ironing board?

0:08:400:08:43

-Checkpoint one.

-Checkpoint one, looking good, bro.

0:08:470:08:51

-Checkpoint B.

-OVER RADIO:

-'Have a visual on ten.

0:08:510:08:53

-'It looks great from here.'

-C, Mark?

-All looks good from here.

0:08:530:08:57

OVER RADIO: 'Franz, yeah, roger.

0:08:570:08:58

'Mel here, I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. Over.'

0:08:580:09:01

All points checked and clear, give it to me, guys.

0:09:010:09:05

-OVER RADIO:

-'We all look good, Franz. We're waiting for your cue.'

0:09:050:09:08

All right, let's do this.

0:09:080:09:10

OVER RADIO: 'Franz, please don't do this.

0:09:100:09:12

'You'll get knocked over. Over.'

0:09:120:09:14

Go!

0:09:170:09:18

The entire plane's vanished.

0:09:270:09:29

Normally, it's just the luggage.

0:09:290:09:31

That is so cool.

0:09:320:09:34

Join us next time to enjoy more cool magic from around the planet

0:09:340:09:37

as the world's greatest and not so great magicians keep us entertained.

0:09:370:09:42

OVER RADIO: 'Over and out.'
