0:00:38 > 0:00:40They must decide what to buy...
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Which trick draws the biggest crowd?

0:00:45 > 0:00:47..negotiate the lowest price.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48What would you say at 20p?
0:00:48 > 0:00:51I'd say absolutely no.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52And then sell, sell, sell.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54HORN SOUNDS

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Please buy.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Trade Your Way To The USA is back and is tougher than ever.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Today, some of Britain's best young traders will be tested to the max.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Let's meet the two teams who dared take our challenge.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46It's DNA versus ARD.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Meet Subrina,
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Joy
0:01:53 > 0:01:55and Solace.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01A group of best friends from south London known as DNA.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05DNA stands for dreams and aspirations.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07We could win this because we're persuasive.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08We're confident.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09And we're determined.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12These girls know the tricks of how to trade.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15We bought multipack crisps and chocolates
0:02:15 > 0:02:17and sold them individually at school.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18We made a pretty sweet profit.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21And loads of crisp notes.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Joy always shoots to win.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31I bring to the group my leadership skills and my passion for trading.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36Budding fashion designer Subrina has the artistic flair.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38My role in the team is to be the creative one
0:02:38 > 0:02:40because I think outside of the box.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46And Solace is in charge of those all-important numbers.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48I've got more sums than Pythagoras
0:02:48 > 0:02:51and it looks like it's adding up to victory for DNA.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58ALL: We are DNA and we're going to trade our way to the USA.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05Aidan, Ritvik and Dylan are school friends from Derby.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08This shop is named after me.
0:03:08 > 0:03:1113-year-old Dylan has learnt everything he knows about business
0:03:11 > 0:03:13working in the family shop.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16We're going to win this challenge through sales.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I'm the salesman and we have to sell, sell, sell.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Aidan's creative talent earns him big bucks.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27I buy these models for about £1 each and once I've finished painting them
0:03:27 > 0:03:30they're about £20 each, which is a great profit.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35And maths brain Ritvik reckons he's got the right moves.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39My biggest strength has to be my negotiation skills.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42With all our skills combined
0:03:42 > 0:03:44we're going to be a really hard team to beat.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Sell ice to Greenland.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Sand to Arabia.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Sheep to New Zealand.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51ALL: So watch out because we're hungry for success.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56So it's the London lasses, DNA,
0:03:56 > 0:04:01going head-to-head with the Derbyshire dealers, ARD.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04But which team will make the most money in today's challenge?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Because only they still stand a chance
0:04:06 > 0:04:09of trading their way to the USA.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17The teams have arrived in York
0:04:17 > 0:04:21with no idea what their trading challenge will be.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23What they do know is they must win
0:04:23 > 0:04:26if they want to compete in our USA grand final.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28TRAIN WHISTLES
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Welcome to the National Railway Museum in York.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48This week is Wizard Week,
0:04:48 > 0:04:52a special event attracting wannabe witches and wizards.
0:04:52 > 0:04:574,000 people are expected through those doors and they'll be looking
0:04:57 > 0:05:02to spend their money on products to boost their wizard credentials.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Your challenge is to sell practical jokes and magic tricks.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Yes!
0:05:09 > 0:05:13You'll get to choose which tricks and jokes to buy.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18You must negotiate the lowest prices and then sell, sell, sell.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25It's simple. The team that makes the most money wins the challenge.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Here are your trading funds.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31I've given you each £75 to trade with.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38DNA, ARD, are you ready?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40ALL: Yes!
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Let's get buying.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49The competition is on.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54The teams have come to Scarborough to meet our magical expert.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58They each have a £75 trading fund and they must buy wisely
0:05:58 > 0:06:00if they want to win.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04The first rule of buying is to really understand the product
0:06:04 > 0:06:08that you're selling and my top tip to you is this.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Use your listening and observation skills in this task.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Here are your notebooks.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Are you ready?
0:06:15 > 0:06:16ALL: Yes!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Let's go.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Miles has 15 years' experience dealing in magical goods.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27If anyone knows the tricks of the trade, it's Miles.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31So with just 15 minutes to quiz him, every question counts.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34What target market do you think your products are based at?
0:06:34 > 0:06:39Well, the Wizard Week you're going to is attracted to kids
0:06:39 > 0:06:42so the things I've got here are things kids can buy and kids can do.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Well done, Joy. In business you need to know who you're selling to
0:06:46 > 0:06:48so you can choose the right products.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- What's your cheapest bestseller? - The deck of cards.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55I'm going to flick through the cards. I want you to shout stop, OK?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- You ready? Say stop. - Stop.- Happy there?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02You take that card there. Take it out of my hands, show your friends.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Have you looked at it? Put it in the deck now.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I've put a copy of your card somewhere in this shop.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10If you all look up.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Is that your card up there?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- Oh!- That is your card up there. It really is magic.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Here's another really nice one.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21If you take that, pick a colour, put it into the box.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Put it to me so I can't see it,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26and what I'll do, I'll try and read your mind.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- OK? The colour that you chose is the colour... Orange.- Wow.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34It's a really high impact trick, it's also a really good price.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Miles is performing so well,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38he's telling them all the tricks of the trade.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42This is where they need to be writing a lot down.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Which trick draws the biggest crowd?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45This one.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Boo!
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Oh!- That's a nice item and people will want to buy that.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52What tactics do you use to promote your products?
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Magic does not sell if you just sit there and do nothing.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58You need to demo it.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01You need to do it over and over and over again.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04That's how you promote it is by doing it.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05That is a key bit of advice.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Demonstrating these products is the way to get sales.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12All right, teams, your time for questioning is up,
0:08:12 > 0:08:14thank you very much, Miles.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16It's now time to choose your products. Are you ready?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- ALL: Yes. - Let's go.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Right, boys, is there anything you need help with?
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Could you show us how this works?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29This is a dice, a lid and a box.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32All I've done is I've put the lid on its side behind my back.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33ALL: Oh!
0:08:33 > 0:08:35It's really good.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Could you show us the deck of cards?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40This has to be one of the easiest card tricks in the world.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Every other card is the nine of hearts.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- In between it.- Yes. - ALL: Oh.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46OK.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49If I was doing this challenge I would copy everything that
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Miles does from his performance, storytelling and magic tricks.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56At the end of the day he's the expert
0:08:56 > 0:08:59and he's found success in this business. Why change it?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Well, I think we should get the chopping hand thing.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06And it does look gross.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07But there's no point us buying it
0:09:07 > 0:09:10if we don't know how to show the magic tricks to the audience.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11I know how to do it.
0:09:11 > 0:09:17So DNA, what is your strategy for choosing the products?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Buying stuff that we feel comfortable with presenting
0:09:19 > 0:09:23because if we can't present it then no-one will really buy it.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26'Spot on, Solace. Demonstrations get sales.'
0:09:26 > 0:09:30What is your strategy in the negotiation?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32To get the lowest price and more products.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35What have ARD decided on?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38The dice in the box is a good trick.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39And it helps us interact.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42What's your strategy in the negotiation?
0:09:42 > 0:09:47I think if we buy some items in bulk we can get a reduction.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52In business bulk buying is a great way to bring down the price.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54It sounds like you know what you're going to do.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I'll see you later in the negotiation.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04DNA hope to make the most money by choosing those products
0:10:04 > 0:10:06they're happy to demonstrate.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11ARD reckon they'll bring in the cash by buying in bulk, but which team
0:10:11 > 0:10:16will use the tricks of the trade to negotiate the lowest prices?
0:10:20 > 0:10:24With their magic tricks chosen, it's time to negotiate.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28To win the challenge they must get great deals.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29First, ARD.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34Their strategy is to buy in bulk so can maths brain Ritvik
0:10:34 > 0:10:37use his negotiation skills to work some magic?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41So what's the wholesale price for the coloured dice?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43£1.99.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45We're going to buy about ten.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47So that's about £20,
0:10:47 > 0:10:52but I'm wondering if you're able to negotiate for 13?
0:10:52 > 0:10:56That's far too low. I think you're severely under-buying them.
0:10:56 > 0:11:02If you buy 15 I'll knock the cost price down to £1.50 a unit.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05So that's £22.50. Can you make it £20?
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Take it or leave it.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Buy.- Yeah.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12OK.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14They didn't quite get the price they wanted,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17but they did get over £7 discount.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19It's a great start.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24The card pack, what's your wholesale price on that?
0:11:24 > 0:11:25£1.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30If we buy 15, that's 75.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Would you lower the total price? £11?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I'll be honest, it's a really good trick.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Telling the supplier that you really like their product
0:11:40 > 0:11:42is a lovely way to get a better price.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47We're not, like, cheating you. I mean, that's a pretty good price.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Ritvik is confident, persistent and assertive,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53fantastic skills for negotiation.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55OK.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57The wands, how much do you sell these for?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59They're 75p.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02I've only got five.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Fine, would you do £3?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Yeah, OK.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10So how much are you selling wholesale price for the guillotine?
0:12:10 > 0:12:11The guillotines are £6 each.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Can you do 40 for ten?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I can do three for £15.
0:12:16 > 0:12:1814? Just that little bit lower, just for us,
0:12:18 > 0:12:21because we'll be showcasing your product anyway
0:12:21 > 0:12:23so you might as well, it's free advertising as well.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26We're showcasing your products. Yeah?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Go on then.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Right, that's £75, please. - Yeah.
0:12:32 > 0:12:38Ritvik's cheeky negotiation tactics have got ARD some great deals.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Next it's team DNA.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43What is the wholesale price for your hand chopper?
0:12:43 > 0:12:44£6.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47How about we go to three?
0:12:47 > 0:12:52Wow, going in for a 50 per cent discount, that takes some courage.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- No. - Give us a magical price.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Here's a magical price. £6.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Will you go down to four?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- £5 each. - OK, £5 then.
0:13:03 > 0:13:10Thank you. The deck of cards, you want 30 of them for £15.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14That should be £30 of stock and you want it for...
0:13:14 > 0:13:1515.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18That's not going to happen.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Seventeen of them for £15.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- Yes, I'll do that. - Thank you.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26What's your price for the ink?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Disappearing ink is a bargain 70p.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Could we play 50p for them?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- It depends on how many you want. - Ten.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36OK, I'll let you have ten at 50p each.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Along with wands, money box tricks
0:13:38 > 0:13:41and magic sweets, their cash is almost gone.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Time to seal the deal.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48OK we'll be taking a deck of cards, 15 of them for £17.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51The other way round.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Sorry, 17 of them for £15, ten money box for £6 each... Sorry.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57What... The money box was £9.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01I don't think you know what you're ordering.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05I'm really surprised at the girls because they started off so well.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09But under pressure, they're losing their confidence.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11You've got another £1.50 to spend.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Then we'll have one more sweets.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- One more sweet. - That's it.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Right girls, I think that's £75.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27Team DNA spent £45 on guillotines and card tricks.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30They reckon their demonstrations will make them
0:14:30 > 0:14:33their two bestsellers. Let's hope so.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37They also bought sweets, wands, money boxes and disappearing ink.
0:14:38 > 0:14:44Team ARD spent £36.50 on what they hope will be their best sellers -
0:14:44 > 0:14:47the dice tricks and the guillotines.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52They also invested in sweets, wands, 10p key tricks and card tricks.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Now it is down to their performance in the big sell.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58But which team will pull the rabbit out of the hat?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00And which team is for the chop?
0:15:12 > 0:15:18Today the competition hots up as DNA and ARD go head to head.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Both are desperate to win
0:15:20 > 0:15:23and get one step closer to our USA grand final
0:15:23 > 0:15:27because the team that makes the most money today will still
0:15:27 > 0:15:32be in with the chance of becoming Britain's best young traders.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34WHISTLE BLOWS
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Good morning, ARD. Good morning, DNA.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Welcome to Wizard Week at the National Railway Museum.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Your challenge is to sell practical jokes
0:15:46 > 0:15:50and magic tricks to the 4,000 visitors expected here today.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53You have two hours to sell your products.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Are you ready?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56ALL: Yes!
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Let's set up.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- Quickly! - You have to sort it out first!
0:16:00 > 0:16:06The teams get out their tricks, ready for the arriving visitors.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Every sale gets one team one step closer to the USA.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- The bigger products at the back or the front?- Um, at back.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Ritvik has a cheeky plan to beat the girls.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20I'm going to put a sign that says, "Cheaper than the other team."
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Just to wind them up.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I like your style! So what are the boys prices?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29The dice trick is £6.99.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32The sweets are £2 each.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34The wands are £2.25.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37The guillotine is going to be at £10.99.
0:16:37 > 0:16:44They paid £4.66 each which will give them over £6 profit.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47So, are the boys products cheaper than the girls?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- Guillotine?- Those are £20.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52OK. Wow!
0:16:52 > 0:16:55That's almost double the boys.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58DNA could make £15 profit on each one.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01But if they do not sell it could cost them a place in the final.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- The wands are £3.50. - And what about the invisible ink?
0:17:05 > 0:17:10- £6.- Are you worried about the competition?- No!
0:17:10 > 0:17:13All right. Listen, good luck. I'll see you later.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16With their store set and the visitors arriving,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19it's time for this battle to begin.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- Teams, are you ready?- Yes!
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Three, two, one,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- start selling! - HORN HONKS
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- Cards!- Magic cards!
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Magic wands?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44This is going to be a very exciting challenge.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48The girls have priced their products double that of the boys.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51So will it be price or volume that wins this challenge?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Wow, you two look awesome today.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Cheeky salesman Ritvik
0:17:55 > 0:17:58starts working his magic on the wannabe wizards.
0:17:58 > 0:18:04These sweets make your whole mouth go blue. These are only £2 each.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- There you go.- Thank you.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12- Fully clear your mind, OK?- OK. - I am going to know your colour.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13OK.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17It's in there, I know, I can feel it. OK, is it red?
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Yes.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Ritvik has just performed a textbook sale.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24He demonstrated, he was a showman.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27He kept the intensity and the curiosity.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30They are only £6.99. It's cheaper than that stall there.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Then he got a sale.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Absolutely fantastic. Well done.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36That went well.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41We have made a profit of somewhere around £30,
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- which isn't bad for straight away. - Go on.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45How are the girls doing?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47They've decided to divide and conquer.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- Subrina sells at the stall... - We have disappearing ink.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53£6, that's a bit much, isn't it?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56While Solace and Joy go out to find customers.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Magic wands, only £3.50!
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Have a magical time! Thank you.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07These turn your mouth blue to match your T-shirt. Thank you.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Magic wands have been on fire.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16We've sold many of the magic wands. The sweets are selling well.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Their pocket money priced tricks are selling well,
0:19:19 > 0:19:22but can they shift their most expensive product...
0:19:22 > 0:19:25One, two, three!
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- ..the £20 guillotine? - Would you like one?
0:19:29 > 0:19:30No, not at that price.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33In business, you have to become a real expert
0:19:33 > 0:19:36at reading your customer's body language.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39If you give them a price and they go like this...
0:19:39 > 0:19:41it's time to reduce your pricing.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44They love the guillotine and they only had £10 to spend
0:19:44 > 0:19:48and the guillotine was 20. Too much.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I've got it.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Over 30 minutes in and Ritvik's dice trick is drawing a crowd.
0:19:56 > 0:20:02- But what are his teammates doing? - They're not doing anything!
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Maybe it's time they move and get a customer or something.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10This is a tough task, but the only way to get sales
0:20:10 > 0:20:15is to demonstrate an Ritvik can't do it all on his own. Time to step in.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17I don't see activity here.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I'm testing different things, but I'm going out
0:20:20 > 0:20:23to sell this cos I've mastered it and I'm really good.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25OK. Do it on me then.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28An ordinary deck of cards, look. Yeah?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31But I can make them disappear.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34And...gone.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Aidan, you need to work on your showmanship little bit more.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43And, Dylan, this is a real safety net to you.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46You need to walk at the front
0:20:46 > 0:20:50and start bringing in the crowds. Good luck.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52The girls' strategy is to sell products
0:20:52 > 0:20:54they know how to demonstrate,
0:20:54 > 0:20:59but over 45 minutes into selling, they're struggling to master them.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03I want you to tell me when to stop, yeah?
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Blurgh! Why do I have so many of these?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09It's gone all wrong.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15To get those sales, Joy needs to do her homework.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I'm trying to figure out how these card tricks work
0:21:18 > 0:21:21so we can show it to the public.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Right, I've got them. Solace.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Only an hour left.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29The boys have teamed up to shift their most expensive product -
0:21:29 > 0:21:32the £10.99 guillotine.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- That's more like it. - It's a really good trick.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38So how do you do then?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- We'll tell you if you buy the product.- All right then.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Thank you, sir. Lovely. 10.99.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46We need to really push it.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50If we want to secure that place to America, we need to really focus.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Both teams must get sales to win,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56so have the girls mastered that card trick?
0:22:00 > 0:22:04My lovely assistant knows your card and has it on her.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Would you like to check my fraud?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Is it the same card?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Would you like your own cards?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14That's £3.50 for the girls.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16At the beginning of the day,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19DNA didn't have a handle on their tricks,
0:22:19 > 0:22:22but with practise, they're leaving customers spellbound.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27- One...- But they still have six guillotines to sell...- Stop!
0:22:27 > 0:22:30..which the boys are selling at 10.99.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Wouldn't you like one of these? - How much are they?
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Oh... £17.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Brilliant selling. That made them a whopping £12 profit.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- That was good.- You could've pushed it for the 20.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47No, but, you know. if we said 20, look at her face.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Well done, Joy.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52She read the customer's body language to get the sale.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54DNA, you have got less than ten minutes left.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56What is your strategy now?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Reduce our prices.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02This is going to be a fight to the finish.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Hand chopper £10 on sale.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Vanishing ink £2.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07There you are, darling.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10One, two... Ooh!
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Only 7.99. It's below half price, sir.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15We'll do £7 for you, sir.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20- Go on.- Thank you, sir. It's great doing business with you.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24They can perform six different tricks and they're just £1 each.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- There you go.- Thank you.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Just run!
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Eight...seven...
0:23:32 > 0:23:34six...
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- £6, sir.- £3.60, that's all I've got.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40..two...one. Stop trading.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42KLAXON SOUNDS
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Oh, my God!
0:23:47 > 0:23:51DNA, can I have your cash box? Good luck.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- ARD, can I have your cash box? Good luck.- Thanks.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57We've done enough because we worked as a team
0:23:57 > 0:23:59and used our persuasive techniques.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02A lot of notes were going into the pan.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Like, £20 notes, £5 notes, £10 notes.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Ah, it's a lot!
0:24:07 > 0:24:10I want to win this so much. It would mean so much to me
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- if we at least got to the next round.- We have a fighting chance.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I am so nervous!
0:24:25 > 0:24:30They came, they demonstrated and they sold,
0:24:30 > 0:24:32but only one team has conquered.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35It's time to find out who's won the challenge
0:24:35 > 0:24:37and stays in the running
0:24:37 > 0:24:40for our USA grand final.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45ARD, DNA, I've had my eyes on both of you for the last two days
0:24:45 > 0:24:50and I have to say, I've been very impressed with what I've seen.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55Remember, 1,500 young traders applied to be in your position,
0:24:55 > 0:24:59but only 14 teams made it through, so well done.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06Remember, the team that makes the most money wins the challenge
0:25:06 > 0:25:11and only they still stand a chance of trading their way to the USA
0:25:11 > 0:25:14and becoming Britain's best young traders.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17The money has been counted.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24ARD, you took...
0:25:29 > 0:25:31£85.69.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38DNA, you took...
0:25:53 > 0:25:56£127.20!
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Congratulations, you're our winners!
0:25:59 > 0:26:01THEY SCREAM
0:26:06 > 0:26:10DNA are today's winners and they're in with a chance
0:26:10 > 0:26:13of competing in the USA.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Everything we've worked for has just paid off.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- It's really exciting, fun. - Yeah, it really is exciting.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22It's a sense of accomplishment.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24I think our teamwork got us the win.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29It was devastating. I don't know what to say. I'm a bit depressed,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32but it was a fair win to them. They got more money than us.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35ALL: Good luck to the girls.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40ARD, commiserations. You worked really hard. Well done.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45DNA, you took the most money and are today's winners.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49The winner of each heat goes on to our leaderboard
0:26:49 > 0:26:53and only these teams stand a chance of getting to the final.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58So winners of the first heat DNA go in at the top.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03But will their £127.20 be enough to keep them in first place?
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Because only the four teams that make the most money
0:27:07 > 0:27:10go on to fight it out in the semi-finals.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13I've been in business for over 20 years
0:27:13 > 0:27:16and I remember when I first started out,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18my selling technique was clumsy and clunky.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22I discovered that whilst the performance of selling
0:27:22 > 0:27:26is important, the key to making money is closing the deal.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Today's teams took that lesson on board
0:27:29 > 0:27:31and it's well worth remembering
0:27:31 > 0:27:34if you want to trade your way to the USA.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Next time on Trade Your Way To The USA - two more teams do battle.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Booyah!
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Have you not written down the prices that we agreed?
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- We actually have no idea. - You've got to change your game plan.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50- That's £3.- High five! - EVIL LAUGH
