0:00:10 > 0:00:14Right now, I'm going to take you on a journey into my world.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16I've never seen that before in my life.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18GASPS OF AMAZEMENT
0:00:18 > 0:00:21- FIREWORKS FIZZ AND POP - I can't even speak about it!
0:00:22 > 0:00:24It's crazy!
0:00:26 > 0:00:29In this episode, I head to the city of Rio de Janeiro
0:00:29 > 0:00:31and go on a South American adventure.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34CHILDREN SCREAM EXCITEDLY
0:00:34 > 0:00:36From the world-famous beaches of Copacabana
0:00:36 > 0:00:38and Ipanema..
0:00:38 > 0:00:41to the heart of Rio's favelas.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42HE LAUGHS
0:00:42 > 0:00:44MAN LAUGHS
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Follow me as I explore this great city
0:00:47 > 0:00:51and bring a touch of magic to the people of Brazil.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52You Mafiaso!
0:00:54 > 0:00:59My name is Steven Frayne, but most people call me Dynamo.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- What's your name?- Junior.- Giovanni.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- Lianus.- Tiago.- Tiago. I'm Dynamo.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Do you have keys or money?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56INDISTINCT PORTUGUESE
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Can I use your phone? Can I use this?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19I just want to use the headphones.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Watch. The key...
0:02:33 > 0:02:34LOUD LAUGHTER
0:02:35 > 0:02:38EXCLAMATIONS IN PORTUGUESE
0:03:19 > 0:03:23I had landed in paradise, thousands of miles away from the UK.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27As I looked out across the ocean,
0:03:27 > 0:03:30my life back home seemed like a distant memory.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Things had been going great for me in the UK.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36My dreams had become a reality
0:03:36 > 0:03:39and my work was finally getting recognised.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44But when my grandpa died, it stopped me in my tracks.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46It got impossible to perform without the man who'd inspired me
0:03:46 > 0:03:48to make it this far.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Have you ever had a time in your life when things become
0:03:50 > 0:03:54so overwhelming you just want to disappear?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I needed to find a place that could reinspire
0:03:56 > 0:04:00my love of magic, a place where nobody knew my name.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Rio de Janeiro, the second-largest city in Brazil
0:04:11 > 0:04:13and a place full of magic and wonder.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20During Carnival season, over two million people descend on to
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Rio's streets for the world's biggest street party.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41It was my first visit to Brazil and I hoped it would give me
0:04:41 > 0:04:44a chance to bring my magic to an unexpected audience.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47First stop, the beaches of Ipanema.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Ola.- Hi.- Hi.- Hi. How are you doing? Are you all right?
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Are you from here?
0:05:01 > 0:05:06- Si.- Si.- Si, yeah? My name is Dynamo. What's your name?- Camilla.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07- Camilla and...- Daisy.- Daisy.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12Nice to meet you. Do you girls like coconut milk?
0:05:12 > 0:05:13- Si.- Yes?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16You don't sound like you like it too much, so name a different drink.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Cafe.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20You want coffee?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- What do you want?- Laranja. - Orange.- Si.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Excuse me, can we have two coconut?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33There's two. Will you...pick one?
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Yeah.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00And now, Daisy, if you pick one as well.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04This one? You take that one?
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Can you take this one? That one is yours? Right? That one is yours.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25What did you choose?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Cafe.- Coffee?
0:06:27 > 0:06:32And you chose... orange, right? Hold them out.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33THEY LAUGH
0:06:35 > 0:06:37LAUGHTER
0:06:37 > 0:06:39That's a coffee.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09As the sun set on my first day in Rio,
0:07:09 > 0:07:13I took a stroll along the iconic boardwalk of Copacabana beach.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Rio comes alive at night.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I love to take in the sights and sounds of a new city.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19SIREN WAILS
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Sometimes I see things that have the power to stop me in my tracks
0:07:22 > 0:07:25and make me feel like a kid again.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Lost in a moment of pure magic and amazement.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33I guess it's these moments that allow us to forget our troubles
0:07:33 > 0:07:36and inspire us to the infinite possibilities around us.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13As I ventured further into the city, Carnival was in full flow.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16The atmosphere was incredible
0:09:16 > 0:09:19and I wanted to bring a little extra magic to the festivities.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Do you have a coin?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Yes.- Can you take it out?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I want you to draw a picture on there.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Perfect!
0:09:44 > 0:09:45See that?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Take your hand and hold it tight.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Yeah, perfect. Watch.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06LAUGHTER
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Come with me.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- How much?- Dez.- Ten.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Which one?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- This one.- This one?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23RATTLING
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Hear this? Hear this?
0:10:39 > 0:10:40LESS RATTLING
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Hear that? One thing. Yeah?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47CLUNKING
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Can you...? Can you stamp on there?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Oh!
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Look.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57SHE LAUGHS
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Wow.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Oh, my God. Crazy.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15I just can't understand how he does it, you know.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18I'm just baffled by it. It's crazy.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35As darkness fell, the local kids rushed to the popcorn store.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42It's kind of like the ice cream van back home
0:11:42 > 0:11:45except it sells popcorn
0:11:45 > 0:11:46and it's not a van.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48What's this?
0:11:48 > 0:11:49THEY SPEAK PORTUGUESE
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Use this?

0:11:58 > 0:11:59Olha so.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05KIDS SQUEAL
0:12:06 > 0:12:08See that?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Taste it. Taste it. Taste it.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16It's real?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23KIDS SPEAK PORTUGUESE
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Nothing here.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Watch.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07I wanted to meet some more locals
0:13:07 > 0:13:10so I headed to a bar on the outskirts of the city.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Do you have a good imagination?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Yes. Yes. Sim. Sim.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20I want you to think of a playing card in your imagination now.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Yeah? So think of one card.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28I have cards here. I'm going to put cards down. Just say stop.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Stop.- This one right here?
0:13:33 > 0:13:34OK.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37You could have had these two.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40You could have stopped on these.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44You stopped me on one card and you've been thinking of a card.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45SHE GASPS
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Yes. Sim, sim.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Ah...
0:13:52 > 0:13:54You've got a good imagination.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56We'll try and take it a step further.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59So I've got the card here and I'll put it in the pack.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- You see it's facing downwards, right?- OK.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Yeah? I'll push it in slowly.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- In your imagination, I want you to turn the card over.- OK.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- In your imagination. Are you doing that? Bom.- OK.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Yeah. Sim, sim.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22SHE LAUGHS
0:14:22 > 0:14:25How about we try one more?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28This time imagine you're tearing the corner off the card.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30So tear the corner off. Yeah?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Sim, sim.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43One more thing with your card.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I want you to imagine that the candle's alight.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04Imagine you're burning the card now. Imagine it. On the back. Yeah?
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Are you doing that?
0:15:07 > 0:15:08DYNAMO WINCES
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Turn it over. Be careful, it's hot. Turn it over.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21LAUGHTER
0:15:43 > 0:15:46The next day, I headed up to the Chapeu Mangueira favela,
0:15:46 > 0:15:49one of the numerous shantytowns built into the steep hills
0:15:49 > 0:15:50behind Rio's coastline,
0:15:50 > 0:15:54to meet up with one of the local residents, my friend Tiago.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05CHILD SCREAMS
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Hey.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Most of the locals can only speak a little English
0:16:13 > 0:16:16and my Portuguese isn't great, so I really had to depend
0:16:16 > 0:16:19on my magic to break through the language barrier.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- Ola.- Ola.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Tudo bem?

0:18:10 > 0:18:13After lunch, Tiago gave me a tour of the favela
0:18:13 > 0:18:15to meet some of the residents.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20Watch.

0:20:15 > 0:20:16Cara!
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Once I'd performed for the kids, they challenged me
0:20:30 > 0:20:33to a game of football on a dirt pitch at the top of a favela.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35There was no way I could lose.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Playing my national sport against a bunch of six-year-olds?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40This would be like taking candy from a baby.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42My team against your team.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Yeah?
0:20:47 > 0:20:48HE SPEAKS PORTUGUESE

0:22:18 > 0:22:19Juliana.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Watch.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29JULIANA LAUGHS
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Juliana.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31Obrigada.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18It was my last day in Rio and I'd been truly inspired
0:23:18 > 0:23:21by the places I'd seen and the people I'd met.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25From the idyllic beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema...
0:23:29 > 0:23:32..to the energy and spirit of the Chapeu Mangueira favela.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42I'd been infected with Carnival fever
0:23:42 > 0:23:45and would never forget this magical place.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49For the first time in ages,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51my troubles seemed like a distant memory.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02But before I left, I needed to visit one of the great icons of Brazil,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Cristo Redentor, the statue of Christ the Redeemer.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14It was a long journey up the steep mountainside by cable car
0:24:14 > 0:24:16to the base of the statue.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19And as the mist rolled in, it was impossible to tell
0:24:19 > 0:24:22if I'd have a clear view of the incredible landmark when I arrived.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37For some reason, I imagined that the statue would be
0:24:37 > 0:24:41a quiet, tranquil place set high above the madness of city life,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44but when I arrived the place was packed with tourists,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46all trying to get a picture of the gigantic statue.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11I needed a way to create a lasting memory of my trip to Rio,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14an image that would forever remind me of this magnificent city.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Excuse me, could you take a picture of me?- OK.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- One second, I'm going to go up there.- OK.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30See me?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33MUSIC: Arise, Shine by The Synanon Choir
0:27:16 > 0:27:18INAUDIBLE
0:27:47 > 0:27:48Eurgh!
0:27:48 > 0:27:50You got to be kidding me, man.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57I don't know what just happened right now, man.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- LAUGHTER - Awesome.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10I have never seen that before in my life.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12MUSIC: Running by Gil Scott Heron
0:28:12 > 0:28:13# Because I knew where cover was
0:28:13 > 0:28:16# I would stay there and never have to run for it
0:28:16 > 0:28:17# Not running for my life
0:28:17 > 0:28:20# Because I have to be running for something of more value
0:28:20 > 0:28:22# To be running and not in fear
0:28:22 > 0:28:26# Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped, eluded, avoided
0:28:26 > 0:28:30# Hidden from, protected from, gotten away from
