0:00:02 > 0:00:05This programme contains some strong language.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Five magicians go head-to-head to find out who is best.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Oh, shit, look!
0:00:09 > 0:00:12The stakes are deadly
0:00:12 > 0:00:14because the loser will face a trick
0:00:14 > 0:00:17that has killed or injured magicians in the past.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Shut up.
0:00:19 > 0:00:20I feel sick.
0:00:20 > 0:00:21This is Killer Magic.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23SCREAM
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Can we get medical in?
0:00:25 > 0:00:30So, let's meet the magicians. First up, it's Sue Perkins' stunt double,
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Chris Cox, the Geek.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35I try to do mind-reading stuff, influencing,
0:00:35 > 0:00:36that type of nonsense.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Can you think of a word for me?
0:00:37 > 0:00:40I like it that people think I can get inside their head.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Send this word over, one, two, three.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44- BOTH:- Tree.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45- Is that the word?- Yeah.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Thanks, Kenny.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50That hurts.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Next up, this cheerful chap is Dee Christopher, the Goth.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55The stuff that really excites me
0:00:55 > 0:00:57is when you strike a different kind of a chord with people.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59This is going to hurt.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Oh, my God, that noise is...
0:01:01 > 0:01:04'Sort of spook them a bit or creep them out.'
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Oh! Oh, my God.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08I feel sick.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Damien O'Brien is the Geezer.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13My style is very flashy showing-off.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15When I perform, it's very intimate, like.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- Do you remember the card?- OK.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21It's kind of in your face, very visual style of magic.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Four of hearts.- It should be straight here, on top...
0:01:23 > 0:01:24of the deck. Watch.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Oh, my God.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32That's crazy.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36This handsome young man is Ben Hart, the Gent.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38I like to do magic which is really visual
0:01:38 > 0:01:40and I think, as magicians, we should be able to alter objects.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43I need to borrow a coin and also a note.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45'Anything I pick up, I try and change its shape or size'
0:01:45 > 0:01:48or make it do something that you would never expect.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49I bet you do.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Do you see what's happening?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56It's completely weird, isn't it? I'm pretty sure that was your note
0:01:56 > 0:02:00and your coin. Isn't that just really bizarre? Are you shaking?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Oh, no, it's OK. It's going to be OK.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05And there's Jasz Vegas, the Girl.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08It's not very inventive, being called the Girl, is it?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Just find your name.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13OK? So, I'm going to give that to you.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17But just because I'm a girl
0:02:17 > 0:02:19doesn't mean I don't do it as well as the guys.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Watch this.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Oh, no.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Oh, my God.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30I don't understand that.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Not only will the magicians be competing -
0:02:32 > 0:02:34they'll also be scoring each other out of ten,
0:02:34 > 0:02:38all of them trying to avoid that Killer Trick...
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Oh, ooh.- Oh.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41..which this week is...
0:02:41 > 0:02:44The ice bath.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45- Oh, no.- Nobody wants that!
0:02:45 > 0:02:48So, the loser will attempt to stay in the bath of ice
0:02:48 > 0:02:51for as long as possible.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Inspired by Houdini's endurance training
0:02:53 > 0:02:55and David Blaine's 63-hour feat in a block of ice,
0:02:55 > 0:02:59this killer stunt can cause shock, hypothermia and serious danger.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Oh.- No, thank you.- It doesn't sound fun.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05It's giving me goose bumps.
0:03:05 > 0:03:0963 hours? I don't think any of us would last 63 seconds.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12All they need now is a theme to base their tricks on.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Your challenge is to perform magic on the theme of...
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Ooh!
0:03:17 > 0:03:18..toys.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Oh, that's nice.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- I instantly think of my childhood. - You get to be a big kid again.- Yes.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25I didn't really have many toys.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28I used to play with insects and set fire to them.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- What was wrong with you?- That says so much about you.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Hmm. Enough of Ben's charming anecdotes!
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Let's get to the magic,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38and remember, our five magicians are performing in front of real people -
0:03:38 > 0:03:42no stooges, no camera tricks, no funny business -
0:03:42 > 0:03:44just magic.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47First up, then, and hoping to avoid an early bath filled with ice,
0:03:47 > 0:03:48it's Jasz.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51There's definitely a big surprise in store with this trick
0:03:51 > 0:03:54and I think it's going to be quite a shocking outcome.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55- Hi, guys, I'm Jasz.- Hiya.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Hiya.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59She's brought her toy-themed trick to a nursery school.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00I've brought some building blocks.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Ever since I was a child,
0:04:02 > 0:04:06I've always been a bit of a rule breaker and I like to push boundaries.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I want to show you how I play with my building blocks.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11So, if you'd like to sign this brick for me.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14It's not just these three slightly awkward spectators
0:04:14 > 0:04:15who'll be enjoying this brick trick -
0:04:15 > 0:04:17the other magicians are loitering in the corner
0:04:17 > 0:04:19and will give their verdicts at the end.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Thank you very much.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Watch.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25So, the brick is signed.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I wonder what sort of structure Jasz is planning to build with...
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Oh, she's putting it in her mouth.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42As you can see, your signed brick is completely gone.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45So I'm going to need to find some more.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I think we'll need some wheels as well.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02One more.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Now, we just have to wait 24 hours till they come out the other end.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I think that's done it. Watch.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Although it looks like Jasz isn't willing to wait that long.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33That top's ruined.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Oh, my God.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Eurgh!
0:05:43 > 0:05:44Ew!
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Now, it goes without saying - and yet here I am saying it -
0:05:47 > 0:05:49please don't try any of this at home.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Jasz is a professional magician and clearly has a screw loose.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Oh!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Eurgh!
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Ew.- Eurgh.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Oh, my God.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10It's got your signature.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Oh, my God.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Oh, my God, are you OK?
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Can we get medical in?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Even though it was disgusting, I still kept on watching.- Yeah.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31It was covered in her blood and it was from her stomach.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34I didn't like it.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37It made me feel sick and I felt scared for the other people.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Just be glad she kept the knife away from your cardigan, Chris.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Yeah, but for shock factor -
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- with magic, you want to blow your people away and that...- Why?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Just be nice to them.- They will remember that for life -
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- that girl cutting that damned car out of her stomach.- Yeah,
0:06:49 > 0:06:52they're going to be haunted and scarred for life!
0:06:52 > 0:06:53I'm scared for her life.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56And I'm scared that those toy bricks are going to go
0:06:56 > 0:06:58back into circulation at a children's nursery.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Anyway, what did the other magicians think? Time for the scores.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Jasz cut a car out of her stomach with blood and we all felt sick
0:07:05 > 0:07:07but I'm going to give her...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11..an eight.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12I've given her...
0:07:12 > 0:07:14..a nine.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Jasz, you're getting a...
0:07:17 > 0:07:18..six.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I'd have liked Jasz to connect more with her spectators
0:07:21 > 0:07:23rather than psychologically scar them for life.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25I'm going to give it a six.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29So, Jasz's bloodcurdling antics give her a more than healthy 29.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Up next, it's Chris, our geeky mind-reader.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I do not want an ice bath. Seriously, if I'm in an ice bath,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38you're going to get two or three seconds tops
0:07:38 > 0:07:39before I get out of there.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Also, I don't want people to see my scrawny, man-child body.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Shame.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45To try and avoid the Killer Magic ice-dunking,
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Chris has enlisted the nation's sweetheart
0:07:47 > 0:07:50and TV contrast confuser Joe Swash
0:07:50 > 0:07:53to take part in his arcade toy-themed trick.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54I'm so excited about this trick.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59It involves one of my favourite video games but on a giant scale.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Can you work out what the game is? - I don't know.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Another clue is on the T-shirt.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- Oh, Pac-Man.- Yes, of course it's Pac-Man.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- I got you.- Do you want to play Pac-Man with me?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- I'd love to play Pac-Man. - Let's go and play Pac-Man.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Are you sure?- I'll probably beat you at Pac-Man.- You're not.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13- Amazing.- Real-life Pac-Man.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Hello, everyone, you all right? - So, these are my ghosts.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19That's Pinky, Inky, Blinky and Ben is Clyde.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20They look happy, don't they?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I'm getting them to dress up ridiculously
0:08:22 > 0:08:25so I think that might sway their vote against me.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- All right, Joe.- All right. - I love Pac-Man.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Now, Mario, I was a big fan of, liked his moustache. Sonic...
0:08:30 > 0:08:32All right, fine, take them off, why don't you?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Sonic, I liked cos he was blue and looked cool but Pac-Man,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37he was my favourite game. OK. I loved Pac-Man.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Why did you love Pac-Man so much?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40It felt like it connected to me on a weird level.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Do you want to be Pac-Man?- Yeah, I'd love to be Pac-Man.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Let's get you dressed up. Here we go. First thing, safety harness.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Pop it on.- OK.- Pop your head through.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- A final piece of the puzzle. - Oh, great.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55- Do I look like Pac-Man?- Yeah!
0:08:55 > 0:08:59You are going to have 30 seconds to run round the Pac-Maze
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- and as Pac-Man, you have to pop as many balloons as you want.- OK.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I'm going to predict how many balloons I think you're going to pop
0:09:04 > 0:09:07so I'm going to pop this prediction in an envelope,
0:09:07 > 0:09:09keep hold of it like that, hang on to it, don't let anyone touch it...
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Five years at RADA for this.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Right, ready, player one. Let's do this.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16Are you ready? I'm ready.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17Three, two, one, Pac!
0:09:18 > 0:09:19And he's off.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Joe has clearly got a natural talent for popping balloons
0:09:22 > 0:09:23which makes him ideal for this trick
0:09:23 > 0:09:27but terrible company at a children's birthday party.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Look at him go, taking no prisoners.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Joe, of course, is no stranger to inflatables and latex.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34You should see some of the Snapchats he's sent me -
0:09:34 > 0:09:35terrifying.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39He's gone up there. You're jumping the maze, though.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Ten seconds left.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43With ten seconds to go,
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Joe is making light work of those pesky air-filled menaces.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48It's undoubtedly a career high
0:09:48 > 0:09:49but how did he do?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- Yeah, it was good.- You're good. OK, come back over,
0:09:51 > 0:09:55don't pop any more balloons. They won't count.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Right, now, where's your envelope?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- I've kept it safe in my pocket. - Has anyone been near it?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- No, no, only me.- Can we get an actual score, adjudicator?
0:10:03 > 0:10:0456!
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- And you've been hanging on to this envelope the whole time?- Yeah.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- Joe, you want me to help you open it?- Go on, you open it.- No, you open it, it's all right.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I'm not going to do anything dodgy here. I'm going to take out
0:10:13 > 0:10:16one thing and I want you to read aloud exactly what it says.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Oh, you got it.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- "I predict that TV's Joe Swash..." - There you are.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22"..will pop exactly 56 balloons!"
0:10:22 > 0:10:2456 balloons!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- There's no way you knew that. - I knew it! I knew it.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- No way.- I knew it. 56 balloons.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29I want to know how you did that.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32I just knew the way you'd run round the maze.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34You couldn't have known the way I'd run round the maze. Even I
0:10:34 > 0:10:36didn't know the way I ran round the maze.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- Now, let's try something. Joe, you've been wearing this suit the whole time, yeah?- Yeah.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- All right, hold on a second. Let's take it off you carefully.- Really?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- Joe, this has been under your Pac-Man suit, yeah?- Oh, shut up.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Take out what's inside of it, here it is.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I'm going to take this off you.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Keep hold of it, don't want to touch it, don't want to go near it.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- You see there's a TV screen over here?- Yeah.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55There's no way you would have known this.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- OK, pop yourself round here. - You're a witch.- So this is you.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Here you are, you'll get you waving to the camera in a second.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Let's start it and this is the prediction I made of your route.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Here you are, off you go.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Down here to begin with.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Down there, straight along.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11- There's no way... - This is you following.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15No idea what way you were going to go, yet here you go, following it.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19So, we've got a bit of a gap there cos you jumped over it.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20So, you predicted the jumps as well?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23I knew you wouldn't stick to the maze, Joe.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24There you go, running up here...
0:11:24 > 0:11:27And that's where the horn runs out. There's your 30 seconds.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Something weird's happened, innit?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I'm... I don't know how you would have done that.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Do you know how I did it, Joe? Mind-reader!
0:11:33 > 0:11:36He's not a mind-reader. Take no notice.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38That was pretty amazing.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39I don't know how that would have happened.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43If I lose, it's because I made them dress as ghosts,
0:11:43 > 0:11:44not because I'm shit.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I'm sure they won't be so petty, Chris.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49I wasn't very happy about wearing those costumes.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Yeah, I felt like an absolute dick.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52He's going to get a slap for it, the little geek.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54It was a pretty good trick, though.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56I spoke too soon.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58We'd better get the scores.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59I would have gaven you an eight
0:11:59 > 0:12:02but instead, you're getting a seven.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I thought Chris's Pac-Man trick was really amazing and lots of fun
0:12:05 > 0:12:07so I'll give it...
0:12:07 > 0:12:09an eight.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12So I'll give him a...
0:12:12 > 0:12:13seven.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15He made all four of us look absolutely ridiculous
0:12:15 > 0:12:17so I'm going to score him...
0:12:17 > 0:12:18a mere five.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Really, Dee?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21He made you look ridiculous?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Chris's dressing-up stunt has earned him a dressing-down
0:12:23 > 0:12:26and a measly score of 27.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29That puts him in line for the Killer Magic ice bath.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Next up, it's Ben, the Gent.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35I'll be doing a trick with a board game, which will involve finding a girl...
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Hello, you must be Sophia.- Hi, nice to meet you.- Nice to meet you.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38..kidnapping her...
0:12:38 > 0:12:40They don't call him the Gent for nothing.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Taxi!
0:12:41 > 0:12:44..taking her to a secret location...
0:12:44 > 0:12:45and wowing her -
0:12:45 > 0:12:47not in a dirty way.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48I'm worried he had to clarify that.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51And you can open your eyes.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- Oh, OK.- Welcome to my little habitat.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Do you feel OK being blindfolded for that long? It's a bit...
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- It was all right.- ..disorientating? - Yeah.- It heightens your other senses
0:13:01 > 0:13:03so maybe in your heightened sense,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06this blindfold could be like a, I don't know,
0:13:06 > 0:13:08like a walking stick?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Oh, OK!
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Er, this cane would make a good table, I think,
0:13:12 > 0:13:14if only it would grow some legs, look.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- SHE GASPS - There you go.- Ha!
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- You're going to play a board game with me.- Right.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Inside here is the beginnings of a game...
0:13:25 > 0:13:28..but there's nothing on it.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- We're going to need a load of imagination...- OK.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- ..to play this game. Do you have a good imagination?- Yeah.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- Will you hold on to that for me?- Sure.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I'll just throw that at the board
0:13:45 > 0:13:48and that smoke is all we need to start a strange trip...
0:13:48 > 0:13:50SHE GASPS
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- ..and the board game becomes completely printed.- OK...
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Now, through that smoke, things start to look pretty weird.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Oh, my God!
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Would you take the dice for me and roll it on the table.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- We're going to take four rolls.- OK.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Six, five, that's a two,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16and a one, so let's add those together - 14.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Count forwards 14 spaces for me.
0:14:18 > 0:14:211, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10...
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- 11, 12...- 13, 14
0:14:24 > 0:14:29- and we're at Grand Central Station, that's a train station.- Oh, OK.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- Now, in my board game, I've cut out all of the boring bits...- OK.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36..and you get to build a hotel wherever you land, immediately.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39You get to name the hotel any name that you'd like
0:14:39 > 0:14:42so take a word, lock it in to your brain, think about it.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- What word did you choose?- Exciting.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- So the Exciting Hotel?- Yeah.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49This is pretty weird.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- Things are going to get a little bit creepy.- OK.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54You might want to hold my hand.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Such a charmer.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Come with me, we're going that way. Come on.- OK.- Quick.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Step outside here because look, you won't believe this
0:15:03 > 0:15:05but we're actually in a hotel.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07But it's not any old hotel. Look here.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- You said the Exciting Hotel.- Mm-hm.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13We're in the Exciting Hotel. Do you see?
0:15:13 > 0:15:18- Yeah.- But I've got more to show you, come on, quick. Take my hand.- OK.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Step down this way, look, it's a hotel. The Exciting Hotel.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Are you excited?- Yes. - I can hardly take it.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27You won't believe this
0:15:27 > 0:15:31but we're here in the lobby of the Exciting Hotel, look.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Step this way because, look, here we go, you can have
0:15:34 > 0:15:36a leaflet to the Exciting Hotel.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38A hotel that exists only in your imagination.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42And you chose to build the hotel... where did you chose to build it?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Train station.- Yeah, you will not believe this.- What?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Step this way, look.- OK.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Look. Because here we are.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52SHE LAUGHS
0:15:52 > 0:15:57- Do you see? Look. Can you see that?- Oh, God!
0:15:57 > 0:16:00The train station, the Exciting Hotel, in the train station.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- That means that I think you've won the game.- OK.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Thank you very much for playing. - Thank you!
0:16:05 > 0:16:07It was so nice to meet you and, if you don't mind,
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- I've got a train to catch.- OK! - So, enjoy your stay.- Thank you.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19Well, wow. That was really good. SHE LAUGHS
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Never mind that, he's left without paying the mini bar bill!
0:16:21 > 0:16:24I think she was a little bit terrified but it was good.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26She looked amazed.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I like the way he put his little top hat on, it's typical Ben.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33I don't know what to say! It's just weird.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35So, it's time for the other magicians to score
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Ben's board game trick.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40She loved a bit of Ben's big trip.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42So did I, I'll give it an eight.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43I'm going to give it...
0:16:46 > 0:16:47..eight.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I've given him...
0:16:49 > 0:16:51a nine.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53I loved it so I'm going to give him a...
0:16:55 > 0:16:56..eight.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Which means Ben is in the lead with 33, leaving stud muffin
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Chris as prime candidate for a sub-zero Killer Magic dunking.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Next up, Damien.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14What I'm about to do is pretty scary.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I could end up going in hospital for what I'm doing today.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20What me and my friends used to do when we were younger, we used to go
0:17:20 > 0:17:23to the top of the hill, we'd cycle down as fast as we possibly could.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25And the person who threw their brakes on last
0:17:25 > 0:17:28and got closest to the wall would be the winner.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- This game is called Chicken. - It's a gripping anecdote.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Scott, I would like you to mark the wall, give yourself a target,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37mark it really nice and big, put initials, big X...
0:17:37 > 0:17:40If he doesn't draw a giant penis and testicles,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- he's let all of us down. - Yeah, you've vandalled a few walls.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46So now you have the X of what you've got to try and stop before.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49And we're going to check the back of the wall now.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Do you want to check it yourselves? - Yeah.- Yeah, beat the shit out of it.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Punch it. It's great. Try not to knock it over.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56Good advice.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59First up to play Chicken with the wall is BMXer Scott.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Understandably, Damien's got the horn.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04BLOWS HORN
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Oooh...
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Rubbish.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Right...
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Let's mark where you got.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- Pretty much there. - You slammed your brakes on.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Come on, mate.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Now, I'm going to do this blindfolded.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25So, drop your head forward.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33- Can you see anything from this blindfold? No?- No.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Now, because he's blindfolded
0:18:34 > 0:18:37and might smash his face off on the wall, Damien has a last-second
0:18:37 > 0:18:40disaster warning in the shape of this paper screen.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Take a seat.- No worries.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49The last thing Damien needs is an even flatter face.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52As you can see, the other magicians look extremely concerned
0:18:52 > 0:18:54for Damien's wellbeing/they are wondering what's for lunch.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56BLOWS HORN
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Off he goes.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01HE SCREAMS
0:19:01 > 0:19:02No!
0:19:04 > 0:19:09- How did I do?- Aye, you did no' bad, like.- Come over, let's check.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Come with me.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20That's your X spray-paint, right? Check it, make sure it's solid.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22That's ridiculous.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23THEY LAUGH
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Shit, that was scary.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Come around, come around to the back as well, I want you to see the back.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31I think you definitely won the game.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34The question remains, how did he do it?
0:19:34 > 0:19:35What's going on here?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I was thinking, he's never stopping in time.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- He was never stopping in time. - HE SCREAMS
0:19:41 > 0:19:42You heard the scream
0:19:42 > 0:19:45and then all of a sudden the bike's at the other end.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I didn't expect to see him at the other end, you know?
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Obviously I saw him hit the paper but genuinely thought, "Well, this guy's now dead."
0:19:52 > 0:19:54It would be an easier competition if one of us
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- were to just pop our clogs.- Yeah.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Well, it is called Killer Magic, so who knows? Right, points, please.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02It was WHEELIE good.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Oh, dear.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Eight.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I'm giving Damien...
0:20:06 > 0:20:07a seven.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09I'm going to give him...
0:20:10 > 0:20:11..an eight.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14It was amazing and a little bit terrifying, so I give him...
0:20:14 > 0:20:15eight.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21That gives Damien a comfortable 31 and leaves mind-reader Chris
0:20:21 > 0:20:25precariously poised with only Dee, the Goth, to go.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30There is a little bit of a kicker ending to this that
0:20:30 > 0:20:33I don't think anybody will predict.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I've brought you here today to try and show you something
0:20:36 > 0:20:38based on my favourite childhood toy,
0:20:38 > 0:20:42the most violent game my parents would allow me to play.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46You take a little plastic pirate, it would go inside a little plastic
0:20:46 > 0:20:50barrel and several plastic swords would be stabbed in
0:20:50 > 0:20:54and whoever managed to make the pirate jump out would be the winner.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56As I wouldn't be seen dead in a pirate's outfit,
0:20:56 > 0:20:59we're going to swap the pirate for a Goth.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I'm going to place some tape over my face,
0:21:01 > 0:21:04cos I don't want my screams of pure agony to put you off your task.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07These people could put the swords anywhere.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11To be honest, there could be fatal injuries.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Be careful...
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Being the consummate masochist that he is,
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Dee has pre-recorded video instructions for the volunteers.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Would contestant one please choose a sword
0:21:20 > 0:21:23and stab it through one of the cardboard walls?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Remind me not to buy his How To Impress Strangers With
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Sparkling Charisma hypnosis CD any time soon.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Contestant two, will you now choose your initial sword?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Stab it through the box and out the other side.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39These swords are real,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42sharp and very dangerous, and the cardboard box is real,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44made of cardboard and very box-shaped,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47so, no hiding in the corners for Dee.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Ow!
0:22:02 > 0:22:04They've run out of swords,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07so any second now Dee will be popping out of that box.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Any second now, Dee.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Whenever you want. In your own time, Dee.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25The atmosphere in the room has changed.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Everybody's a little anxious...
0:22:27 > 0:22:28../bored.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32And thar he blows!
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I was lying. I fucking love pirates.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Said like a true rebel.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41I think I might have just stabbed him.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Ow.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I can't see how he could have found any wee corners to hide in.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49I could've come out of it a bloody mess.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Well, I have come out of it a bloody mess but in a different sense!
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I think his performance was really great but the box was so big,
0:22:57 > 0:23:00it might as well have been a walk-in wardrobe.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Oooh.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08He needed more swords, so I give him...
0:23:08 > 0:23:09six.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Dee, I'm going to give you a...
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- ..five.- I'm going to give it a...
0:23:19 > 0:23:21..six.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25It was ridiculous. Sadly, I didn't care for the trick.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26I'll give it a four.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Clearly not impressed, the magicians have scored Dee a lowly 21.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33So, we have our winner and our loser.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36It's time to deliver the news.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- This week's top magician is...- Oooh.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- Ben.- Yeah!
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Yeah! Boom!
0:23:42 > 0:23:47- Big trick wins the day.- Yeah! - This week's loser is...
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- ..Dee.- Oh! Oh, no!
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Yes!- Yippee! One of us has got to do it.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57That is very true.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Always looking on the bright side of things, aren't you, Dee?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Sitting in a bath full of ice for as long as humanly possible
0:24:05 > 0:24:08doesn't sound like my idea of a walk in the park.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Professional lifeguards dressed like opposing teams on a game show
0:24:13 > 0:24:17are on hand to haul Dee from his frozen bath if it gets too much.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Or when professional doctor Ron feels he's in danger.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25- There's going to be a big shock when it hits your skin.- Very good.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- The sensation will go in your fingers and your toes.- OK.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31You'll be fine until you get below 35 degrees as your core
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- temperature, then it's a seriously dangerous.- Dee, are you ready?
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Please tell me he's not going to take that dressing gown off.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- I'm ready.- OK, do you want to disrobe?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44It is currently...
0:24:46 > 0:24:47- ..one degree. - LAUGHTER
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Even touching that thermometer, it is freezing.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52In your own time.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56See you all on the other side.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03- Well, that's unpleasant. - You might just sit pretty quickly.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05OK, the timer starts now.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Oh, fuck me!
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Five seconds.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- Is that all?- Yeah. - HE LAUGHS
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Ten seconds.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19How are your legs?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Erm, I can't...- 15 seconds.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Breathe.
0:25:28 > 0:25:2960 seconds.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31It's a minute gone.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Fucking hell, Ben.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42HE LAUGHS
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I'm starting to, er...
0:25:50 > 0:25:51to feel a lot shakier.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Erm, it's starting to get really painful in my feet.
0:25:56 > 0:25:584 minutes and 50 seconds.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Good.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- Try and push past five.- I'll push past five. I'm going to hit ten.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Whoa!- Five minutes.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10That is double the length of time... Oh, my God.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- Dee...- How does that feel now?
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Is that a lot worse?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17It's considerably worse.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19You're shivering a lot more now.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Yeah, I can feel it a lot more now.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- Dee, you're getting, you're doing very well.- I'm so impressed.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29I probably think that's a record for everyone.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I don't think anyone would've thought you'd have lasted this long.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- You've done amazing.- Yeah, I don't think I'll manage 63 hours!
0:26:35 > 0:26:39- You've hit nine minutes, you're doing very well.- Good.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Oh, my God!
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Can you feel Damien touching you?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Can you feel my hand touching your leg?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Just about, but not at the surface.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- 16 minutes.- Oh!
0:26:50 > 0:26:55I feel like I want to push myself to the limits with this.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56Erm...
0:26:58 > 0:27:00At some point it becomes stupid.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Yeah, no, totally, when I start losing composure...
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- I mean, I can feel myself shaking a lot more now.- I can see it.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Starting to get a bit scary.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16It's getting on a bit now, mate.
0:27:16 > 0:27:21- OK.- OK, out?- Out.- Out.- Be careful.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Oh!

0:27:34 > 0:27:38- Fuck me.- He's burnt, his legs are burnt.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39Can you stand?
0:27:39 > 0:27:43I've been out of the water now for nearly ten minutes.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45HE EXHALES
0:27:45 > 0:27:49I'm starting to get feeling back in my feet.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52It's my feet that are the worst thing.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54This has been the most exciting thing for me.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Really pushing your body to its limits,
0:27:57 > 0:28:00because we're not made of glass, you know, we are made to survive.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Well done, Dee!
0:28:06 > 0:28:10Dee has survived the deadly feat of endurance.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Next time, someone might not be as lucky on Killer Magic.
