0:00:02 > 0:00:05This programme contains some strong language.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Five magicians are going head-to-head to find out
0:00:07 > 0:00:08who is better than the rest.
0:00:08 > 0:00:09Is the magic happening yet?
0:00:09 > 0:00:10The stakes are deadly...
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Oh, shit!
0:00:12 > 0:00:13No!
0:00:13 > 0:00:15..because the loser will face a trick
0:00:15 > 0:00:17that's killed or injured magicians in the past.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19- Shut up. - 'It really is...'
0:00:19 > 0:00:20I feel sick.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23WOMAN SCREAMS
0:00:23 > 0:00:24What have you done?!
0:00:24 > 0:00:27So, then, let's meet the five magicians slugging it out
0:00:27 > 0:00:29in this death-defying contest.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32First up is mind-reader Chris Cox, the geek.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- I want you to think of an animal, OK? - Yeah.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38My main job here is to entertain, hopefully to make people laugh.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39HE TRUMPETS
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Is it an elephant?
0:00:40 > 0:00:42And mix lots of different techniques together
0:00:42 > 0:00:44to make it look like I can read minds.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46But I can't. But I am good at lying, though.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- What was the animal you were thinking of?- Tiger.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- Ah. That's annoying, innit? - Yeah. Yeah.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Although it does explain this... HE LAUGHS
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Rargh!
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Nothing explains that.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Next up, this guy - Dee Christopher.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01The Goth.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06The one thing in magic that excites me the most is seeing something new.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Let's see if we can get this going. There we go.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Oh, my God!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Seeing something original, something with edge.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14I'm trying to put it back, so I can have my 10p back!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16THEY LAUGH
0:01:16 > 0:01:18This fast-fingered fellow is Damien O'Brien,
0:01:18 > 0:01:19the geezer.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Close-up magic is really great, because it's in the people's hands.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Got 11p. OK?
0:01:24 > 0:01:25- Mm-hm.- So, now, look, watch.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27If I said I took 10p, how much have I got left?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- 1p.- I've still got 11p.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33There's no stage, no elaborate sets.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34It's as real as it gets.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Last time. I take the 10, I put it in my pocket. How much have I got left?
0:01:38 > 0:01:39There should be 11p there.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40It's actually a lime.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41THEY LAUGH
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Then there's Jasz Vegas,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46the fire-breathing queen of magic.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48The sort of magic you can expect from me is the unexpected.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- Draw a mouse.- A mouse?- Yes. So, your best version of a mouse!
0:01:52 > 0:01:58I really enjoy things that are new and fresh, and full of character.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00No? Not that one?
0:02:00 > 0:02:01It's quite scary, isn't it?
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Yeah, a little bit.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04TRAP SNAPS
0:02:05 > 0:02:06- It's the mouse!- That is the mouse!
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Lastly, it's all-round sex bomb and sunglasses ambassador Ben Hart,
0:02:09 > 0:02:10the gent.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Magic is all about the audience who are there.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I will push this knife straight through the box.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18It's got to do with, how does the audience interact emotionally
0:02:18 > 0:02:20with the magic that you're doing?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Even though the knife went through, it's heavy, because...- No!
0:02:23 > 0:02:27..there's a solid block of steel inside.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Cos magic happens only in people's heads.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Nowhere else.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31No way!
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Not only are the magicians competing,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38they're also scoring each other's performances out of ten.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41All of them trying to avoid that killer trick.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43This week's killer trick is...
0:02:45 > 0:02:46..the table of death.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Ooh! Deadly sounding.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51"The losing magician will be tied to a table
0:02:51 > 0:02:54"beneath a lid of lethal steel spikes."
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Yes, the table of death is based on a real medieval torture device
0:02:58 > 0:03:00that caused agonising death to hundreds of victims.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05So, which one of our magicians will have to escape its killer spikes?
0:03:05 > 0:03:06"Any mistake with this trick
0:03:06 > 0:03:10"could bring a promising magician's career to a gruesome end."
0:03:10 > 0:03:12That's not going to happen.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- None of us are promising. - LAUGHTER
0:03:14 > 0:03:18So, what they need now is a theme to base their tricks on.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20"To avoid the table of death,
0:03:20 > 0:03:22"you'll need to perform tricks on the theme of..."
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Film.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26There's, like, just a wealth of inspiration for this.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28The first films were exhibited by magicians,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31and audiences would go and think it was a magic trick,
0:03:31 > 0:03:32to see pictures moving.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Magicians have always been really closely tied to film.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36It's going to be really interesting
0:03:36 > 0:03:37to see what we all come up with.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40All the magicians are performing in front of real people,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42so you're seeing genuine reactions to their skills.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44There are no camera tricks, no stooges, no CGI.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Mostly because we ran out of time to organise them.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51And first up to face the film challenge is Damien.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54To come up with tricks based around movies is not the easiest thing,
0:03:54 > 0:03:58and, in fact, there is one little bit today I'm kind of nervous about.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Damien's trying to impress the laydeez with his knowledge of film.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Ever since I was a kid, I've been obsessed with superhero movies.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08And I would sit there and think, if I was a superhero,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10what would my superpowers be?
0:04:10 > 0:04:11And I would probably combine
0:04:11 > 0:04:14my three favourite superheroes' powers together.
0:04:14 > 0:04:20My first is Storm from X-Men. She could manipulate the elements.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23So, I'll take this bit of receipt, here.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Don't need that.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Did no-one tell him not to litter?
0:04:30 > 0:04:31I'm going to burn it. Watch.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Don't take your eyes off. Watch.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36And turn it into water...
0:04:38 > 0:04:41So, Jennifer, hold out your hands for me.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Look, I can take it a step further.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44- I can actually...- It's cold.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45..turn it to ice.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Oh, my God!
0:04:52 > 0:04:55It's OK, you can put it on there. It's all right.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Does anyone have a coin I can use? - Yeah.
0:04:58 > 0:05:04- Can you write your initials on the face of the coin?- Mm-hm.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Nice, big and clear.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09SA.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11And can you make sure Jennifer can see that,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14and show it to the camera as well?
0:05:14 > 0:05:15So, I'm going to take your coin.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Now, you'd recognise that if you was to see that again?- Yeah.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Stephanie, hold out your hands for me,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21and just squeeze the coin really tight.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Now, my second superpower what I would love to have had -
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Magneto, who is also in the X-Men,
0:05:26 > 0:05:30his ability was that he could control metal.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32This might feel a little weird. Something's slightly happening.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- It's kind of strange, right?- Uh-huh.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Slowly open your hand and have a look at the coin.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Look what you've done to it.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Oh, my God!
0:05:41 > 0:05:44No! It's, like, all bent.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Show 'em the bend.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48- Definitely bent, right?- Yeah.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- And that's your coin, with your initials, yeah?- Uh-huh.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55So, the last superhero whose powers I would love is Superman.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Now, Superman had incredible speed.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Now, I believe I'm pretty quick. In fact...
0:06:01 > 0:06:03..if you blink, you might miss this.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05On three, two...
0:06:05 > 0:06:06one. GLASS CLINKS
0:06:08 > 0:06:09- Whoa!- You may not have seen that.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- You definitely heard something, right?- Uh-huh.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15That was the sound of me running over to that glass
0:06:15 > 0:06:19and dropping your signed bent coin into the glass and coming back here.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20You don't believe me, do you?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Both of you, come with me.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Come and have a look.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- See in the tea?- Yeah. - I don't want to touch it.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Pick up the glass. Go for it.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30THEY LAUGH
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Use the spoon. Take out the coin.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39It's bent.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Take the coin. It's all right.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43No! No.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47That is crazy.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- Well...- That's...- Magical!
0:06:49 > 0:06:52OK, so if the magic don't work out, I could be a superhero.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Oh, my God!- Cheers, girls.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Oh, my God!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59To see the girls freaking out like that...
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Oh, my God!
0:07:00 > 0:07:02..it was, you know, a lot of fun for me.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04It's so, like... Your mind just can't comprehend it.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- It was so weird. - I want to know how he did it.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07He didn't move.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09You strive for reactions like that.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11No! No.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13To get those moments where people are just blown away
0:07:13 > 0:07:16by what appears to be real magic in front of them.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18That was just crazy.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20I'm just glad he didn't try and use his X-ray vision.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I wonder how the other magicians will score him out of ten.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I'm going to give it a...
0:07:26 > 0:07:277.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30What a rubbish superhero! He doesn't wear his pants over his trousers.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31I'll give him a 7.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I'm going to give him a 7.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37It was less superhero, more mediocre hero.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38He gets a 7.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44Ah, so, that's a middle of the road 28 for not-so super man Damien.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Next up, though, making some movie magic, is Jasz.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Because this week's theme is film,
0:07:49 > 0:07:53I'm going to do a trick inspired by the silent movies.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54- Hello!- Hi!
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Does she really need tape to stop her talking? No self-control.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00OK.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Yep.
0:08:05 > 0:08:0633.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Yep.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17THEY LAUGH
0:08:17 > 0:08:18One, two, three,
0:08:18 > 0:08:20four, five, six...
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Pfft, yeah, she could've picked a smaller number.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25..eight, nine, ten,
0:08:25 > 0:08:2911, 12, 13, 14, 15...
0:08:29 > 0:08:33We are now just essentially watching a woman count to the number 33.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34..19, 20, 21, 22...
0:08:34 > 0:08:37And they say BBC Three can't do entertainment.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39..24, 25, 26,
0:08:39 > 0:08:4227, 28, 29,
0:08:42 > 0:08:4630, 31, 32, 33.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47At last!
0:08:48 > 0:08:50So, that is the king of spades.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55- OK.- OK.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02(What are we watching?)
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Amazingly, the king of spades HAS gone.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23Yeah, it's not there!
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Ouch.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37No...
0:09:37 > 0:09:38Oh, my God!
0:09:39 > 0:09:41It was sealed all this time.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Oh! - THEY LAUGH
0:09:48 > 0:09:50That's.... Oh...!
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I-I-I just thought it was incredible.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Like, I didn't realise that the tape was going to be part of the magic.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01I just thought it was kind of, like, more the ambience.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02I really enjoyed performing that trick -
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I think it went very well, and they really seemed to enjoy it.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07I love the way it looked, I love the concept,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09but the trick didn't really do it for me -
0:10:09 > 0:10:10it was kind of all style and no substance.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Is that a bit harsh?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I'm just being, er...
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Ben, that is a very black and white analysis.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Eh? Uh... Time for the scores.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Jasz's film trick blew me away.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25So, for that reason, she's got a 9.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I give her...
0:10:28 > 0:10:296.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30It gets...
0:10:30 > 0:10:31a 6.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Jasz's silent movie trick was a little style over substance, for me,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36so I'll give it a 7.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39So, that's also 28 for Jasz,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42making her joint top and also joint bottom with Damien.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Next up is Ben, who's off to become the third wheel
0:10:44 > 0:10:49in an otherwise lovely cinema date with two special guests.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I've brought along television presenters Sam and Mark.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I'm going to show them my bizarre magic. I hope they like it.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Sam's scared of magicians.- Are you? - You're wizards, aren't you?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59I think the other magicians will like it,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01because it's something a bit different from me.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04If it all goes to plan, and I don't end up...
0:11:04 > 0:11:05I dunno, blowing my face off.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- What's your favourite thing about the cinema?- Food.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Food - yeah, that's what I love. I love popcorn.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Popcorn.- I'm the same. - Yeah. It's not cheap, though.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- And you don't get very much for your money, do you?- No, you don't.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- I want, like, a... Like, a wheelie bin full.- Yeah!
0:11:19 > 0:11:20That's a bit greedy.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23I've picked this wheelie bin up from round the back of the cinema.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24Let's get rid of this.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Yeah, that sounds hygienic.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Nothing in there except some ticket stubs and half-eaten hot-dog buns.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Come and have a look, there's nothing inside the bin.- Yep.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- There is nothing inside the bin. - Nothing inside the bin.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Now, I'm going to attempt to make some popcorn.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Obviously you need a few things for that.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39First of all, I've got my... I've got a cap.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Do you want a hand to see in there?
0:11:41 > 0:11:42- Yes.- Your wish is my command.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Yeah, nothing.- I love that. - Yeah, that's an empty cap, that.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Do you know that actually, secretly,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48you found out what the magic gesture is?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- What?- What you just did... - What did I do?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Do it again, over the top.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Do you hear this?
0:11:54 > 0:11:55- POPCORN RUSTLES - Oh, my God!- Look.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Because now, inside there... BOTH:- No!
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- ..there's...- Oh, look at that! - Seeds!
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Seeds, yeah, well, popcorn kernels.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05"Seeds"! Right, I'm going to put all these in here.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09It's all gone. Now...
0:12:09 > 0:12:12When you go to the cinema, and you get popcorn,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15do you have a particular type of popcorn you like?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- Like, a flavour?- Oh, sugar.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- Yeah, I have sweet all the time. - I can't eat salt.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I'd better make some sugar appear, like...this.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23See?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- It's a bit of sugar. - Cool!- Definitely sugar.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Although that's actually quite a bit more than I was expecting.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- It's a lot!- Yeah.- It's a lot.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32The film starts in, what?
0:12:32 > 0:12:33Five minutes.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Wow, that's going to be terrible for me teeth, that.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37That really is a lot.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38THEY LAUGH
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Seriously, that's ridiculous.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46So, all of that, popcorn kernels and sugar,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49would probably make you pretty thirsty, wouldn't it?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- I'd say so, yeah.- I'm going to give you these 3-D glasses.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- OK.- Pop them on.- Cheers, dude. - Thanks very much.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56These will make everything appear a lot closer to you,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- a lot more real.- Wow, you look real. - Whoa!
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- And I've noticed there was a can in here.- Yeah?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I'm going to try a film special effect close-up with this can.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05So, you might see the can start to... This is pretty weird, actually.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- The can is actually... - Oh, my God!- It's going normal!
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- This can actually...- It's going back to its original shape.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15..uncrushes itself, and not only does it uncrush itself -
0:13:15 > 0:13:19of course, it's still empty, unless I just rub my finger over the top,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22and you'll see it reseals itself.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23- See?- That's amazing!
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Completely resealed, and completely full...
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- of drink. I need you to check that that really is...- Wow!
0:13:30 > 0:13:31- That is impressive. - ..now completely full.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34There you go, you can have that one. And you can have that one.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Need something a bit stronger, after that!
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- Thanks, mate.- That's all right. Let me take these off you.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Cheers, dude. Thank you very much.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Now, I thought I would try to make our popcorn,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- but I wanted to do it in the most filmic way I could.- OK.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46I'm going to see what happens
0:13:46 > 0:13:49if I can make all of the popcorn kernels pop at exactly the same time.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Yeah, good.- You're going to need these. Whack them on.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00And now I just make the magic gesture.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- Whoo!- And I think that's done it!
0:14:05 > 0:14:06Look.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- Oh!- Yay!
0:14:08 > 0:14:11The bin is now completely full of popcorn.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Look, you can taste it, if you don't mind eating from a bin.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- I'm all right.- I'll have a go. - Yeah?- I'll have a go.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20..the sugar appear, look.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23It was amazing to see a proper magician
0:14:23 > 0:14:25do it in front of your eyes.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Whoo!
0:14:26 > 0:14:29I thought this trick would make Ben quite POP-ular.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Ugh!- It was a little bit "corny", though, wasn't it?
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Oh, dear!
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Although, I have noticed, some of this is salted, as well.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36What?!
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Fucking prick.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42So, how did the other magicians score Ben's explosive trick?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I love Ben's magic, but this one, a bit like popcorn,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47left me feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I'll give it a 7.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50I'll give him a...
0:14:51 > 0:14:527.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Ben's popcorn trick
0:14:54 > 0:14:57gets a 6 from me.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00He didn't give me no popcorn, so, he gets a 7.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Damien scoring with his stomach, there.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Which means Ben gets 27, leaving him bottom of the scoreboard
0:15:05 > 0:15:08and prime candidate for being spiked.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Next up, Chris is going to combine mind-reading and movies.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I wanted to show people their favourite films.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Turns out that's not a magic trick,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18that's just the magic of a DVD player.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21So, instead, I'm going to try and act out the films
0:15:21 > 0:15:22people are just thinking of.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Look out, Hollywood, a star is about to be born.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26In order to focus their minds,
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Chris has asked an audience of film students
0:15:28 > 0:15:30to write down their favourite films on a piece of paper,
0:15:30 > 0:15:32and fold them up.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34These are then collected in a bowl and put on full view,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36so Chris can't tamper with them.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Now, me, with my encyclopaedic knowledge of films
0:15:38 > 0:15:40and a set of costumes and props,
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I am now going to try and act out some of your favourite films. OK?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47So, really see them in your head, and see me act them out.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Can you stand up, quickly, for me?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52There's a song in your head, isn't there?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Let me...
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Let me try.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57# Look for the
0:15:57 > 0:15:59# BEAR necessities... # LAUGHTER
0:15:59 > 0:16:00# The simple bear necessities... #
0:16:00 > 0:16:01- Is that it?- Yeah.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Yes! OK, brilliant... APPLAUSE
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Someone give him a record deal.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Let's try something else.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Can you stand up for me?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Why are you thinking of basket...?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Is the first movie you ever saw Space Jam?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- Yeah!- Yes!
0:16:16 > 0:16:18What an amazing film! OK... APPLAUSE
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Thank you, you can sit down for me.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26OK, um...what's your name?
0:16:26 > 0:16:27- Rachel.- Rachel, OK.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I'm going to try something different with you, Rachel.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31I'm going to get you to read MY mind this time.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32So, Rachel...
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I have lots of favourite films.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I'm going to think of one, and you are going to try and read my mind.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- So, at the minute you don't know what my favourite film is, correct?- Mm-hm.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- Got no idea?- No. - Right, let's try this. So...
0:16:47 > 0:16:50What type of movie do you think my favourite film is? What genre?
0:16:50 > 0:16:51Animation.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Animation, good, OK.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56LAUGHTER
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Very good.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59APPLAUSE
0:17:03 > 0:17:06What year do you think my favourite film came out?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- 2013.- 2013.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12OK!
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Amazing stuff, Rachel.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15Let's go for it.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18This is definitely my favourite film.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22What do you think my favourite film is, Rachel?
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Frozen.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26It's Frozen! APPLAUSE
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Rachel, reading minds!
0:17:30 > 0:17:32So, if you haven't seen Frozen, it's great.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34It's the story of two princesses.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39One of them has the power to make snow and sing like a diva!
0:17:39 > 0:17:42It's everything, it's everything I've always wanted to be.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44A princess...
0:17:44 > 0:17:46have the ability to sing...
0:17:46 > 0:17:48and be able to make it snow.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55HE MIMES ALONG: # Let it go
0:17:55 > 0:17:57# Let it go
0:17:57 > 0:18:00# And I'll rise like the break of dawn
0:18:00 > 0:18:03# Let it go, let it go
0:18:03 > 0:18:08# That perfect girl is gone!
0:18:08 > 0:18:11# Here I stand
0:18:11 > 0:18:16# In the light of day
0:18:16 > 0:18:22# Let the storm rage on
0:18:22 > 0:18:25# The cold never bothered me anyway! #
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Thank you very much.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Thank you.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34# Let it go, let it go... #
0:18:34 > 0:18:36I just don't know how he's done it.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38It's quite scary, actually.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Yeah, scary is the word.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43What was really good of getting the girl in the front row
0:18:43 > 0:18:45to read his mind.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46He made it snow.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47It was brilliant.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49All while doing THAT face.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51But, did he impress the other magicians?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Scores out of 10, please.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55He read minds AND he done magic!
0:18:55 > 0:18:56I give Chris...
0:18:56 > 0:18:57an 8.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59I loved it when Chris made it snow indoors,
0:18:59 > 0:19:01so I'm going to give him...
0:19:04 > 0:19:067.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08What's not to love?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10He gets an 8.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11He gets a 7.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14So, that's a star performance for new frontrunner Chris,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16with 30.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Which means he has escaped becoming a human pincushion.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Last up, it's Dee - Gothic horror fan, man of the night,
0:19:21 > 0:19:22and lord of all that is dark.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24I wonder if he's chosen a rom-com(!)
0:19:28 > 0:19:31It's not a massively magical stunt,
0:19:31 > 0:19:36but there is quite a magical moment enshrouded in...
0:19:36 > 0:19:38horror.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Are you a horror fan, Victoria?
0:19:40 > 0:19:44I enjoy them after them - during them, not so much.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46OK. Well, I'm a huge horror fan.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49So, tonight I'm going to give you the opportunity
0:19:49 > 0:19:52to star in your very own horror movie.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53SHE LAUGHS
0:19:53 > 0:19:55We're not going to worry so much about the plot,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57we're just going to worry about the one thing
0:19:57 > 0:19:59that all real horror fans care about.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- The kill scene.- No, no, no. - SHE LAUGHS
0:20:03 > 0:20:06We need to decide on the killer.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10I suppose you're probably wondering what's in the box.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Would you like to slowly open the lid and take a look?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Oh, man.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22What we have here is a collection of old dolls.
0:20:22 > 0:20:28Each one is representative of a famous horror movie monster.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Would you like to take out each one and lay them across the table?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36So we have a clown...
0:20:36 > 0:20:39a vampire...
0:20:39 > 0:20:41a ghost...
0:20:42 > 0:20:44..a mummy...
0:20:44 > 0:20:45a zombie...
0:20:48 > 0:20:51..a werewolf...
0:20:51 > 0:20:52a skeleton...
0:20:52 > 0:20:54and finally, a voodoo doll.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57I'd like you to cast your eyes over all the figures.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02I'd like you to pick up the one that represents best your biggest fear.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06The clown.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Good choice. Victoria, if you could,
0:21:08 > 0:21:12could you hold the doll in front of your face and stare into his eyes?
0:21:12 > 0:21:16I wanted to establish a connection with the doll
0:21:16 > 0:21:19and lock the image of his face into your mind.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22It's creeping me out so much.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Follow me.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30You'll also have noticed I've set up a tent.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33What do you think?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36It'll do for tonight's activities.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Would you like to take a seat on the bench right there in the centre?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46That'll do.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49A bit better. Are you cold?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- A wee bit.- It's a little cold. I've got a blanket. It's fine.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Here you go.- Thank you.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Now...
0:22:10 > 0:22:11it's almost like a night-light.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16I want you to focus on the light...
0:22:17 > 0:22:20..and imagine your nightmares becoming reality.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26From the light, we conjure the dark.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32From the light, we conjure the dark.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36From the light, we conjure the dark!
0:22:36 > 0:22:38From the light, we conjure the dark!
0:22:38 > 0:22:40SHE SQUEALS CLOWN LAUGHS MANIACALLY
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47Sweet dreams.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55Oh, my God. Oh, that just... I'm shaking so much.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57We conjure the dark!
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- SHE SQUEALS - Oh, my God!
0:22:59 > 0:23:02I wanted to be scared by this but the scariest thing was that
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I didn't have any reception on my mobile.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08It was just a shock moment and she loved it, really.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- SHE SQUEALS - Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I just want to go home now.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15As Dee said, she loved it.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18So, what did the other magicians make of Dee's scary clowning around?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I felt like Dee's trick was kind of lost in the woods.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23It's not as bad as a three so I'll give it a...
0:23:23 > 0:23:24five.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26I always think magic should be entertaining, not scary.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I will give it a six.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Dee gets...
0:23:29 > 0:23:31a seven.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Dee's trick was really scary, but I absolutely loved it.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39So I give him a nine.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41So, Dee ties with Ben for the lowest score.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Who will it be feeling the cold steel of those spikes?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48It's time to let the magicians know who is the winner/torturer
0:23:48 > 0:23:50and find out who will face the Table of Death.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53This week's winner with a score of 30 is...
0:23:55 > 0:23:57..Chris!
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- Really?- Yes. Congratulations.- Thank you.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Can you check that's not an admin error?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04The losing score is 27.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06A total achieved by...
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Dee and...
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Oh!
0:24:12 > 0:24:13..Ben.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- ALL:- Oh!
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Because we have a tie, it is down to the winner to decide
0:24:19 > 0:24:22which of the lowest scorers will face the killer trick.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Oh, that's horrible.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25But I'll use the power.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28THEY LAUGH
0:24:28 > 0:24:33I would like to see on the Table of Death...
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Spread-eagled on the table.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- ..Ben Hart. - LAUGHTER
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Table of Death it is.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46I love you still. I still love you.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Whoo! Wa-hey!
0:24:48 > 0:24:50I just don't really... I kind of don't even know what to think.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Like, if this goes wrong, I'm...
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- You're fucked.- Yeah, I'm dead.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59So, it is time for Ben to face this week's killer trick.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03So, I have to escape from the clutches of the Table of Death.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09I'm not really particularly experienced at escaping from things.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I've got a small amount of knowledge but not masses.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14I'm very apprehensive.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17As you can see, we've got some firefighters on hand
0:25:17 > 0:25:18in case things go wrong.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Here it is.- Christ.- Good, isn't it?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- The Table of Death.- OK.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25So, what we've got here is the table.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26CHRIS KNOCKS ON TABLE OK.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30- Up here, the death.- Nice.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I thought they'd be fake.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- I thought they'd be fake as well. - Now, they are...
0:25:35 > 0:25:37They're definitely solid.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39So, here's what's going to happen.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- You'll be lying down here. - OK.- We've got this rope.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- Now, this rope is holding up the death part of the table.- OK.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48I'll pop this candle under the rope, the rope will burn,
0:25:48 > 0:25:51eventually Mr Gravity will do his job and this will come
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- flying towards the bottom of the table.- Nice.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55- Very simple job for you.- Mm-hm.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Before the rope burns out, you've got to get out of there.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02And how do I know how long it would take for the rope to burn through?
0:26:02 > 0:26:03- HE MUMBLES:- I don't know.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- So that's... that's just guesswork.- Yeah.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Like...- Reassuring.- I would imagine, don't dilly-dally with it.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- Just probably get on with it. - OK. So, if this goes wrong...
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- Very much the candle's fault. - I see.- Right, shall we do this?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19The firefighters will check there's no funny business
0:26:19 > 0:26:22and that these are real handcuffs.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- You look... You were terrified. - I'm fucking... I'm fucking terrified.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Do you want to get it over and done with?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Yes, look, I'm offering myself to you.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32All right? On you hop.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Straddle the rope. - OK. Like this?- Yeah.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43I'm going to tie your cuffs to the rope now.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Honestly, I can't get out cuffs without anything.- No, that is true.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48I've got something for you here. A little...
0:26:48 > 0:26:51A little paperclip. So, do you want to open wide?
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- Oh, no.- Yeah. Open and then close.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57There you go. Thumbs up when you're ready.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00OK. See you in a bit.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05- Is that all right?- Yeah, sort of.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07OK.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Here we go.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- The candle is under the rope. Good luck.- Oh, fucking hell.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- OK, right, I'm going for the rope first.- Good.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18What type of knot did you tie?
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- Just like what I do with my shoes. - Hang on.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- Can you tell me what's the candle looking like?- It is...
0:27:25 > 0:27:28That's burning a bit quicker than I thought it would do.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29BEN GRUNTS
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Hang on a second. I need to just...
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Right, that's pretty smoky.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38OK, all right.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41I'm not getting this. Wait. Hang on. We might have to stop.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45That is burning quite a lot now so...
0:27:45 > 0:27:48OK, yeah, all right, OK. OK.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- Is that the rope? - OK, yeah, I'm going onto this.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52- Fucking hell!- Bollocks.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00APPLAUSE
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Well done, Benny.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08You all right?
