0:00:02 > 0:00:05- Five magicians... - Follow me.- ..go head-to-head...
0:00:05 > 0:00:06to find out who is better than the rest.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08LAUGHTER AND SCREAMING
0:00:08 > 0:00:10- So predictable! - No! That's not normal.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12The stakes are deadly, because the loser will face a trick
0:00:12 > 0:00:15that's killed or injured magicians in the past.
0:00:15 > 0:00:20This programme contains some strong language.
0:00:20 > 0:00:21This...is Killer Magic.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24- Cut the power, cut the power! You- BLEEP- kidding me?
0:00:24 > 0:00:28So, let's meet the five magicians trying to out-trick each other.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31First up is a man who's never lost a staring competition -
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Dee Christopher, the Goth.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Pop the bulb inside a bag. If I could ask you
0:00:36 > 0:00:38to hold hands for me? Wonderful.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41'I like my show to feel like a good horror movie.'
0:00:41 > 0:00:44We're going to try and make something amazing
0:00:44 > 0:00:46happen at the moment we make contact and complete the circle.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- OK.- All right?
0:00:48 > 0:00:52The one thing in magic that excites me the most is seeing something new.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- GIRL ON LEFT GASPS - Oh, my God.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- Oh, my God.- That's amazing.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Our next magician is this guy, Damien O'Brien, the geezer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04I'll definitely try and play to the close-up as much as I can,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06cos I know my strengths.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- What was the one playing card you thought of?- Seven of hearts.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14But I will jump out my comfort zone and play with some big boy toys too.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16I'll go down the cards, you can see them.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Right, behind that six, there's one playing card turned over.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Take it out, have a look.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Ho-ho-ho!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26This woman with a flagrant disregard for playing cards is
0:01:26 > 0:01:28the colourfully-coiffed Jasz Vegas,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30our resident bizarre trickstress.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Check out the needle for me. Just take it, check it's real.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Eh, definitely.- I think around all the guys I do get quite competitive,
0:01:37 > 0:01:39but I think that just adds to the fun.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I think you should expect things that are a bit edgy,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45a bit different, I'd like to say maybe beautifully strange.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48I don't think it matters if you're a girl or a guy,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I think what matters is doing great magic.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53This heart-throb is Chris Cox,
0:01:53 > 0:01:54the mind-reading geek.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57I'm going to get you to think of, like, a singer or a band.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58Give me a "la-la-la-la".
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- FLAT:- # La-la-la-la. # - Hold that thought.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03'Hopefully I'm going to make the other magicians laugh a bit,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06'and then be amazed. I love people going,'
0:02:06 > 0:02:08"Ha-ha-ha - oh, my God, how did he do that?"
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- Are you thinking of Queens of the Stone Age?- Yes!- Is that it?!
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Thanks so much. BOTH:- Bye!
0:02:15 > 0:02:17And finally, with his classic good looks,
0:02:17 > 0:02:21it's Ben "the heartbreaker" Hart, our gent.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Erm, I've got a cigarette lighter here.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27They've always got these warning labels on, and they terrify me.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Magic is pretty unique in that anything is possible.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31So I'll remove the label like that...
0:02:31 > 0:02:35So it should be approached with imagination and generosity.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Watch this very, very closely.- No!
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- Nooo!- Yeeees!
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Now, not only will our five magicians be competing,
0:02:45 > 0:02:49they'll also be scoring each other out of ten, all of them
0:02:49 > 0:02:52trying to avoid that Killer Trick, which this week is...
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- The guillotine! La guillotine. ALL:- Ooh...
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I've seen guillotine illusions and I'm always terrified.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Guillotines killed thousands and thousands of people.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06This killer trick is inspired by the French Revolution's
0:03:06 > 0:03:09terrifyingly effective instrument of choice for separating
0:03:09 > 0:03:11posh people from their bonces.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Madame Guillotine.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16So they know what they're trying to avoid -
0:03:16 > 0:03:19all they need now is a theme to base their tricks on.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Let's just hope Chris doesn't sing it.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- # Money, money, mo-ney... # - Oh, dear.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24- JASZ:- # Money! # - No RICH pickings
0:03:24 > 0:03:26for this trick, I would imagine.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27That was a pretty POOR joke.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- Take it, it's yours.- Oh, dear.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I don't think they get out much. Now remember,
0:03:33 > 0:03:35all the magic you're seeing is performed in front of
0:03:35 > 0:03:37real people with real reactions, there are no actors,
0:03:37 > 0:03:41no camera tricks and no CGI - mainly because we couldn't afford any.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42First up it's Damien,
0:03:42 > 0:03:46and he's off down the rub-a-dub to put a Lady Godiva in the slots.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48It's probably best if I let him explain.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51One of my favourite places to come and chill out is the pub,
0:03:51 > 0:03:55and I've got a trick which is very pub-based and my style,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57and I think it's going to be absolutely great
0:03:57 > 0:03:58for the theme of money too.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Cheers.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01OTHERS LAUGH
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Happy days.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I have one bad problem when I come to the pub.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I end up spending more money on them than I do behind the bar
0:04:07 > 0:04:09and having a good time.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11And that being said, got a fiver?
0:04:13 > 0:04:18- Cool, and can you sign your name on the fiver?- Mm-hmm.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Really big.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Rachel?- Yep.- Now that's your £5?- Yep.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- You'd know that if you were to see that again, right?- Yep.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29We're going to go and play the fruit machine.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Oh, shit.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Ah, that fruit machine don't take bank notes.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39LAUGHTER
0:04:39 > 0:04:44And now we get five pound coins. Now we can play the fruit machine!
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Jackpot - 40 quid.- Mm-hmm. - Put all five of them in.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51One, two, three, four...
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Five.- ..five. There we go.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56FRUIT MACHINE JINGLE
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Nothing. Second time.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Oh, third time. Third time lucky.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03HE SNIGGERS
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Go on, again.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Nothing yet. Last time.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Yes! You got three oranges!
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Look at that, a fruit machine that pays out real fruit.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Bring them over here. If you could put your three oranges down?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23And push one forwards.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- OK. Get rid of that one? Is this the one you pushed forward?- Yeah.- OK.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28First orange.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Nothing. Second one.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Nothing.- Mm-hmm.- Third orange.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51If I untwist this slowly...
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Look.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Inside you'll see...
0:05:54 > 0:05:55GASPS AND LAUGHTER
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I don't want to touch it. Slowly pull it out.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Unfold it.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Oh, my God!
0:06:04 > 0:06:09Your £5 that we burnt, what came from the orange from that machine!
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- It went up in flames.- It was gone. - That was kind of scary.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19They went absolutely fucking crazy, didn't they? That was great.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Inside you'll see...
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Reactions like that is why I do magic.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25RACHEL LAUGHS
0:06:25 > 0:06:30- And it's wet of orange.- I can feel the orange juice.- It still stinks.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32That's one way to get your vitamin C.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34There were quite a lot of segments to the trick.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Take it, have it, it's yours.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Ohh!
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Turning the lights out with a high-five could be the best trick of the show.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- Let's get Damien's scores. - New zest, old trick, I give it a...
0:06:47 > 0:06:51I was a big fan of Damien's fruit machine trick, so he gets...
0:06:52 > 0:06:55It was nice to see Damien take a classic of magic
0:06:55 > 0:06:58and make it his own, so I shall give him...
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I enjoyed this trick, I'll give it an eight.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05So that gives Damien a healthy balance of 31.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Next up, it's smooth operator Ben Hart's turn to impress.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14So our theme this week is money, so I thought I'd do a magic trick
0:07:14 > 0:07:17using coins, but where I never touch the coins.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20So I thought I'd try to manipulate objects with my shadows.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22And to help Ben with his manipulation...
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Mm!
0:07:24 > 0:07:26..it's comedian and presenter Joel Dommett.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28So scared right now.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- He knows how to strike a pose.- Yes!
0:07:31 > 0:07:36- Joel, I've invited you here, into my brain.- It's nice. Sparse.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I don't know what they're doing in here. They're squatting, I think.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Will you have a look at those coins for me? Check they are normal coins.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45They are old, they are silver coins.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- Yep, this is an American half dollar.- That is true.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53OK, if it's OK, I'd like you to sort of kneel down with me.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- We've brought a rug for it.- Oh, well, if you've brought a rug then fine!
0:07:57 > 0:08:02Oh, God. Now, guys behind me, gather round. Come on, don't be shy.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Now, before I go any further, Joel,
0:08:03 > 0:08:07could you check there's nothing sticky on my hands?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- There is nothing sticky on his hands.- Makes a change.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12And there's nothing up my sleeves.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I'm going to attempt to move the coins using just
0:08:16 > 0:08:18the shadows of my hands. Just the shadows.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22HE WHISTLES
0:08:22 > 0:08:24And that coin goes from there to there.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25HE WHISTLES
0:08:25 > 0:08:27And it goes from here to here.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29HE WHISTLES From here to here.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31HE WHISTLES From here to here.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33HE WHISTLES From here to here.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34- That's brilliant.- Let's stand up,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37cos it's hurting my knees. I'm going to take it a step further.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- I've got a pen here.- Mm-hmm.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Conveniently, there's four letters in your name.- There is.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45And would you write one of the letters on each coin for me?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48But try and make it distinctive so that you'll recognise it
0:08:48 > 0:08:51when you see it again. Put 'em together, what have you got?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- BOTH:- Jelo!
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Right, Joel, could you hold on to those?- Thank you.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I'm going to move the light now.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04- Over here. Hope you can still see.- Yes.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Are you ready for this, Joel? - Born ready, mate.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Crikey. - The reason for these tweezers is
0:09:11 > 0:09:14so I don't get accused of sexual molestation, because...
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I don't know why, this is the bit where I'd get accused.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Yeah, yeah, yeah. When you're undoing my buttons.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- Cos I'm going to put one coin in each of your four pockets.- OK.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Right, Joel, we'll start with the J, going to go in here,
0:09:28 > 0:09:29I hope I don't hit you in the face.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Oh, oh... We made contact there. - We made contact.- In there.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37And another 50 cents in here. What you going to spend that one on?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- A 50 Cent album. - Oh, nice!- Very clever.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43And an E, if you could raise your arm for me.
0:09:43 > 0:09:49- Oh... I thought I'd pinched your skin then.- No.- The last one is your L.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Stick the L in here.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53And now, you know I can't use sleight of hand,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55because those four coins are in your four pockets.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58But I'm going to attempt to use sleight of shadow. I love the magician's pose.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- LAUGHTER - Is this...?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I look pretty comfortable, right?
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- Oh, my God.- Be natural. - Is the magic happening yet?
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Now watch. Stay very, very still. You may even feel this.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Oh, crikey.- I'm going to attempt to take the first coin.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Using just my shadows.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18HE WHISTLES To here.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22LAUGHTER I'll make the next coin...
0:10:22 > 0:10:24travel from here...
0:10:24 > 0:10:26HE WHISTLES ..to here.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I'll make the last coin travel from here...
0:10:30 > 0:10:31HE WHISTLES
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Go inside your pocket, it's vanished.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- Completely gone?- It's gone, mate. - And it's going to travel over...
0:10:41 > 0:10:43..to here. HE WHISTLES
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Go inside your pocket, take out al four coins.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47We should have them all, the J, the O, the E and the L.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49What?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- One...- That's the J.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Two.- Is that the L?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- O.- The E!
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- There's an E.- There we go - Joel!
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Yes! We did it!
0:11:06 > 0:11:12Trying to figure it out. Like... He was all in different pockets.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I'm just... I think... I feel a bit weird...
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I feel a bit weird about it.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Wee-wee-wee...
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I'm pretty sure that went well enough for me to avoid the Killer Trick.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I wasn't very excited about the idea of getting my head
0:11:25 > 0:11:26chopped off by a guillotine.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29I thought it was really great, it was amazing,
0:11:29 > 0:11:30and I'm...kind of confused.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33A lovely bit of sleight-of-hand magic from Ben,
0:11:33 > 0:11:35it was amazing to watch.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39I don't really... I don't trust... I don't trust the world any more.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Scores then, please.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Not since Cliff Richard has anyone done
0:11:43 > 0:11:44anything as good with The Shadows.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- I'll give it an eight. - I'll give him a...
0:11:48 > 0:11:49He gets an eight.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Ben's trick was really impressive, so I'm going to give it...
0:11:57 > 0:12:00So, with high scores all round, Ben leapfrogs Damien into
0:12:00 > 0:12:02first place with an impressive score of 32.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Next up, it's Dee, the Goth, but will his money-themed
0:12:05 > 0:12:07magic trick keep him away from the guillotine?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I'm talking about alchemy going back to the times where
0:12:10 > 0:12:12they were trying to turn lead into gold.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Got me thinking about mixology, cocktail making,
0:12:14 > 0:12:18so I'm bringing the people to a cocktail bar to show them
0:12:18 > 0:12:22my own kind of cocktail, I guess, a cocktail of mystery.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Have any of you guys heard of alchemy?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28The definition is "the profound art of taking base substances
0:12:28 > 0:12:31"and changing them into precious metals."
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- So lead to gold, et cetera. - How very educational.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39Fire...was often used as the catalyst for these experiments,
0:12:39 > 0:12:43where they'd take something worthless...
0:12:45 > 0:12:47..and change it...
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- Whoa.- ..into something...
0:12:53 > 0:12:54..very precious.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I've got a silver ring here.
0:12:59 > 0:13:07It's my understanding that perhaps if I was to heat up the metal...
0:13:07 > 0:13:09and melt it down...
0:13:09 > 0:13:11What the fuck?!
0:13:12 > 0:13:16..we could potentially analyse the solution
0:13:16 > 0:13:18and figure out a way to replicate it.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23For instance, uh... we could use a straw.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28If I was to take a drop of this. Just a single drop.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31That'll do.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35And try and cool it down.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43We should be able to solidify it...
0:13:45 > 0:13:46..into something new.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49BEARDED MAN LAUGHS
0:13:49 > 0:13:54But, you know, these old-fashioned silver coins are no good to us,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57they're not accepted here as currency anyway, so to have the
0:13:57 > 0:14:01maximum get out of this you'd have to really deposit it in the bank.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03What the fuck?!
0:14:05 > 0:14:09It's all about the plastic these days.
0:14:09 > 0:14:15I have a pen here, would you like to click that and sign your name?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Are you going to use this against me?- I'd never dream of such a thing.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Wow. Congratulations, David,
0:14:23 > 0:14:27you've just signed yourself into five grand's worth of debt.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30There is one problem with this situation,
0:14:30 > 0:14:34and that's that nobody really cracked the code to alchemy.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Or if they did, the secrets remained well-hidden.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48So that means that everything you've seen today was simply...an illusion.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Ohh...
0:14:54 > 0:14:59Fear not, sometimes reality is sweeter.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02You signed your name on a credit card.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Yep.- I placed it into an envelope and it inexplicably vanished.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07It's now appeared...
0:15:11 > 0:15:16..in a very safe place. Inside the zipper compartment...
0:15:16 > 0:15:21- of my wallet.- ..in his pocket!
0:15:21 > 0:15:23If my memory serves me correctly,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26David, I believe this debt belongs to you.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33As an audience, they didn't really know what to expect,
0:15:33 > 0:15:37so when there was the big flash of fire and the silver leaf appeared,
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- they were hooked from there. - Insane. I don't...
0:15:41 > 0:15:46His hands didn't go in his pocket, it's like... I don't understand!
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I don't understand how he did it.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50I absolutely loved Dee's trick, it was charming,
0:15:50 > 0:15:52it was skilled, it was amazing.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55It was really good solid magic that took advantage of
0:15:55 > 0:15:58different textures, there was plastic and metal...
0:15:58 > 0:16:00It ticked all the boxes for me.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Thumbs up, I think it went pretty well.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06So let's see how his competitors scored him.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09I think Dee's trick was so amazing, so I'm going to give him a...
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I liked Dee's trick, but I'm going to give him...
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Dee got amazing reactions, but the trick wasn't golden for me,
0:16:20 > 0:16:21so he gets...
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I didn't think Dee was being himself.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Strong trick, but I'll only give it a seven.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30So, Dee scores 31, still a big total, but at the moment it
0:16:30 > 0:16:32puts him in line for the chopping block,
0:16:32 > 0:16:33tied in last place with Damien.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Time now for our mind-reading magician Chris Cox to wow us
0:16:38 > 0:16:41with his money-themed trick, and look, he's celebrating
0:16:41 > 0:16:43a made-up birthday with a bunch of people he doesn't know.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- What a turn out.- Pink top!
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I can't believe you're here, I haven't seen you in literally ever!
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Birthdays always mean one thing to me - money!
0:16:51 > 0:16:55He's asking his rent-a-crowd group of strangers to pick out a card
0:16:55 > 0:16:58and scribble in their own unique birthday message.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02My name's Chris. So "To Chris", "Dear Chris", anything like that.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04My surname's Cox, do with that what you want.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06LAUGHTER Now, one of you,
0:17:06 > 0:17:07let's have a look.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09You've got good-looking shoes, I think
0:17:09 > 0:17:10that means you've got a bit of cash.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- Have you got some money on you? - Ehh, a wee bit.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16All right, will you give me a birthday treat of a bit of cash?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I promise you'll get it back - in as much cheese
0:17:19 > 0:17:21and pineapple from the hedgehog as you want. It's a good deal.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- Sounds like a fair deal. - Happy with that?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26You can go first, head on over to the cards, pick out your card,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29and then write me out a nice little message,
0:17:29 > 0:17:31put the money in the card and the money in the envelope.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34I'll stand over here so I can't see what you're doing.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37And then pop onto a table and write me a nice little message,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40jokey insult if you want, and pop your money in it and tell me
0:17:40 > 0:17:41when you're done.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- That's me.- Yep? Next person, if you want to go over.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46OK, next person, off you go.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Only one of the cards contains a bank note,
0:17:48 > 0:17:50but with loads of identical envelopes,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53can Chris use his skill to find the one that contains the money?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Perfect. Can you go through the cards
0:17:55 > 0:17:57and make sure they're all sealed down?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59And then give them a bit of a mix for me.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Bring the cards over to me and then rejoin your group. Thank you.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05So one of these cards now has the money in it.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11No money! Not a happy birthday for me.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Do you want to take that and stand over here for me? Next one.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15No money! Not a happy birthday for me.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Come and stand over here for me. Come on down.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22That is not the smell of cash, that is the smell of disappointment!
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Not a happy birthday - next one. No, not a happy birthday.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Mmm, maybe a happy birthday.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Definitely not a happy birthday.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Not a happy birthday.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Not a happy birthday!
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Not a happy birthday. I think that's the happy birthday with the money there.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45- Come and join me over here.- You do?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48So I think that's the envelope with the cash, I think
0:18:48 > 0:18:50these are the eight envelopes with no cash.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53On the count of three, open your envelopes, throw it on the floor,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55check there's no cash inside and hold your card in front of you.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Are you ready? Not you. One, two, three!
0:18:59 > 0:19:03No cash, no cash, no cash, anyone got any money? There's no birthday money!
0:19:03 > 0:19:05OK, hold your cards in front of you.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08so, by process of elimination, we've found the card with money in it.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11So I think you have written in your card...
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Not "Dear Chris", I think you wrote "To Chris", is that right?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Yeah.- There's no way I know what you've written,
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- it just came into your mind as you were sat writing it, yeah?- Yeah.
0:19:20 > 0:19:27I think you wished me not a happy birthday, but a pleasant birthday.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- "Kind regards, Tom."- Yeah. - Is that what you wrote?- Yeah!
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- Yes, it is.- There's something more though, isn't there?
0:19:33 > 0:19:35You drew a little picture, yes?
0:19:35 > 0:19:36LAUGHTER
0:19:36 > 0:19:40I don't think it's a cock and balls, I think it's a picture of me,
0:19:40 > 0:19:41did you draw a picture of me in it, Tom?
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- Well, I tried my best, but it's pretty bad.- It's pretty bad.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48And did you select an eight-year-old birthday card?
0:19:48 > 0:19:49- I think so.- Yes! Will you show everyone
0:19:49 > 0:19:51the eight-year-old birthday card
0:19:51 > 0:19:53and inside it I think Tom put a £20 note.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Here we go, it's the eight-year-old birthday card.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59"To Chris, have a pleasant birthday", and there's the picture of me.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02"Kind regards, Tom." And there's the twen...
0:20:02 > 0:20:03MUSIC CUTS OUT Oh!
0:20:03 > 0:20:06A tenner?! Is that all this is worth?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08This is an expensive spread,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I've paid you all more than that to be here!
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- Ten quid, Tom...- Take it or leave it.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14LAUGHTER
0:20:14 > 0:20:16You hang on to it a second,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- that's your tenner that you put in for me, yeah?- Mm-hmm.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Tom, every note in the world is unique,
0:20:21 > 0:20:24cos they've all got serial numbers on them.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Let me have a little look
0:20:25 > 0:20:27at the serial number, come and stand next to me here.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30And will you, nice and loud, it's printed here,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32give me the first number?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- Six.- Good. And now the next number.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Nine.- Is the next number a seven?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- Yes, it is.- And then the next one?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Five.- Yep?- Nine.- Yep?- Four.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Uh-huh?- Five, three.- Yeah!
0:20:46 > 0:20:49It's my birthday. I'll look after that, that's my birthday money.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Shower me in glory, let's party!
0:20:52 > 0:20:55CHEERING, HE BLOWS PARTY HORN
0:20:55 > 0:20:56Pump up the beats, DJ!
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Eh, that was pretty crazy, I thought
0:21:00 > 0:21:05he'd messed up at one point with getting £20 instead of £10.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10- Ohh! A tenner?!- It was definitely the well shittest birthday party,
0:21:10 > 0:21:11but it was a good trick!
0:21:11 > 0:21:13There was quite a few cards up there,
0:21:13 > 0:21:17there's only one bank note that has those numbers in
0:21:17 > 0:21:21the entire world in that order, so it was a good trick.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23How...? How do you...?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25LAUGHTER
0:21:25 > 0:21:27To know what the other magicians think about this,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29you'd have to be some sort of mind-reader.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- Wait, what?- Well, let's find out.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33There was a bit too much going on for me,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35so Chris gets...
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I'm going to give it...
0:21:40 > 0:21:42I'm giving him a...
0:21:44 > 0:21:45I was sorely disappointed
0:21:45 > 0:21:48when I realised there was no whisky at Chris' party.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51So I've given him a seven.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Oh, dear, the magicians have given Chris a party-poopoing 28,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56putting his delicate head directly in line for the chop.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Next up, it's Jasz, and she's hoping to impress with her
0:22:01 > 0:22:03money trick at this shop of curiosities.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Lots of nice stuff, fancy one of them myself.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08For my trick this week I'm going to be printing money.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10I mean, who wouldn't want to print money?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13She's roped in a couple of bankers for her trick.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15No, really, they are bankers.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19If my printed money can fool bankers, then it can fool anyone.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22And she plans to use some sort of magical forgery machine
0:22:22 > 0:22:24that she's discovered.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Sort of looks a bit like a pasta maker.- Yes.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32- Have you ever made pasta before? - Yes, boiling water.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36I have some paper here, worthless piece of blank paper,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38can you have a look at that?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40It's definitely paper.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42So what would be the most amazing thing
0:22:42 > 0:22:44I could do with this piece of paper?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Careful.- If it turned into a tenner and ended up in my pocket.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Turning it into money is actually quite a good idea, I think
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- I might give that a go.- OK.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Pop this in.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- Oh...- Impressive.- Have a look.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07- "Bank of Magic."- Oh, it's only printed one side.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11I'll pop that in there. We'll turn the machine down slightly.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Let's go to 20, they're much easier to shift.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Take another piece of paper.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Printing's quite difficult to do,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21you've got to put it in really straight to get it lined up,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23so if I put it in slightly off, it doesn't work.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24I'm going to show you.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- Hmm, OK.- Oh, both sides.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31I mean, it looks a bit dodgy,
0:23:31 > 0:23:35but there is a way to make this much more convincing.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39- Take your word for it.- Just going to use this to adjust the machine.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40If I just tweak it like so.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43Then...
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Hopefully it will work better now.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49So we've got another piece of paper now, as you can see.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52And I want to mark it. Can you look in this drawer for me?
0:23:52 > 0:23:53There should be some inks, I think.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- Yep.- Yeah, just pick out a colour.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01- Red, fantastic. Can I borrow your thumb?- Which one?
0:24:01 > 0:24:04LAUGHTER This one will do.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05OK.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08And just pop that on there.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13This brings back memories. SHE LAUGHS
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Thank you.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20If I just run it through...
0:24:24 > 0:24:26BANKERS LAUGH
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- Check it out, check it's real. - Wow, that's pretty good.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31He's never held one of them before.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Yeah, check the watermark.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35If I get caught with this...
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- Oh, very good. - ..it's got your thumbprint on it.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- Can I spend it?- No.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43THEY LAUGH
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Pop this in.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50- Fantastic.- Amazing, actually. - Great way to make money.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52"Bank of Magic."
0:24:52 > 0:24:55I started off with fun, silly £10,000 notes
0:24:55 > 0:24:57and then went to real money.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04I didn't expect Jasz Vegas to be a criminal, make counterfeit money.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06She seemed so sweet and innocent.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08But was the trick on the money?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Hands up who liked the trick.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13LAUGHTER
0:25:13 > 0:25:16So what did the other magicians make of the trick?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18It was a magical machine, but sadly for me,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21not a very magical performance, so I'll give it a six.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25It wasn't bad but it wasn't on the money. I'd give it five.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27It gets...
0:25:27 > 0:25:29a six.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31It's nice to see Jasz's bad girl side come out,
0:25:31 > 0:25:35so for that reason I shall give her a nine.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Even with Dee's generous scoring,
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Jasz's money-themed trick has gone into negative equity with 26,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43so we have a winner and more importantly a loser.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Off with their head!
0:25:45 > 0:25:47It's time for them to discover their fate.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48The scores are in.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54This week's winning magician is...
0:25:54 > 0:25:55HE TAPS ON DESK
0:25:55 > 0:25:57..Ben Hart Throb.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Thank you. That surprised me frankly. It was a good week.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Strong week.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07And...our loser this week is...
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Young Jasz Vegas.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14You're going to possibly die!
0:26:17 > 0:26:21This is what's going to be the scene of your death.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Look at that, she's put her hair up especially.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25She shouldn't have bothered.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28It's completely based on the original guillotines used in France.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33You're going to kneel down, stick your head through the hole.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36I'm going to pull the cord which will drop the blade,
0:26:36 > 0:26:39which will pass down at terrifying speed,
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- you will be completely unharmed. - And I'll be fine, yeah?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- You promise?- Fresh as a daisy.- OK.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47She sounds convinced, and just in case anything goes wrong,
0:26:47 > 0:26:50we've invited a highly visible ambulance crew along.
