0:00:02 > 0:00:04Prepare to enter a world of magic,
0:00:04 > 0:00:06where nothing is quite what it seems.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09No! I say no.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10I say no!
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Tonight, you'll see illusions in malls,
0:00:13 > 0:00:15stumbles and falls...
0:00:16 > 0:00:19..and a magician getting a dent in his...pride.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23You'll also see a hedgehog wearing a hat.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26- 21.- I tell you what, do you... You take card, right?
0:00:26 > 0:00:27Welcome to Now You See It.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31You're going to hurt yourself.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44First, Harry Potter and the boring old stick.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Avada Kedavra! - CROWD GASPS
0:00:46 > 0:00:48OK...
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Meanwhile, in a toy shop far, far away...
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Let's see you, buddy.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57I don't care if you are a Jedi Knight -
0:00:57 > 0:01:00all breakages must be paid for.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02And in a galaxy far, far closer to home,
0:01:02 > 0:01:06give the pinata a thwack and make sweets magically appear.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07All right, go ahead.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10MAN GROANS
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Or, more fun - give Dad a thwack and see his smile magically disappear.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Here's Troy, one of the bravest magicians around.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Why? Take a look at this.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Obviously, we're here to support Arsenal
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- and beat our rival team.- Tottenham.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27There we go, you don't want to say the name?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- How long you been a fan for? - Many, many years.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33How much would it cost me to get you in a Tottenham shirt?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Ain't going to happen, mate. Ain't going to happen.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Get out of it. - Not even a Tottenham badge?- No!
0:01:38 > 0:01:40You'll probably hate this, then.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45You were right, Troy. He does hate it.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- I'll make it up to you, I'll get you another pint.- Please do, yeah.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Ah, basketball - or, as I like to call it,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59netball for people with too much energy.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02This is Andrew Michael Golden, misspending his youth.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05The only thing spinning faster than that anti-gravity ball
0:02:05 > 0:02:07is Sir Isaac Newton in his grave.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16I wonder how many windows he broke before he got that one right.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22This guy's not practised as much -
0:02:22 > 0:02:25although that person he hit is called Annette.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35They spent the whole summer practising
0:02:35 > 0:02:37and failed all their exams -
0:02:37 > 0:02:39but boy, was it worth it!
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I've got a present, OK? I wrapped it earlier.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46This is for you, Gabrielle...
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Here's brilliant Aussie magician James Galea
0:02:48 > 0:02:51with some miraculous mind reading.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54What I'm going to get you to do is to think of any movie, OK?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57But as I said, just limit it to one in the store.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00OK, it's your turn, we're going to see if this works.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02What I'm going to get, um...
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I'm going to get you to make it even harder for me.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08We're going to think of every movie that's ever been made.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Let's work on yours, first.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15What's the movie you're thinking of?
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Forrest Gump.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Open up the present.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29It couldn't be...
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Forrest Gump.- You're kidding! Oh, you got to give him a clap.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36APPLAUSE
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Got to give it a clap.- Got to give that a clap.- There you go.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I don't know, look, you're thinking of a movie too, aren't you?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Yeah, I certainly am, yes.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Is there any possible way I could know the movie you're thinking of?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51No, impossible. You couldn't. You couldn't.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- No way.- Open up the DVD, mate.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57What's the movie you're thinking of?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- You want me to tell you?- Yeah. - The Usual Suspects.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Mate, how on Earth did you do that?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Oh, my God, I feel sick. How did you do that?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- That is unbelievable! - 'Oh, I don't know.'
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I often find the wrong DVD in the box when I get home.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15So annoying.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Time now for...
0:04:22 > 0:04:23This week's golden rule -
0:04:23 > 0:04:27when performing with a child, always stand at arm's length.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33You got a small head.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39It wouldn't be so bad, but that's where he keeps his doves.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Golden rule number two -
0:04:44 > 0:04:47a great magic trick requires speed and dexterity...
0:04:48 > 0:04:51..or at the very least, the ability to unfold a sheet.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57It's important to build up a sense of anticipation...
0:04:58 > 0:05:02..but try and get round to doing the trick at some point.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Seamless -
0:05:06 > 0:05:08the sheet, not the performance.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Good evening, ladies and gentlemen...
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Now, here's Boris Johnson, who's bananas...
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Oh, sorry. Here's Boris Johnson, whose bananas are going to explode.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Bananas, detonator.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Detonator, bananas.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Bananas...
0:05:31 > 0:05:34To be fair, two big explosions and his wig stayed on -
0:05:34 > 0:05:36that's an achievement.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Meanwhile, in magical Hertfordshire,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43an incredibly high-risk stunt is about to take place.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46It's time to for the magic of DMC.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Joining DMC, it's Belinda Challis, a top motorsport professional.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57You'll see at the far end of the runway, we have two paper screens.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00One with the cross and one with the circle.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03In a moment, I'm going to have you get inside your car,
0:06:03 > 0:06:05I'm going to have you look at both symbols
0:06:05 > 0:06:08and I'm going to have you think of one of the symbols,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- just in your head.- Mm-hmm.- OK.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11When you've done that,
0:06:11 > 0:06:15I'm going to ask you to drive through that screen.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19There is one thing you need to know.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21You won't know which one,
0:06:21 > 0:06:27but I'm going to go and stand behind one of the two screens.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- All right.- Oh, good. No pressure then, Belinda(!)
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- That's it. I'm going to go and get ready.- Good luck.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Yeah, good luck. Hope I don't run you over.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37If we could please put the screen into position.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39They're blindfolding the car,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41so it can't tell Belinda which screen DMC's gone behind.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Could you please confirm that you cannot see me from where you are?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48I wonder if Belinda's wishing she'd applied to be on Antiques Road Trip instead?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50And Belinda, you have no idea which of the two screens
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I'm standing behind, correct?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Nope, I haven't got a clue. - No more contact.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57ENGINE REVS
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Three, two, one...
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Oh, and Belinda,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06if you want to change your mind once you've set off, you can.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Go.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I'm sorry, I can't resist saying it.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26When else am I going to get the chance?
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Run, DMC!
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Phew!
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Nice that DMC checks his suit's unblemished -
0:07:34 > 0:07:36the first thing we'd all do.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38He should check round the back as well, though.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Thank God. Good choice.- 'Amazing trick, but here's an almighty twist.'
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Belinda, let me show you something.
0:07:46 > 0:07:53Behind this screen, we have a ten foot, five tonne concrete wall.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Come and have a look. Have a look.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59You could've driven into that, Belinda!
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Whoa!- 'Quite.'
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Ross from Friends seems to be attempting
0:08:05 > 0:08:09to put his trousers on, blindfolded, and without the use of his hands.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Here we go.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22That calls for a terrible celebratory dance move.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Ever wondered what your dad does when he's in the garage?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Well, it's probably not this.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30This is what X Men would've looked like
0:08:30 > 0:08:33if it was filmed in an old farmhouse with no budget.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36It's the tireless Franz Harary,
0:08:36 > 0:08:39showing us how those really big online deliveries are made.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41And just like those online companies,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Franz can make your packages completely disappear,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46with absolutely no explanation.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Watch.- The key to this trick is to always keep your eye on the box.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53I did say...
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Meanwhile, Fergus Flanagan's about to do a trick
0:08:56 > 0:08:59involving a different sort of cube - a Rubik's cube.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01He's going to turn back time to 1983,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03when people thought they were fun.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05So, you can't give me any tips?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I'm really struggling. Every time I mix it up more,
0:09:08 > 0:09:10it just gets... Well, obviously, more and more mixed.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I did see a guy actually, now that I think about it, once -
0:09:13 > 0:09:14and he did it really quick.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18He literally took the cube, shook it and then the whole thing was done.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21But I can't do...
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Who would've guessed that
0:09:29 > 0:09:32these two flamboyantly dressed individuals were pranksters?
0:09:32 > 0:09:33I know!
0:09:33 > 0:09:35And yet, passers-by are completely fooled
0:09:35 > 0:09:38into having a go at limbo dancing, blindfolded.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Limbo!
0:09:40 > 0:09:44So they can't see that our two friends have, in fact, run away.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Limbo time!
0:09:48 > 0:09:51They've literally been left in limbo.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15She's still going. How wide did she think the stick was?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Magicians as office pranksters now - and here's a new boy
0:10:21 > 0:10:23being told to get some chocolate for the very angry boss.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Do you understand? A candy bar!
0:10:25 > 0:10:28What am I missing on the table, also? You know...
0:10:28 > 0:10:30No! The vending machine isn't working properly!
0:10:30 > 0:10:32That's such bad luck.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Normally, vending machines are so completely reliable(!)
0:10:35 > 0:10:36No, it's all right.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41Luckily, undercover magician Jason Neistadt is there to lend a hand...
0:10:44 > 0:10:46..and an incredibly long arm.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48I got it.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Oh, my God!
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I got it, I got it, I got it.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56He's got to, he's like diabetic and stuff and he's got...
0:10:59 > 0:11:00Remember GloZell?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02She of the green lipstick and calm reaction
0:11:02 > 0:11:04to the sudden appearance of a spider?
0:11:04 > 0:11:08I told you not to do that! I told you not to do that!
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Well, she's back - with magician Chris Ballinger.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12It's totally fine.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16So, if you could do me a favour and just touch any one of the cards...
0:11:16 > 0:11:19This one right here? Can you say it out loud for the camera?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- This one right here... - Is...?- ..is a jack of hearts.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Jack of hearts. We'll leave it right where it is.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- So, he know my card. - OK, so you're seeing it live.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Yes.- They're seeing it on the screen.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Wouldn't it be a little more fair if you saw it through the screen?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Wouldn't that be more fair? - I don't wear glasses.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36But I've got a screen right here, it's just a little piece of plastic
0:11:36 > 0:11:38and you can see the cards through it, right?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- Can they see it? - They'll be able to see it.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43We're just going to put the little screen right here.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- OK.- Just like this, so you can see the cards through the screen.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- Yeah.- OK. Watch.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Oh, my gosh, what's going to happen? No, it's going to explode.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- Oh, no! It... - CHOKING LAUGHTER
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Imagine her reaction if it had exploded,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03rather than just changed to the colour green?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Although, something tells me that green might be her favourite colour.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09But you're seeing it through the screen.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12It'd be better if you didn't see it through the screen at all.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14What in the world? No.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16No! I say no!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Every single...- I say no!
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- I think she's saying no. - No, no, it's OK.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23I think this might be... What was your card?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26It was the jack of hearts. No! Don't turn it over.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- It's the jack of...- No!- That's the jack of hearts.- No, I say!
0:12:29 > 0:12:33All the other cards are green, except for the jack of hearts.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34It's...
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Giant pencil, or tiny hands? Hmm, hard to tell.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Good?- Ah, not quite. Try it again.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Hold up, one sec.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55All right.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Quick, draw an ambulance!
0:13:03 > 0:13:06How many times do I have to say it?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- What is this?!- I'm sorry? - We've seen magicians bend phones.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16We've seen them wrap phones up and magic them into jars of gherkins.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- They will stop at nothing. - OK, right, watch.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22This magician loves nothing more than to make someone think
0:13:22 > 0:13:24he's ruined their phone by accident.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Hold on a sec. My... Aargh, my thumb! I got cramp on my thumb.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Oh, no!
0:13:30 > 0:13:33And after a perfectly executed wind-up,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36it's important to distract your victim, so they don't get too upset.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- Oh! - LAUGHTER
0:13:39 > 0:13:41That should do it.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Here's another one -
0:13:45 > 0:13:48taking advantage of good-natured members of the public
0:13:48 > 0:13:49by asking to borrow their phone,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52only to apparently smash it on the pavement.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56The key to pulling this off successfully
0:13:56 > 0:13:58is to drop a dummy handset, then to quickly show them
0:13:58 > 0:14:00it was just sleight of hand and their phone is fine.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- Oh, yeah, yeah for sure. - Oh, thank you so... - MAGICIAN GASPS
0:14:09 > 0:14:11But this is a smart magician.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Thank you so... MAGICIAN GASPS
0:14:13 > 0:14:17He also makes sure everyone he picks on is quite a lot smaller than him.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- It's here. - Oh, right, all right, all right!
0:14:23 > 0:14:24LAUGHTER
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Now, in my best - not very good - American accent,
0:14:29 > 0:14:30it's time to say...
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Magician Matt Ricardo spent years perfecting this skill,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39only to discover there's absolutely no call for it whatsoever.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Master the fiendishly difficult art of yo-yo
0:14:45 > 0:14:48and you could end up on stage.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Bit of an up and down sort of career, though -
0:14:50 > 0:14:52and not always in the way you'd think.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58But it is important to keep practising,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00if you want to keep your hand in...
0:15:03 > 0:15:05..and your nose out.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Still to come, your chance to discover what happens
0:15:08 > 0:15:10when Dynamo takes his nan shopping...
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Oh!
0:15:12 > 0:15:14..how this trick is actually done
0:15:14 > 0:15:18and what sort of food is brought back to life in a restaurant.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20SCREAMING
0:15:20 > 0:15:23And in our big finish, Hans Klok is at the World Magic Awards,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25looking to make a big splash.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Shall we take a look at some... MEL GROWLS
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Here's a hedgehog that really wants to be a magician's rabbit.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46One day, if he keeps practising,
0:15:46 > 0:15:49he'll get the hang of popping out of a hat - one day.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53But not today.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Meanwhile, this rabbit's thinking,
0:15:54 > 0:15:57"That hedgehog's pinched my hat again."
0:15:57 > 0:16:00So, he does his "rabbit vanishing off bed" trick instead.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03All right. You're going to hurt yourself. OK!
0:16:03 > 0:16:06But let's stay with rabbits and ask the big question...
0:16:09 > 0:16:11This week, Debbie, dressed as a rabbit,
0:16:11 > 0:16:13has had trouble getting it out.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- I couldn't get it out.- Pardon? - LAUGHTER
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Join us next time
0:16:18 > 0:16:21to see what Debbie does when she finally gets it out -
0:16:21 > 0:16:23before, hopefully, she pops it back in again.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Here's Men In Coats.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I wondered what Noel and Liam were doing these days.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Oh, hang on - Liam's got something in his eye.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36They've got more tricks
0:16:36 > 0:16:40than you can shake a carefully concealed massive stick at.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Moving on now, to some levitation.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Is there nothing these guys can't do?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Oh, yes - levitation.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Mind you, no-one ever said levitation is easy.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21It's a delicate blend of skill, balance, grace...
0:17:21 > 0:17:25and the ability to hold two big shoes on the end of two big sticks.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Aren't mannequins lifelike these days?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Oh, hang on - it's magician Billy Kidd,
0:17:32 > 0:17:36hanging out in a shop window, waiting for some passers-by.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Hope she doesn't try this in Amsterdam.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Hmm. In my experience, asking a man to pick a card whilst out shopping
0:17:42 > 0:17:45ends with him having a breakdown in Clintons.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49OK, he's picked the two of clubs.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51By the way, little tip for you - not only is this a great trick,
0:17:51 > 0:17:55it's also the safest way to perform magic during a flu epidemic.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Right, she's made a little bit of a mess of the window display.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05But all is forgiven, because that was impressive.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06What?! No way!
0:18:15 > 0:18:19If you can do this trick, you're going to have money to burn.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Yep, thought so.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24But be careful - money doesn't grow on trees, you know.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I stand corrected.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Or is that just a plant?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35And the theme continues in pocket money magic
0:18:35 > 0:18:37with David Meade - who, despite appearances,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- isn't a mortgage advisor. - So, do you both have money?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Yep.- Both have money. Coins?- Yes. - OK, do me a favour, Stephen.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44If you take out all of the coins that you have,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I'm going to turn away, so that I can't see them.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Happy?- Happy. - Safe for me to turn around?- Happy.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51OK, so, I'm going to give you some instructions
0:18:51 > 0:18:54and it's important that you follow them very carefully.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56In a few moments, you toss them up into the air, I'm going to try
0:18:56 > 0:18:59and take a snap shot and get as close as I possibly can
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- to working out how many are there. Happy?- Yep.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Right. so just stretch both your hands out for me.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06After three.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09One, two, three...
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Go, go!
0:19:10 > 0:19:15Uh, it's, uh... 11, 22, 20...
0:19:15 > 0:19:16£11.29. £11.29.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Do you know how much is here, how much this is?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- No, I don't know. - OK. Well, you count this for me.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24So, count it over here. And count it out loud.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27£9. £9.
0:19:28 > 0:19:3010...
0:19:30 > 0:19:3311... 20... £11.29.
0:19:33 > 0:19:3529? Is it? Definitely 29?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38And for his next trick involving loose change on a pool table,
0:19:38 > 0:19:39David's going to pocket it.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43But it's not all pool halls and 20p pieces
0:19:43 > 0:19:45in the glamorous world of magic.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46SCREAMS
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Here's a magician that's quite simply rubbish.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53G'day. My name's Richie and this is the garbage bag scare prank.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59He's always upsetting the neighbours,
0:19:59 > 0:20:01especially when he puts himself out on a Tuesday,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04instead of on a Thursday. Oh, it drives them mad!
0:20:07 > 0:20:10And now, the first in what's going to be a series of one...
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Here with the first and last in the series, Dynamo and his nan Nellie.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Dynamo's taking Nanny Nellie to do her weekly shop.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- Some chopped tomatoes. - Chopped tomatoes, all right.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- Steak and kidney. - Steak and kidney, all right.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34No, I want... Oh, wait a minute.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Yeah, I want that sort up there. That one there? All right. Yeah.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Oh! Yeah.- There you go.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Two tins.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- Irish stew?- Uh, no, I don't want Irish stew, no. Steak and kidney.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Oh, that's it, yeah. That's pretty good.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Nellie's seen it all before, hasn't she?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58But check out Dynamo when they get to the checkout.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Get your money out, then the lass could be doing it.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Calm your horses!
0:21:03 > 0:21:05How much is it?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07You won't have enough with that, I'll tell you now, mate.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- £21.20.- How much?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- £21.20?- £21.20.- 21.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I tell you what... You take card, right?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- LAUGHTER - Come on, then.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I know what you're thinking -
0:21:18 > 0:21:20are there any tricks you can do with tomato ketchup?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Suffice to say, this part of the show is called...
0:21:24 > 0:21:26So, the answer's "yes", by the way.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Here's James Went, doing what we now know magicians love to do -
0:21:29 > 0:21:33interrupting people who are in the middle of a meal.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Um, sorry. In your bucket,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38you wouldn't happen to have some tomato sauce, would you?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Ooh, I could try this.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45I'll just cover it. Don't want to get your clothes dirty.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47We'll use one more, just to be safe.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54You can see the bottle? Yeah?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Well, you can certainly say that that ketchup's got no additives
0:22:00 > 0:22:03or preservatives - or any ketchup-related qualities at all.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06He's basically produced some salad.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10For our next condiment conundrum, it's only Mr Michael Wo.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- Hello.- Hello, Michael.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16I got jumbo size cards here.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I wave over the pack of these cards here.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Like that - a tap -
0:22:22 > 0:22:23and I got tomato sauce.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26- That's good, innit?- OK.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Actually, Michael - can I get brown sauce instead?
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Now, let's take a peek behind closed trap doors, as we ask...
0:22:38 > 0:22:41No, it's not Michael Ball performing Phantom Of The Opera
0:22:41 > 0:22:42in a shopping mall.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Although, that's not to say he doesn't do that.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49It's from Japanese channel NHK and this masked magician...
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Ooh, he's a little bit creepy, isn't he?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55This masked magician is about to produce something spectacular
0:22:55 > 0:22:57from behind his dining room curtain.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02A ballerina's appeared out of thin air!
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Or is it a thin ballerina appearing out of air?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Anyway, the question is, how did they do that?
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Well, brilliantly, we can see exactly how that was done.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13First, she cleverly conceals herself behind the cameraman,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15making them look like they're forming
0:23:15 > 0:23:16the world's shortest conga line.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Then, as the masked man shoves his face into the camera
0:23:19 > 0:23:22and brandishes a bit of curtain, she stands directly behind him.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24At the right moment she runs forward,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27skids delicately between his legs and voila!
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Instant lady!
0:23:30 > 0:23:32A word of advice, if you're a children's entertainer.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35When you tell the birthday boy you're going to cut his head off,
0:23:35 > 0:23:37make sure he knows it's not for real.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41But if he does have second thoughts, don't worry -
0:23:41 > 0:23:44his head's jammed between two planks of wood.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51So, you can pat him on the head, wheel him back into position
0:23:51 > 0:23:53and just carry on.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56It's not the first time we've brought this up, but...
0:23:57 > 0:24:00And to eat your magic food, may the fork be with you.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Here's a fork floating in mid-air. Very entertaining,
0:24:03 > 0:24:07but he was asked to put it in the dishwasher about an hour ago.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Here's the perfect fork for eating spaghetti.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13And here's a fork just acting weird.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Now, how many times have you asked yourself,
0:24:19 > 0:24:21"Why aren't there any magic tricks involving dead prawns?"
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Well, I'm delighted to say, your wait is over -
0:24:24 > 0:24:26as we join magician Lu Chen in Japan for...
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Judging by its colour, this is very definitely a cooked prawn.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Either that, or it's just really embarrassed
0:24:34 > 0:24:36about appearing on the telly.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40But look! It's gone from cooked back to being raw
0:24:40 > 0:24:42and the trick's not finished yet!
0:24:45 > 0:24:46He's rolling out the big guns.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49Well, the kitchen paper.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Which is also "kitchen paper" in Japanese, apparently.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10The prawn that was dead has come back to life - it's prawn again.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Huge excitement from those young onlookers - and that's over a prawn.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Imagine how hysterical they'd be if he'd magicked up some...
0:25:19 > 0:25:21I don't know, One Direction tickets?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I can't wait to see what he's going to do with the tiramisu.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Here's another trick that takes years to perfect.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42That's ten seconds to do
0:25:42 > 0:25:46and the rest of the time folding all that paper back into the box again.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Still, he's enjoying the moment.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51The great thing about learning to ride a bike
0:25:51 > 0:25:53is that you never forget how to do it.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Even when it goes wrong and he gets hurt,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59he keeps coming back for more. It's a vicious cycle.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02If you've had a mishap relating to a magic trick or stunt
0:26:02 > 0:26:06and you've captured it on camera, we'd love to share your pain.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Details can be found on our website at ...
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- Hurrah!- It's Cyril Takayama,
0:26:17 > 0:26:21keen to pitch some of his new inventions on Dragons' Den.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29A jacket that turns into a towel? Deborah Meaden will love that.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33A suitcase that turns into a sun lounger!
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Too late, Duncan Bannatyne -
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I'm offering £7.50 for 100% of the business.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42And the most surprising of all, Cyril really blends in at Bognor.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Is it that time already?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46We've arrived at the big finish.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49It's an ordinary day for the amazing Hans Klok.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Wrists shackled, bound in chains
0:26:51 > 0:26:54and being forced into a foot spa at the World Magic Awards.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Take a deep breath, Hans.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Now, I'm pretty sure I didn't see anyone
0:27:02 > 0:27:05test the water temperature with their elbow.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07What if it's too hot?
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Mind you, thinking about it, Hans is wearing that much man-made fibre,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13his costume won't shrink, even if it is boiling.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28KLAXONS
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Magician's assistants are amazing.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34It takes years of practice to get to the point
0:27:34 > 0:27:38where you can rock a skin tight velour onesie as well as that.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42KLAXONS
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Looks like he's got free of his chains in there.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48But he seems terribly disorientated, pushing at the window like that.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50The lid's at the top, Hans!
0:27:53 > 0:27:55And there he is.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01It's just like that scene with Colin Firth in Pride and Prejudice.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04That's staggering!
0:28:04 > 0:28:07But then, I'd be a bit wobbly, if I held my breath for 70 seconds.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10I wonder what Dynamo's nan thought of that.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11That's very good, love, yeah.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15That's all we've got time for.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18No! I say no!
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Well, I'm afraid, GloZell, I have to say "yes".
0:28:21 > 0:28:23But join us next time and until then, watch out -
0:28:23 > 0:28:25magicians are everywhere.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Although, to be fair, some are easier to spot than others.
