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.
