0:00:02 > 0:00:06Prepare to be amazed by what you see over the next magical half hour.

0:00:07 > 0:00:09You'll believe a man can walk on air!

0:00:09 > 0:00:11And a dog can sit still.

0:00:11 > 0:00:12Ooh, no. Gone.

0:00:13 > 0:00:14Oh, God.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17Tonight we offer you cats that magically arise.

0:00:18 > 0:00:20Doughnut surprise!

0:00:20 > 0:00:22And incredible office supplies.

0:00:22 > 0:00:24Wow!

0:00:24 > 0:00:25- Oh!- Yeah!

0:00:25 > 0:00:27We've got great magic, amazing stunts

0:00:27 > 0:00:30and earth-shatteringly weird stuff.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32Ugh! Scary.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Welcome to Now You See It.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Tinted sunglasses are magic - they can turn

0:00:50 > 0:00:54the grimmest of settings into something beautiful and exotic.

0:00:54 > 0:00:55HAWAIIAN MUSIC

0:00:58 > 0:00:59Cheers.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04These glasses are even more impressive.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06ALL SHOUT

0:01:08 > 0:01:09This gentleman thinks so.

0:01:09 > 0:01:13Imagine what he'd be like if they were ultraflex varifocals.

0:01:13 > 0:01:14LAUGHTER

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Stop making a spectacle of yourself.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Normally, it's catch it, bin it, kill it,

0:01:27 > 0:01:30but magicians tend to go for the more showbiz

0:01:30 > 0:01:33catch it, bounce it, make an elaborate origami swan from it.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38Back to this guy, who can do so much more than magic up sunglasses.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41He can do tricks with tissue paper, too.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Though the end result seems to be sunglasses again.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46- LAUGHTER - Oh!

0:01:46 > 0:01:49You could call these "optical illusions".

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Now, who should a wife turn to

0:01:51 > 0:01:53when her hubby's hobby is driving her mad?

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Marriage guidance counsellor? A close friend or relative?

0:01:56 > 0:01:59No. Magician Andrew Maine, of course.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Here to stop one husband from spending all his time fishing.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Nothing yet? - Not yet, no.

0:02:04 > 0:02:05I could fix that for you.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09By bringing the fish...

0:02:09 > 0:02:10to you.

0:02:12 > 0:02:13What?

0:02:15 > 0:02:16How did you do that?

0:02:16 > 0:02:17I don't think that's enough.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19I think...

0:02:19 > 0:02:21He's turned the petrol tank into a fish tank!

0:02:21 > 0:02:24- No.- I'm bringing the ocean to you,

0:02:24 > 0:02:27so you don't have to go fishing anymore.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Now I'm getting scared at what's going on.

0:02:29 > 0:02:30Here's the point, Urgen.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Your wife feels like she's drowning.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39What is going onto my car right now?

0:02:41 > 0:02:44This chap doesn't know whether to call the AA or the coastguard.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47You have enough fish for a lifetime!

0:02:47 > 0:02:49- How? - This is what you wanted.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51No, this is not what I wanted.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Let me air it out for you.

0:02:55 > 0:02:56Whoo!

0:02:56 > 0:02:58And it was at this point that the fishing fan told Andrew

0:02:58 > 0:03:00that that was actually a hire car.

0:03:03 > 0:03:08Over to France, where the kids attend school on a Saturday.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12Presumably that's where they learn advanced creepy telekinesis skills.

0:03:17 > 0:03:18Very continental,

0:03:18 > 0:03:21and thankfully not on the curriculum over here.

0:03:21 > 0:03:22LAUGHTER

0:03:22 > 0:03:26Oh, the joyous sound of nervous laughter from petrified adults.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32THEY SPEAK FRENCH

0:03:34 > 0:03:35Everyone's impressed,

0:03:35 > 0:03:38except the waiter, whose tip she's messing with.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Oh, there he is.

0:03:40 > 0:03:41Oh, hang on.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47WHISPERS: Stop looking at me like that!

0:03:47 > 0:03:48Kids plus magic equals trouble,

0:03:48 > 0:03:50but what about animals?

0:03:50 > 0:03:53Let's take a look in tonight's Animal Magic.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55And he knows how to sit.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Roll over.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00We're at home with Criss Angel and his kin.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Chris has come up with a novel way of removing

0:04:02 > 0:04:05unwanted animal hair from the furniture.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07HE PANTS HEAVILY

0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Come on!- Look at the cat!

0:04:11 > 0:04:13- Come on!- Whoa!

0:04:13 > 0:04:14The cat's thinking,

0:04:14 > 0:04:17"Nine lives and I had to spend one of them with him?"

0:04:17 > 0:04:18- ALL:- Yeah! - Wow.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Rick Lax is determined to prove cats love magic

0:04:24 > 0:04:28almost as much as they love dogs, baths and loud noises.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33It's amazing what you can get a research grant for these days.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Yeah, pull a rabbit out of that hat,

0:04:39 > 0:04:40then I'll be interested.

0:04:43 > 0:04:44They hate it.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48Well, cats may be sceptical about magic,

0:04:48 > 0:04:51but what about man's best friend?

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Here's a budding magician with his assistant, Doggy McGee.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Actually, the name's Fudge and he's pretty nonplussed.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00"That collar's far too big for me!"

0:05:00 > 0:05:01But wait...

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Fudge vanishes!

0:05:03 > 0:05:06Did somebody rattle the biscuit box in the kitchen?

0:05:14 > 0:05:16And Fudge is back!

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Well, the owner seems to think he's in charge,

0:05:33 > 0:05:36but who's really pulling the strings?

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Fudge is now the master!

0:05:41 > 0:05:42It's the weekend so...

0:05:42 > 0:05:45Who better than Dynamo to whip a crowd into a frenzy

0:05:45 > 0:05:46over a small piece of paper.

0:05:46 > 0:05:47Anyone got any receipts?

0:05:47 > 0:05:49HE SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY

0:05:49 > 0:05:51I hope it's the receipt for a sexy panda t-shirt,

0:05:51 > 0:05:53so he can take it back.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Don't judge me though. - Oh, this is perfect. I think.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Yeah, this is for £32.10.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02- Oh, I see, vodka. - Yeah.- Absolut.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04That's my best friend.

0:06:04 > 0:06:05Let me try this.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15- ALL SHOUT - What?! What?

0:06:15 > 0:06:19Maybe it's a receipt for his trousers, as they clearly don't fit.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Should've spent that £32.10 on a belt.

0:06:22 > 0:06:23This is yours, mate.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Aye aye aye!

0:06:27 > 0:06:28No!

0:06:28 > 0:06:31On the downside, the bottle of vodka vanished back to the shop.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Now, over to the World Magic Awards,

0:06:34 > 0:06:38and some amazing card manipulation from Jeff McBride.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Now, if you're wondering why Jeff is dressed like that,

0:06:40 > 0:06:43he's just had an audition for Game of Thrones.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Sadly, he didn't get the part,

0:06:45 > 0:06:47but he has landed a role in House of Cards.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54Jeff's incredible sleight of hand card skills have got him

0:06:54 > 0:06:56barred from every branch of Clintons.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Fancy doing some trickery yourself?

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Well, pay close attention,

0:07:05 > 0:07:08as we open up our Beginner's Guide to Magic.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10And tonight there's just one simple rule,

0:07:10 > 0:07:12but it's an important one.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Be very, very careful when choosing your venue.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20Sharp-eyed viewers may just spot a fatal mistake.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Magic's all smoke and mirrors,

0:07:26 > 0:07:30but this trick needs a lot more smoke and a bit less mirror.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32And if you've filmed a trick that hasn't quite gone to plan,

0:07:32 > 0:07:34go on, share it with us.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38Check out the website for all the details.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Er, we can still see you, I'm afraid.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Want to know how to do a trick yourself?

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Let's find out in How Do They Do That!?

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Thank you, wish me the best of luck.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Magicians Wayne Houchin and Nate Staniforth are playing

0:07:57 > 0:08:01the most elaborate and deadly game of Find the Lady.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Or should that be Bloke?

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Wayne hides in one of five metal boxes,

0:08:06 > 0:08:09and it's up to Nate to find him.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Ooh, he doesn't look happy in there.

0:08:11 > 0:08:12Mix 'em up, mix 'em up.

0:08:12 > 0:08:13Spin 'em around. If you've stopped...

0:08:13 > 0:08:16A quick shuffle by some volunteers prevents it from being

0:08:16 > 0:08:18the easiest trick ever for Nate.

0:08:18 > 0:08:19All right, very good.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21But where's the deadly bit?

0:08:21 > 0:08:22Here!

0:08:22 > 0:08:26- RADIO:- Right, Dave, I want you to start by destroying this one here.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Ooh, has he picked one of the empty boxes?

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Fingers crossed for you, mate.

0:08:41 > 0:08:42- RADIO:- Yeah, Dave, destroy this one.

0:08:50 > 0:08:51- RADIO:- Destroy this one.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57He's having a right old laugh in that box, isn't he?

0:09:03 > 0:09:06- RADIO:- Right, Dave, I want you to...

0:09:06 > 0:09:08No, I want you to destroy this one. Take this one out.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Oh, make your mind up, love, it's only life or death!

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Mind you, stylishly done.

0:09:18 > 0:09:19But is Wayne safe?

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Oh, no, it's empty!

0:09:26 > 0:09:27- Ho-ho. - APPLAUSE

0:09:27 > 0:09:31Only joking, he's safe. Not even a stubbed toe.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33But how on earth did they manage it?

0:09:33 > 0:09:34We'll find out later.

0:09:36 > 0:09:40Well, I've not seen anyone tidy like this since Mary Poppins.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43Incredible stuff, and just think how much more he could achieve

0:09:43 > 0:09:44if he had both hands free.

0:09:48 > 0:09:49Is it a ball?

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Is it a bird?

0:09:51 > 0:09:52Is it a...?

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Oh, yeah, it's a bird. APPLAUSE

0:09:54 > 0:09:56The world's largest slingshot.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Well, for anyone watching on a tiny smartphone,

0:09:58 > 0:10:02here's a much bigger catapult trick with a basketball.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Oh, yeah!

0:10:04 > 0:10:06- BOTH:- Yeah!

0:10:06 > 0:10:07THEY SHOUT

0:10:07 > 0:10:10Never thought THAT guy would be a tree-hugger.

0:10:10 > 0:10:11Yes!

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Something tells me they're pretty happy with that.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16No wonder, they've been trying to do it solidly for six weeks.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Time for a change of clothes, guys, come on.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22- HE SHOUTS:- Oh, my God!

0:10:23 > 0:10:27Alex Ramone has a novel way of making magic even more exciting.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29Watch the card very carefully.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31It changes from the four

0:10:31 > 0:10:32to the six of diamonds.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Brilliant.

0:10:34 > 0:10:35Plus he managed to complete the trick

0:10:35 > 0:10:37before he smashed into a tree.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Whooo!

0:10:39 > 0:10:42Ladies and gentlemen, Ed Sheeran!

0:10:42 > 0:10:44WHISPERS: Not really.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Actually, it's an amazing escapology stunt

0:10:46 > 0:10:49from the Safronov brothers in Russia.

0:10:55 > 0:10:56They are tied to that post

0:10:56 > 0:10:59and must escape before the red van drops on them.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Simple set-up, although utterly insane.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04CROWD COUNTS IN RUSSIAN

0:11:07 > 0:11:08One's out.

0:11:09 > 0:11:10And another.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Come on, Ed-alike!

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Oh, dear. Well, I'm really glad this IS a trick,

0:11:16 > 0:11:18or now I'd be very worried.

0:11:18 > 0:11:22After all, the suspension on that van is totally done in.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24THEY SHOUT

0:11:31 > 0:11:32Oh, ooh! Wait!

0:11:32 > 0:11:34It's Ed! He's done it!

0:11:34 > 0:11:35CHEERING To celebrate he sings a song

0:11:35 > 0:11:38from his latest unplugged album.

0:11:38 > 0:11:39Yeah!

0:11:39 > 0:11:40Yeah!

0:11:41 > 0:11:43It's not a classic.

0:11:43 > 0:11:44APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:11:48 > 0:11:49CHEERING

0:11:59 > 0:12:01I don't normally say no to a doughnut,

0:12:01 > 0:12:04but, on this occasion...

0:12:04 > 0:12:05What's your name?

0:12:05 > 0:12:06Coming up...

0:12:06 > 0:12:09Troy's out on a date, but what's on the menu?

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Probably a large drink stain.

0:12:12 > 0:12:16Sue Barker faces the harsh reality of BBC cuts.

0:12:16 > 0:12:17And, in our big finish...

0:12:17 > 0:12:20DMC must act PDQ,

0:12:20 > 0:12:22or he faces the biggest split up since JLS.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24OMG!

0:12:24 > 0:12:25HE SHOUTS

0:12:25 > 0:12:28But now, more expert trickery as we showcase the magic of

0:12:28 > 0:12:29Dee Christopher.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Erm, have any of you guys heard of alchemy?

0:12:33 > 0:12:37The definition is it's "the profound art of taking base substances

0:12:37 > 0:12:39"and changing them into precious metals".

0:12:39 > 0:12:41Come on, look like you understand!

0:12:41 > 0:12:42Yeah, that's better.

0:12:42 > 0:12:43Fire...

0:12:44 > 0:12:47..was often used as the catalyst for these experiments,

0:12:47 > 0:12:51where they'd take something worthless...

0:12:53 > 0:12:55..and change it...

0:12:58 > 0:13:00- ALL:- Oh! - ..into something...

0:13:00 > 0:13:01QUIET LAUGHTER

0:13:01 > 0:13:02..very precious.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06I've got a silver ring here.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10It's my understanding that, perhaps,

0:13:10 > 0:13:13if I was to heat up the metal...

0:13:14 > 0:13:15..and melt it down...

0:13:16 > 0:13:18LAUGHTER

0:13:18 > 0:13:22..we could potentially analyse the solution,

0:13:22 > 0:13:25and figure out a way to replicate it.

0:13:25 > 0:13:26Use a straw.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29If I was to take a drop of this.

0:13:29 > 0:13:30Just a single drop.

0:13:32 > 0:13:33That'll do.

0:13:36 > 0:13:37And try and cool it down...

0:13:43 > 0:13:46..we should be able to solidify it...

0:13:47 > 0:13:50- ..into something new. - LAUGHTER

0:13:50 > 0:13:53But, you know, I mean, these old-fashioned silver coins

0:13:53 > 0:13:55are no good to us here, really.

0:13:55 > 0:13:56They're not accepted as currency.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59To have the maximum get out of this,

0:13:59 > 0:14:00you'd have to really deposit it.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Blimey! That is clever.

0:14:02 > 0:14:03APPLAUSE

0:14:03 > 0:14:07Now, could I have the two small glasses of wine I ordered?

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Now we challenge everything you hold dear about magic,

0:14:09 > 0:14:11as we introduce you to tonight's

0:14:11 > 0:14:13not-so-glamorous assistants.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17This time it's an enormous chicken.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20Oh, the hormones they put in food these days, eh?

0:14:23 > 0:14:27Oh, no. It's actually a Charlie Chaplin lookalike.

0:14:27 > 0:14:32So let's just see how appealing this fun-filled creature is to children.

0:14:32 > 0:14:33Oh, dear.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35LAUGHTER

0:14:35 > 0:14:36HE SPEAKS KOREAN

0:14:39 > 0:14:40More insanity here.

0:14:40 > 0:14:44Has anyone told Network Rail about this?

0:14:44 > 0:14:45HEAVY BREATHING

0:14:45 > 0:14:48AS DARTH VADER: "You are unwise to raise those defences."

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Star Wars line, terrible impression.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54More pole-ish stunts here. And watch this.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59If you feel like your life's going round in circles,

0:14:59 > 0:15:02this hobby isn't the one for you.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04Pretty dazzling, though.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12Just like an OAP on the release date of Daniel O'Donnell's new calendar,

0:15:12 > 0:15:15Ben Hart is in a hurry.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17And tonight he seems a little bit peckish.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21So I'm probably overdressed for cookery, but don't worry.

0:15:21 > 0:15:22LAUGHTER

0:15:23 > 0:15:27So the aim today is I'm going to try and use magic to do some cookery

0:15:27 > 0:15:30quicker than that toaster can cook a piece of toast.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33It's going to be machine versus magic.

0:15:33 > 0:15:34Toast versus the host.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37The only thing I haven't got is I haven't got any actual ingredients.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Damilo, would you come up here and join me?

0:15:39 > 0:15:41- Yeah.- We're going to be cooking an omelette.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43- OK.- So what do we need to cook an omelette?

0:15:43 > 0:15:46- An egg.- An egg. So I've got here an imaginary egg.

0:15:46 > 0:15:47We just need to crack it.

0:15:49 > 0:15:50TAPPING

0:15:51 > 0:15:52I heard something.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54That was the sound of an imaginary egg, obviously.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Thank you, you can sit back down. Would you take that plate with you?

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Remember, I'm up against the clock, I'm up against that toaster,

0:16:01 > 0:16:03so, three, two, one...

0:16:03 > 0:16:05Toast, go on. OK.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08So I'm going to whisk up our imaginary egg.

0:16:08 > 0:16:09Here we go.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11Well, the good thing is, there's no washing up.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Then I'm just going to pour it into the pan here.

0:16:16 > 0:16:17Like that.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19And I'm just going to start cooking with my imagination.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22Bit of herbs, I think, bit of imaginary herbs, that should do it.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Collecting imaginary herbs!

0:16:24 > 0:16:27Where does he find the time?

0:16:27 > 0:16:28I think...

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Yes, yes, hold out the plate for me.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33I think it's worked, you've got very good imaginations.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36Because, look, now there is a real imaginary omelette.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39Yeah, it looked a bit nicer when it was imaginary.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41- And I won! - CHEERING

0:16:41 > 0:16:45Proof indeed that you can make an omelette without breaking eggs.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50OK, let's put you out of your misery and reveal the answer

0:16:50 > 0:16:52to How Do They Do That!?

0:16:53 > 0:16:55Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to turn around,

0:16:55 > 0:16:58pick out something on the horizon and stare at it.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00You'll remember magician, Wayne Houchin

0:17:00 > 0:17:02hid in one of five metal boxes,

0:17:02 > 0:17:04while his pal, Nate Staniforth, looked away

0:17:04 > 0:17:06and the boxes were mixed up.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10Using an industrial digger and the power of his mind,

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Nate managed to crush the four empty boxes,

0:17:12 > 0:17:15leaving Wayne without a scratch.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17But how did Nate know which was the right one?

0:17:19 > 0:17:22Well, Wayne sent an infrared beam

0:17:22 > 0:17:24from a small breathing hole in his box.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Invisible to the naked eye,

0:17:26 > 0:17:29but not to a sensor in Nate's trousers,

0:17:29 > 0:17:31which picked up the beam as he walked past.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34As soon as Nate felt a vibration in his trousers,

0:17:34 > 0:17:37he knew Wayne was in the box he'd just passed.

0:17:37 > 0:17:42Would you want your life to depend on your mate's vibrating trousers?

0:17:42 > 0:17:43Cos I tell you what,

0:17:43 > 0:17:44I ruddy wouldn't.

0:17:48 > 0:17:52Now, Justin Flom has a first-world problem.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55Plastic wrap, I hate plastic wrap.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58It's hard to tear, it sticks to things that you don't want it to,

0:17:58 > 0:18:00it sticks to itself, it sticks to everything,

0:18:00 > 0:18:02except what you need it to stick to -

0:18:02 > 0:18:04- your plate of pizza. - LAUGHTER

0:18:04 > 0:18:06What we're going to do is I wanted to

0:18:06 > 0:18:07create a piece of magic using plastic wrap.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10Billy's going to help me out. Billy, can you come up on stage?

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Give her a big round of applause.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:18:14 > 0:18:17And give Billy the plastic wrap.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19We got a little cabinet up onstage with a curtain

0:18:19 > 0:18:23and a pole that Billy now gets to wrap me to.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25- So, Billy, come on around. - All right.- Er, I need to...

0:18:25 > 0:18:27- I'll take a whole bunch. - You take that.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Yeah, and go ahead.- Nice and tight. Here we go.- Wrap me tight.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Excellent, this'll be good.

0:18:32 > 0:18:33This is, er...

0:18:33 > 0:18:35- perfect. Tear it, yeah.- Yeah.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37- It's hard. Very good.- OK.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40- LAUGHTER - Now, Billy, you're going to be

0:18:40 > 0:18:41with me in the cabinet here,

0:18:41 > 0:18:44but what I need you to do is I need you to grab that curtain,

0:18:44 > 0:18:46and you're going to close that curtain for me.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48- So...- And you want me in the cabinet with you?

0:18:48 > 0:18:50- I know it's awkward.- OK.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52Just, just... Yeah.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Just so you know that there's nothing going on

0:18:54 > 0:18:56- between me and Justin.- Yeah. So we're going to close the curtains.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58This is strictly a working relationship.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00- LAUGHTER - That's right. Close the curtain.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Very good. Hang on, I'm going to...

0:19:02 > 0:19:03I'm going to adjust that a bit.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05- GASPING - Right there. I think I should...

0:19:05 > 0:19:06That's, that's good, right.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09Incredible trick. And Billy stays fresh for up to 48 hours.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15Xavier Mortimer's trying to magic up the perfect implement

0:19:15 > 0:19:17for eating ice cream.

0:19:17 > 0:19:18Hm, a knife.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Well, that's no good.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31Chopsticks? I don't think so.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Ah, at last! A spoon!

0:19:42 > 0:19:45But I wouldn't hang about for too much longer if I were you.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48Too late. Yeah, the ice cream's melted.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51It's Troy on his first date with this nice lady.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53Bit forward to secretly film it, though.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55- What's your name? - Erm, Amadea.- Amadea?- Yeah.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Amadea?

0:19:57 > 0:19:58Well, I'm a magician.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Oh, dear.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04I would recommend the Long Island iced tea.

0:20:04 > 0:20:05- Yeah?- Yeah.

0:20:05 > 0:20:06- I can make it for you if you want. - Really?

0:20:06 > 0:20:07All we need is a, er...

0:20:07 > 0:20:10- a glass. - SHE LAUGHS

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Oh my God, I'm going to get so freaked out.

0:20:12 > 0:20:13But genuinely!

0:20:19 > 0:20:22Quick, Amadea, see if he's got a bag of crisps in there as well!

0:20:22 > 0:20:24You can't drink it without this, right?

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Need a straw.

0:20:28 > 0:20:29BELL RINGS

0:20:32 > 0:20:35Now, you'll love this. Watch and learn.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39This paperclip is made from nitinol,

0:20:39 > 0:20:41an alloy with very special powers.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46When you bend it into a totally different shape,

0:20:46 > 0:20:49like this representation of Brands Hatch race circuit

0:20:49 > 0:20:51and drop it into hot water...

0:20:51 > 0:20:52voila!

0:20:53 > 0:20:55It's a paperclip again!

0:20:55 > 0:20:58And there was me thinking nitinol just helps you sleep at night.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00God, you learn something new every day.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04There are lots of things you can do with paperclips,

0:21:04 > 0:21:07but when it comes to stationery products, nothing can compete

0:21:07 > 0:21:09with the versatility of the rubber band.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Sounds like a BBC Four series.

0:21:13 > 0:21:19DRAMATIC MUSIC

0:21:19 > 0:21:21Have you ever noticed even the smallest of tricks

0:21:21 > 0:21:25can seem a lot bigger with suitably dramatic music?

0:21:25 > 0:21:27MUSIC BUILDS

0:21:27 > 0:21:29Actually, that's pretty good.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31Let's see if I can copy it.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34You cross the band on this finger.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Right, OK. Yeah.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38- You put this finger on this here. - Ooh. yeah.

0:21:38 > 0:21:39Erm, finger under there.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Oh, 'ang on. Where's me thumb?

0:21:41 > 0:21:43Underneath? Oh, it's tight.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45WHISPERS: I'm losing circulation! Yeah.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47It just looks like this.

0:21:47 > 0:21:48Oh, hang on, where's that gone?

0:21:48 > 0:21:50You take this finger...

0:21:50 > 0:21:52I think I'll leave it to the experts.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54All I wanted was my own stab of dramatic music.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56DRAMATIC MUSIC

0:21:56 > 0:21:57Oh, thanks.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00Rubber band ball, it's just rubber bands.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02Like a rubber band ball,

0:22:02 > 0:22:04takes four days before he can do it again.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07Philip Blue here became so obsessed with rubber band tricks,

0:22:07 > 0:22:10his wife made him leave the house and do them in the car.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19Yeah, that was worth it.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22As it goes, rubber bands are pretty simple.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24For more advanced office magic, come and join us

0:22:24 > 0:22:26walking in a Printer Wonderland.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29HE SPEAKS ANOTHER LANGUAGE

0:22:30 > 0:22:32HE SHOUTS

0:22:32 > 0:22:34That once got me thrown out of Ryman's.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36When you don't have a printer...

0:22:39 > 0:22:40..oh, you don't need one.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45Interesting place for a button. WHIRRING

0:22:45 > 0:22:47You don't know where the batteries are.

0:22:47 > 0:22:48Yes, sir, you.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50IN AMERICAN ACCENT: To New York's Times Square,

0:22:50 > 0:22:53where we've seen legendary performances from U2, Taylor Swift...

0:22:53 > 0:22:54this guy!

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Commit it to memory.

0:22:56 > 0:22:57Ladies and gentlemen,

0:22:57 > 0:23:01this deck of cards looks like it's a regular ordinary deck.

0:23:01 > 0:23:06It is, but it means a great deal to me, ladies and gentlemen.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09And now we're going to shuffle the deck a little more.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Sorry, it can't mean THAT much to you

0:23:12 > 0:23:14if you're going to sling it on the pavement.

0:23:14 > 0:23:15Oh, sorry...

0:23:15 > 0:23:16IN AMERICAN ACCENT: ..sidewalk.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18GASPING Ooh, look at this, though.

0:23:20 > 0:23:21Wow!

0:23:21 > 0:23:25Well, I think I'm more impressed than that crowd.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29Nice to see a deck dancing round.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32All we need is Ant and we're ready to rumble.

0:23:34 > 0:23:35He's not quite anatomically correct -

0:23:35 > 0:23:37he's got a heart where his nose should be.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39And is that a club foot?

0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Is that your card?- Yeah. - That's your card?

0:23:42 > 0:23:43- Yeah.- Round of applause.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48It's Israeli magician Hezi Dean,

0:23:48 > 0:23:52whose assistant's sunglasses suggest a heavy night last night.

0:23:52 > 0:23:53Oh, poor love.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Luckily, when they're off sick,

0:23:58 > 0:24:00magicians draft in a locum assistant -

0:24:00 > 0:24:02this guy! Great trousers.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Well, it must've been a heavy night,

0:24:09 > 0:24:12as Hezi cures her tense, nervous headache.

0:24:12 > 0:24:13Ow!

0:24:14 > 0:24:15Very well done.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Wow! The box magically moves on his command.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30That's just showing off.

0:24:30 > 0:24:33I'd use the carrying handles, love.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Oh, he actually heard me.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Now this could be gruesome.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45Oh, no! She's fine.

0:24:45 > 0:24:49Not saying much, though, as her vocal cords are 20 feet away.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55Remaining calm, too.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57Well, she's kept her head.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Outstanding!

0:24:59 > 0:25:01And the secret to the trick?

0:25:01 > 0:25:03She was an android all along.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08Going to roll it up, and put it into this air can. Watch.

0:25:08 > 0:25:12Calen Morelli now, who's overslept and needs to get dressed in a hurry.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14Good. All right. I want you guys to watch closely.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16All you got to do is watch my chest.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19That's not your chest, Calen, that's your stomach!

0:25:22 > 0:25:24All right, on the count of three.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26One, two...

0:25:26 > 0:25:27three.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30And if you think that's impressive,

0:25:30 > 0:25:33you should see him putting on his underpants.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Now it's time for our Big Finish.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41Over to DMC, who's risking life and all his limbs

0:25:41 > 0:25:43in one amazing stunt.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49Using just two trucks, pulling in opposite directions,

0:25:49 > 0:25:52this wooden pallet will split in two.

0:25:52 > 0:25:53Ta-dah!

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Oh, that's not much of a trick.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57Oh, hang on...

0:25:58 > 0:26:00There's no going back.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04There are many factors that could go wrong with the stunt

0:26:04 > 0:26:07I'm about to perform,

0:26:07 > 0:26:09but right now the biggest danger I face

0:26:09 > 0:26:10is my own fear.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13That and the danger of not looking to your left and right,

0:26:13 > 0:26:16with all these speeding trucks on the road.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for coming.

0:26:21 > 0:26:22WHISPERS: So posh!

0:26:22 > 0:26:25Please place your fists out, like this.

0:26:25 > 0:26:26And this one goes on here.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Why is he handcuffing his mum?

0:26:28 > 0:26:29This one here.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31- Give them a good wrestle.- Mm-hm.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33Play with them.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35Press something, see if anything gives.

0:26:35 > 0:26:36- LAUGHTER - OK. So what I'm going to do...

0:26:36 > 0:26:39Two ways to get out of these.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42One is with this handcuff key,

0:26:42 > 0:26:44which I'm going to leave with you.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46- That is for you, so could you hold onto that?- Yep.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48And the other...

0:26:48 > 0:26:52is this bobby pin, which I will use to pick the lock.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Apparently you can't take part in this trick

0:26:56 > 0:26:59if you've got any hair.

0:26:59 > 0:27:00DRAMATIC MUSIC

0:27:18 > 0:27:19HE SIGHS

0:27:19 > 0:27:22Now it's just him, his mum, the crowd, the trucks,

0:27:22 > 0:27:23and, just out of shot,

0:27:23 > 0:27:26a 30-piece orchestra making that music.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28DRAMATIC MUSIC

0:27:30 > 0:27:31And...

0:27:31 > 0:27:32three, two, one.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36Action!

0:27:36 > 0:27:37TIMER TICKS

0:27:41 > 0:27:42HE GRUNTS

0:27:42 > 0:27:45I think that helicopter is so they can look for his arms

0:27:52 > 0:27:55Come on, you've got to get it off. Get it off. Agh!

0:27:57 > 0:28:01- No, no, no.- Ooh!- No, no! - ALL SHOUT

0:28:01 > 0:28:03- HE GRUNTS ALL:- Ooh!

0:28:03 > 0:28:05HELICOPTER WHIRS

0:28:13 > 0:28:14Ooh, his glands are up.

0:28:14 > 0:28:18Obviously, it goes without saying - don't try this at home.

0:28:18 > 0:28:20It does work better on a deserted runway.

0:28:22 > 0:28:26That's all for now, but join me next time for more spellbinding magic

0:28:26 > 0:28:30and extraordinary feats on Now You See It.

0:28:30 > 0:28:31- CHEERING - Yeah!
