0:00:02 > 0:00:04Welcome to a world of magic and illusions -
0:00:04 > 0:00:07a place where the most surprising things happen
0:00:07 > 0:00:09and where your dreams really can come true.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Think that one's a cheese dream.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Tonight, you will witness
0:00:15 > 0:00:17commuters who have lost their way,
0:00:17 > 0:00:19a man eating his five-a-day...
0:00:21 > 0:00:23..and reckless behaviour on the Queen's highway.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Don't worry, he's damaged nothing important.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Some of the magic will be dramatic,
0:00:30 > 0:00:32some of the stunts will be spectacular
0:00:32 > 0:00:36and some of the illusions will be intense.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37This is Now You See It.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Now, before you try any magic trick,
0:00:53 > 0:00:54you're going to need a wand...
0:00:54 > 0:00:57or two...
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Well, seeing as we're here,
0:00:58 > 0:01:00let's go for three.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02I'd suggest we give him a big hand,
0:01:02 > 0:01:04but I guess he must already have one.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Either way that was WAND-erful.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Peter Valance has got amazing skills.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Though, on the downside, table 12 are having to eat soup with a fork.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19BEATBOXING
0:01:19 > 0:01:22How often do you see magic involving an obsolete music format?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Yes, it's Lee Ryan and Anthony Costa from Blue
0:01:25 > 0:01:30launching their new careers as a human beatbox and CD rack combo.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32These guys really know how to throw a party(!)
0:01:36 > 0:01:38How long did they say the cab would be?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Oh, really?
0:01:43 > 0:01:48Now here's a sight that's all too familiar in homes across Britain.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51You ask some friends round to help assemble that Ikea bookshelf
0:01:51 > 0:01:54and then get in a bit of a muddle over the instructions.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57And even more annoyingly for this lot...
0:01:57 > 0:02:00DOORBELL RINGS ..there's the doorbell.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02That'll be the pizza.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Hey, I wonder if that works with just one person and a chair.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Here goes.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Take it away.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11THUD
0:02:11 > 0:02:13No. No, it doesn't.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Right, enough of human beings for a second,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21let's take a look at some Animal Magic -
0:02:21 > 0:02:23and here's a sentence you don't often hear.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28We're going to make four elephants vanish!
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Yep, Criss Angel's going to make four sizable creatures vanish
0:02:32 > 0:02:34and, just to clarify, he means the animals,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37he's not being rude about his American audience. Thank you.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Attach to your left hand.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Criss has got a foolproof way of ensuring his audience stay to watch.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46...that are handcuffing everybody to each other.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49We have our human chain complete, is that true?
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Everybody good back there?
0:02:50 > 0:02:51THEY CHEER
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Let's raise...
0:02:53 > 0:02:56the back curtain up.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Elephants are perfect for magic as they're very easy to train.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Whenever you tell them something, they're all ears.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05...of the curtain, creating an extra layer of impossibility.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Oh good, I like my impossibility to come in layers -
0:03:08 > 0:03:10like a magic Viennetta.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Raise up the front curtain.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Let's do this bad boy!
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Raise it up.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Raise it up.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Nice to see Criss has his own monogram sheets.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I aspire to that.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25You can't take this off.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Here's a peanut. Wait till I give you a peanut.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29There you go. There's a peanut. There you go.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Are you ready?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Now that's what I call a dazzling trick.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Oh, the four elephants, by the way, are absolutely fine.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I've no idea what happened to the four elephant handlers,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40however, who also vanished.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Oh, well.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43- Katie and...- Al.- Al. Katie and Al.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46For those who like their tricks like they like their coffee,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48here's one that's scalding hot,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51a bit liquidy and costs about, oh, £2.70.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53You're not going to drink that now, are you?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Well, we're going to do something kind of cool.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Good thing it's a double cup. We'll try a...
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I'm going to pour half into this one.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Like that, OK?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- And are you right-handed or left-handed?- Right-handed.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Take your right hand, take this one and hold it, like, over your head.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Don't drop it, don't spill it on yourself.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Are you right or left?- Right-handed. - OK, same thing as her.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11- Hold that up over your head.- OK.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14All right, don't sit it on your head, hold it over your head.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- All right, Katie you're going to go first. OK?- OK.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Now, what I want you to do is step this way just a bit,
0:04:19 > 0:04:20yes, to give you guys some room.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23You don't want to step off the edge a little bit too,
0:04:23 > 0:04:25like over... Away from the edge. OK.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Well, just do this a sec.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Katie, what you're going to do is you're going to close your eyes
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- and slowly turn in a circle. - Oh, boy, OK.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Now, try and make a perfect 360 with your eyes closed.- OK.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36That's, that's... Give it a go. Whenever you're ready.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Nice and slow, nice and slow.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40That's pretty good.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42OK, you're good. All right? Good job.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44All right, Al, you're going to try the exact same thing,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47but I would go a little slower too. That one's pretty quick
0:04:47 > 0:04:49and you're close to the edge, so go nice and slow.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Ooh, sneaky!
0:04:51 > 0:04:52He's drinking the girl's coffee
0:04:52 > 0:04:54while her friend's got his eyes closed.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Al, you did a good job. Now, Katie, you're going to try this.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59You're going to do me one favour, you're going to go like this
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- and you're going to just turn it over.- Turn it over?- Yep.- OK.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Unsurprisingly to us, her cup's empty
0:05:06 > 0:05:08but HE doesn't know that.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Al, you give that a try. - Man, I'm scared.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- It's OK, you can handle it. - It feels really heavy.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13No, you'll be all right.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Give it a try.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Can I pour it behind me? - No, come on!
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- I can feel it in there. - No, you'll be fine.- All right.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21I just bought this shirt.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Oh!
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Like a magician would.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Brilliant. We were the ones being fooled all along.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Thanks, guys.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32OK, it's time to showcase
0:05:32 > 0:05:34another of the best magicians on the planet
0:05:34 > 0:05:37as we look at...
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Hey.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Hi, guys.- And Cyril seems to be on his holidays,
0:05:41 > 0:05:45though that's meaningless when you're on 24-hour magic alert.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Can I show you something?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48See? He can't stop himself.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Lobster mould here.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Follow me, follow me.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54All right, so what did I make back there?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Lobsters.- A lobster.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Check this out.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Perfect. Can you hold that?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Hold that, OK?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Now I want you to watch this. Watch.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Whoa!- Whoa!
0:06:17 > 0:06:19If he's been hiding that down his trunks,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22he is one very brave magician.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25THEY LAUGH AND GASP
0:06:25 > 0:06:28If he can rustle up some lemon and a bib, I'll be very grateful.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Meanwhile, Troy's back in less sunny Britain
0:06:33 > 0:06:35and has invited some big fans to witness his trick with a...
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Oh, a big fan.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38I'm a big fan of Michael Jackson.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41OK, I've got him tattooed onto my arm.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42I want you to do me a favour.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I want you to think of an icon like Michael Jackson.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Someone whose...- Oh...
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Val Doonican?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Maybe Chas and Dave?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Who is it?- Marilyn Monroe.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Ah, yes, good one.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I'm trying to think of what she looks like.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58You're trying to think what Marilyn Monroe looks like?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02She looks like Marilyn Monroe, Troy!
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Obviously this is really fast, but I want to try...
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Still, Marilyn on a fan.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Presumably it's a fan in case some don't like it hot?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I'm trying to just go for this one blade here.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Can you see it's starting to take shape?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- I can't even see a blade. - Can you not see it?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17There's a black bit going around and that's it.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- A little, black dot whirring. - Just a black bit.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23I need to get this.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24I need to get this slight...
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Oh, don't get your nose caught, Troy!
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Are you feeling confident?
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Tension.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I know I've made a couple of mistakes but...
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- No!- Oh, my gosh!
0:07:42 > 0:07:43No way!
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Incredible trick.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Not only is Marilyn's face on that fan,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52but the rest of it is blowing her skirt up.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55From one blonde bombshell to another.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58This is Scott and his glamorous assistant Muriel.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00She's a real doll.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02LAUGHTER
0:08:10 > 0:08:13So, the dummy's in pieces and gets shoved in a box.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Now, at this stage of the trick, Scott needs a hand.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Oh, there it is.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20LAUGHTER
0:08:24 > 0:08:26But look, the dummy's come alive!
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Which is quite handy, as it says here
0:08:28 > 0:08:31they're real life husband and wife.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Still, an unconventional coupling
0:08:33 > 0:08:35of man and animated mannequin,
0:08:35 > 0:08:36but who am I to judge?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41APPLAUSE
0:08:42 > 0:08:48ORGAN MUSIC PLAYS
0:08:48 > 0:08:50She's pretty happy to have escaped.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52He only lets her out on Tuesdays.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Still, nice to see an early appearance there by Grayson Perry.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Enough of shouting, "Why are they doing that?"
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Let's now ask, "How do they do that?"
0:09:02 > 0:09:04And if you've been keeping up
0:09:04 > 0:09:07with your Hollywood superhero blockbusters, this one's for you.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10We're going to see if we can find someone who can lift Thor's hammer.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Ooh, it takes a lot of effort to lift a hammer.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Well, for me it does, I hate DIY.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Worthy.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20This is a replica of the Mjolnir,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23the weapon of choice of the mythical Norse god Thor.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25But the only thing that looks THOR here
0:09:25 > 0:09:29ith their hand ath they try to lift it. He-he.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Wait, I just...?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32It just moved!
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Oh, did it wobble? You're a little worthy, you're like Captain America.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36You're a little worthy.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Something tells me she's not really trying.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Nice boots, though.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52But in comes the God of Thunder himself and behold.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Now, this chap, here, reckons he knows what's going on.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01LeBron James, straight from Akron, Ohio,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- and we're out here on this beach... - Mm-hmm, really?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- Now, the reality is that only Thor can...- Mm-hmm.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Do you know what I'm saying?- Mm-hmm.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- I got brawn though. - Absolutely, yeah. Hmm.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Let's see what we got!
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Supreme confidence.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Prepare to be impressed.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Use both hands!
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Bend your knees!- Wait a minute.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Ah, well. Keep watching, mate,
0:10:23 > 0:10:27and we'll show you how it was done later in the show.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Now, here's something you don't see every day,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31in an item we like to call...
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Being a magician can be stressful,
0:10:36 > 0:10:38so here's the perfect invention
0:10:38 > 0:10:41to help them keep calm before a show.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43While ordinary people would just pop bubble wrap,
0:10:43 > 0:10:47illusionist Eric Bust just has to go one step further.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Right, now all you've got to do, Eric, is roll it back up again.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Yeah? Not so stress relieving now, is it?
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Yeah!
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Over to the corner shop now,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01with magician and part-time checkout guy Ben Hanlin.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03That is £7.50 please.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- Thanks very much.- It's all right.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14There you go, there's your change.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Ben does his best to win sales assistant of the month
0:11:16 > 0:11:18by really wowing this customer.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21It's your change.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- For the... For the wine. - I've just given you a tenner.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Yeah, and there's part of the tenner back, so the change.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Well, I can't really use that.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30You can, you can spend that like money.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Have you never done that before? - No, never before.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Yeah, you can buy a choc with that... Chocolate bar.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Go on the bus with that. Get a few of them, put them together,
0:11:37 > 0:11:38you've got an actual tenner.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- I'd prefer £4 change, if that's all right?- Oh, you'd rather the coins? - If that's OK, yeah.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44All right, I tell you what, I've messed you about a bit,
0:11:44 > 0:11:46you can have it on me if you want.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48I'll just give you your money back.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53How on Earth did you do that?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I think it's fair to say, "Not a happy shopper."
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- Here you are.- Thanks.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Enjoy your wine.- Thanks very much.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Now, when you think magic, you think tents.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06Well, I do anyway.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I've had this problem.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09Trying to find the peg holes
0:12:09 > 0:12:11for the inner mesh is right pain -
0:12:11 > 0:12:13especially in the dark.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Nope, he can't find them either.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17I'd give up.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Well, come on, what's a few mosquito bites?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27A bright lamp in a tent is not a good idea.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I did that once and the whole campsite saw my silhouette
0:12:29 > 0:12:32eating an entire Toblerone in one sitting.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Lovely zipping technique.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Now look at this.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49It's like a low rent James Bond title sequence,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51camping-based.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53The Man With The Golden Guy Rope?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Dr No... Dogs Allowed?
0:12:56 > 0:12:57You Only Camp Once?
0:12:58 > 0:12:59That's my trick.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Only arrive when you know the tent's already been put up.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03Good timing, Madam!
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Daniel Dovel's gone to Womad
0:13:06 > 0:13:09and he doesn't want to miss Jah Wobble.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Who needs a yurt?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14And here's a magical way to put on some headgear.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Argh!
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Ooh, maybe he should have been wearing a hard hat!
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Coming up,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Ben Hart shows us another trick in a hurry.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Look, he didn't even make it out of his PJs.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Derren Brown ruins a man's journey to work
0:13:29 > 0:13:32by telling him he looks like David Mellor.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35And in our big finish, not only do we show you a great trick,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37but the most effective way of preventing lawn weeds.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41They never come back.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44But first, mentalist Haim Goldenberg
0:13:44 > 0:13:47has gone to all the effort of setting up a stall on his hols.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49He's using his amazing mind skills
0:13:49 > 0:13:53to guess the birthdates of everyone he meets.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54What is your birthday?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56April 15th.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- Not August?- No.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59Ah.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02You're lucky today.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03- Ah, thank you.- Thank you.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07August 5th, '87?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- No.- No?
0:14:09 > 0:14:10July 6th, '87.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Hmm, I'm sorry.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14So, he got it right,
0:14:14 > 0:14:15but he pretends it's wrong.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Of course, he wasn't born yesterday
0:14:17 > 0:14:20and knows that they won't resist taking a peek at what his guess was.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22What is your birthday?
0:14:22 > 0:14:23March 16th.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25March 16th?
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Not August?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- No.- Oh, this is for you.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Can I see what you wrote? - If you ask.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33You're kidding!
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- What did you guess? - You want to see?- Yes, please.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37- Why not?- Ah.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40May 25th, 1968.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43'68? No way.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Be warned, guessing a woman's age
0:14:44 > 0:14:47should only be undertaken by a skilled professional,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49as it may result in physical injury.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Oh, ha-ha!
0:14:51 > 0:14:55It's Jonathan Pendragon at the World Magic Awards.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57SINISTER ORGAN MUSIC PLAYS
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Oh, Jonathan, I've got Simon Cowell on the phone,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02he wants to know why you're wearing his trousers.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Oh, look, a cat in a box.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07It's like a showbiz trip to the vets.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Ooh! Ooh, now it's a big white dog!
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Or is it a tiny polar bear?
0:15:17 > 0:15:21He didn't fight the cat, though - that's a bit magic, too.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Oh, don't lie in there like that!
0:15:29 > 0:15:31You don't know what the cat's done in there.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34What's next? I'm thinking it's got to be a pony.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Oh, no, it's a woman!
0:15:36 > 0:15:38And for an extra trick,
0:15:38 > 0:15:40the back half of her top's disappeared.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46To the Keith Chegwin of magic now.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Stevie Pink and Ghost Hanky.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Ghost Hanky.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54If a ghost wants to blow its nose,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56surely they'd use their own sheet.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Stevie is actually giving a running commentary as he does the trick
0:16:03 > 0:16:07but you can't hear him as his suit is too loud.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11If you've had a magic trick go wrong
0:16:11 > 0:16:13or you've done brilliantly well, like Stevie here...
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Well, anyway, if you've done brilliantly well, we want to see it.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Go to...
0:16:20 > 0:16:22for more details.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25How does he do that?
0:16:25 > 0:16:29And by "that" I mean "wear that suit with such confidence."
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Now, here's the VERY famous Derren Brown
0:16:35 > 0:16:38actually talking to somebody on public transport.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40No-one does that, surely!
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Can I ask you what stop you're getting off at?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Warren Street. - Pardon?- Warren Street.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Warren Street, excellent.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- What stop are you getting off at?- Euston.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Euston. Excellent.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Yeah, the documentary is sort of about
0:16:51 > 0:16:52how easily trains...
0:16:52 > 0:16:53of thought can become confused
0:16:53 > 0:16:56and you can have a piece of information
0:16:56 > 0:16:57that you know that you should know
0:16:57 > 0:17:00and, suddenly, it's just literally just gone from your mind, like that.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Sorry, what was the stop you were getting off at?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Look at me. What was the stop you were getting off at?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Does it say it up there?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15What was it?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Right, what stop? Thinking about it now, what was it?
0:17:20 > 0:17:21I can't remember.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- It's just... It's just gone. - What is it?
0:17:25 > 0:17:26What was the stop?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30He hasn't felt that confused on London Underground
0:17:30 > 0:17:34since there were planned engineering works at Cockfosters.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Do you remember why you're going there?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- To visit friends. - To visit a friend.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40And where is it? What stop?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I don't know.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I'm just trying to find it at the moment.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51I can't remember.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- Is that weird?- Yeah.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- Look, there it is. What is it?- Euston.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56Have you got it? What is it?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Warren Street.- Warren Street.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Archway.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Archway. Oh, this is Archway now!
0:18:02 > 0:18:03You'd better go!
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Oh, that'll be a tough excuse to use.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08"Er, sorry I'm late, Derren Brown hypnotised me."
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Um, sorry you missed that one.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Danny Cole now with the purse that holds the budget for this very show.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17This is a coin purse
0:18:17 > 0:18:19with an invisible bag
0:18:19 > 0:18:21and anything I drop inside of it
0:18:21 > 0:18:23will turn invisible also.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25There's an object in there now.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Of course, you can't see it and,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29even if you look down in there,
0:18:29 > 0:18:31you shouldn't be able to see it.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34It's not until I pour it out
0:18:34 > 0:18:37that it becomes visible.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Now, when I drop objects inside the purse,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42as long as I'm holding on to it,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45you're going to be able to see it, OK?
0:18:45 > 0:18:46But as soon as I let go...
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Yeah, one of my friends has this problem.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Whenever we go out for dinner, her purse becomes invisible too.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54With great power comes great responsibility,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57so I guess we'd better reveal our superhero-themed...
0:18:59 > 0:19:01You'll remember that no-one could lift
0:19:01 > 0:19:03the God of Thunder's mighty weapon,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05apart from this gentleman.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06- Worthy.- How was it done?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Well, it's all rather simple really.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Let's look inside the hammer.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Ah, yeah, you see,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16that's the old capacitive touch sensor and Arduino set up.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20And the solid state relay. Yeah, I knew that.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Absolutely essential.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Oh, oh, I hope his mum didn't need that microwave oven.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Oh, yeah, of course, yeah, batteries,
0:19:26 > 0:19:28you shouldn't forget your batteries.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Ah, now, I understand that -
0:19:30 > 0:19:34a fingerprint sensor, so only the inventor could pick it up.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36I think he sums it up best here.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38So, magnets! That's what...
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Yeah, magnets that get turned off if you're me.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Exactly.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Bananas, they're lovely, aren't they?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48So, why have one when you can have three?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50After all, it is the magic number.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54First up, Tumba Ping Pong
0:19:54 > 0:19:56with a trick that will put a smile on anyone's face -
0:19:56 > 0:19:59especially if the banana gets knocked in sideways.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Oh, don't eat the skin!
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Secondly, we have this gentleman.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Hmm. Hmm?
0:20:16 > 0:20:20He does like to put a lot of fruit into his kid's lunchbox, doesn't he?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Finally, for some reason, this chap wants rid of his bananas.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29I think he's just invented a bananarang.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32He's been anxiously waiting for over 20 minutes now,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34so let's put him out of his misery.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Yes...
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Well, it is past his bedtime.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I'm a terrible sleeper.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Some people count sheep to get to sleep,
0:20:42 > 0:20:43I lay out dominoes.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45And what you're looking at here
0:20:45 > 0:20:47is a whole month without sleep.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Before we go any further, I need to call your attention to one thing
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- and it's that envelope up there with the little window in.- Yeah.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55That's going to be very important later.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- Do not forget about it, whatever happens.- OK.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Now, I've got a pack of cards.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I need you, if it's possible,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03to choose a card for me.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Now they are all different and that's very important.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- What's your name?- Lucky.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Lucky, would you touch the back of any card you'd like for me, Lucky?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- Just touch the back of any one, I don't mind.- That one.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Take it out. Show the camera, but don't show me.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Whatever happens, do not show me.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18I've also got a pen.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- Would you sign your name on the face of the card for me?- OK.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Trying not to show me. I'm not looking, I promise.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Yeah.- You've done that?- Mm-hmm.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27OK, I'm going to take the pen back.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32I'm also going to take the card back and put it right into the middle.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33OK?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- Would you mix this half for me? - OK.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37We're not all judging the way that you shuffle.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39That's how I shuffle. That's how I shuffle.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- And would you shuffle this half for me?- OK.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- So, now your card is completely lost somewhere in the pack.- Yeah.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- And there's nothing in my hands. - Nothing.- Pass the cards back to me.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Thank you. Thank you.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Now, I'm going to attempt to find your card
0:21:51 > 0:21:54and I'm going to try and do it quicker
0:21:54 > 0:21:56than it takes this chain of dominoes to all fall down.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- Really?- Yes.- Wow.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- So, I'm going to be up against the clock. Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Then I'm ready.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Three,
0:22:03 > 0:22:04two,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07one. OK, here we go, I'm going to try and find the card.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Is it here? This one, I think it's this one, yes?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Was that right? No, it would have your name on, hang on.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Wait, what about this? This one? Is it this one here? No.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Or that one? Hang on, wait, what about these? No. Hang on. Wait.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Oh! I know, it can't be any of these
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- because, remember that envelope up there?- Yeah.- Remember that?
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Come with me. Don't knock over the dominoes. Come this way quickly.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Come on. It couldn't be, could it?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28That card that's been up there in the envelope all the time.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Come this way, come this way. Follow me, follow me.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Watch your step, watch your step. Stand here, stand here for me.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Look, see this one, here?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38This card inside the envelope?
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Look, I think it is.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Look, turn it over for me,
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- I don't even want to look. Yes! - THEY GASP
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Now it all makes sense.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Now I know why I can't sleep because look,
0:22:47 > 0:22:51I always knew you'd choose the seven of diamonds.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53And I managed to beat it.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54It is mine as well.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Cables, cables, cables.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02I didn't know they had ten-footers. That's great.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12The sticker speakers.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16so everything will be wireless. Yeah.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- You seen those things work? - No, I haven't.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Oh, my gosh, we... I don't know how they do it actually.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22It's just on a sticker.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Like, the whole component's just like a...
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- That's the speaker. - That's the speaker.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Yeah, and it will pick up the closest, like, playing...
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- And how's the quality? - Uh, it's like this.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34MUSIC PLAYS
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Yeah? You could amp it up with something, though,
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- if you put it on something like... - MUSIC GETS LOUDER
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- It'll, like, pick up the resonance of something.- It's a big difference.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46It is a big difference.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48You can use sticker speakers anywhere,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51but for the best effect, stick them on regular speakers.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Huh?- Are these for sale now? - Yeah.- How much are they?
0:23:54 > 0:23:55They're 25 cents each.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- You're kidding me?!- No.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Yeah.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- I want to buy some. - You want to buy them?- Yeah.- OK.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38For the next 57 seconds...
0:24:41 > 0:24:42Here we are. We've got our cards.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Go on, go on, pick one.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45That's lovely.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Ooh! Crikey, did I eat all of that on my own?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51We good? OK, you can place that card right on top.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- Ah, I see, she's memorised the card. - A little shuffle.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Now, normally, I would find the card -
0:24:57 > 0:24:59but tonight, I'm going to have you be the magician.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- You're going to... - Hang on, I thought it was us.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04All you have to do is tap on the top.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Believe it or not, that's going to bring your card
0:25:07 > 0:25:10right to the top of the deck, kind of like that.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Little hand clap there. I thank you.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- Once or twice?- Once.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16So, you've got to do a double tap. Let's try...
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Cor, I've never been able to shuffle before. This is fun.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Double tap. Excellent.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23That should bring your card right to the top of the deck.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Whoa, impressed even myself there.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Did you see that? Once more, then.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Tap on the top. That should bring it up.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Like that.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33I enjoyed that. And next week,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36we'll do it all again with you as the back of a pantomime horse.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Now to end the show,
0:25:39 > 0:25:43over to Irish magician Keith Barry for our big finish.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45This is going to be dynamite.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49What we're about to use is a couple of sticks of dynamite today.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Told you.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Here's the catch.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55This stick of dynamite, right here, is NOT a real stick of dynamite.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- Although, it looks the exact same as these other five, agreed?- Yes, yes.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00What we're going to do is take this stick
0:26:00 > 0:26:02and mix it amongst these other five.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03Ooh, careful.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- So, now, you probably don't know which one is the fake, do you?- No.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08OK, tie this blindfold onto me.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Do a double knot so it doesn't come off.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13Excellent job.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Now, give them a good mix up
0:26:15 > 0:26:17and then line them all up.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Keith's got an audience member mixing volatile explosives,
0:26:20 > 0:26:23who's probably thinking, "Hmm, I wish I'd chosen to watch the trick
0:26:23 > 0:26:26"that just has a load of dominoes falling over."
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- OK.- Now I want you to take my right hand...
0:26:29 > 0:26:32..and place it over the outer most stick
0:26:32 > 0:26:34and tell me when we're over it.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35- Am I over it?- Yes.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36OK, place it on the next one.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38OK, for some reason I'm getting a feeling
0:26:38 > 0:26:40that the fake one could be that one.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Not sure, but it could...
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Can you just let me grab a hold of it?
0:26:44 > 0:26:45I'm not sure, take my left hand
0:26:45 > 0:26:48and place it over the outermost one out here.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50OK, the next one.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Now go back.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53OK, give me that one.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57I think it might be one of these two.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Yeah, now's not the time to be doubtful, Keith.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02David, can you lead me up somewhere safe away from all these people?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- OK.- So, he thinks one of these two sticks isn't real dynamite,
0:27:06 > 0:27:08but has he got it right?
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Dave leads explosive-clutching Keith away from the crowd for safety
0:27:12 > 0:27:14to a position about six feet away,
0:27:14 > 0:27:15so that'll be fine(!)
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Sensibly, the crowd are taking the best precautions -
0:27:21 > 0:27:25sticking their fingers in their ears.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27The rejected dynamite has been planted and lit,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30and Keith still hasn't worked out if one of the sticks in his hands
0:27:30 > 0:27:32is the dummy.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Well, this is a good way to find out.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38This really is very dangerous stuff,
0:27:38 > 0:27:41so please don't copy this at home with anything explosive -
0:27:41 > 0:27:43especially if you live near me.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47He still looks confused. Come on, Keith!
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Ah, hurray, he's thrown away an exploder
0:27:53 > 0:27:56but he still doesn't know if the other stick is the dummy.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02And there goes the others.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03He's done it!
0:28:03 > 0:28:05And let's face it, if he hadn't,
0:28:05 > 0:28:09that would've been a really weird day out for all those people.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Well, the audience are suitably impressed,
0:28:11 > 0:28:15the caravan club members in the next field aren't too happy.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16In fact, after a complaint,
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Keith is now helping police with their enquiries.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22That's all for now.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26I'm off to sell my camping James Bond ideas to the Broccoli family.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27The Spy Who Towed Me,
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Live And Let Down The Airbed,
0:28:29 > 0:28:30Never Say Backpacking Again,
0:28:30 > 0:28:32From The New Forest With Love...
