0:00:02 > 0:00:04Come join us, one and all, in our world of magic.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07A world where seeing isn't always believing...
0:00:07 > 0:00:10where you can't tell fact from fiction.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Well, you don't get that nose from telling a lot of fact.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17Tonight, you will see boats that shrink...
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Did you just shrink someone's boat?
0:00:19 > 0:00:23..laundry changing in a blink and an act in need of a rethink...
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Well, I'm not touching that two of clubs.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30..with stunts and illusions that confound the greatest of minds...
0:00:30 > 0:00:31and Joey Essex.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Is that Michael Jackson?
0:00:32 > 0:00:35MUSIC: Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Welcome to Now You See it.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51You've heard of magicians cutting a woman in half.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Well, this one's cutting a Pink Lady in half.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Slow way to make a fruit salad.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Apples may keep doctors away,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00but they're like catnip to magicians.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03He's not entirely happy with it, though.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05It's gone from red to green.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Does that mean he can eat it, or it's safe to cross the road?
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Though, magicians can be very fussy eaters.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13This one will only eat the centre
0:01:13 > 0:01:17of his non-specific American brand of biscuit.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20And even then it's touch and go whether he'll like it or not.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24In it goes. Oh, spat straight out.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25Don't offer it to me.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Anyone got a bill I could borrow?
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Matt Franco here is on the scrounge for money
0:01:28 > 0:01:30from some students.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Bit of a turnaround.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34If you could take a picture of it,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36but make sure you get the serial number in the picture.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Perfect.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Fold it in half once with the serial number facing out,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42so you'll be able to recognise it if you see it again.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43OK.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46And, um, let's see here. You have some stuff over here.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Yeah, I just went grocery shopping. - You just went shopping.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Do you have any good stuff in there?
0:01:50 > 0:01:51Don't be silly. They're students.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54I have got some ramen, a Monster, M&Ms.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Told you.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Raman, I lived off that when I was a student over here. That's cool.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Um, could you...?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Actually, just hold out your hand, just like that.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Perfect. I'm not going to touch it.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06All right. Watch this. Don't blink or you'll miss it, OK?
0:02:06 > 0:02:07This is your bill.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Watch. One, two, three.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- What? What? - LAUGHTER
0:02:16 > 0:02:18What the...?!
0:02:18 > 0:02:21This is the...this is the flavour packet.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Those flavour packets are full of salt, you know.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25They'd be better off eating the dollar bill.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26But where's that gone?
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Could you break apart the noodles carefully?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Oh...- ALL:- Oh!
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Are you kidding?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Phew! Cos if they'd lost that dollar,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45those students wouldn't eat for the next three days.
0:02:45 > 0:02:4777413A.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Turn it towards the camera, show it to the camera. Bring your phone.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Yeah, exactly the same note.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Some great magic so far,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59but time now for a very special Magic Moment.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04OK, there's nothing special about this trick.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Ball into cup, very bog-standard.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09The audience is looking pretty nonplussed too.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12It's not exactly Dynamo, is it?
0:03:12 > 0:03:13But with just a little shake,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16open the cup, the ball's not there, and...
0:03:19 > 0:03:21LAUGHTER
0:03:21 > 0:03:24No wonder this was an internet sensation.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Can't wait to see him try it on the hyenas.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28You crazy guy.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32What? One animal clip not enough for you?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Well, let's take a look at some more in tonight's Animal Magic.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Here's Japanese international cat sensation Maru
0:03:40 > 0:03:42showing his fans how tidy he is.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49See? He puts himself away after he's finished playing.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50But keep watching.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Whoa! A very top-drawer bit of magic.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Although strictly speaking,
0:03:57 > 0:04:01that drawer is for knives, forks and dogs.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Who wouldn't do anything
0:04:02 > 0:04:04for the taste of lettuce?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Yep, even float in the air.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Mind you, if all I ate was lettuce, I'd be as light as that.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Aw! He's really enjoying it.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Look at his cheeky little face.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21The tortoise is having fun too.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24So, this morning....
0:04:24 > 0:04:27OK, we're back with the genius that is Michael Carbonaro,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30today pulling a traditional first-day-on-the-job prank
0:04:30 > 0:04:32with this young fellow.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34They have a lot of people who just hire guys like us
0:04:34 > 0:04:36to, like, clean their boats and polish them
0:04:36 > 0:04:38and wax them and stuff.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39So, this morning I've just been, like...
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I did all these boats over here, the fibreglass ones.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I put it on everything. They say you put a thin coat of this stuff.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47It reeks. I've been throwing them away.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49And then you activate it with water.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Just spray the water on it and activate it.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53So, I'll show you how we do that.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57MOTOR REVS
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Here, you want to do that side? - Yeah.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Yeah.- Yeah. All right.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06You flip this and do... Hit that side.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Oh, you hit this thing too?
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Yeah, a little bit.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10He's got the paddle
0:05:10 > 0:05:13and I think we all know what creek he's going to be up.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- ENGINE STOPS - Good.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17And then with the...
0:05:17 > 0:05:18The wood stuff's not...
0:05:18 > 0:05:21It's not that sunny, but wood stuff's not supposed
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- to get that much of, like, direct sunlight...- Mm-hm.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27..so I cover the wood stuff up while that sets.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28So, do...
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Is it like...? Oh, my gosh.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Dude.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35What?!
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Absolutely flummoxed.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Did you just shrink someone's boat? - That's not funny.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43"Did you just shrink someone's boat?"
0:05:43 > 0:05:46That's a great name for Vince Vaughn's next film.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Does it get bigger...ever?
0:05:49 > 0:05:50I don't know.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Do you want to radio in?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55I don't want to radio in, no, cos I don't want to get in trouble.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Yeah, but I don't think there's really any way around this.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I can't believe that happened.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- Dude, I'm going to say you did it. - No!
0:06:05 > 0:06:06No way!
0:06:06 > 0:06:10It's like Jaws - "We're going to need a bigger boat."
0:06:10 > 0:06:13But how did that stunt go down with our magic fan?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15LAUGHTER
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Yeah, pretty well.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Chris Korn is on a date with EastEnders' Samantha Womack
0:06:23 > 0:06:25to see Agatha Christie's Mousetrap
0:06:25 > 0:06:28while it's on a limited run of...64 years.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I'm going to show you an interesting way
0:06:32 > 0:06:33to get two tickets for one.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Yeah, but it's not two-for-one Wednesdays, Chris.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Time to use your magic.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39There you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Yeah, I'm going to hold my hand here, right?
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Slide your hand against mine. Slide it against mine.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Now I need you to stay completely still.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Stay completely still. Yeah. Yeah.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Don't drop the ticket.- OK. - Don't drop it. You got it?- Yeah.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Slowly.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03SHE GASPS
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Oh, don't!- Feel. - LAUGHTER
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Can you feel it?- Yeah! - Can you feel it? Feel that?
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Oh, my...
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Great. Or you could just slide it under the door.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Woo!
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Looks like I'm going to the theatre.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Unfortunately, they do have to sit in the same seat
0:07:19 > 0:07:20on each other's knees.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21It was amazing.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28With so many magicians vying for work at so few birthday parties,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30some take to earning a bit on the side with a cleaning job.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35No, you're not watching this in fast forward.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37He really is very quick,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40making the rubbish vanish in an instant.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42He's welcome round my house any time.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47He'd certainly be handy in a spillage situation like this.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51And who hasn't wanted to do this when your picture's buffering?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Now, magic for anyone who worries too much about germs.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Watch.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00He didn't touch the ring pull.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01And since we last saw him,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04our magical cleaner has cleaned the whole food hall.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Odd thing is, he doesn't actually work there.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07It's his lunch break.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Hello.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Meanwhile in a German branch of Curry's,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16a woman's asked to draw a picture on a blank card.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Nothing unusual about that.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- HE SPEAKS IN GERMAN - Mm-hm.- OK?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31And just two hours later, she's finished it.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34It's not exactly Van Gogh, but it'll do.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36HE SPEAKS IN GERMAN
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Now, what's the world's weirdest TV sales assistant
0:08:43 > 0:08:45going to do with that pile of cards?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52MAN ON TV SPEAKS GERMAN
0:08:54 > 0:08:57MAGICIAN SPEAKS GERMAN
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Incredible. The television was part of the trick.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Which reminds me, Chris in Doncaster,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08the number you're thinking of is four.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Ah, great.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10It's the brilliant Yif.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14If I was asked who my favourite Chinese/French magician was,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17he'd win...by a nose.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Ironically, when it gets to 12 inches long,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30it turns into a foot.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Sadly, seconds later, he sneezed and blew the wall off.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Warrior two, pick a card.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49The Amazing Barry, now, skilfully combining magic
0:09:49 > 0:09:52and yoga to make...magic yoga.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Don't let me see it, though.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- And I will stand here...- You getting it?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- ..in tree pose. - LAUGHTER
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Right. Here.- I've never done yoga, so I'll take your word for it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06All right. We'll just put it right there in the...
0:10:06 > 0:10:09All right, perfect. Now, can you shuffle cards?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Not well.- Can you try?
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Just mix 'em up for me
0:10:12 > 0:10:14and I'll stand here serenely while you do that.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17LAUGHTER
0:10:17 > 0:10:19But do it quickly cos this isn't as easy as it looks.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Here. Here.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Here we go.- Got it?- Got it. - Perfect.- OK.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26All right. Now this last pose is the most difficult one.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- All right.- Because you see, uh...
0:10:28 > 0:10:29- And I'm going to need your help.- OK.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I'm going to hand you the deck.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32- Hold it like this.- All right.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Here in a moment when I ask for it back,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I want you to make sure that two of clubs
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- is facing that wall over there, OK? - All right.- Make sense?- Yes.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Because this last pose is the most difficult...- All right.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43- ..so I really need your help.- OK.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52This is a bit corny, and I'm not talking about his feet.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54It's already amazing, Barry.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55I know.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57All right, now make sure that two of clubs
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- is facing that wall over there. - Yeah, OK.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02And then place the cards in between my feet.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04OK.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Perfect.- Brilliant.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Let's see if we can do this. - LAUGHTER
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Is your card the verruca of spades?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16This is the best card trick ever!
0:11:18 > 0:11:21All right. And I think we're down to one card.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Well, I'm not touching that two of clubs, where it is,
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- I can tell you that. - LAUGHTER
0:11:26 > 0:11:27- Let's see.- Oh, you...!
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- LAUGHTER - There we go!
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Look at that - a club foot.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34For his next trick, Barry will perform the downward-facing dog
0:11:34 > 0:11:35without breaking wind.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Impossible.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38That is why he's called Amazing Barry.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39- That's right.- Well done.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Ah, The truly awe-inspiring sight
0:11:43 > 0:11:46of a magician at the height of his powers.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49This is quite simply astonishing stuff
0:11:49 > 0:11:51from Daniel Chesterfield,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53who would like to make it clear that any similarity
0:11:53 > 0:11:56between his name and that of David Copperfield
0:11:56 > 0:11:57is entirely deliberate.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Just look at that.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Inspirational.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12Here he is moving a tram using only the power of a tram.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Truly cosmic.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20If you've been caught on camera impressing with magic like Daniel
0:12:20 > 0:12:23or maybe you filmed a trick going badly, badly wrong,
0:12:23 > 0:12:25share it with the rest of us.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Go on. Visit...
0:12:28 > 0:12:30..for all the details.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32And who knows? You could be tricking our viewers
0:12:32 > 0:12:35in exactly the same way that Daniel isn't.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Daniel Chesterfield, everyone. Give it up.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43This chap has spent hours
0:12:43 > 0:12:45of valuable computer gaming time
0:12:45 > 0:12:46practising this trick.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Definitely worth it in the end, but even more extraordinary
0:12:51 > 0:12:53is this next gentleman's ping-pong.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56He's got find some way of amusing himself
0:12:56 > 0:12:58while he waits for his dinner guests to arrive.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00They were due an hour ago.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Mate, mate, I don't think anyone's coming.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Good job he spent all
0:13:08 > 0:13:09his time arranging plates
0:13:09 > 0:13:11instead of making the beef cobbler.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21More high-octane ping-pong action now,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24as Phil Mitchell meets up with his business associates
0:13:24 > 0:13:26and gets more than he bargained for.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Phil wonders, "What's going on?" as do the rest of us.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45But the real question Phil wants answered is,
0:13:45 > 0:13:49"Is that prosecco in the glasses or a sparkling rose?"
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Coming up, more magic, more mayhem.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Pick a card, any card.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59Oh, no. Dropped it.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Aaah!
0:14:01 > 0:14:03And you'll be as enrapt in our big finish
0:14:03 > 0:14:06as Franz Harary is in his clingfilm.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07Let's do it.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10But first...
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- Hey, Joe.- Hello. - Do you want to come see the hangar?
0:14:13 > 0:14:14So, what are we actually doing?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- We're going to a hangar. - What's a hangar?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19It's where you hang planes up.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Ben Hanlin is out to prove Abe Lincoln was right
0:14:22 > 0:14:24in saying we can fool some of the people all of the time.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Oh, hello, Joey Essex.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29If time didn't just move linear,
0:14:29 > 0:14:32if it moved cyclical, then you can bend it.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35If you can bend the light you can bend time.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36See what I mean?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39- D'you know what I mean?- No.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Come round here, come in the demo zone.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Stand here, let me show you.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44You're going to love this, it's wicked.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47It's going to...it's going to proper freak you out.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49A minute, mate, stay there.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Wisely, Joey is left in his own containment zone to keep him
0:14:55 > 0:14:56safe from himself.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00TYRES SCREECH
0:15:03 > 0:15:04What the...?!
0:15:12 > 0:15:15TYRES SCREECH
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Looking more confused than ever now, Joey.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19See?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Do you see how the light displaced it? Do you see that?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- What the hell is this?- Is what?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- What's that?- That?
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Well, when I said the light displaced,
0:15:29 > 0:15:31for you, I was only gone, what, a couple seconds?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- I changed time.- Who is that?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- I went back to the '80s. - Is that Michael Jackson?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Yeah. Michael.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Who is this?
0:15:42 > 0:15:46MUSIC: Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Oh, my God!
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- Did you see how we went back in time? You saw that?- Yeah.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I see... I don't know how you get from there to there,
0:15:58 > 0:15:59I don't get it.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Have you ever seen anything disappear like that before?
0:16:03 > 0:16:04No.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09- Have you ever seen anyone time travel like that before?- No.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10It's good, innit?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Yeah, pretty decent. Or as Joey says...
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Sick.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Whatever that means.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Magicians are well known for their love of clothes, so let's
0:16:18 > 0:16:22enjoy three clothes-based tricks, seeing as three is the magic number.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Firstly, Laurent Beretta is just popping home to change,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29and without the help of any camera tricks.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Brilliant!
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Especially as he lives on the 26th floor and the lift's out of order.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40There's some clothes I don't put in the laundry just because...
0:16:40 > 0:16:41Like this shirt.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Oh, sweet!
0:16:45 > 0:16:47But good luck trying to fold that neatly.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50And finally, this T-shirt's been flying off the shelves.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58But now, as usual, Ben Hart is in a hurry.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Now as you know, I'm a magician,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03and I love to do magic up against the clock,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07and today my timing mechanism will be this, a sand timer.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09I'm going to turn it upside down.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11In the time it takes for the sand to flow from the top chamber
0:17:11 > 0:17:14to the bottom chamber, I'll do something really amazing.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15What, boil an egg?
0:17:15 > 0:17:19And I'm hoping in order to do this I might be able to borrow your ring.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21OK, he's not going to boil an egg.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Thank you.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Now, can you confirm that this is the only ring you own like this?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Yes.- And you'll recognise it when you see it again?- I would, yes.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30OK. I'm going to leave it inside this wine glass.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33That way I can't easily manipulate it,
0:17:33 > 0:17:35the camera can get a good close up of it.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38And I'd like you to hold that by the stem for me.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Because I'm going to cover the whole thing with this cloth.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43You say cloth, Ben, I'd say duster.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46In a minute, something very strange is going to happen inside the glass.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- You can hear the ring rattling around inside?- Yeah.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51In a minute, it's going to start to change shape.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Would you hold out your hand for me?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55And would you touch the side of the glass?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Now, this happens with different people at different rates.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59I don't want you to lie to make me look good,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01but if you feel something happening inside the glass,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- do tell me.- OK.- Yeah.- Yeah? - Yeah.- Feel something?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06The funny thing is, I think it's worked, you can let go.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Thank you. Cos look, that ring's transformed,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13and now all that's left is just...
0:18:14 > 0:18:17It's like a very civilised middle-class version
0:18:17 > 0:18:19of the end of the Lord Of The Rings.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- SHE LAUGHS - We're quitters.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24How did I do for time? Look.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25No way.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Linked to the very centre of the sand timer,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- do you see?- No way.- There's a ring.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Can you confirm that that really is your ring?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- That is my ring. - How is that possible?
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Now, nobody's been anywhere near the sand timer, it's vanished,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42it's reappeared and now we need to get it off.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44And there's only one way to get it off, which is like this.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Yeah, Ben's invitation to perform at the Antiques Roadshow wrap party
0:18:51 > 0:18:52has just been cancelled.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54It's not as bad as breaking a mirror -
0:18:54 > 0:18:57with an egg timer, it's only three minutes bad luck.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59But that there belongs to you.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- Thank you very much for helping me. - Thank you.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- That was amazing, thank you. - Thank you.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08It's the height of summer, and at an olde English theme pub
0:19:08 > 0:19:10in Stratford, a tourist prepares to sit outside.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Having swivelled his cap to impress the lady opposite,
0:19:22 > 0:19:23he asks for the bill.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28But that drink was pricey, time for a quick exit.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43And like Merlin himself,
0:19:43 > 0:19:46he disappears in a puff of air freshener.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49But where, oh, where could he be? Nobody knows.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51At least he left a tip.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55If a pony's 25 quid, a bunny would be about, what, four quid?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01OK, it's time to ask, "How do they do that?"
0:20:01 > 0:20:02as Catherine Mills shows us
0:20:02 > 0:20:05a trick with the stuff you spit out at the dentist's.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08When you're here in the Alps, one of the most important things
0:20:08 > 0:20:10is to keep yourself hydrated.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Now, you can just drink fruit juice,
0:20:12 > 0:20:17but when it comes to hydration, nothing beats water.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19What! But how?!
0:20:19 > 0:20:23To make this effect work, all you need is a glass...
0:20:25 > 0:20:29..a piece of coloured plastic to fit the glass, and a cloth.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Put the plastic in to the glass and then fill the glass up with water
0:20:36 > 0:20:40to the top of the plastic giving the illusion of a coloured drink.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45When you cover the glass up with the cloth, you remove
0:20:45 > 0:20:48the piece of plastic, revealing clear water.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51You don't have to be in the Alps for that trick to work.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Dynamo's on his travels as well. He's in India, placing
0:20:57 > 0:21:01a lighted candle on the River Ganges and making it float away.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05AUDIENCE MUTTERS IN HINDI
0:21:17 > 0:21:21The crowd's already impressed, but watch this.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Whoa, I don't know whose birthday it is, but they're really old.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Absolutely beautiful, plus it provides an exciting assault
0:21:40 > 0:21:43course for the handful of people enjoying an evening swim.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Right, brace yourself for the bit of the show where we declare...
0:21:54 > 0:21:56"You don't see that every day!"
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Well, be honest, have you ever seen someone doing a handstand,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10then firing a bow and arrow using their feet?
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Of course, this is entirely reckless and shouldn't be tried at home.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19She's not even using the right yoga gear, which as amazing Barry showed,
0:22:19 > 0:22:22was a zoot suit, a hat and a pack of cards.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Bull's-eye! Although it is an odd place to aim.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Take a bow. Or a bow. Whatever.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35You see this watch? It's turned into money.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37£1.29 by the look of things.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Although a handy tip, you can achieve the same result
0:22:40 > 0:22:41at your local cash converters.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49High time to showcase the talents of Israeli magician Hezi Dean.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52We join him as he asks a woman why she's chosen to wear
0:22:52 > 0:22:55an entirely pristine white outfit in the middle of a salvage yard.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58And then he asks her to pick a card.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01HE SPEAKS IN OWN LANGUAGE
0:23:01 > 0:23:03She selects the king of diamonds,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05and he then gets her to sign the card.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Inviting her to lean on him to do so,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10even though that's not strictly necessary.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14THEY SPEAK IN OWN LANGUAGE
0:23:22 > 0:23:25In time-honoured fashion, her card is placed back in the pack.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29You just can't beat a simple, old-fashioned card trick, can you?
0:23:29 > 0:23:32She's certainly enjoying it, looking relaxed and happy,
0:23:32 > 0:23:33not a care in the world.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Unfortunately, it's at this point that Hezi asks her to put on
0:23:38 > 0:23:41a safety harness and leads her to a large industrial crane.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46We've come a long way from the simple card trick, haven't we?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48And indeed, from the ground.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02She's still smiling, but let's be honest, she's terrified.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Hezi is going to bungee jump whilst brandishing a sword.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Whoa, careful!
0:24:08 > 0:24:12It'll be an absolute tragedy if that sword cuts through the rope.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15After all, we'd never know if he'd found the right card.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Is the card Hezi speared on the way down her card?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Why yes, the king of diamonds!
0:24:34 > 0:24:36So after innocently choosing a card,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39being hoisted 60ft in the air and watching a man plunge to
0:24:39 > 0:24:43his near doom with a sharp object, would she like to see another trick?
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Ha! No, Hezi, she wouldn't.
0:24:47 > 0:24:52Looks like another dice trick. Oh, sorry, it's a card trick.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Yo, girl, what's your favourite colour?
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- White.- Oh, my. - SHE GASPS
0:25:02 > 0:25:05I think you'll find white's a tone, not a colour.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06What's up?
0:25:06 > 0:25:07One, two, three...
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Jason here has an age-old problem. Can it be solved by magic?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Yes, ten divided by four doesn't go.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Meaning we'll then be dividing eleven by four.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Bam! Whoa!
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Pretty good. His mate then asks the burning question.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Of course.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58We're nearly done, but not before our big finish.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02And, yes, it's over to half man, half vacuum-packed sausage,
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Mr Franz Harary.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06He's freshly wrapped in clingfilm
0:26:06 > 0:26:09and chained in an empty disused carpet warehouse.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10What could be going on?
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Even though the clock hasn't started ticking, in my mind,
0:26:14 > 0:26:17time is already running out.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Well, I do have a function to go to after this, Franz,
0:26:20 > 0:26:21so if you wouldn't mind...
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Uh-oh, this doesn't look good.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Well, it seems Franz has just 90 seconds to
0:26:30 > 0:26:34escape from his cling-film nightmare before the building explodes!
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Can he do it?
0:26:36 > 0:26:41This is the most dangerous escape I have ever attempted.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Now seriously, if you have clingfilm at home, please,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48please don't copy Franz - his mum's going to give him
0:26:48 > 0:26:51a strong ticking off for using the entire roll.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54He's tightly wrapped, isn't he?
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Unlike the explosives, there's no chance he'll be going off.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Surely that's not right for a grown man.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08But Franz likes his pony tail.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10See, that's the problem with clingfilm -
0:27:10 > 0:27:12it's always difficult to find the end bit.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Takes ages to unwrap a pitta bread sandwich.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Admittedly, Franz's issue is a bit more life threatening,
0:27:19 > 0:27:20but, gah, it drives me crazy!
0:27:24 > 0:27:26He's really struggling here.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Could be worse, though, he could be wrapped in clingfilm
0:27:28 > 0:27:30and trapped in a Tupperware box.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Only 30 seconds to go, Franz. That's right, rip it to pieces!
0:27:38 > 0:27:41You've still got top get out of the chains and manacles.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Ah, he's free. Come on!
0:27:58 > 0:28:01But he's still got to get out of the building before it explodes.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06Run, Franz, run like a...
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Oh, I don't know what that run looks like.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Blimey.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Wow, he's escaped, but only just.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14On the plus side,
0:28:14 > 0:28:18there were some brilliant carpet bargains to be had in the fire sale.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20That's your lot for now.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23We had frights, fun and plenty of frolic.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Join us next time for more.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Now, if you don't mind, I think at last I've found someone
0:28:28 > 0:28:30who'll find my jokes funny.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32What's white and swings through trees?
0:28:32 > 0:28:33A meringue-u-tan.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37LAUGHTER Bye!
