Mel Giedroyc is our guide though another collection of clips from the worlds of magic, stunts and pranks. There's animal magic from a cat on a magic carpet and a tortoise doing the classic cup and ball trick, a terrified Nicole Scherzinger is driven at breakneck speed along a twisty road by a mind reader who can't see where he's going, there's a trick in a working office when a magician disappears into a photocopier, and this week the show's own viewers dazzle us with their magic powers - floating satsumas, showing just how easy it is to escape from a straitjacket, levitating a banknote, and demonstrating that hypnotism doesn't always go to plan. Some of the very best in magic is combined with a few of those moments the performer would much rather forget. And the answer to our weekly question 'Where on Earth is Debbie McGee?' has an extra-terrestrial answer.
