I love this show for displaying the random trivia that celebrities know and are able to recite in almost disturbing detail

Its kind of endearing how unsure Daniel was even though he was 100% correct.

1:56 Lee ruining the continuity with his right hand there

[apjtv]

I'm just imagining doing this with an ox...that takes either a hell of a lot of skill, or taking advantage of the fact you're doing magic in a time before glasses.

Harry Potter has learnt a lot from Hermoine. Very well done, Harry.

[him]

I mean that trick is unbelievably simple with a dove, but how the hell do you do it with an ox?!

[DanBrown]

I'd like to see that magician do that trick with an ox now....

[samwest]

Scott really put his head down to study that trick.

[CraigNiel]

0:32 A very Eric Morecambe-esque facial expression by Alan there. lol

[pjabrony]

He wasn't sleeping during Professor Binns's class.

[HighNoon]

With an ox you say… now that’s impressive!

[DiafolEternal]

now do it with an ox!
A bird is hand sized and "easy" (not easy ofc, but can figure it out) but i cant even picture it on a huge ox lol

[amanekabbaj]

What episode is this? I’d love to see the full version

[Craamron]

He didn't fall asleep in all of Professor Binns' classes then

[ignorasmus]

Hermoine would have rattled it out with complete confidence.

[theoriginalchefboyoboy]

Graham missed a chance to do his "pull my finger" trick...

[danesorensen]

You can edit it out but I won't forget:

Debbie McGee.

[alasdairduncan]

The magician really fluffed that. You can see the fake head pop out of his sleeve before he pretends to remove it.

[slipoch]

Given they have found an example of the cups & balls pre-dating the papyrus in hieroglyphics on soome of the tomb walls, I guess it's 'in the book' because it's on papyrus?

[edmorrison]

This trick is better when you don't flash the beak for all the world to see!😆
