Ashley Banjo from Diversity's Strange Request - The Magicians - Episode 1 - BBC One

[SecretCelebi]

It's pretty obvious what they did but at least they performed it well, unlike most of the other people that tried it

[burtonboomer]

This trick is called metomorphisis.

[slowphobia]

Simple and obvious but performed like geniuses

[potatoboy9]

preety obvious however performed very well

[Friiiandiiize]

La musique trop dla bombe/The music exelent

[Mrnaveenta]

What was obvious

Anyone tell me!! I don't really get the trick

[titch12345ful]

ASHLEY IS A BABE AND ITS REAL SO IF U DONT BELIEVE DONT WATCH

[ellityle25]

lmao the cloth got cought in the trap door what idiots

[SausageMunchingNinja]

How does this trick work??

[jbLover9811]

bit obvious haha but whatever...still fun :)

[superbiebergal]

wow

[HaNsEL091]

they always use mirrors in the bottom of the platform

[helloimelliott]

Sorry. I can't enjoy an illusion this crap and obvious.

[fifibellNZ]

the only good thing bout this was that ashley was in it xx

[Ajayv0]

What's with the cheap box that looks like it's painted with trim? Gotta admit, you can hardly see the mirror when it comes out. How can they build such a precision mirror when the box looks so junky?

[lovegwftw]

the trick should really be called ' How to make 3 minutes and 7 seconds of your life disappear' 

[SUICIDELABEL]

zzzZZZZzzZzZzZzZZzzzzZzzZzz

[Speekerful]

We seriously need to take Lessons in magic from Cyril Takayama. This was so obvious

[Rqwerty123456]

That was awful.

[thenashus4]

wow that is obvious, i thought they got rid of little hidden doors

[x0Dart0x]

2:12 xD rope xD

[amfikz]

stupid americans :D its trick for 2 year old kids

[Rachel23C]

lol like that wasont obvious how they did it

[88SkyLink]

the levitation trick was rubbish, I mean there was ropes attached to the box that were VISIBLE

[jaspersnoncool]

@88SkyLink wow, that is the most retarded thing i have ever heard. the levitation wasn't part of the trick, they just lifted it up to prove there was nothing there.

[88SkyLink]

@jaspersnoncool

Then what was with the spastic hand movements as the box approaches

[jaspersnoncool]

@88SkyLink Added effect I suppose.

[duckpoo123]

@88SkyLink you are some sort of retard....

[88SkyLink]

@duckpoo123

Calm down man, dont get so hyped up over a comment

[Alicerunt]

i think he was to in love with himself to actually concentrate on this 'magic' trick.

[MissYoungMula1]

The trick might be rubbish but you cannot deny the fact that ASHLEY BANJO IS SOO FIT!

[sk8erboi251]

so lame, that "magician" should hang his head in shame

[XxLvewxX]

I Have A Request, Turn The Box Around And Show Us The Trap Door Which We All Know Is There. LOL Talk About Obvious!! With Tricks Like This, It's Fair To Say ANYONE Can Be A Magician.

[cgDominic]

this rubbish magic trick on tv? sheet stuck on the hidden door, couldn't be more obvious. seriously... wtf

[littleliondog]

i love diversity but the trick wasnt that good

[mittfh]

Oh dear. Took them ages to swap places, a corner of the sheet got stuck in the trap door, the box had to be manually shoved into position once it landed back onto the platform (presumably to avoid touching the hinge)... they really should have rehearsed this a bit more!

[lexusfann]

@mittfh great catch on the sheet getting stuck under the trap door! i missed it until you saud it! great catch. cheers mate

[DragonCuber]

You can see the mirror underneath the box for God's sake.. >_>

[kingt34]

Hmmmm..... nah I'm just gonna go watch Darren Brown on 4OD rofl

[MissYoungMula1]

OMG Ashley is so fit...

[11freedomfighter101]

lol to bad the sheet got stuck in the trap door.

[lottie5000]

what trick is this called?

[guitarwes04]

Magicians are suppose to have a "lovely assistant" not some gay man in leather.

[LWEST27620]

@guitarwes04 1. Ashley Banjo is not gay, has a girlfriend and 2. if ur gonna diss this programme dont watch it and 3. dont diss Ashley Banjo, hes clearly more of a man than u are!!! This programme is very entertaining, even if it does break magician's codes

[chocobolvr832]

errrr....why is Telephone playing?

[RedOctober44]

the wires that are holding the box are visible:-(

[Gellis2009]

@RedOctober44 lol wasnt part of the trick mate

[Perfection7tv]

SPOILERS!! dont read if you don't wanna know the OBVIOUS. Ashley just goes into a hidden bit on the platform, no one is in the box when its in the air, they change places, the magician goes i nthe box then comes back out when the box is done. Oldest trick around.

thumbs up if you agree thats how its done?

[spress97]

@Perfection7tv duhhh

[kingt34]

@Perfection7tv You forgot just 1 detail: They make it look like the platform is about half a foot above ground, but actually It is literally smoke and mirrors. The mirrors are placed at an engle to make it looke like there is space under the platform and the smoke disguises the rest. This show really dissappointed me..... no interesting or original tricks used.

[shanethemainman]

@Perfection7tv Ahahaha i think they messed it up when the silk got stuck in the door within the platform at 148

[Jshorts8]

@Perfection7tv Why spoil the illusion for those who want to enjoy?

[DazzledRose3193]

@Perfection7tv can't you just enjoy the trick?? Stop being so cynical!

[LoveAlwaysHopes100]

@Perfection7tv yeh but Ashley Banjo is in it, so who cares just enjoy it, and if you dont like it go watch sometime else if you got to be perfect all the time.

[dvisdvis]

@Perfection7tv You must be Sherlock, aint ya?

[radocaj121]

@Perfection7tv under the box is metal plate with stick in middle he could go under

[orlagh242]

@Perfection7tv how those the magician get IN the box

[fragilepaper]

please upload the other acts, they too were awesome!!

[DOCTORxxWHOxxFAN]

That was pretty good :)

[invaderzimismyfav]

that was so simple even i get how to do that

[jackrandall]

Mirrors in the platform hide the fact it has a compartment.

[puppy12luv]

awful. at 1:42 you see exactly how its done.

[danhall789]

That's so obvious ¬_¬

[stexual]

@danhall789

If your going on about seeing the wires. Your so stupid.

[botchok5]

@stexual You're.....

[itfben]

terrible!

[245thegreat]

@itfben erm u do better then k thx bai

[itfben]

@245thegreat i dont have to do better i wouldn't waste peoples time trying, just like these people shouldn't. if you guna do something shit - don't bother.

plus they should be good they are getting paid to do it!

[245thegreat]

@itfben Depends what you call 'shit'.

I doubt you'd be able to do anything close to what these guys can achieve.

There are much more dangerous things they can do but what you are failing to remember is this is the BBC and they have restrictions on what they are allowed to broadcast.

Get your facts right...
