The concept of Magician Impossible came
from my want and, I suppose, need to try

and push magic forward.

You know, I've been performing magic
since I was, like, 11 years old.

But the way that magic was presented
when I was younger, you know, watching

people, you know, getting inspired by
them, was a little bit too old

If I was to go out there and start
performing the way I'd watched other

performers perform, then I'd probably be
ridiculed, especially by the friends in

the area I grew up in.

So I wanted to make it relevant for a
start, you know, for people my own age.

It had to be visual so that even without
words, you know, you could understand

what was happening.

You know, it needed to be, I suppose,
magic that you'd never seen before.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

There's a lot of things in the show
which I think people would have laughed

me. When I first said the concept to
him, like, you know, people never

that I'd be able to walk across the
River Thames.

I've been talking about that for the
last six years.

And, you know, 2011 was the year that
we, you know, did The Impossible.

I think the biggest difference between
Magician Impossible and any other magic

show that's been out there is, first
off, we've shown a story.

In what I do, you know, most of the time
you watch a magic show and there's some

amazing shows out there. I'm not taking
anything away from them.

But I don't feel you really get a sense
of who the person is. You know, people

want to follow someone or want to, you
know, watch somebody who they can relate

to. It doesn't matter if I'm performing
for a celebrity or I'm performing for a

guy in the street or a little kid.

It's all about bringing people together.

How you doing? Good, how are you?

I'm pretty good.

I want to try something.

Cool. Just think of a playing card.

Yeah. You got one?

Don't make it an easy one.

Cool, yeah.

Think I know what it is.

I've got a pack of cards.

I'm going to make a prediction. I'm
going to turn around, turn one card

Yeah.

Hopefully it'll be your card.

Okay. Just look at me again.

Yeah.

I've made my prediction.

I can't change my mind now.

The card I turned over is right there.

Name the card out loud. Three of hearts.

Dude,

that's crazy, bro.

I'm from Bradford, a small town.

You know, quite a humble beginning for,
I guess you'd say.

And I managed to go from council estate
to royal estate.

And if I can do it... then literally
anyone can.

Getting Bradford in the show, for me, is
very important.

You know, I grew up there, and I'm
extremely proud of my roots.

There's so many people I know, you know,
some celebrities, some people who just

live in Bradford, who, when they get
asked, where are you from, they say

You know, and I just think it's... You
know, if you can't be proud of where

you're from, then there's definitely
something wrong, do you know what I

If I didn't put Bradford in there, I
would be doing...

You know, a disservice to all the people
in Bradford who kind of supported me

along the way before I managed to come
to London, before I got to any of these

parties, you know, before I got out of
the estate, because without them I

wouldn't be who I am today.

He used to go for different things. They
were judo and all this sort of thing,

but magic, he stuck to magic.

Played piano, we spent pounds and pounds
for lessons for him.

And then he said he wanted to go on
organ, so that...

And then we said, look, make your mind
up, what do you want to do? So he said,

want to go into magic.

So I said, well... I said, right, magic.

And I'll take you tomorrow.

You could have told us before we spent
all that money.

I kind of forget that he's famous,
really. You know, people say, oh, I bet

you're right proud of him, aren't you?
And I'm like, I am proud of him, but

still my little kid, even though he's,
you know, 29 years old nearly.

He's still my little kid.

That's just how I see him, really. My
name's Johnny Farley.

I'm a good friend of Magic Steve's, or
Stephen, Magic Steve.

Now, let me start again. I don't know
what to call him.

I remember one time, the first time we
went to London, we went to Chili Wipes,

and we got to London on £70 with us
both, and we had to get a hotel room for

night, and I remember we was in there.
We got in there for free because we had

the gig in there, and we had, like, £5
between us and we were proper skin.

And we were just sat there, no one was
coming over, no one was paying any

attention. And Dynamo just said, can you
just look after my bag, look after my

stuff, I'll be back in half an hour.

He went off, I was waiting there for an
hour, and he came back with about £400

in a pint glass.

It was amazing.

So that's the sort of stuff he does.

He hadn't changed him at all, not
really.

He wears nice clothes, he's got a nice
walk, he's got fancy care.

Yeah, he brushes his teeth, Mark, has
he?

The response I get, you know, when I go
back to Bradford now is amazing. In

fact, for years, before the show came
out, you know, Bradford's always on my

back, but now, you know, I feel like
I've got the whole city looking after

And, you know, all I can say is there's
no place like home.

I wanted to take my magic all over the
world, which, fortunately, I get to do

that anyway because I get booked, you
know, to go out to Abu Dhabi and

you know.

performance parties in London, you know,
performance events in the States.

I really wanted to kind of show that
images are impossible.

In episode two, we got invited on a road
trip to Austria, which sounded like a

really good idea at the time.

Okay, friends, get in your car, drivers.

Start your engines.

Let's get this show on the road.

The whole thing about snowboarding is
you take a big road trip from London to

Austria. There's 120 cards, you know,
the likes of Professor Green, Example,

IQ, Mr.

Motivator. How you doing, man? I'm
pretty good, guys. I'm a big fan.

You've got good taste, guys. There's a
legend right here, yeah? Mr. Motivator

used to wake me up in the morning not
like that.

I wear like eight stones, yeah?

It's not a lot.

This ceiling's quite low, but it's
taking the top off and everything.

Okay, guy, I'm ready for you.

Just give me your hand, and I just want
you to just lift me up. I don't weigh

that much, so just lift me up. What's
the move for?

You can lift me, right? Do it again so
we can see the feet off the ground.

All right.

Now look at me.

Just lift me again.

Ah, good trick.

Very good.

Let me try something.

Money. Money, yeah. Money.

Money.

Money.

So, choose one, five or ten.

I'm going to go for the five. All right,
take it.

Fold it in half.

Yeah, just like that.

And then again.

And fold like this.

So we've got the five and the ten.

Yeah?

Hold out this hand.

And just hold your hand over them, yeah?

Turn your hand over.

I'm going to reach in and pull one out.
So loosen your grip a little bit.

I'll just reach in here.

So if I take... It's pretty tight. So
I'll take the five, yeah?

I've got the five, you've got the ten.
Hold it tight, yeah?

Watch. One, two, three.

Now I've got the ten.

Take a look.

Very good.

Can you make it until fifth?

I let my friend Jalera drive for a
little bit because, you know, it's like,

you're talking like, you know, it's a
good 24 -hour drive.

And then I woke up, sirens flashing
around the car. I slept with my hood

face and I looked up and I'm like, wow,
we're literally surrounded by cops.

I'm like, what's going on here?

The front of the car is on the floor, on
the road.

I wasn't sure if I was dreaming or a
nightmare because I got a call saying,

well, we don't know what we're going to
do, we might have to go back home

because we've just blown the budget for
the first part of the show.

But as they say in entourage, we worked
it out.

When I first got to Mayhofen in Austria,
it wasn't what I expected at all.

Literally, the streets were filled with
people in costumes, people with

foghorns. It was stupidly loud.

The thing I love about travelling and
performing...

in new places is that there's always new
things in the places to potentially do

magic with up on the austrian mountains
you know i got the chance to work with

snow when i made the guys ring disappear
and appear in a snowball it you know it

was just it just came to me and and it
worked oh

my god that's impressive the problem is
when you start building getting

people to build snowball

It's only going to lead to one thing.

Crazy snowball fights.

And there was a point where we had to
literally, we couldn't film anymore

because we were getting pelted by
snowballs.

I think, like, one of the actual sound
box that the sound guy had on his

shoulder got hit by a snowball and it
just obliterated.

So when we were deciding which places to
go and film, I had to say Miami.

There's a beat.

There's beautiful women in bikinis.

It seems like the perfect place to make
magic.

Can I say that?

When you've also got, you know, the kind
of, the smaller side areas

like Little Haiti and Little Havana, you
know, but kind of really show a

different culture out there, you know,
and...

With that, you know, you get so many
different types of people. So it's

literally, you know, every bit of Miami
is different.

It doesn't matter if I'm performing on a
campus day in Bradford or I'm

performing on the streets of Miami.

The way it brings people together, it
kind of shows you that it's totally

universal. It's the one art form.

that really can bring people together.

So, what up? It's Dynamo, and we're on
top of the Beacon Hotel here in

Miami. I've been joined by the man,
Reggie.

What up?

You brought your peoples down as well,
right? Yeah, you know, I got some

sexiness with me. You know, we wanted to
just see if it was really real. We

wanted to see what everybody was talking
about. Everybody keeps talking about

Dynamo. Everybody keeps talking about
the magic. Everybody keeps saying, oh,

shit, it's just out of control.

So we want to witness it live in person.

We're going to do it right now, you know
what I mean?

whether you're famous, whether you're
just a kid in the street, whether, you

know, you're watching it on TV or up
close and personal, everyone

tends to have the same reaction.

Whoa!

Shit!

Ah!

First hand and a fist.

From here.

Watch.

Open your hand.

Turn your hand over.

Turn your hand over.

Look underneath your watch.

There are so many parties and

good places to go and film.

You know, the beach is always full of
people.

Like, it's kind of a women's situation
when you're out there.

Let me try this.

These cards are all different, right?

Yeah?

Happy with that?

Two of clubs?

Hold your hand out, please.

I'll take the two of clubs, I'll place
it there, just put your hand on top so

doesn't blow away.

Yeah? Put your hand on top as well.

Put your hand on the bottom.

There's no way I can get back to the
clubs now, is there?

I'll take the next card, the three of
diamonds.

So three of diamonds, two of clubs.

Everybody see that?

Yeah?

On three, watch. One, two, three.

Now I've got the two of clubs.

Take a look.

Me!

Usually, you know, I'll be on the street
and I'll borrow someone's watch or

their phone, you know, or I'll try to
use magic, you know, using something

they've got on them.

Wow!

But on the beach, if they're just
wearing a bikini, they don't really have

purse, so there's no money.

They don't really have their phone
because they don't want it to get wet or

covered in sand.

Like, I think one of my favourite things
was, you know, I noticed a girl, she

had a tan line from where her watch had
been, and it just seemed like the

perfect... Thing to use, you know, I've
moved the ghost to line up her ass.

Take the hat.

What is he doing? I don't have one head
on her.

Hollywood. I mean, what can I say?

It's the place where the stars are born.

We had to go and go there.

I think being out there, you really do
get a sense of the Hollywood lifestyle.

If you think of a celebrity, if you
think of a

superstar... You instantly think of
Hollywood.

It's a very crazy place.

You know, there's so many eccentric
buildings, like we were in Chateau

with Natalie and Julia.

How are you?

I'm very well.

It's been a while. It has, yeah.

The room we were actually filmed in is
covered in fake butterflies, all over

walls, all over the ceilings.

Do you think they'd notice if I took one
of these?

You want to take a butterfly?

Yeah.

I don't know.

Natalie's written a song called
Butterflies, so I knew that she kind of

them.

So I thought it'd be cool, you know, to
take one of the butterflies from the

wall and bring it to life.

Hello!

Hello!

Oh, my God!

Thankfully, you know, she thought it was
the most beautiful piece of magic she's

ever seen.

That was beautiful. That was amazing.

I've always been a big fan of boxing as
a sport. It's the one sport that I think

I do go out of my way to make sure I get
to watch the fight.

I met David Hay in a club a few years
ago and we just got on and we had a

you know.

Disgusting. From when, you know, David
used to invite me down to fight,

tickets, you know, which was very nice
of him, and it was pretty awesome

to see him going after his dreams.

He's, like, one of the strongest people
I've ever met.

And I had a few ideas, you know, kind of
strength -related magic that I wanted

to try out on him.

Just lift me again.

Quite right, so I should be able to toss
him over a wall.

I like that.

Strange.

I met Ian Brown at Adida in the
headquarters about a good five years ago

Over the years, Ian's kind of almost
become an uncle to me.

You know, whenever he'd give me advice,
you know, he could tell that he's lived

through a lot of these things and he
doesn't take no shit.

When we got invited down to his studio
to film for the show, I kind of had to

use what was around me, and, you know,
he had, obviously, his junket in there,

you know, his guitars.

He's got so many fans all across the
world, you know, who would love to

you know, ten minutes with him.

So I wanted to do something that the
fans would actually get to sneak peek

the mind of the man, the myth, the
legend, that is Ian Brown.

Just because I'm in love with the people

doesn't make me a fool.

Are you doing that?

So when we was making Magician
Impossible, we filmed with so many

people. And personally, I wanted to put
all of it into the show.

But we had to save some of it for the
DVD.

So here's some unseen footage of what
happened when I met Alexis Jordan and

sister.

I'm here with the lovely Alexis Jordan
and her sister Taylor.

Two amazing singers right now.

There's a lot of talent in the room.

Wow, yeah.

I heard that you have more talent.

Like you have crazy, weird, awesome
talent.

I suppose I've got to try and live up to
my name. Yeah. Okay, let's see it.

You want to see it straight away?

Yeah, I want to see.

Two of diamonds, yeah? Okay.

Just write your name on there. My name?
Yeah.

Any way I want to? Any way you want to,
yeah.

Okay.

All right, there you go. Cool.

Do you want to write yours as well?

Okay. Okay.

Perfect. See that?

Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

Alexis and Taylor Jordan on one card.

Yeah.

Hold your hand out.

Put your hand on top.

Put it right in the middle.

There's no way I can get to that card
now, is there? No.

I'm going to take the next card.

Yeah, Jack of spades.

Alright, dynamo on this one.

Okay.

It's got dynamo.

Watch.

I just spin it.

Boom. Did you feel anything?

No.

Oh, my God.

Turn that over.

Oh, my God.

How did you do that?

Oh, my God, I'm freaking out.

I can't even tell Mom.

I don't know how you do it. I don't know
how you do it either.

Place it with your mind.

You two are sisters, right? Yes.

Who's the oldest?

I'm the oldest.

You're 17 and you're 19, yeah?

So you've kind of done a lot of things
together, yeah? Yeah, almost everything.

Did you go to the same school?

Well, not that much, yeah.

Yeah, we did.

So, you know, being sisters, you've
probably got a really good connection,

right?

I want to just put that to the test.

Okay. Yeah?

Okay. Just stand up.

Okay.

All right.

I'm going to stand in between you. If
you stand here, you stand right here.

Yeah?

What I'm going to do, I'm going to close
my hands, yeah? Okay. I want you to

look at my hand, yeah?

When I close it into a fist, I want you
to close your eyes, but I want you to be

aware of, you know, any sensations
around you, so if you get any taps or

touches, yeah?

Okay. Cool. But don't say anything or
don't open your eyes until I ask you. Mm

-hmm. Right?

If you

felt me tap you, just nod your head.

Oh, my God! Am I holding my eyes up?

That's right. How many times did you
feel it?

Um, maybe like twice.

And whereabouts?

Right here.

Can you tell her what happened? You just
poked me.

Like twice.

I'm about to cry.

It's weird.

I never actually touched you.

What? He never touched you. He touched
me.

I'm scared.

That was awesome.

Look, he brought tears to my eyes. Look
at this.

That was so crazy.

He didn't even touch her.

He didn't even touch her. He touched me.

He was nowhere near her. He was, like,
near me.

Oh, my gosh.

That freaks me out. Something touched
me.

Something touched me.

I'm scared.

It was nice meeting you. It was so cool.

Next time you're in England, we'll hang
out and see more magic.

Bye, guys.

Bye. Just do me a favor.

Name a card.

Name a card, really quick.

Name a card?

Yeah. Not the three clubs you had that
before. Okay, name a card.

Ace of spades.

Are you sure? Yeah. Yeah?

Do you want to change your mind? No, I'm
good.

You can if you want to. No, eight of
threes.

Yeah? Yeah.

You could have named any card. Yeah.

One card upside down. Oh, my gosh. Turn
that over.

No.

Making Magician Impossible, you know, I
kind of looked at, you know, people like

David Copperfield, you know, David
Blaine, you know, some of the greats of

magic, you know, and looked at things
that they remembered for.

Me and my friends always used to have
problems getting into places.

You know, I look young for a start, and
we were formed out of an estate which

had a bit of a bad reputation.

You know, we'd never get in at the
parties, you know.

One of the good things about magic, it
actually opened up a lot of doors for

Now when I go to places, the hardest
part isn't getting in, it's actually

getting out, it's actually leaving,
because once I start performing, people

never want me to leave.

And when we were performing down at
Rio's party, it actually became a

So I figured the only way I'm going to
get out of here is if I somehow

incorporate it into my performance.

You guys can see me, right?

Yeah?

You can all see me, yeah?

Right, what's this?

For me, the best part about magic is
yelling the surprise.

When I was in Miami, we were at the roof
party.

I met these two guys and a few girls,
you know, they were the life of the

and they were awesome.

And I was just throwing some cool stuff
to them.

And, you know, after a while they
started to like, you know, they were

it, but they were kind of, you know, you
could tell that they weren't a surprise

anymore.

I wanted to hit them with one last
thing.

So we had this foghorn because it was
the night of one of the basketball

matches.

And I decided to try and do something a
little bit different, you know, and use

something using sound.

I got invited on Scott Miller's radio
show, and I've been invited on quite a

radio shows, you know, over the last few
years.

And it's always quite difficult because,
you know, how do you do magic on the

radio? I'm not really a mind reader,
but, you know, I do use certain

Would you agree that it would be
impossible for somebody to know before

But you would read that story out on
air.

I have been quite good over the years of
making predictions.

I can often tell what card someone's
going to choose before they even choose

And I can tell what change people have
in their pockets just by them jingling

it. I decided to try something with
Scott, which, you know, it was quite

but I think it's one of the coolest
predictions I've ever made. How did

that happen?

How did that happen?

Oh my God, he's drawn the man and
everything. He's actually drawn the man.

He's got a red top and a picture and
he's drawn it in a red... Yeah.

Walking on water has been a myth,
something that people talked about in

for years.

I need to do something to leave my
legacy, you know, to put my stamp on the

and on the world of magic.

I wanted to walk on water, but there's
only one place, but was really going to

put me on the map.

And it had to be the River Thames.

You know, it's one of the most famous
rivers in the world.

It's also one of the most dangerous.

You know, if you get taken under the
water by the current, it can kill you.

The man walking on water.

I never really thought I'd be able to
achieve it.

But in 2011, whilst running for Magician
Impossible, I managed to achieve

possibly the most amazing thing I've
ever done in my life.

So we've come to the end of the DVD
Extra.

I want to say a big thank you for
everyone who's got the DVD, everyone who

watched the show when it was on TV, all
of the Facebook fans and the Twitter

followers and YouTube people who watch
all the videos, subscribers, and

literally anybody else who has supported
me along the way.

I couldn't be where I am without your
help. And to be honest, without you, the

viewer, the spectator, the people I meet
in the street, without you guys, there

really is no magic.
