Mind the gap, please.

Ladies and gentlemen, eastbound customer information. The next eastbound train

has just departed Latimer Road.

This train is due at Baglet Grove in one minute and Westbourne Park in three

minutes.

Mind the gap, please.

Mind the gap.

I put a spell on you. Quite remarkable.

Because you're mine.

It's really insane.

I still have no idea how he did that.

Oh, my God.

I'm just shocked.

How are you, man? Good to see you. How are you? We're not ready for you.

Oh, no.

Dynamo.

Yes, Dynamo's turned up. What are you doing here? It's a day early, Dynamo.

Hello. I know, guys.

It's lovely to see you, by the way, but we are a little bit freaked out. It's

not lovely to see him at all.

Why are you here now? And I'm kind of interrupting the show today.

Yeah. I'm sorry about that. But we don't mind.

No. Not at all, man. Not at all. Why?

What are you preparing us for tomorrow?

I need you to do something really important for me.

Okay, mate. Go on.

Oh, no. I don't like this. Here.

What is it?

I've got a sovereign. It was my grandpa's who got me into magic. And

important to me. I'm going to give it to you, Dave.

Okay, cool. I want you to keep it safe.

Yeah. And then after the show today, I want you to go and hide it anywhere in

the city of London.

Make sure nobody else sees you hide it, bro. Do you understand?

I don't. Yes, I do. Sorry, I know I look a bit bewildered. I totally understand.

Okay, so then what do I have to do?

All will be revealed tomorrow.

No, you can't do that!

Don't just get up and walk out!

Seriously.

No!

I know, it's a little more clipped. It's all clean.

So how did he even get in without a pass?

I had landed back in the UK, and boy did I hit the ground running.

The days passed by at lightning speed, a blur of camera flashes and amazed

faces.

To be honest, I never expected things to turn out this way, but now I'm here, I

wouldn't change it for the world.

Bye. Bye. Bye.

How did you do that?

I had headed over to East London to the South Place Hotel for a game of pool

with a friend who was staying there.

The hotel is decked out like an art gallery with sculptures across its walls

whilst I waited for my friend to turn up, I decided to try something with one

the hotel guests.

What's your name? Melanie.

I'm Dynamo. Hi.

So Melanie, we've got all these shoes in these cabinets.

Yes. I want to try something with one of the cabinets.

Okay. So would you just have a look around and just choose one of the

for me, just point to it.

Okay.

This one right here, yeah? Yes.

Okay. Yeah, I'm going to try something with that. If you want to stand right

here. Okay. That'd be great. Let's see.

Yeah, we'll do this cabinet and I'm going to use some cards. Actually, just

card. Okay. It doesn't really matter which it is. We'll use the top one, the

nine of diamonds.

So the nine of diamonds, I'm going to give part of this card to you.

So I've got the corner. If you keep hold of that, keep that safe.

Okay. And this cabinet, yeah? Yes.

Okay.

Watch the car.

And just rub over it.

Oh, my goodness!

And you've got the corner, right?

Yeah.

Because that's your car. I mean, if we could get in here, we could actually

match the corner up so you could see. Oh, my goodness, yeah.

Actually, you know what?

What's the corner?

What?

The corner's gone from there.

Look.

I'm shaking.

Oh, my goodness.

It disappeared in his hands and went into there. I didn't close my eyes. I

didn't look away. I was looking and it disappeared there.

Oh, my goodness.

I'm shaking. I'm actually shaking.

Oh, my God.

He's amazing.

It was time to meet my friend, 1993 businessman of the year and professional

Richard Branson lookalike.

Mr. Keith Lemon.

These are not the kind of balls I'm used to playing with.

That looks painful.

Booyah! Give these cards a shuffle. Okay.

Just a normal triple. I'm not very good at cabs. Right, that's a good triple

right there.

Yeah.

Are you finished? You happy with that?

Yeah, just pop it in the middle, yeah?

Yeah.

Perfect.

I just want you to clear your mind. Yeah. Quick.

Oh, things keep popping in there.

Just think of any playing card.

Yeah.

You got one locked in your mind? Yeah.

Oh!

Oh, you bastard!

Sorry.

So what do you do now? Are you just going to walk away?

And leave me bamboozled and go, how did he do that?

Or will you stay in here?

I've a same program.

Look there, he's going to go now.

He's going to hide behind a curtain and go. And when I go behind a curtain, I'm

going to look to see if he's there and he's not going to be there.

Let's see what happens.

He's gone.

Put some cards on a pool table.

It's a very plush one. It's grey. I've never seen grey before.

And they just miraculously opened like it was some evil wizard.

They just sprung open like that.

And then my card flipped out.

There it is.

Five of those.

Oh shit.

If he can do stuff like that, it's not right, is it? Eh?

It's not right, that.

Okay,

guys, time is running out.

Unbelievable.

London is home to people from all over the world, and I've headed down to West

London's famous Portobello Road Market, which pulls in hundreds of visitors from

across the globe.

Your name is? Maya. Maya, and? Ali. Nice to meet you. Where are you guys from?

Malaysia. Malaysia? Are you on holiday in England, or do you live here?

No, I just did an exchange job. Oh, okay.

I want to show you something.

Alright. I need both of you to sign the back of a card.

Yeah? So if you sign first, you just write your name there.

And if you sign on the bottom of it.

That's great.

See that?

So you sign the four of hearts.

Yeah? What's closer? I'm going to try something with your car.

What's closer? Hold this corner.

And you hold this side.

That's not real.

I love

surprising

fans when they least expect it, so I headed to a pub near Westbourne Park to

just that.

Oh my god.

I like your scarf.

Thank you. Can I take a look at it?

Yeah.

Yeah, I want to try something with this.

And also, do you have a mobile phone?

Yeah, do you have one?

I see one.

It's mine.

Alright.

Okay, there we are. I'm just going to stand back here so you can see this.

So you can see the phone behind the scarf, right?

What?

Thank you

No, he's hard.

He's foolish. I love him. I love him.

He dug me out the scarf and he just came through the phone.

And he was pulling it through the phone, literally.

Literally through the phone, the middle bit of the phone. It came out.

This simply can be a pretty bleak play.

But it always amazes me how the smallest acts of kindness can make a huge

difference and can sometimes stay with someone for a lifetime.

Do you have travel cards or oyster cards?

Have you got it on you? Can I have a look?

How much is on there?

Roughly.

Can you just touch it on the machine so you can see?

Can you see that?

£1 .90.

Alright. I've got a little bit of money here. I've got, yeah.

I've got 20.

Can I take your oyster?

What?

Whoa.

Check how much is on there now.

No way. No way.

How did you do that?

Where's it gone?

It's red.

That's bad.

That's crazy.

I'm slightly shaking.

That's weird. I didn't think this was real, but it is actually real. It's in

face. He did it in front of me.

I can't believe it.

I'm Dynamo. What's your name? I'm Lindsay.

Hello, Lindsay.

Hello. Lindsay, I want to try something, yeah? Okay. I just want you to take

your time and just choose one of the posters on the stand.

Okay.

Have you got one? Yeah.

Just point to it.

That one there.

This one right here? Mm -hmm. Do you want to walk in and have a look?

This one, yeah? Yeah.

What's on here?

We've got a fork.

Okay out of the fork knife and spoon just choose one object

Let

me try this

He just spent the fort.

Like, look at me.

Oh.

Disgusting.

How is that possible?

It's crazy.

I can't stop looking at this.

Wow.

I had driven 70 miles outside of London to a makeshift racetrack on an abandoned

airfield to meet with legendary Formula One driver, David Cotard.

How are you doing, sir?

Pleasure to meet you. Nice to meet you too.

So as you can see, David, we've got a nice car and we've got a bit of a track

going on over here.

So I'm going to get you to take me on a lap. I want you to give me your best lap

time possible.

Then after your lap, I'm going to take a lap, but a little differently.

Are you ready?

Yeah, absolutely.

Pop in.

I'm still not entirely sure what's going to be different about you.

38 .57 seconds.

That was pretty damn quick.

I didn't seem too bad, actually.

I feel like I want to go.

If you want to take us round to the beginning of the track, then I'm going

jump in my driver's seat.

Traffic.

Whilst we were travelling round, I was gripping on for dear life, but I was

taking note of every corner that you took and trying to memorise the track,

because now I want to do a lap.

But I'm going to do a lap a little bit differently, because I'm going to

actually...

Wear this when I do my lap.

So, wear a blindfold.

I want you to think of a possible lap time for me. Don't say it out loud, but

just get a time in your head.

Have you got one?

Yeah. And in fact, just to prove how difficult this is, I want you to have a

first.

Okay, I'd rather not go move anywhere in case I run someone down.

Can I take this off?

If you don't feel comfortable. Yeah, but I know it's straight for about 25

metres. But then, you know, I can't remember the radius of the corner

I'm reacting.

So I'm not, I don't, no, I'm not comfortable.

I'm not comfortable to do that.

Sorry to let you down, but I'll only do the stuff with my eyes open. Okay.

But that's a proper blindfold.

All right, do you want to put it on me, on my head?

How's that?

Is that tight enough?

Yeah, you might need to help me get into the driver's seat.

Give me your hand.

I don't want your head butting the top of the car.

Am I in it, yeah?

I'm going to put the seatbelt on you.

Let me shut my door and I'll let you get on with it. You need to get in as well.

Do I really have to?

I need a co -pilot.

Have you got your seatbelt on?

Absolutely. I would have your seatbelt on as well if I could.

Are you ready?

Not really, but do I have a choice?

Let's add a little bit of fire.

I don't think we need fire to make this more dangerous than it actually is.

Look, we've got fire.

Let's do it.

All right.

Good luck.

Big quants to it for a bit.

How am I doing, David?

Exceptionally well.

More fire.

More fire.

I don't think I've ever been so nervous going so relatively slowly.

What here?

All right, you can stop any time now.

We're out of the course. We're out of it. We did it. You did it. That's very

impressive, mate.

Very impressive.

You was actually thinking of a time.

Was I close?

Yeah, you were close.

Did I beat it?

No, you were a little bit over.

And I didn't realize there was fire.

Otherwise, I would have added a little bit. Yeah, it kind of was the fire that

threw me off.

Keep your time in mind, yeah?

Oh!

That's a lot of fire.

You were thinking of a lap time for me.

Yeah. I didn't beat you all that time, but if you take a look at the fire that

was covering the track, you'll see something quite interesting.

Yeah, I can see.

Actually, I know the time that I... I know the time.

One, two, five.

Now, you can't just walk away. You have to explain that to me.

Given that you're wearing a blindfold, I was a little bit uncomfortable, it has

to be said.

I was very uncomfortable with the flames, actually, because I've got very

flammable hair.

And what little hair I have, I want to keep a hold of.

You think, OK, it must be, you can see through somewhere, but you can't.

And then the time thing.

Unbelievable.

I've headed up to the Dunbarley Training Ground in Sheffield.

to meet the iconic athlete and Olympic gold medallist, Jessica Ennis -Hill.

Have you got colour in your cheek?

Do you ever get that feel that you can't shift the tide?

So this way you...

This is my home, yeah, this is where I train and this is where I started doing

athletics.

I want a gold medal.

Do you take it everywhere now?

Well, I do every now and again, but then I'm always worried that I'm going to

leave it somewhere or I'll lose it, so I keep it in my bedroom, by the side of

my bed, close to me.

Are you just going to keep it in a box or are you going to get to see it? Do

want to see it?

Yeah. Oh, you can trust me, I'm from Bradford.

Can you take it out?

Yeah.

Is it heavy? It is

heavy, yeah.

Go and feel like a winner first.

You must wake up every morning and just do it.

I have a sneaker that I like.

I used to watch the Olympics when I was a kid.

And I'd be like, yeah, I want to win one of those. But being a kid, I'd just

play with a big chocolate coin.

I just kind of imagine that you just kind of... No,

but anyway, you better... Obviously,

it's solid, it's heavy, there's no

chocolate in it.

Yeah, he just made half of it into chocolate and now it's back to normal.

It's mad.

You've been putting the javelins all there.

Can I take a look at one of them? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah,

I need you to help me with this.

Just take your...

Take this one a bit tight there, and this one in the middle. Yeah.

Make sure it's nice and firm.

Yeah, that's right. Okay. You are strong, so I don't want it to move.

Don't take your eyes off mine.

Okay.

That is mad.

Thank you.

I don't even know what to say.

That's just mad.

I'm just dying of a little javelin.

I've seen some near accidents and competitions with javelins but nothing

that. He kind of put the point on his stomach and he was just kind of pushing

through the javelin and then the point was out the other side and then he stood

there and pulled it out. I watched him pull it out through his stomach.

Yeah, brilliant.

I was back in London and dropped in for lunch at the famous Sketch restaurant on

Conduit Street.

While I was there, I decided to do a little waiter service.

I really like all the decor.

I don't even notice that literally in here, everything is different.

Like, every table is different, every chair, every piece of cutlery, the

glasses, the plates.

Even the candle holder is a bit random. I mean, it looks a little bit like a

wine glass.

Yeah.

Think of a drink.

Okay. You got one in mind? Yeah.

Just name it out loud.

Orange juice.

Orange juice.

Okay.

Let's try this.

Is this your bill here?

Yeah.

I'm not trying this.

Oh

my

god.

Oh, shit.

Well,

I was just trying to look at it. Me too.

I was looking at his eyes, I was looking at his wrists.

Yeah, his wrists rolled up, but it wasn't coming through.

That's mental.

It sounds mental because that is what happened.

One of the best things about my job is performing at some amazing events, so it

was an incredible honour to be invited down to a charity fundraiser by one of

Hollywood's most notable actors, Mr Samuel L. Jackson.

After dinner, I met Samuel at his hotel to see if I could break through his cool

exterior. How are you doing, sir? Great, how are you doing?

Just grab one out Look at it, don't let me see it. There's lots of mirrors

around so don't flash it in any mirrors or anything.

Alright. Remember it. Yeah. Yeah?

Now I'm going to turn back around. I want you to just hold it close to your

chest, yeah?

Like so that I can't see it and no one else can see it.

Okay. Done that?

Uh -huh.

Alright.

Are y 'all ready?

Just step back a little bit.

Just get my hand.

Alright, let me take a bunch of cards.

Would you card the five of hearts?

Show it to me.

I chose a card.

I showed it.

I actually did not show it to anyone. I didn't show it to the cameras. I held

it. I saw it. I held it close to my heart. He started throwing cards at the

mirror, and the mirror bloomed.

And as I looked at it, I realized the shape that he had created in the mirror

was the number and denomination of my card.

Generally, I'm not up close and personal to it, so I'm sitting at home watching

it, so I always figure, well, you know.

I mean, I work in the movies, special effects and special effects.

But here I am, I'm standing here, so, you know, I'm more than impressed with

what happened.

Sixty years ago, one of Britain's greatest magicians, David Bergla,

one of the most ambitious magic stunts the country had ever seen.

He challenged journalists at the Picture Post magazine to hide an object

somewhere in London and then went on a blindfolded hunt across the city.

which culminated in finding the object, a lady's Chinese slipper, in the middle

of Battersea Park.

The stunt became front page news, and David became a legend in the world of

magic.

I wanted to recreate David's stunt, but with a difference.

Dynamite is here everyone!

You swung by yesterday, a total surprise to Lisa and I and the team, and this is

where we began.

I need you to do something really important for me.

Okay, mate, go on.

Oh, no, I don't like this.

Peter, I've got a sovereign.

It was my grandpa's who got me into magic, and it's very important to me.

going to give it to you, Dave.

Okay, cool. I want you to keep it safe, and then after the show today, I want

you to go and hide it anywhere in the city of London.

What do we do now? Instead of...

Us trying to find it. Yeah. We're going to let the listeners find it. They're

going to give us the directions.

Me and you will be on the road. Dave will be in the studio.

Okay. Taking calls, getting directions. Wherever they say we're going to go,

that's where we're going to go. Don't leave it to the listeners. You'll never

find it. No, no. I have total faith.

I have total faith in London.

Which is the producer? Where's the producer?

The boss man. Hello.

What's your name, sorry? Rich. Hello, Rich.

What I need you to do is think of a number between 1 and 50.

Okay. When we get that number of callers in, the number you're thinking of, then

I want you to shout out, stop. Okay.

I'm hoping, I'm hoping that that's somewhere near the destination that Dave

hid my grandpa's sovereign.

Wow. It's ten past seven. Go, go, go.

Three hundred.

So Dynamo has taken my co -host Lisa Snowden and they are about to embark on

journey around London town to find his beloved grandfather's sovereign which I

hid somewhere in London town yesterday morning after the show and I'm the only

person who knows where it is. So, technology permitting, let's cross live

them shall we? Dynamo, Lisa, can you hear me? We are here, we are standing on

Charing Cross Road. So I think the first question should be, Are we going to

stay on foot or are we going to hop in a cab?

Okay, Jason and Lucian, do they stay on foot? They're currently on Charing Cross

Road. Or do you want them to get in a taxi?

The choice is yours.

Get in a taxi.

Get in a taxi. All right, brilliant. We're going to go find the cab.

Okay, Dynamo Lisa, good luck. Jason and Lucian, thank you very much indeed.

Where are we going?

Looks like a taxi van down there.

Yeah, but his light's not on.

Ah, good luck. Sweet.

We've got to come. I feel like we need to run. I don't know why.

Oh, there's Lisa in the early hours of the morning with a strange man trying to

find a cab.

That's second nature to her.

Let's cross live to the guys right now who I believe are holding a mobile phone

apprentice style.

You're on speakerphone.

We're heading north up Charing Cross Road, but we need the next listener.

to decide whether we're going to go left or right. Have you got a call online?

We have. That person is called Samuel in East Finchley. He's 11 years old.

Hello, Samuel. Welcome to the show.

Hi. Hiya, sweetie. Sorry.

Our future is in your hands. Where are we going?

You're going to go right.

Okay, so Dynamo Lisa, you are turning right in the taxi. We're turning right

we speak. We're just passing the Porcupine pub, Dave. You know that one.

Yeah, I know the pub. Yeah, do London in pubs for me. It's much easier. I just

waved to them for you.

We're approaching a stop sign. We're going to go left or right?

You're going to go right.

Where are you now?

We're on 4G.

Oh, no, I'm so nervous about this. OK, guys, time is running out.

I would like Dynamo and Lisa to go left.

Where are we going?

We're going to take a right, OK?

Hopefully they're getting nearer and nearer to where I hid it, although,

be told, they ain't. Actually, turn right. Oh, no, no, no.

You're getting colder.

Are we getting colder?

The fate of my grandpa's sovereign's in your hands.

Wow. John in Lambeth, welcome to the show.

What's it going to be?

Left. Left.

They're not quite any closer, like, seriously.

They're in embankment now, is that right, guys?

We need to know if we're going to go left or right at these traffic lights.

Let's cut to the chase. They should turn right.

You're getting warmer.

They're getting warmer, everyone.

Are you serious?

I'm deadly serious, Liz. Let's go to line one.

Ali and Jack in Arkley, good morning, guys. Welcome to the show. Left or

Right! Right! Okay, you're both shouting right.

We're turning into Horse Guard Avenue. Okay, let's go to Katie.

It's going to be another right.

It's going to be another right.

We can't do a right, I'm afraid.

What's the next right that you can do, Jim? We can't do any right.

We'll have to get out and go on foot then.

Oh my God, we're leaving the cab now, guys!

Yes, let's cross here.

Okay, cool.

I'd like to go right.

Dynamo and Lisa Snowden have been out on the streets of London town. They've

been going in whichever direction you want them to go in. Guys, are you there?

Can you hear me?

We've arrived at Trafalgar Square.

We've got Sarah Jane. Good morning, Sarah Jane.

This is our 10th caller and that was my lucky number.

Oh, okay.

Dynamo. Yes.

Producer Rich, you asked him to pick a number between 1 and 50. He chose number

10. Sarah Jane was our 10th caller. He's just called it on. What does this mean?

This means we can't take that call.

So, out of directions, we're in Trafalgar Square. Are we any warmer? Are

closer to finding the Sovereign?

I can tell you that you are very close.

Can I ask the producer Rich a question?

We're here in Trafalgar Square.

We've got Nelson's Column. We've got the gallery, the portrait gallery.

We've got the fountains. We've got the lions.

Can you just choose one of those, please?

The portrait gallery. Go for the portrait gallery.

All right, we're going to head towards the portrait gallery.

Let's go, let's go.

For an hour and 47 minutes, Dynamo and Lisa Snowden have been out on the

of London town. They've been going in whichever direction you want them to go

in.

It's not even open yet.

Oh, no.

All right, we'll work it out. OK.

Hello, guys.

Hey, Dave. Hey, Dave. So we're in Trafalgar Square. We're looking at the

National Portrait Gallery right now. The only problem is, Dave, what time did

you hide the sovereign yesterday?

I hid it at about quarter past, 20 past 10, just after the show, like you

instructed, sir.

OK, because that's the problem, because the time now is approaching...

We're approaching 9 o 'clock, right? Yeah. And we're at the gallery. And the

gallery doesn't open until 10. So I need to ask a simple question.

Oh, dang. I wasn't going to make it easy. Did you hide it inside the

Because if you did, then that's a big problem.

I'm pleased to say I didn't. I hid it outside.

Okay, all right. That's enough information. Don't say any more. Okay.

Okay, Lisa, you need to make the final decision.

Okay. So just close your eyes. Okay.

And just hold out your hand in front of your heart. And then I'm going to move

it around like this. I just want you just to say stop.

Just say stop any time.

Stop. Open your eyes. So you're pointing towards those bushes over there in the

grassy area, yeah? Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. All right, we're going to head over

there. So Lisa's now pointing towards the grassy area outside the gallery.

going to head over there now.

Take the headphones off so we can get down on the grass. You've got to do. No

problem.

So, Lisa, right now, Dynamo is ruffling around in the bushes.

I'm rummaging around in the bushes, too.

I don't see it. You wouldn't have just left it in the grass, would you? That's

so irresponsible.

It's his granddad's sovereign, for goodness sake.

You could have put it somewhere safe, at least.

OK, so he's over in the bushes.

Dynamo. How you doing? Any closer to finding it?

It's like a swampy area there. He wouldn't have just stuck it in there.

Um... Oh!

There it is.

It found it!

Lisa's found it! Yes!

In a bush!

Lisa, is it in a bush? Pull it out, let's talk to it.

It found it, I believe!

I'm so relieved I thought someone would have taken it. Oh my God, it was just

like perched. It was just perched underneath a bush.

Do you often hide things in bushes, Dan?

Only myself from time to time, you know that.

Oh!

Let's break it down!

During the past six months, I travelled over 20 ,000 miles from London to New

York, Ibiza to South Africa.

I'd weathered the storm and visited the far -flung corners of the planet.

But if there's one thing I'd learn, it's that magic is all around us, in the

hopes and dreams and smiles and screams of everyday people.

Everybody's phone is ringing from the same number. How does that happen?

Oh!

Oh no!

I mean, I love Dynamo, but he's never coming on the show again.
