The Magicians returns with more mind-bending magic. Twisted tricksters Barry and Stuart are joined by comedian Ed Byrne; comedy magician Pete Firman is paired with actor and presenter Joe Swash; and world champion of magic, Latimer, is with street dancer, Britain's Got Talent winner and Waterloo Road actor, George Sampson. Each celebrity and their magical mentor perform four spectacular illusions, two of which are live. With the viewers at home voting for their favorite act, the teams must do all they can to impress; the act with the fewest votes faces a death-defying live forfeit. Plus, Dutch illusionist Hans Klok attempts to perform a record-breaking number of tricks in just five minutes.
