The second episode of BBC One’s The Magicians aired on Saturday, 14th January, with another fantastic and dazzling show.

Presented by Darren McMullen, the second of six episodes saw magical duo Barry and Stuart paired with Strictly Come Dancing judge, Craig Revel-Horwood. Their live trick included Craig having his head chopped off in a guillotine – certainly not a trick to try at home.

Craig also performed a pirate dance which involved him dancing, dressed as a pirate, with Barry and Stuart.

For their location grand illusion it was an all action escapology trick as Craig was handcuffed and locked in the boot of a moving car packed full of explosives. The car burst into a fireball as it careered over the side of a quarry before Craig spectacularly and miraculously appeared in a helicopter which rose above the flames.
