First broadcast: on BBC Two ScotlandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two England

There's no let up at magic school as the remaining ten Sorcerees are thrown head first into their next magical discipline, mind magic.

Mr Knight shows the girls how to perform a mind-bending prediction trick, while Miss Evans teaches the boys how to mind-read. The novice magicians have just two days to master their tricks before the Sorcerer cuts short the magical aspirations of another two Sorcerees.

But there's a safety net, a magic ticket offering protection to one Sorceree from the elimination. To win, the Sorcerees must excel at a performance challenge designed specifically to improve their memory, an essential skill for mind magic.

One profession that relies on the ability to memorise lots of information is weather presenting. The Sorcerer has had the theatre transformed into a professional broadcast weather studio and invited weather presenter Sian Lloyd to take the Sorcerees through their paces.

In two hours, they must memorise and present a complex 60-second bulletin. With the storm clouds closing in, who will shine on stage? Show less
