Sorcerer's Apprentice

Series 3

Episode 7

Duration: 58 minutes

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

With the semi-finals in sight, all the eight remaining Sorcerees dream of victory, but to even get close, they must master another magical subject: Comedy Magic. The Sorcerer kicks off the laughs with a rib-tickling comedy trick and then it's straight to the classroom for the Sorcerees to start loosening up their own funny bones. The boys must learn how to magically deduce a card randomly selected by an audience member, cracking gags along the way of course. But just getting the predictions right is tough going for Elliot and Oliver. Over in the girls' class, Emma's over-ambitious routine is giving Mr Knight cause for concern. If the Sorcerees want to pull off a side-splitting comedy routine, they need to perfect their timing. Today's performance challenge is designed to do just that.

In pairs, the trainees are break-dancing and beat-boxing. Special guest stars Killa Kella and Funkstylerz show them how it should be done and the trainees have just two hours to find their own groove. But it looks like Becky and Elliot are going to need a lot longer than that. Roving magician David Penn travels the country wowing the masses with his comedy trickery and teachers Mr Knight and Miss Evans are a barrel of laughs in Teacher Challenge. Show less
