Darren McMullen presents mind-blowing magic from some of the world's top magicians.

Darren McMullen presents mind-blowing magic from some of the world's top magicians, with the public's least favourite act of the night having to perform a terrifying forfeit.

The Magicians returns to BBC One with a show-stopping new live format and viewer vote. Presented by Darren McMullen, the first show of the six sees magicians Barry and Stuart paired with stars of Outnumbered, Tyger Drew-Honey and Daniel Roche; World Champion of Magic, Latimer, with Strictly Come Dancing's Flavia Cacace; and comedy magician Pete Firman will be joined by Coronation Street and Boyzone's Keith Duffy.

With more daring, dangerous and mind-blowing magic than ever before, each act will perform four tricks - and two will be live, so anything could happen. The first show includes a jaw-dropping escape, a spectacular laser routine and an astonishing live stage illusion.

Once all three acts have performed, viewers get to vote for their favourite, with the losing team having to face a terrifying live forfeit. Who will it be?
