It’s a worldwide win, just in time for April Fool’s Day the BBC has broken down the wall restricting access to their new viral video magic tricks. The effect embedded above is designed to work without any outside influence. Another which we’ve paster AFTER THE JUMP is more in the same vein as their ESP test from last year where you hoax a friend.
Head to BBC.com/BarryandStuart for the clips they have up now and bookmark it as they have a few that are yet to be released including one we were told about yesterday after our interview that sounds pretty sweet.
Click AFTER THE JUMP to learn the secret behind another one that you fool your friends with just in time for April 1st!
The Guests:

We’ve been in contact with Luis de Matos and Marco Tempest about this conference for a couple weeks now, so we are excited to see this teaser trailer finally hit.

See the whole shebang at Essential Magic Conference.com. You have to figure that between the success of the Magic-Con lecture downloads and this project, we could be at a sea change for magic conventions.
Remember the creepy ESP test that Barry and Stuart released last year? Well there is more where that came from and hopefully yet more on the horizon. The Demonic Duo debuted a new site in conjunction with the BBC which will hopefully continue to provide us web-specific tricks to play on your friends from the frayed, damaged minds of Barry & Stuart.
One drawback, it seems to be region specific, so non-UK readers might be boned on this one for the time being. We’re considering it payback for the Revolutionary War. Now we’re Even Stevens, Union Jack? Okay?
The Internet is better for it. Your friends? That remains to be seen.
