Synopsis
In what the BBC claims is "the first magic-based competition on UK screens" (Ahem!), each week three celebrities are paired up with professional illusionists, learn and perform a trick, and are judged by the studio audience. The winners are declared the winners, the losers are roped (quite possibly literally) into a final stunt.
