"ITV2 are hoping that they&amp;#039;ve found a magician to rival Watch&amp;#039;s breakout star Dynamo with their dashing young trickster Ben Hanlin. With a mixture of boyband good looks and incredible sleight of hand, he&amp;#039;s a world away from the days when TV magic consisted solely of rabbits in hats and dull card tricks. Watch a clip of Ben Hanlin&amp;#039;s new show Tricked below:  Hanlin&amp;#039;s new series Tricked will feature him pulling off mind-bending stunts with celebrities and members of the public, leaving jaws on the floor.  Just check out his head-scratching disappearing phone skit with Liberty X star Michelle Heaton above for an example.  In a major stunt in Hanlin&amp;#039;s first show, the magician will team up with Blue star Simon Webbe to play a magical prank on his boyband co-stars. Lee Ryan, Duncan James and Antony Costa are fooled into believing that Webbe has walked into a caravan that topples over a sheer clifftop. Speaking about their shock at the trick stunt, Costa said: &amp;quot;I was just in complete and utter shock and disbelief that within 30 seconds I could be losing not only one of my bandmates but also one of my best friends.&amp;quot;   James commented: &amp;quot;I felt sick to my stomach and I felt helpless. I couldn&amp;#039;t understand why he wasn&amp;#039;t jumping out. That&amp;#039;s what I was shouting to him.&amp;quot; Webbe said: &amp;quot;I felt like a traitor but as it was for TV and in the name of fun, it was a good test to see how much they love me! &amp;quot;Had they all watched the caravan roll off the cliff laughing, I would have been like, &amp;#039;Bastards, talk to the hand!&amp;#039; &amp;quot;Watching their reaction I felt really bad. They were so devastated and to see that was not a nice feeling. I kept thinking, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m sure it made great TV!&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Tricked starts at 9pm on Thursday (October 10) on ITV2. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
