- Today we are visiting CBC's The National News
and hopefully make some news of our own.
(rock music)
- Hey, there guys, how's it going?
- Hi. - Hey.
- I'm Freddy and I work here as an intern at CBC.
- [Girl With Glasses] Freddy is taking us to meet his boss.
- Hey everybody.
Hi, I'm Steve Benny,
I'm the Senior Director of The National.
I'm gonna take you on a little tour around here, okay?
- This place is massive.
- Steve is taking us to the control room,
he says that's where all the magic happens.
- Come on in, guys, this is our control room.
This is all our cameras that go down to the studio.
Oh, and there's Christine over there.
Hey, Christine. - Hi, who's this?
- It's Steve, I've got some friends here,
they're magicians and maybe they can do some magic with you.
- Maybe do some magic?
We don't do maybe.
I want you just to think of a card.
Don't say it out loud.
- Okay, I got one. - Got it?
Perfect, and write down the name of that card.
- Got it. - Perfect.
Now what I want you to do is take that piece of paper
and put it into your pocket.
Perfect, awesome.
Now just sit tight and we'll get back to you in a minute.
- [Boy In Plaid Shirt] And now, if you would just touch
the back of any card.
All right, this is your card, take it.
Would you sign it please?
But don't show us, don't show us.
- [Steve] All right.
- It's gonna be super cool.
- Take it back, I won't look at it.
It's on the bottom of the deck
now I'll do a little shuffle.
Just to mix everything up a little bit.
- Ooh. - Fancy.
Now your card is on the top of the deck.
- Nope, that's not it.
- Really?
- Oh, um, hold on.
Are you still there? - Yep, still here.
- Great, I want you to name out loud
what the card was that you wrote down.
- The two of clubs.
- Was that your-- - That's my card!
- I want you to reach inside your pocket
and pull out that piece of paper.
- No way.
- Done, two of clubs. - That's insane!
- [Steve] Wow.
How did you get my card?
- I have no idea, magic.
- We had a friend of mine who was all the way in Bora Bora
on the other side of the world.
I picked a card, I signed it,
I gave it back to him and then all the sudden
it shows up in her shirt pocket.
You just blew my mind, I wanna take you guys
down to our studio. - All right.
- Let's do it.
(energetic music)
And here's one of our hosts, Adrienne Arsenault.
- I'm Adrienne Arsenault, one of the hosts of The National.
- So nice to meet you, hi. - It's time to take over.
- In five, four, three, two, one,
action.

and today, the top story.
- [All] Magic.
- So firstly, I would need that newspaper.
- Okay. - Okay, and guys?
- Here you go.
- [Girl With Glasses] Well I want you to watch
as the news gets bigger.
And it gets bigger.
Bigger. (chuckling)
And of course, bigger.
- That's a lot of newspaper.
- Now would any of you be comfortable with,
you know, helping us out?
- No, no, all good. - No thanks.
- Steve and Adrienne seem nervous.
Now there's only one solution.
- Oh, Freddy.
Freddy, hey. - Yeah, of course.
- Freddy!
- I need you to step behind the newspaper.
- Right behind there? - Yes, please.
And now, watch.
You can hear me, right Freddy? - I got it.
- Could you slip your tie through?
- Yep. - Awesome.
Take that.
- [Boy In Checkered Shirt] Definitely Freddy's tie.
- There it is.
You okay there? - Yeah.
- [Girl With Glasses] Awesome.
Three,
two,

Crumple!
- [Steve] How?
(suspenseful music)
- [Girl With Glasses] That doesn't look good, come on guys.
Okay, Adrienne, I need you for this, and you too.
- All right. - Okay.
- Now Adrienne on this side. - Okay.
Got it.

- Is he okay? - I was gonna say.
- Who knows?
Okay, you all good? - All good.

Here we go.
Count down with me, please.

we're waiting for 'em.
