Ben Hanlin who presents Tricked on ITV 2, has sent me a very cool video, from him and Persil Small and Mighty with a personal message to me Given To DistractingOthers!!!! I am a bit excited by this!! He says at the beginning "Nice blog!" I think he will go far!! Hehe!
I also need him here to magic away some of my mess. In the video you can see Ben performing and recording the most live tricks in one day for a slightly different audience, Mr Toms’ Year 4 pupils at Riverbridge Primary School, Staines, who had no idea what Ben had planned. Ben Hanlin said: “Where better to encourage kids to embrace stains, than in Staines! It was great to perform my unique blend of magic on school children. They have so much energy and wonder that they made for a great audience. And of course, they needed no encouragement to get messy! Their mums looked slightly worried when they saw their kids covered in green paint and sticky chocolate but, of course, I cleaned them up in no time, with magic of course…
But as he is far too busy entertaining, I will have to make my own mess magically disappear. When it comes to stains we have used Persil Small and Mighty. Even on a pure white tshirt, throwing lots of common stains on it and then washing normally. The results were brilliant.

Ben and Persil small and mighty created the film in response to findings from Peril’s research that revealed Britain is at risk of raising a generation of sedentary ‘stainophobes’ who don’t like dirt and mess (33%) and who believe looking ‘cool’ is more important than ‘having fun outside’ (46%).
