Ben Hanlin most tricks in a day with Persil
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%).
Working with Play England, Persil has revealed the top seven fun, engaging and possibly messy activities parents should encourage their children to get stuck into to develop kids’ creative side – one for every day of the week: COOKING STAINS: Learn to cook spaghetti in the kitchen with mum and dad
FRUIT SPLASHES: Pick blackcurrants or make fresh fruit smoothies GRASSY SMUDGES: Play football in the park or roll down hill MUD SPLATTERS: Make a mud pie in the garden and jumping in muddy puddles JAMMY SMEARS: Make a jam sandwich picnic for you and your friends PAINT DROPS: Get creative and paint a picture, make a collage using natural materials and poster paints WATER MARKS: Find some frogspawn in the spring, have water fights with friends in summer or go sledging in winter
For us Mums with a multitude of grassy knee stain school trousers, the chocolate smeared on the white shirt and not forgetting ink stains from all that hard school work. We may not have a magician on hand to perform miracles but Persil Small and Mighty can make stains vanish.
Using a unique blend of messy magical mayhem, watch the children having fun with Ben and embrace dirt #Persilstainmagic
