Underground Scottish magicians Barry Jones and Stuart MacLeod unleash their alternative brand of dark, comedy magic featuring surreal characters in bizarre and uncomfortable situations. In three parts, disused sewage works, abandoned asylums and seedy public toilets are just some of the eclectic backdrops used for their twisted trickery.

In the first episode, a high street fundraiser waylays shoppers on behalf of the 'One World Charity' and unveils a small African child out of thin air. A violinist in a tuxedo mounts a bandstand in a park, rolls up his sleeve and plays a carving knife like a virtuoso across his bare arm, slicing through his flesh yet remaining entirely impassive...while secret filming in a supermarket captures Stuart and Barry magically sabotaging the products.
