much for joining me I'm Richard keep that screwed up out of sight for now because we're going to play a mind game in a minute but I cannot do this illusion alone so I'm going to get some of my friends involved so ladies and gents will you please welcome the fans of the household cavalry [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] now we have with us today 3 March folks these are British Army March books 3 volumes each with 100 different songs in each one you're going to choose on whichever one you choose is the one we use so just grab one on a March book course good so if you could open it up to the contents page for us and I'm just going to hold it up to the camera can see can you just please confirm for us on that every choice is completely different yeah scientific now what I'm going to do is I'm going to look away for just a second no moment when I look away you're going to open up the piece of paper you're going to look at the number that His Royal Highness is written down and remember it's very important you got it the right way around obviously I'm going to turn away now if you can have a look once you've got that number securely locked in your mind if you could screw it back up again have you got that yeah fantastic I'm going to pass you that I need you to find that number on the page for it I got to look away once you've found that number if you could circle the number and also is a piece of music that it corresponds to once you've done that hold it against your chest that nobody can see have you done that yeah fantastic I'll just get rid of the pen good stuff now you're thinking of a song now which has been chosen from the number those Royal Highness wrote just a month ago now comes the fun part he's now going to go and try and get inside your mind what I need you to do is just stare straight into my eyes fantastic good stuff now what I need you to do is very important you don't do editing out loud but in your lines keep looping the song only in your mind nothing out loud maybe the chorus maybe the words whatever you like just keep looping it for me are you doing that now okay to some sort of okay interesting rap you playing your D please up a semitone maybe it's maybe an e back down keep looping that for me okay we'll get in my charm let's try it maybe a lower I think it might be lower ed would you mind taking over for us maybe shawls or something are okay I don't know ah you're not safe all of that for a second fall I've got an idea and you slow it down a little bit for us and a little bit longer as well here we I got an idea does that sound familiar yeah what is the piece you Cho Jane [Applause] but wait there's more see what's interesting is that you chose James Bond at a specific number that was chosen by His Royal Highness if I open this up and we'll look at that number so you've chosen number 48 what's interesting about that is I predicted this right from the very beginning because as some of you are already aware I have have already been on stage this evening and while I was on stage I set a prediction in fact the very moment you walked in sir because if we show that very moment of the state trumpeters on the screen you'll notice that I am actually an amongst them and just in front of me is a prediction that I made earlier it is in fact a number and it is 48 [Music] [Applause] [Music] please make the noise one more time for the part of the hostile cavalry thank you so much drawn thank you now I would like to leave you with a message a story it's a true story and to tell this I'm going to be using a packet of playing cards because you see playing cards have been used by fortune tellers and magicians to tell stories for hundreds of years as you can see though my class this evening of blank on both sides because the story that I'm about to tell you has never been told before it's a true story about an ordinary day in the life of an extraordinary person I need you to picture the scene right now Afghanistan's Helmand province a mission to clear the most dangerous road in the entire country which is listed with hidden bombs which have been taking the lives of soldiers as well as local men women and children for months now I need you to picture the bomb disposal operator we ask it is to find and render safe those hidden explosives to make it safe once against that his comrades as well as the locals can walk the street safely once again now in this particular day a bomb was reported in the area that is undetectable to the soldiers equipment so he chose to go by foot in search of clues but after hours of searching no bomb was found until he retraced his steps that day and was shocked to find how close he had come and how he had come to keep there but when he finally uncovered that form it was just an inch away from their hips incident our support an inch from this he was one of the lucky ones because he made it home not everyone did the reason this story is so poignant to me is because I know this soldier this soldier is my big brother and tonight I would like to dedicate my performance to him alongside the brave men and women of the British bomb disposal team for their immense bravery and dedication put that life on the line the same others a clean sweep of a hero and my brother he is just one he sends the site many side by side shoulder to shoulder a band of brothers so tonight I would like to honor those men and women sailors soldiers and airmen past and present of Her Majesty's Royal Navy Army and [Applause] a British bomb disposal unit my brother and he sings [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause]
