Watch: When Eddie Redmayne and Benedict Cumberbatch did magic tricks

Eddie Redmayne and Benedict Cumberbatch are set to become a part of the world that loves their magicians and astral-plane-travelling strangers. Both the British stars have massive franchise movies, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Doctor Strange, coming up for release. It's only fair as they come together for promotions of the films, the fans get to see what magical powers the stars possess.

The duo came together with Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston to have a gala time on The Graham Norton Show. This is when host Graham Norton decided to treat the fans to a little bit of magical performance by Redmayne.

Norton brought a colouring book (a rage right now) which was filled with blank papers and asked Redmayne to do his trick. The actor who plays Newt Scamander in Fantastic Beasts was reluctant at first, but later let it go and set up act one of his performance with Cranston.

For the second part, he took the help of Cumberbatch. Cumberbatch tried his Smaug trick first, to no results, but then came a crossover a lot of people would love to see happen in the movies. Cumberbatch took Eddie Redmayne's wand and cast a spell on the book and voila! all the pictures in the book became colourful.

Let's hope after this, Kevin Feige and JK Rowling think about combining the two worlds.
