Not many experiences can provoke a reaction from Scotland's very own Mr Cool, former Formula One driver David Coulthard, but being driven flat out around a fiery circuit in a Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG by a blindfolded magician is definitely one of them.

The stunt climaxed the season finale of 'Dynamo: Magician Impossible'; first Coulthard got things revving to the redline by flinging the big bruiser around the specially built short circuit in just 38.57 seconds. Then magician Dynamo took the wheel, parts of the track were set alight and he attempted to match Coulthard's time - blindfolded! - with Coulthard in the passenger seat.

He got round without turning them into crispy critters, but the real magic is seen as the camera pans out, to show what the flames spell out.
