I was disappointed with the fact that magic had to be used in order for Arthur to pull it out. I guess that it happened to prove that Merlin is actually the man of the legends, not Arthur. Even Leon or Percival would be able to pull it out with Merlin's magic. Merlin only made up this trick in order for Arthur to believe in himself and claim Camelot back.
