Speaker 4: of right off of getting.
Speaker 5: Sick and they're just getting the same thing. It just
Speaker 5: keeps coming back around, right.
Speaker 4: That's like what I have sinus like off and mucus
Speaker 4: and just.
Speaker 1: So sad it is.
Speaker 5: We're like walking Petrie dishes. It's just the worst thing ever.
Speaker 6: Oh man, well.
Speaker 5: You don't you know I have a wife, so you
Speaker 5: don't have to come and take care of me like
Speaker 5: you come and take care of your kids.
Speaker 1: It's nice.
Speaker 5: And Susan is amazing. When I'm sick, She's like, get
Speaker 5: better and then she just throws things at me. I'm kidding.
Speaker 5: She's the best ever. She's just the right amount of
Speaker 5: taking care of me and get out of bed.
Speaker 4: Focus Pocus of a chicken noodle soup that I swear
Speaker 4: just make even when you feel like garb magical so good.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Really, there's also there's another one like that too. It's
Speaker 5: uh they call it something penicillin. I forget what it is,
Speaker 5: but it's like super penicillin really good.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh I just call it that because it's like, no
Speaker 4: matter how crappy you're feeling from being sick, this soup
Speaker 4: just gives you the goodness the it's the thick granny
Speaker 4: noodles and veggies and oh it's just so young.
Speaker 5: I thought it was the same thing with vodka, but
Speaker 5: it doesn't work that way.
Speaker 1: I just keep drinking it and I keep getting sick.
Speaker 1: It's so weird.
Speaker 4: Well it's because you got to switch to tequila.
Speaker 5: Well everyone knows that, so I apologize to everybody out
Speaker 5: there who has to listen to my nasal nasal ness.
Speaker 5: But that being said, welcome back to Magical Rewind, the
Speaker 5: show that makes you want to grab your friends your pjs.
Speaker 1: And that awesome chicken soup that's freea makes and.
Speaker 5: Go back to a time when all the houses are smart,
Speaker 5: the waves tsunamis, and I could breathe through both nostrils.
Speaker 1: I'm Wilford Brian abracadabra. Yes that's right.
Speaker 5: Watch as I pull this brand new episode out of
Speaker 5: my hat, because we are taking on two thousand and
Speaker 5: five's magical drama. Now you see it on today's show,
Speaker 5: very excited. I was gonna say, now you see it,
Speaker 5: but there's no exclamation points, so it's just now you
Speaker 5: see it, Now you see it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's question markets now.
Speaker 4: You see it?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 1: Now you see it? Do we?
Speaker 5: The movie first debut on the Disney Channel on January fourteenth,
Speaker 5: two thousand and five, right in the heyday, and was
Speaker 5: filmed in get Ready, a new spot for US, New Orleans, Yes, Louisiana,
Speaker 5: that's right. We left the comfort of Utah and Canada
Speaker 5: and found a new home base. But things didn't quite
Speaker 5: go so smoothly, as the cast and crew were forced
Speaker 5: to evacuate right before they started you thanks to Hurricane Ivan.
Speaker 5: And you know I should tell you right now if
Speaker 5: you want to hear more about that story, you're gonna
Speaker 5: have to go check out our Park Copper episode because
Speaker 5: we got to interview the star of this movie, Johnny paccarr,
Speaker 5: and he tells all about it. So I won't get
Speaker 5: too much more into that. You're gonna have to go check
Speaker 5: it out over there because it's a really.
Speaker 6: Cool story, pretty wild little journey for.
Speaker 1: This little tidbit.
Speaker 5: Now, We are always quick to point out stunt doubles
Speaker 5: when they appear in these movies, but it is worth
Speaker 5: noting that in this movie the cast actually did all
Speaker 5: of their own magic tricks, except for those that obviously
Speaker 5: use special effects, like the floating card trick, which is
Speaker 5: not possible thanks to that little thing called gravity.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Isaac Newton. Whatever.
Speaker 5: Even though this movie didn't quite leave a long lasting
Speaker 5: impression in the world it becomes, at the time, a
Speaker 5: sequel was rumored to be in pre production. It was
Speaker 5: going to be called and Now You Don't, which is
Speaker 5: a very clever title, but allegedly it came down to
Speaker 5: Ali Mashaka deciding between that and cow bells, and we
Speaker 5: know which one she chose because we already did cow
Speaker 5: bells mmm here on Magical rewind that was my cow noise,
Speaker 5: Thank you very much, which I can do because both
Speaker 5: my nostrils are blocked.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5: Musically, it is worth noting here in the movie they
Speaker 5: did get Ali and her sister aj.
Speaker 1: Of course, the Disney famous singers.
Speaker 5: To cover the song do You Believe In Magic, which
Speaker 5: we hear not only in the soundtrack but in the
Speaker 5: film itself.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's get this out of the way. Sabrina. Do
Speaker 1: you like magic?
Speaker 6: I do.
Speaker 4: I'm a little of an overthinker, so it is hard
Speaker 4: for me to go to a magic show and not try.
Speaker 1: To question everything, question watch.
Speaker 4: Every like, oh you know, oh that couldn't have been that,
Speaker 4: you know, the magician the magician again, that's a double
Speaker 4: up there, you know whatever, and oh.
Speaker 1: God, you're a magician's best friend then, aren't you. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I have a hard time doing it. But I do
Speaker 4: really like them, like when it's a really great show
Speaker 4: that's produced really well. I do like going to magic shows.
Speaker 1: Have you been to the Magic Castle?
Speaker 4: I was just gonna say the Magic Castle, however, was
Speaker 4: not one of my favorites. It actually was.
Speaker 6: It was Keeley's twenty first birthday.
Speaker 1: We went, okay, was it or was it not?
Speaker 6: Was it not?
Speaker 4: It was place was really cool, like being there was amazing.
Speaker 4: Some the show itself was like, no.
Speaker 1: Really, what happened? What kind of magic was it?
Speaker 4: I don't even feel like there really was much of
Speaker 4: a magic situation. It was just like it was I
Speaker 4: don't know, I mean, it was just not I was
Speaker 4: expecting this like just incredible show and it just kind
Speaker 4: of regardless, the night was amazing.
Speaker 6: Being there felt sure.
Speaker 4: It was very cool, really kind of like nostalgic in
Speaker 4: the sense of like just knowing like the history of
Speaker 4: this place. But the actual magic show was just like
Speaker 4: on a really small little stage.
Speaker 1: Or did you do that? Was it close up? Did
Speaker 1: you do the close up magic room? Were you all
Speaker 1: very close to the person.
Speaker 4: Who was intimate? I feel like it was just our
Speaker 4: group that was in there, So it wasn't really that great.
Speaker 4: I thought it was going to be a lot better,
Speaker 4: but being there it Besides that, just being there was
Speaker 4: just really cool because you have to have like some
Speaker 4: someone in the group has to be like a member
Speaker 4: of something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, do you remember or you have to know one
Speaker 5: of the magicians or something like that. We're still the
Speaker 5: Podmeats World crew is gonna is still trying.
Speaker 4: To go, so we're trying to you guys, gotta do
Speaker 4: that great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a ton of cool.
Speaker 4: The bar area is really really awesome. The thing I
Speaker 4: remember is because it was Keiley and she was the
Speaker 4: youngest of us, you know, that was her twenty first birthday,
Speaker 4: and I remember She's like, I want to buy like
Speaker 4: something really cool at the bar and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 4: let's get some whiskey.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, what, You're not a fan of whiskey. I
Speaker 1: was like.
Speaker 4: Twenty three years old. No, I like just took a
Speaker 4: sip and was like.
Speaker 6: Wow, oh god, no, what did we do that was awful?
Speaker 4: Can we get ordered like a.
Speaker 6: Cosmopolitan sour please?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I probably ordered something stupid like that. I mean really,
Speaker 4: but it was just funny because you know, twenty first
Speaker 4: and it's like the baby of the group is twenty one.
Speaker 6: Now, like, let's get a real, real drink.
Speaker 5: Oh wow, we're very different. Just put whiskey in glass,
Speaker 5: Bourbon in a glass, or Vodkan and glass. I'm good.
Speaker 1: If anything else.
Speaker 4: Gets away, oh now, like Jordan has, I have a
Speaker 4: tiny bit of a taste for it. But yeah, back then, no,
Speaker 4: I'm drinking like Cosmopolitans and like Lee Gi Martini.
Speaker 5: All too sweet. People are like, you want it on
Speaker 5: the rocks. I'm like, nope, that just gets in the way.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: This movie, however, does follow a tradition of movies about
Speaker 1: magic in Hollywood summer. Good, some are bad.
Speaker 5: We've Got The Prestige, The Escape Artist, The Incredible Bert Wonderstone,
Speaker 5: The Illusionist, and a movie that is slowly becoming a
Speaker 5: franchise and has almost the same exact name as this movie,
Speaker 5: Now You See Me, but this one stars Jesse Eisenberg,
Speaker 5: Mark Ruffalo, Common Woody Harrelson. And a third installment of
Speaker 5: this movie is actually already in the works, and we
Speaker 5: just heard that apparently it's gonna be called now You
Speaker 5: See Me, Now You Don't, which was originally going to
Speaker 5: be the title of the this.
Speaker 1: People Now You Don't.
Speaker 5: Yes, so very crazy and as usual, this movie is
Speaker 5: available to stream right now on Disney.
Speaker 1: Plus No tricks involved.
Speaker 5: Swear you can watch it now before we get into it,
Speaker 5: or listen after we break it down. The good news
Speaker 5: here is we're never going to know. So when you
Speaker 5: see us out in the street and ask, hey, did
Speaker 5: you watch now? You see it before or after you
Speaker 5: listen to the podcast, you can say whatever you like.
Speaker 1: That's on you. We're not gonna know if you're lying.
Speaker 1: That's the best part about it.
Speaker 6: I would never do.
Speaker 5: I might anytime I meet you, I'm gonna be like, hey,
Speaker 5: did you watch before or after?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 5: We ask all the time, did you know anything about
Speaker 5: this movie before we started our lovely podcast?
Speaker 4: I didn't, but I had been around two thousand and five,
Speaker 4: is when I actually met Ali, So I don't even
Speaker 4: remember if she had had filmed this at that point.
Speaker 6: So it was this was.
Speaker 5: Kind of like right when she was going to break
Speaker 5: because I think, and we'll get into this, I believe
Speaker 5: this was her first Yeah, I think.
Speaker 4: So too, so that I you know, I was on
Speaker 4: the earlier side of her career as she was a
Speaker 4: rising star along along with her sister, And this was
Speaker 4: a movie that I don't even know. I'd have to
Speaker 4: really go back and look at the actual dates of
Speaker 4: like if she had even filmed this at this point.
Speaker 4: She's just such a cutie p tuity, I mean perfect
Speaker 4: for the channel.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, perfect, Yes, absolutely doesn't you. I loved
Speaker 5: this movie. I used to watch this movie all the.
Speaker 1: Time growing up.
Speaker 6: No, oh, I'm sure you did.
Speaker 1: Never heard of this movie at all?
Speaker 4: You do you like magic? Were you excited when you
Speaker 4: figured it out?
Speaker 1: I like actual magic.
Speaker 5: I don't mean meaning I like like magic castle kind
Speaker 5: of magic. The guys in Vegas that are like I
Speaker 5: lived in a box for three weeks and didn't eat.
Speaker 5: That's not magic to me. That's just you living in
Speaker 5: a box for three weeks not eating. Okay, So it's
Speaker 5: like the people that do that where it's like I'm
Speaker 5: gonna catch a bullet.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But if you're hey, make a card levitate or wow,
Speaker 5: it is the Seven of Diamonds, I'm in for that
Speaker 5: all day.
Speaker 1: But the but the.
Speaker 5: Kind of crappy magicians, I mean, they're more experimental magicians,
Speaker 5: I guess where it's kind of they're doing things where
Speaker 5: it's like I'm gonna be buried in ice for three weeks,
Speaker 5: Like Okay, that doesn't seem like magic to me. That
Speaker 5: just seems like you're doing something. And by the way,
Speaker 5: that one guy, Chris Angel all the magic.
Speaker 1: In the world, he can't magic himself up a pair
Speaker 1: of sleeves. Very strange.
Speaker 5: Who would you say right now is the most famous
Speaker 5: magician in the world.
Speaker 4: The first ones that come to mind are the Vegas like,
Speaker 4: yeahel not Well, I've seen his show. His show was
Speaker 4: was pretty good. David Copperfield, Yes for me, just knowing
Speaker 4: like most people know of his show.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he made like a statue of liberty disappear
Speaker 1: and do.
Speaker 6: All that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and his show in Vegas has been there for years.
Speaker 4: It has been there for so long, so you most
Speaker 4: likely if you are a want to go to a
Speaker 4: magic show, you most likely have caught his show in Vegas.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree. Well, I would also say, oh, I
Speaker 5: mean it depends. Most famous magician of all time would
Speaker 5: have to be Harry Houdini. I would think, right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: But nowadays I think that it is the Chris Angels
Speaker 5: and the David Blaine.
Speaker 1: Uh you know there's there's guys like that. So those
Speaker 1: are those.
Speaker 6: Well, Chriss Angel had a TV show for a minute.
Speaker 1: So Dave I think David Blaine has one now and
Speaker 1: then those guys.
Speaker 4: Kind of bringing it to main Street that you're not
Speaker 4: having to go to an actual show you can.
Speaker 6: Actually it's cool.
Speaker 4: Watch is making it a little bit more Major's cool. Yeah, no,
Speaker 4: I agree, it's but yeah, some of them are just
Speaker 4: like okay, especially when it's on camera, come on, so
Speaker 4: hard not to not go.
Speaker 6: That was a quick edit, like, you know, it's weird.
Speaker 5: But anyway, let's figure out our magic here because it's
Speaker 5: time to visit the Magic Mansion.
Speaker 1: For the synopsis.
Speaker 5: Danny Sinclair is one of three finalists in a TV
Speaker 5: contest to find the best Young Magician. Producer Alison Miller
Speaker 5: is determined he will win and will stop at nothing
Speaker 5: to make that happen.
Speaker 1: Now, is this the d COM's first foray into reality tv?
Speaker 1: I think it is? Is have we seen anything other?
Speaker 5: Because it's a great idea for a reality show. Let's
Speaker 5: be honest, find the best kids Magician.
Speaker 1: That's a great.
Speaker 6: Reality TV show, like so much fun.
Speaker 5: But I don't know if I think this is the
Speaker 5: first time they ever actually, because two thousand and five,
Speaker 5: the early two thousands is when reality TV really started
Speaker 5: with like the Real World and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5: Is really what what did it?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 5: Even Stevens movie, that's right, the Even Stevens movie talked
Speaker 5: about their reality.
Speaker 4: Show family they were yep, yeah, and True Confessions wasn't
Speaker 4: a reality show, but it was her filming her life,
Speaker 4: right to add edit her own reality.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, there's that too. Yeah, so they're they're they're
Speaker 1: breaking into it.
Speaker 5: But yeah, yeah, this movie was directed by a very
Speaker 5: familiar name for us, probably not as familiar as Paul
Speaker 5: Hohen by this time. Who's Everybody's favorite fan, Everybody's family
Speaker 5: member at this point.
Speaker 1: But Dwayne Dunham on the Decom Front.
Speaker 5: He directed Tiger Cruz, Right on Track, Ready to Run,
Speaker 5: and some podcast favorites Double Teamed Kila and Thirteenth Year
Speaker 5: and Halloween Town. But his biggest industry success came as
Speaker 5: an editor, where he won an Emmy for Twin Peaks
Speaker 5: and worked on movies like Bill and Ted's excellent adventure
Speaker 5: Blue Velvet and Star Wars Return of the Jedi Yikes.
Speaker 5: The movie stars the afore mentioned Ali Mashaka, one of
Speaker 5: the sister pop music and acting duo Ali and aj
Speaker 5: As Allison, and this was her first movie ever.
Speaker 1: She was already a channel favorite on TV show Phil
Speaker 1: in the.
Speaker 5: Future, where she played Keeley Teslo dcom Whyse. She shared
Speaker 5: the screen with her sister in cow Bells, which you've
Speaker 5: already talked about, But you may know her for movies
Speaker 5: like band Slam, which is the one I mentioned was
Speaker 5: the better version of Lemonade Mouth, easy A or the
Speaker 5: TV show Eye Zombie. By the way, I just rewatched
Speaker 5: Band Slam, not that long ago. I got to rewatch
Speaker 5: Lemonade Mouth because maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Lemonade Mouth is
Speaker 5: a better version of that.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Ban Slam was really good.
Speaker 4: Love to See You Eat your words, that would be amazing.
Speaker 1: Band Slam was really really good, but Lemonade Mouth not bad.
Speaker 1: We'll have to figure it out.
Speaker 5: But again they band Slam shows them practicing and becoming
Speaker 5: a band, which which you earn huge points for me
Speaker 5: when you're actually show them how they're learning as opposed
Speaker 5: to just starting to tap on a thing.
Speaker 1: And then now we're a band. Where will we put
Speaker 1: Ali and AJ in the Disney Channel Hall of Fame?
Speaker 5: They definitely be members. Are they are they? Are we
Speaker 5: giving them lady? Are they Lady Alian Aj?
Speaker 1: At this point? Are we there? I don't know if
Speaker 1: we're there yet, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean, they definitely would be h what would they
Speaker 4: be like Elisa Duchess.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they're Duchess Okay there the Duchess Alien because they.
Speaker 4: I would say, they definitely had a huge presence, but
Speaker 4: they they don't. They didn't come from like, you know,
Speaker 4: neither one of these two d coms are like oh
Speaker 4: the you.
Speaker 1: Know right, this was not high school musical or on
Speaker 1: that highest level.
Speaker 4: But they definitely are favorites of fans out there we
Speaker 4: know as we know so, but I mean they're they
Speaker 4: were in at the time of this area, and I
Speaker 4: feel like the the theme song that I Know We'll
Speaker 4: get to was a part of these these albums that
Speaker 4: Disney used to put out called disney Mania, and it
Speaker 4: was songs from movies of the Disney World that that
Speaker 4: they had fresh artists putting on. And Ali and Aj
Speaker 4: were on almost every single one of these Disney Mania,
Speaker 4: so they were definitely a part of it. They just
Speaker 4: didn't have a huge show or movie to go along
Speaker 4: with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 6: That was like a blown up one. Okay, huge presence
Speaker 6: for sure.
Speaker 5: They're they're being knighted. Adjacent is what we would have
Speaker 5: to say. Not quite there, but they're close.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then we've got Johnny Bakarr as Danny Sinclair.
Speaker 5: Johnny's been seen in dozens of TV shows like American Dreams,
Speaker 5: Crossing Jordan, and Grey's Anatomy, and started the ABC Family
Speaker 5: gymnastics show Make It or Break It. And we've got
Speaker 5: a winner this week in the Dabney Reynolds chair oh
Speaker 5: Man do We actor Frank Langella is Max. Langella played
Speaker 5: Richard Nixon the movie Frost Nixon. If you haven't seen it,
Speaker 5: go see it. It is phenomenal. A role he was
Speaker 5: Oscar nominated for, and in addition to that, he won
Speaker 5: four Tonys. He also appeared to movies like Diary of
Speaker 5: a Mad Housewife, Dave another great movie, and The Trial
Speaker 5: of the Chicago Seven. And of all the magic tricks
Speaker 5: in this movie, the one that impressed me the most.
Speaker 1: Wait for it, people, The d com is eighty nine minutes.
Speaker 1: Eighty nine minutes.
Speaker 5: Sure it's not the target, we know that, but it's
Speaker 5: real close and on the right side of history. So
Speaker 5: we will accept eating nine and give them a minute
Speaker 5: if they need to, not.
Speaker 6: Give us a ninety one thought.
Speaker 1: Dare don't you dare?
Speaker 5: We know it's up and the writer is Bill Fritz,
Speaker 5: a new name to us. This is the only movie
Speaker 5: he ever wrote, but is a producer on a totally
Speaker 5: different type of content now, with credits on The Real
Speaker 5: Housewives of Orange County, Beverly Hills, and Miami. He is
Speaker 5: in the Bravo Family now, which is a far cry
Speaker 5: from the decom world. And I'm waiting to see Sabrina
Speaker 5: on the new Real Housewives of Orange County.
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, okay, guys. Magician never reveals their secrets, but
Speaker 1: that doesn't stop.
Speaker 5: Us from jumping in to now you see it. So
Speaker 5: we open where we open a lot of times. We
Speaker 5: open with photos, presumably from the movie we're about to watch.
Speaker 5: Our narrator, Allison tells us nothing has been the same
Speaker 5: since the final competition.
Speaker 1: She's also in her bedroom. I'd like to point out,
Speaker 1: which is where we start. A lot of these movies, people.
Speaker 5: Think Danny ran away and is in hiding and something
Speaker 5: he never actually existed. But she knows he's She was
Speaker 5: there and it was terrifying, even if she hasn't figured
Speaker 5: out how it all went down. But she knows Dennis
Speaker 5: and Claire is real and she's ready to tell us
Speaker 5: the story. We jump right into an audience filled TV studio.
Speaker 5: Allison tells us that she was hired as a segment
Speaker 5: producer to a new reality TV show. A senior producer,
Speaker 5: mis McAllister explains to the group of aspiring producers that
Speaker 5: they're about to be part of television history because this show,
Speaker 5: World's Greatest Magician is produced entirely by kids. As people
Speaker 5: who have worked in TV, I think we can both
Speaker 5: agree this is a bad idea. Hey, I love the
Speaker 5: idea of training kids to be producers, but when they're
Speaker 5: running the show.
Speaker 1: Maybe not the best thing ever.
Speaker 5: This is a show to find the best kid magician
Speaker 5: and it will begin with three finalists, and whichever producer
Speaker 5: can find those three, those.
Speaker 1: Producers get to stay on the show.
Speaker 5: Alison eagerly jumps up from the audience, a little too excited,
Speaker 5: causing some giggles.
Speaker 1: Miss McAllister moves on asking what's the most.
Speaker 5: Important rule in TV, and a very prepared Allison answers correctly,
Speaker 5: it's to always keep your camera rolling.
Speaker 1: Miss McAll Uster then introduces his group to the show's.
Speaker 5: Host, the Amazing Mystic Max out Walks, an older man
Speaker 5: in a suit, who explains that one hundred magicians between
Speaker 5: the ages of ten and sixteen became eligible for the
Speaker 5: show by figuring out hidden messages in an ad that
Speaker 5: ran everywhere. Only one producer found the message, though, and
Speaker 5: big surprise, it's Alison. She thinks the puzzle was obvious,
Speaker 5: and the room just thinks she's an overachieving know it
Speaker 5: all due bo and frankly, at this point, they're right,
Speaker 5: that's all we know about her character, and she kind
Speaker 5: of is a bit of a no at all pushy lady.
Speaker 1: But it works for her. Character.
Speaker 5: We are now back in the studio. Ms McAllister has
Speaker 5: divided the producers into field teams. Allison has cameraman Cedric
Speaker 5: and a mentor named Paul. They're immediately sent off to
Speaker 5: their region to find their contestants and try to lock
Speaker 5: in a finalist. Then we do something which I love,
Speaker 5: which is my favorite thing. It's just kind of a montage,
Speaker 5: you know. I'm a big fan of a montage where
Speaker 5: they're finding these magicians all over the country. One hopeful
Speaker 5: can't get out of his straight jacket, while another kid
Speaker 5: tries to make his pet dog disappear, but he can't
Speaker 5: get anything right. Then a girl unsuccessfully attempts at card trick,
Speaker 5: and another can't get her rings to unlink.
Speaker 1: It was a wildly bad day.
Speaker 5: Alison says her contestants were impressively pathetic and knows if
Speaker 5: she doesn't find someone cool enough to be in the
Speaker 5: top three, her career would be over before it even started.
Speaker 1: I have a question for you, how old do you
Speaker 1: think she was supposed to be here?
Speaker 4: Okay, that question popped up almost immediately first, when I
Speaker 4: wasn't really like necessarily, I guess realizing that it was
Speaker 4: kids being producers. And when she's saying I got a
Speaker 4: producing job, I'm like, wait, how old is she expected
Speaker 4: to be right now? Because she doesn't look old, but
Speaker 4: she definitely isn't in some of the decoms that we're
Speaker 4: expecting to or we're expected to believe that they're thirteen fourteen.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking she's like sixteen seventeen.
Speaker 5: But she's supposed to be she's not supposed to be
Speaker 5: an adult, right, No, okay, so she's not like a
Speaker 5: twenty one or twenty two year old producer.
Speaker 4: No, but when they're in the house, then they're like
Speaker 4: and they's they're staying there, like they have dorms and
Speaker 4: stuff like. That's when I'm like, wait, I'm this is
Speaker 4: she kind of more of an adult in it? But no,
Speaker 4: there's no way she She didn't look at all over
Speaker 4: the age of sixteen or so.
Speaker 5: Okay, and they don't nobody. They show parents, but none
Speaker 5: of the parents are there.
Speaker 1: It was strange. It's like, are there adults going on?
Speaker 4: You can tell the parents weren't there until the very
Speaker 4: right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so okay, that was I thought that was strange too.
Speaker 4: But like then you do have kind of boarding schools
Speaker 4: and you do have kind of sleep away camps.
Speaker 5: But for a reality show, I mean the girl the
Speaker 5: girl magician has got to be like twelve or thirteen.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, unsupervised is.
Speaker 1: A little much. Yeah uh.
Speaker 5: They end up pulling up to their last hope's house
Speaker 5: and their final contestant is Creepily This is funny is
Speaker 5: creepily looking at them from his window. Paul locks the
Speaker 5: car and they're welcomed by the contestants parents, mister Missus Sinclair,
Speaker 5: who explained Danny has been very anxious to meet them.
Speaker 5: Once inside the house, Alison and the team make their
Speaker 5: way to his room, where Danny is blowing up a
Speaker 5: massive balloon, but when the producer startle him, the balloon
Speaker 5: quickly deflates and darts throughout the room, knocking stuff over
Speaker 5: all over the place. Danny then introduces himself and starts
Speaker 5: his audition. He's back to blowing up the big balloon,
Speaker 5: but he keeps popping. He reveals a dove is supposed
Speaker 5: to fly out, but his attempts keep failing and the
Speaker 5: balloon keeps popping and popping and popping.
Speaker 1: Danny is very frustrated.
Speaker 5: This means an awful lot to him, and I thought
Speaker 5: he got kind of irrationally angry, but I get why, but.
Speaker 1: It was kind of like I'm doing this. It was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's okay.
Speaker 4: The whole movie. He got very like caressive, a little like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 4: let's take a good sucker breath.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Abra could calm down. That's what I would to
Speaker 1: say to this guy. But he yes.
Speaker 5: He reveals that the a dove is supposed to fly
Speaker 5: out his attempts keep popping. Danny is very frustrated. Alison
Speaker 5: understands this means a lot to her too. He keeps
Speaker 5: trying again and again, and the balloon will not stop popping.
Speaker 5: The floor is covered in deflated balloons. There's like twenty balloons.
Speaker 5: The producers eventually leave Danny hanging his head in shame.
Speaker 1: We're at the car.
Speaker 5: Allison realizes she's going to be kicked off the show.
Speaker 5: She didn't even find a finalist. But just then, Mentor
Speaker 5: Paul unlocks the trunk and a dozen white doves.
Speaker 1: Fly out of the car. Whoa Cedric got the whole.
Speaker 5: Thing on tape and Alison thinks she's found her magician.
Speaker 1: That's so cool? Who is again?
Speaker 5: As they pan up looking at them from his window
Speaker 5: with a fearful scowl.
Speaker 1: He could just be a serial killer. At this point,
Speaker 1: we're not entirely sure.
Speaker 5: Who's just leaves broken balloons at every murder side.
Speaker 1: He's just called balloon man or something. Yes, very creepy.
Speaker 5: Alison goes back and shows the tape to Mystic Max,
Speaker 5: who is instantly impressed. But another producer, a hater named Hunter,
Speaker 5: who you could just tell as the guy we're supposed
Speaker 5: to hate, instantly he smells something fishy. He thinks Alison
Speaker 5: and Danny worked all of this out ahead of time.
Speaker 5: He thinks it's a whole scam, and Miss Pacallister reminds
Speaker 5: everyone that colluding with a contestant is forbidden. Paul stands
Speaker 5: up for his team. He says he thinks the kid's
Speaker 5: a real deal, and just like that, Allison found the
Speaker 5: show's last contestant. Both she and Danny are in on
Speaker 5: the raid of the show, unexplainably traveling in a trolley,
Speaker 5: which I thought was weird, but then I also realized
Speaker 5: the timing, and I think they're going a little Harry
Speaker 5: Potter train, like the Train and Hogwarts. I think it's
Speaker 5: supposed to kind of be symbolic of that because they're
Speaker 5: like on a train to their magic castle.
Speaker 4: I didn't I didn't understand it at all. I also,
Speaker 4: at this point now trying to figure out, Okay, I
Speaker 4: don't think they're in Utah, and I do not think
Speaker 4: they're I'm trying to figure out where the hell they are.
Speaker 4: Don't recognize anything.
Speaker 6: This is math that said, I've seen ever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and there are so many trains throughout that.
Speaker 6: I mean, that's one of my best.
Speaker 4: Like we are on trolley number nineteen here.
Speaker 1: Will I know. I think this is a Harry Potter thing.
Speaker 5: I think this is like taking the kids on the
Speaker 5: train to the magic castle.
Speaker 1: Is what I think is I think is Harry Potters.
Speaker 6: That's okay.
Speaker 5: Alison is here on the train sharing her thoughts with Danny.
Speaker 5: She thinks the quote I'm a disaster who can't do
Speaker 5: magic bit and then to shock everyone with the doves
Speaker 5: is the perfect approach on the show to take. She
Speaker 5: also has costume and gimbick ideas, but Danny seems completely unenthused.
Speaker 5: Just then, another finalist, Brandon, approaches with a card trick.
Speaker 5: He has Alison pick a card, then it magically jumps
Speaker 5: out of his deck. It's a very good trick. But
Speaker 5: immediately Danny jumps in. He makes Brandon pick a card
Speaker 5: this time, and then flings the entire deck at the
Speaker 5: trolley window. As the cards trickled out of the floor,
Speaker 5: a jack of diamonds remains stuck to the window, but
Speaker 5: is weirdly behind the glass, like on the outside of
Speaker 5: the car.
Speaker 1: Everyone is then shocked, that's a real magic trick.
Speaker 5: Oh, no, I know, I've seen that's a what's his
Speaker 5: name trick? Does David Blaine does that a lot?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 6: What do you mean that's a real magic trick.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you.
Speaker 2: Danielle, my wife, was sitting next to David Blaine on
Speaker 2: a plane. She didn't know who he was, and I'll
Speaker 2: do the abbreviated version, but he basically then said, do
Speaker 2: you want to see a trick? Then he pretended he
Speaker 2: didn't know what he was doing and fumbled the cards
Speaker 2: and threw it towards her window, which was closed. Then
Speaker 2: he said, oh, maybe just open it, and then he
Speaker 2: opened it and the card was behind the airplane window.
Speaker 1: So like on the outside of the plane.
Speaker 3: Well, it could be in between the panes.
Speaker 2: We don't know that answer, but we know that it
Speaker 2: wasn't on the pane facing her, like she could not
Speaker 2: touch the card and then he just said nice to
Speaker 2: meet you or whatever, and then they just left and
Speaker 2: that's it.
Speaker 3: That's the whole story. And she was like he's a witch.
Speaker 2: And just like kept walking and didn't know he was
Speaker 2: David Blaine, which is even funnier. It was just like
Speaker 2: that guy just he truly is a goblin or whatever.
Speaker 1: Oh man, No, I've seen that trick before. I've seen
Speaker 1: him do that trick before, so I know it was
Speaker 1: a trick.
Speaker 4: He cannot wait to have her on the next episode
Speaker 4: because I'm gonna have to ask her about that. That
Speaker 4: which that.
Speaker 1: Would scare that she was scared okay with it.
Speaker 4: I would not like, don't you come starting doing magic
Speaker 4: just out of nowhere to me, No, huh, that's not fair.
Speaker 4: Let me know what you are, what's your deal. I
Speaker 4: will participate and be excited because I you know, my
Speaker 4: face would just be like shocking on.
Speaker 6: I'd be very exciting, but that would scare me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that doesn't remember if she got up for the bathroom,
Speaker 2: like she at that point had already kind of like
Speaker 2: erased what happened on the plane so like she doesn't
Speaker 2: know if he was alone there for a while, Like
Speaker 2: she doesn't know anything. And so we like she carried
Speaker 2: that around for years being like Okay, well I sat
Speaker 2: next to a wizard or whatever, and then a magician,
Speaker 2: a magician semi recently was like, okay, it's a trick.
Speaker 2: And then we were like we never want to know
Speaker 2: how he did it, Like, no one wants to know.
Speaker 3: I don't want to know.
Speaker 1: I could just see.
Speaker 5: I could see like turning and looking at the window,
Speaker 5: seeing your car outside, then just going like.
Speaker 1: Hi, I'm going to need to move seats immediately.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I would like to check all of my
Speaker 4: luggage at this point, because they were.
Speaker 1: Clearly already they were planing at this point. Oh geeesh
Speaker 1: oh man, okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah landed.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and he probably just like kept walking right
Speaker 4: like yeah, they.
Speaker 3: Didn't even didn't even talk about it.
Speaker 5: Or if he just levitated off his seat and floated
Speaker 5: out of the plane, that.
Speaker 6: Would think me ow.
Speaker 4: I would hate all of good story, But I would
Speaker 4: have loved it if he was like, Hey, I'm this
Speaker 4: great magician.
Speaker 5: Well no, that's not how you do it. That's that's
Speaker 5: got to be the shock of being like, wow, I
Speaker 5: don't have a kit and now I do, and I'm
Speaker 5: cat guy. I mean, like you want to that's how
Speaker 5: you gotta do it. Oh, he's playing the part, playing
Speaker 5: the part anyway.
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, I'm glad she made it out.
Speaker 1: Okay, she's fine. He's a magician.
Speaker 5: But again, okay, so again we are back and Danny
Speaker 5: is brooding, showing no emotion at all. Allison knows his
Speaker 5: attitude won't make good TV. Eventually, the Trolley or the
Speaker 5: Hogwarts train gets to its destination and all the magicians
Speaker 5: and their production teams arrived at a brick castle, the
Speaker 5: Magic Mansion. This is a real magic castle vibe with
Speaker 5: different older magicians doing.
Speaker 1: Tricks all around the main room.
Speaker 5: Max welcomes the three finalists, a girl named Zoe, our
Speaker 5: pal from the Trolley, Brandon, and our contestant Danny. Max
Speaker 5: encourages everyone to think of the mansion as their home.
Speaker 5: The group follows Max as he talks about the mansion's
Speaker 5: illustrious history and how it was founded by a magician
Speaker 5: and Demilo. He also tells him that while in competition,
Speaker 5: the magicians can use every prop, every book, and every
Speaker 5: illusion they find a thought that makes Danny roll his eyes.
Speaker 1: Lastly, Max tells everyone.
Speaker 5: To check their pockets for their room keys, which they
Speaker 5: all find except for Danny, whose key magically appears in
Speaker 5: Max's hand. It appears the host is already interested in
Speaker 5: our young Danny.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 5: Now on their way to the room, with the camera
Speaker 5: still rolling, Alison tells Danny they're going to be attached
Speaker 5: to the hip for the next week, twenty four hours
Speaker 5: a day. But Danny Oh, he ain't having it. He
Speaker 5: quickly enters his room. He has stuff to do. Allison has,
Speaker 5: of course infuriated. Her job is to follow his every move.
Speaker 5: She encourages him to be wildly charismatic, extremely competitive, and
Speaker 5: have a heartbreaking obstacle to overcome. And she says she's
Speaker 5: found all this from watching reality TV, and all those
Speaker 5: things are absolutely true.
Speaker 1: Yep. You it's you.
Speaker 5: Do you find those things where it's like and this
Speaker 5: is this. We found this little girl on the street.
Speaker 5: She was born just a leg but she can sing
Speaker 5: AND's and it's like, Okay, it's.
Speaker 6: Always about the journey. It's not, of.
Speaker 1: Course, it's finding the characters. Of course, he argues.
Speaker 5: His only obstacle right now is Allison and slams the
Speaker 5: door in her face. He eventually reopens the door and
Speaker 5: explains that there are things about him she will never understand,
Speaker 5: but he promises to try his hardest to win if
Speaker 5: she just chills out. Alison appears to agree, but she
Speaker 5: tells us that a deal like this isn't going to
Speaker 5: stop her. She needs to know why he's being so mysterious.
Speaker 5: She sees him as just another puzzle that she has
Speaker 5: to solve. The next day, Max reveals the magician's first challenge.
Speaker 5: A basketball appears in Max's hand, then a rope. The
Speaker 5: basketball appearing in his hand looked a little cheesy to me,
Speaker 5: like a lot of the magic stuff was like, it
Speaker 5: didn't didn't, it.
Speaker 4: Went in and out, it went out. Son was like,
Speaker 4: oh okay, another no, that's not very good.
Speaker 1: Then a rope appears.
Speaker 5: He also throws in a broom, a ten gallon aquarium,
Speaker 5: and a bed sheet, which ominously floats down under the broom.
Speaker 5: The magicians have exactly thirty minutes to make an illusion
Speaker 5: using just those items, so.
Speaker 1: They quickly get to work.
Speaker 5: Their respective production teams document every single move, and instead
Speaker 5: of panicking with his items, Danny just sits down and thinks,
Speaker 5: which of course is worrying Alison. She reminds him to
Speaker 5: be capped, and he responds by wanting to leave. He
Speaker 5: wouldn't have come if he knew he'd be stuck with
Speaker 5: her this entire time. Alison argues she can only try
Speaker 5: to help him. Whatever it is, they can work it out,
Speaker 5: but Danny insists she can't help. He just wants to
Speaker 5: cut the chit chat so he can focus on his trick.
Speaker 5: And then we're thrown right into the World's Greatest Kid
Speaker 5: Magician TV show. Max reintroduces the premise with some big
Speaker 5: David Copperfield desk graphics, and Zoe's up first. She walks out,
Speaker 5: dribbling the basketball and covers it with the sheet, making
Speaker 5: it disappear, then reappear, floating on her side, then hovering
Speaker 5: on top of the sheet. The group applause and Max
Speaker 5: gives her a seven out of ten, which I thought
Speaker 5: she did pretty darn good. Then it's Danny's turn. He
Speaker 5: tells Alison he has no idea what he's gonna do.
Speaker 5: He saunters up on a stage, places the basketball in
Speaker 5: broom and the rope into the fish tank, and then
Speaker 5: blocks the aquarium with the sheet. He says, everything will
Speaker 5: disappear in Brandon, heckelsoim there's no way he can do that.
Speaker 5: But when he does drop the sheet, the broom is
Speaker 5: now standing up in the aquarium, which is now surprisingly
Speaker 5: filled with white fluff, and the ball is orbiting the
Speaker 5: stick tethered around the rope. Max is again impressed and
Speaker 5: obviously this.
Speaker 1: Kid is a witch. Yeah. At this point we realize
Speaker 1: sums up.
Speaker 4: Oh Man, and irritating for poor Ali. Come on, seriously,
Speaker 4: Allison's got all these like visions for him and he
Speaker 4: won't take any shit, any bit of advice.
Speaker 1: A little pushy, she's a little bit pushy.
Speaker 4: She is pushy, but he has zero like desire to
Speaker 4: be better.
Speaker 6: He just is like, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: I'm just because he doesn't what He's just trying to
Speaker 1: find out who he is. He doesn't want to be
Speaker 1: a good magician.
Speaker 5: He wants to find out if he has some kind
Speaker 5: of weird wizard disease or something.
Speaker 1: That's why he's there.
Speaker 5: A Hunter argues, of course, because Hunters a dick, that
Speaker 5: nothing actually disappeared, and that's what he promised, and what
Speaker 5: is all that white stuff? Anyway, we find out it's
Speaker 5: actually real snow, and Hunter and Brandon argue he was
Speaker 5: supposed to only use the five original objects and rules
Speaker 5: of rules. Max likes the trick, but technically agrees, so
Speaker 5: he gives Danny only a three out of ten. Next
Speaker 5: up is the real piece of crap, Brendan, who declares
Speaker 5: he needs an assistant. Max suggests Danny, and though he's
Speaker 5: annoyed by the idea, Brandon joins him on the stage.
Speaker 1: Brandon calls this trick quote the clean sweep.
Speaker 5: He makes Danny hold up the sheet like a curtain
Speaker 5: in front of him and announces and now for the
Speaker 5: most to may.
Speaker 1: And then he goes silent. What happened?
Speaker 5: Danny peeks over the sheet, then drops it. Brandon is gone,
Speaker 5: and Danny's a little startled. He looks to Max and
Speaker 5: they share a moment that's interrupted by a scream. It's
Speaker 5: Brandon holding the broom, but now he's tied to a
Speaker 5: spinning wheel, yelling for Hunter.
Speaker 1: He looks very spooked.
Speaker 5: Everyone applauds, and the trick gets a ten out of ten,
Speaker 5: but we get the feeling that this was not planned
Speaker 5: or in his control at all. Danny stares at Max
Speaker 5: once again, forcing the young magician to storm off the stage.
Speaker 5: Alison follows closely behind. She wants to know what's going
Speaker 5: on here. She thinks he's hiding something and she can't
Speaker 5: work with his secrets. He says he needs to sort
Speaker 5: all this out by himself, and he walks into the
Speaker 5: House of Mirrors. She continues to follow him. She wants
Speaker 5: to know how Brandon ended up on that wheel. He
Speaker 5: offers no help and completely disappears into the reflections. Later
Speaker 5: that night, at the mansion, Allison and Cedric are sneaking
Speaker 5: around trying to find a trapdoor to explain Brandon's trick,
Speaker 5: but then they hear something. It's Brandon the Hunter, also
Speaker 5: looking for a trapdoor. Alison busts them and says she
Speaker 5: knows Brandon had nothing to do with the trick and
Speaker 5: she's going to prove it. The next morning, Max welcomes
Speaker 5: everyone to their new challenge. Each contestant will get a
Speaker 5: wand bearing a famous magician's name. Zoe gets Alexander Herman,
Speaker 5: Brandon gets Harry Blackstone, and Danny gets Harry Houdini. They
Speaker 5: must now research their magician and perform the legend's most
Speaker 5: renowned trick, and this seemed like a lot to me.
Speaker 5: It's like, you're a kid, go do Harry Houdini's greatest
Speaker 5: trick ever. That seems like a like a big challenge.
Speaker 6: They're starting to lose me at this point, Will I.
Speaker 1: Just you're like, Ugh, it just.
Speaker 5: Was like, oh, how many times had you stopped the
Speaker 5: movie by this point?
Speaker 6: By this time, I'm on like five or six, Matt.
Speaker 1: Really you've already stopped the movie this many times?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Actually, the little bit of drama, a little bit
Speaker 4: of drama that happened where all of a sudden, he's
Speaker 4: now when he took over the you know, was supposed
Speaker 4: to be the person that was being a volunteer and
Speaker 4: then he kind of took over. Then I was kind
Speaker 4: of like ooh. But then it was like, now we're
Speaker 4: going to try to see him.
Speaker 6: Do a Houdini. No, no, no.
Speaker 4: I think we need to do something a little bit
Speaker 4: easier And I love that Ugh.
Speaker 5: Breand and Zoe immediately start practicing amongst other roaming magicians,
Speaker 5: but Alison can't find Danny. She explores the mansion, finding
Speaker 5: a library that looks like a century's old church where
Speaker 5: Danny is studying inside he's not looking up Whodini tricks
Speaker 5: at all, though he's focused on something else. He says,
Speaker 5: every book or website he's read about the Magic Mansion
Speaker 5: talks about secret rooms and hidden chambers. But what he's
Speaker 5: finding now is all so basic. And so Alison has
Speaker 5: an idea. They need to find all the books that
Speaker 5: have a specific symbol she notices on the cover. She
Speaker 5: thinks that's the key to figuring all this out, So
Speaker 5: the duo take to the shelves. Once these marked books
Speaker 5: have been retrieved, the duo starts stacking them strategically, eventually
Speaker 5: creating two serpents out of the engraved covers. Danny recognizes
Speaker 5: it from a map he found and figures out if
Speaker 5: they find the symbol in the mansion, then they find
Speaker 5: the secret room. And just like that, this new duo
Speaker 5: plus Cedric of course and his camera are.
Speaker 1: Off to find it.
Speaker 6: And I am in. I'm back in.
Speaker 1: Okay, now you're back in. Now it's national treasure. I
Speaker 1: am back in.
Speaker 4: Now we have totally veered away from Magic all together.
Speaker 1: I am back in the game. We got Sabrina back
Speaker 1: so true.
Speaker 4: I was like, ooh, okay, now I'm intrigued They're now
Speaker 4: deep in the dark lower levels of the mansion, frantically
Speaker 4: searching and finding hidden passages, dead ends, and flocks of bats,
Speaker 4: and just.
Speaker 1: When it's getting a little too scary, they.
Speaker 5: Find the symbol. It includes a Latin phrase that Alison translates,
Speaker 5: leading them to turn a stone for a secret door.
Speaker 5: We now know she speaks Latin, and it's never mentioned
Speaker 5: before or in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 1: She just knows Latin.
Speaker 5: The secret door leads to a clandestine room filled with
Speaker 5: candles in a large vault, and Danny immediately cracks the
Speaker 5: vault open. And when they say here, okay, first of all,
Speaker 5: nobody mentions that there was candles burning the whole time.
Speaker 5: Who was down there to like.
Speaker 6: That, maintaining them? Maybe they were, Maybe they were, Maybe
Speaker 6: they were Actually, yeah, I guess I don't know.
Speaker 4: That's the first scandals.
Speaker 5: The second thing is he goes to the vault door
Speaker 5: and turns it this way, turns it that way, turns
Speaker 5: it this way, and it opens, and she goes, how
Speaker 5: did you do that?
Speaker 1: And he goes with lots of practice, never mentioned that again.
Speaker 1: What is he a safe cracker?
Speaker 5: Was he prepared for this specific vault?
Speaker 4: But then did the thing gets turned again?
Speaker 1: I meant the big the big wheel, the big.
Speaker 4: Big wheel, not a big wheel.
Speaker 5: No, the big wheel when he's cracking it, when he's
Speaker 5: cracking the actual vault. Yes, And they never mentioned that again,
Speaker 5: So apparently he's also a vault.
Speaker 4: Someone goes all to all this trouble, am I right? That,
Speaker 4: Like you would think there would be some type of
Speaker 4: bodyguard somewhere, someone roaming the areas.
Speaker 5: Or some kind of a magical like you have to
Speaker 5: get through. This is where I thought. It's like, okay,
Speaker 5: maybe you have to get through a couple of magical
Speaker 5: things to get in, like do something like magic your
Speaker 5: way in, dude, as opposed to just you have to
Speaker 5: turn the handle. You know, it's you shouldn't be able
Speaker 5: to get into this magic vault as easily as getting
Speaker 5: into a porta potty on the street. Yeah, and that's
Speaker 5: what it seems kind of what's happening.
Speaker 1: So yeah, very strange.
Speaker 5: But the safe that they go into, which Danny opens
Speaker 5: by opening it is filled with safety deposit boxes and
Speaker 5: a table and chairs in the middle of the room.
Speaker 1: Now you have to admit this was awesome.
Speaker 4: Second side, that's part of why I was really in.
Speaker 4: I'm like this set that they're working at is rat It.
Speaker 1: Was yea, this was like National Treasure stuff.
Speaker 4: This is yes, Like it started to go like ooh,
Speaker 4: I love this. This is starting to get very interesting
Speaker 4: for me basically, and like kind of storyline.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Danny can't believe they finally found the magician Demilo's
Speaker 5: secret library. Cedric, who's been a real scaredy cat through
Speaker 5: this whole process, pushes the button again and a small
Speaker 5: acid trip graphic sends them right back to the general
Speaker 5: library where they started. Yep, actual magic. Nobody really mentions that.
Speaker 5: They just go, wow, what happened?
Speaker 1: You teleported?
Speaker 5: You want to maybe have a little bit of a
Speaker 5: conversation about that, But no, like, wow, that's crazy, Let's
Speaker 5: go back to the reality show.
Speaker 4: But they go back and forth with this, like they
Speaker 4: go into one area and then boom they're in like
Speaker 4: the cell. They don't have to go through this big
Speaker 4: elaborate thing anymore.
Speaker 5: Yeah, now they're just in time for the challenge. Zoe
Speaker 5: presents her Alexander Herman trick, pulling three rabbits out of
Speaker 5: a hat and scoring six out of ten. It's Brandon's
Speaker 5: turn for the Harry Blackstone trick where he makes a
Speaker 5: light bulb levitate and scores an impressive eight out of ten.
Speaker 5: And now it's Danny's turn to replicate Houdini's legendary feet
Speaker 5: of making an elephant disappear. He presents his elephant, which
Speaker 5: happens to be Brandon in the costume with another kid
Speaker 5: as the legs. The group laughs as the quote unquote
Speaker 5: elephant walks behind a curtain and causes a commotion, and
Speaker 5: when the sheet falls, Brandon is now dangerously riding a
Speaker 5: mechanical bull and his partner's flung across the stage. It's
Speaker 5: such a mind blowing and danger feeling trick. Everybody is
Speaker 5: visually taken aback. Now regrouped, Hunter's trying to convince miss
Speaker 5: McAllister that Danny should be kicked off the show. Danny
Speaker 5: won't reveal how he did the trick, and everyone thinks
Speaker 5: he's a scam artist. So Hunter, of course, doing what
Speaker 5: you do in a normal situation, floats the idea that
Speaker 5: the Wonderkin actually has magical powers. That's what he says.
Speaker 5: He's like, here's why you should be kicked off the
Speaker 5: show because I think he's a wizard and Everyone's like, huh, interesting,
Speaker 5: follow that up.
Speaker 1: Hunter.
Speaker 4: It's like, wait, what, It's not like he's an eleven
Speaker 4: year old saying this. Hunter, by the way, does look
Speaker 4: over the age of eighteen.
Speaker 1: Y three exactly.
Speaker 4: And you're like, you didn't even hesitate to say that, Hunter, Hunter,
Speaker 4: think about what.
Speaker 1: You just said. I think he's actually a wizard. Like, oh,
Speaker 1: good call, Okay.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there are some things in life people just can't explain.
Speaker 5: Now painted into a corner. To save himself from being
Speaker 5: kicked off the show, Allison asked Danny to tell a
Speaker 5: group how did he manage the mcare anicle bull tricks
Speaker 5: so they can all just move on. But Danny's had enough.
Speaker 5: He admits he has no idea how he did it.
Speaker 5: These things just happen. And that's when Max walks in.
Speaker 5: He applauds the answer, thinks Danny is using the aw
Speaker 5: shucks thing as a gimmick. Max suggests as the president
Speaker 5: of the Worldwide Skeptic Society, which sounds like a really
Speaker 5: great thing, but I doubt they even meet much.
Speaker 1: Ah, I wouldn't do it. Get it.
Speaker 5: Thank you that he put together a group of experts
Speaker 5: to decide what's really going on. Here with with the
Speaker 5: offer on the table, Danny looks very concerned.
Speaker 1: Thank you, I'm glad you got that. I'm glad you
Speaker 1: got that.
Speaker 5: Later, all of the experts have arrived, but Alison can't
Speaker 5: find Danny anywhere. She eventually finds him once again in
Speaker 5: Demilo's secret vault library. He thinks, no matter what happens
Speaker 5: with the panel, it won't end well for him. Allison
Speaker 5: argues it's been great TV, but Danny admits he's just
Speaker 5: a freak. Three years ago, he was walking to school
Speaker 5: when he saw a skateboard in a store window that
Speaker 5: he wanted, and two seconds later it was under his feet.
Speaker 5: He's been trying to figure out what's been wrong with
Speaker 5: him ever since. It's been terrifying and the reason he
Speaker 5: doesn't have any friends. The experts will either recognize the
Speaker 5: gift and have him poked and prodded by the government,
Speaker 5: or he'll just be called a fraud.
Speaker 1: Alison says she knows the feeling of being an outcast.
Speaker 5: Okay, it seems like a stretch to be like, yes,
Speaker 5: you might be a magical magician.
Speaker 1: I know what you're going through, and Danny shakes his head. Yes.
Speaker 1: She agrees because she's also a weirdo.
Speaker 5: Alison suggests he just needs one person to believe in him,
Speaker 5: and that person could be her. She could help explain
Speaker 5: everything to the panel and they might finally have all
Speaker 5: the answers that he needs. Now, did you think she
Speaker 5: liked him? Was this starting to get flirty?
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't get were they going for like relationship?
Speaker 4: When it started to get blurry?
Speaker 2: Right? Me?
Speaker 4: First it felt like this was a working relationship. They
Speaker 4: both were irritated with each other, you know. Then it
Speaker 4: started to be like her messaging that she was sending
Speaker 4: to him was like being his friend and being you
Speaker 4: know that. But then it started to get like, wait,
Speaker 4: is there.
Speaker 6: Feelings behind this friendship?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I started to get kind of blurry, but it wasn't
Speaker 4: very obvious, so it was hard to figure out what
Speaker 4: are we working with?
Speaker 5: And just from her it seemed like it didn't seem
Speaker 5: like he was throwing it back.
Speaker 1: It was just from her.
Speaker 4: She could have paid him dust so fast in this
Speaker 4: movie because he was not nice to her.
Speaker 1: Wait, whatever, what did you just say? What is that? Hey?
Speaker 6: Dust?
Speaker 1: What does that mean? That's awesome?
Speaker 4: Like like kick Rocks, It's the same thing as like,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 1: Pay him duty. I like, pay him no mind, like
Speaker 1: pay him mind.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 1: I love that using that every day.
Speaker 6: That's the coolest kind of an old one.
Speaker 4: And probably I think it probably aged me a little bit,
Speaker 4: but wow, you know it's cool never never even magical.
Speaker 6: Rewind, I get to be young.
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, day you do. This is our job. I
Speaker 1: love that.
Speaker 5: And so with that, Daddy now sits in front of
Speaker 5: a panel of experts, to scientists and a self proclaimed psychic.
Speaker 5: They interrogate him and he answers honestly about a special powers,
Speaker 5: though they're obviously very skeptical, except for the psychic, she
Speaker 5: is very much on board. Max tells Danny to put
Speaker 5: up her shut up, and Danny, though reluctant, with.
Speaker 1: The help of the psychic, lets his powers come to him.
Speaker 5: He eventually levitates out of his seat, which impresses the room,
Speaker 5: but Max is seen enough. He touches Danny's shoulder and
Speaker 5: slowly brings him back down to earth. Max says the
Speaker 5: chair is a device invented by a Scandinavian magician. It's
Speaker 5: been locked away in the mansion storage until now. It
Speaker 5: reappears after Danny has been snooping around downstairs. Max announces
Speaker 5: that Danny is just a magician after all, but very
Speaker 5: clever one. Danny runs off of Allison, following closely behind,
Speaker 5: calling him a liar, But Danny stands by.
Speaker 1: What he said. He didn't lie.
Speaker 5: He thinks Max doesn't want him to expose his real powers,
Speaker 5: so he rigged the chair for some reason. Allison thinks
Speaker 5: he's full of it, but might also have a crush
Speaker 5: on him, we don't really know. She feels fooled and
Speaker 5: set up to make him the star of the show.
Speaker 5: He denies everything, and she calls off their friendship. Wow,
Speaker 5: we're now back to narrating, Allison says. The panel agrees
Speaker 5: that Danny was just a normal kid magician, but that
Speaker 5: meant he's still legally competing in the Grand Finale challenge
Speaker 5: and a shoe in to win. Allison wasn't gonna give
Speaker 5: up her job either. They're just going to keep it
Speaker 5: purely professional, which he doing the whole time anyway.
Speaker 1: But she was crossing it anyway. No more friendship.
Speaker 5: Should they just have been boyfriend and girlfriend or romantically
Speaker 5: linked or something.
Speaker 4: Oh, I always prefer give me a little bit of
Speaker 4: a rom com in there, and I'm.
Speaker 6: Definitely gonna jump on board away more.
Speaker 1: The magical rhyme comes great.
Speaker 4: Yes, well, especially thinking like if this is just a
Speaker 4: friendship and you're allowed, you know, like there's no more
Speaker 4: like deeper feelings there. It's weird to think that you
Speaker 4: would let this guy push you around, not that you
Speaker 4: should if there's feelings. I'm sounding crazy now, but I
Speaker 4: mean it's just weird that like she would I don't know,
Speaker 4: not like I said, not just like sign him off, like.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're a douche, and I don't I don't like
Speaker 6: how you talk to me.
Speaker 5: Like not kick dust in his face or whatever you said. Yes,
Speaker 5: I love it, I love it. We are now back
Speaker 5: at the mansion. Alison is angry again, but Cedric knows
Speaker 5: Danny is at least a very good magician. I mean,
Speaker 5: how did he get those doves in their truck? Allison says, wait,
Speaker 5: I can answer that. She pulls out some footage from that.
Speaker 5: She thinks it'll show him doing something that shows him
Speaker 5: rigging the car, but instead it just shows the doves
Speaker 5: appearing out of thin air and what could have just
Speaker 5: been a bad Disney special effect at the beginning of
Speaker 5: the movie actually proves that Danny created animals out of nothing.
Speaker 1: It's a miracle. It's pronounced miracle. But I wanted to
Speaker 1: see if you're all still with me.
Speaker 5: Alison runs to Danny's room, then the secret vault, but
Speaker 5: Danny isn't there. She roams the halls, eventually landing on
Speaker 5: some muffled chatter. She eavesdrops through a vent and it's
Speaker 5: Max and Danny talking about his powers. Max says he
Speaker 5: has the answers that Danny's been looking for. Alison records
Speaker 5: the conversation on her campquarterer as Max says he understands
Speaker 5: Danny's powers. He is a wizard himself, and he thinks
Speaker 5: Danny might be one too. Max created the show to
Speaker 5: bring out one more great sorcerer and it worked.
Speaker 1: Now this is where I was like, great idea for a.
Speaker 5: Decom So far, the execution to me hasn't been great.
Speaker 6: Not bunge. Max is just like captivating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but you know what it is. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is it's Willy Wonka.
Speaker 5: It's Itah putting out five golden tickets to get kids
Speaker 5: into the chocolate factory, to see who's going to give
Speaker 5: the chocolate factory too, So at this point it's like,
Speaker 5: I'm looking for other wizards.
Speaker 1: So I created a wizard competition. Great idea for d Common.
Speaker 5: Like again, it wasn't perfectly executed, but I was like,
Speaker 5: good idea. Yeah, So Max created the show to bring
Speaker 5: out one more great sorcerer and it worked. Danny doesn't
Speaker 5: get it. If he's so magical, how come he can't
Speaker 5: control his powers. Max tells him he's young and untrained,
Speaker 5: but all that's going to change. He'll help him harness
Speaker 5: his powers, just like his mentor, Antonio de Milo he
Speaker 5: did for him, so he can do it for Danny.
Speaker 5: With that, Max makes a small knight in armor walk
Speaker 5: on the table and ask Danny to do the same.
Speaker 5: He tries, but much like these special effects here, which
Speaker 5: weren't very special, he can't nail it.
Speaker 1: It didn't look good.
Speaker 5: Max coaches him and eventually he gets it right, leading
Speaker 5: to a more skilled fight between the two figurines. Danny's
Speaker 5: knight eventually loses and it flings a mace or flail,
Speaker 5: thank you very much across the room, almost hurting Max.
Speaker 5: It wasn't perfect, but Max assures him, hey, don't worry
Speaker 5: about it. This is what mentors were for, and he
Speaker 5: gives him a big magic emerald ring that couldn't have
Speaker 5: been bigger if it was a giant super Bowl ring
Speaker 5: that will harness his powers and make sure nothing unexpected
Speaker 5: happens again.
Speaker 4: I mean, this is some blank, blank ringg ring, giant
Speaker 4: giant giant ring.
Speaker 5: Danny is relieved as a stone glows on his finger,
Speaker 5: and Max said, Jesse, go get some well deserved rest.
Speaker 5: And once Danny has left, Alison keeps secretly filming as
Speaker 5: Max is joined by Paul, Allison's mentor. They agree Danny
Speaker 5: has a lot of potential to be even more powerful
Speaker 5: than either of them. They have to keep an eye
Speaker 5: on him. The ring will control him for now, especially
Speaker 5: since he won't be able to remove it himself, and
Speaker 5: that's when their evil plan is exposed. Max says, by
Speaker 5: this time tomorrow, Danny's powers will be all his, just
Speaker 5: like he did with Demilo. Oh no, a magical app
Speaker 5: Alison can't believe what she's just heard. She hurries to
Speaker 5: Danny's room to talk to him, but Paul intercepts her
Speaker 5: and sends her off to bed. The next day, Alison,
Speaker 5: followed by Cedric and his camera, finds Danny juggling in
Speaker 5: the front yard. She tries to worry him about Max,
Speaker 5: but again, Paul is nearby. And when I mean nearby,
Speaker 5: I mean six inches away from them in a real
Speaker 5: weird way and very suspicious. It was like he's just
Speaker 5: like there, like looking over the looking over the thing.
Speaker 4: He hadn't been I mean, how much have we seen Paul.
Speaker 4: Not too much since since they found Danny right at
Speaker 4: the very beginning of the movie.
Speaker 6: He wasn't like he was always there.
Speaker 5: It was he's not been here there, but certainly not
Speaker 5: to where He's like he's got to keep an eye
Speaker 5: on them.
Speaker 1: But man, he's he's real close.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: She of course wants to talk to Danny alone, but
Speaker 5: he's happy to be in the final and he's also
Speaker 5: happy to be making real friends for the first time ever.
Speaker 1: He feels like a normal kid.
Speaker 5: But Alison still finds a nearby private spot and tells
Speaker 5: him what she heard Max say. Danny doesn't believe her.
Speaker 5: That doesn't make any sense, but she says she has proof.
Speaker 5: She grabs her camcorder and runs to Miss McAllister's office.
Speaker 5: Why not just show him right there in the camp quarter,
Speaker 5: which is what cam quarters could do back in the day,
Speaker 5: but anyway.
Speaker 1: And just as she's about to start the tape in
Speaker 1: walks Max. He is certainly interested in this conversation.
Speaker 5: He grabs the camp quarterer, pulls out the tape and
Speaker 5: starts to rub it like a creep. He proceeds to
Speaker 5: put it in a tape player, but all the footage
Speaker 5: has disappeared. Alison can't believe this. She knows it was there.
Speaker 5: She begs Miss McAllister to help, but they chuck it
Speaker 5: up to her behavior on the stress of being a
Speaker 5: reality TV producer. Max suggests they send her home immediately
Speaker 5: for her own mental health. Allison tries to fight back,
Speaker 5: but Miss McAllister agrees. Alison tears up, and Max seems satisfied.
Speaker 5: Now she's packed up and leaving. When Danny catches up
Speaker 5: to Alison, she's clearly upset, but Danny reminds her she
Speaker 5: didn't have proof. He doesn't think Max is out to
Speaker 5: get him, and he's finally happy. She says it would
Speaker 5: be more important if someone accepted him for who he is,
Speaker 5: but his final trick is making his only ally disappear.
Speaker 5: And I thought it was Ali, not Ally, but whatever,
Speaker 5: And then she boards that really weird trolley.
Speaker 1: Now on her way.
Speaker 5: Home, she is still bothered by one thing. If Antonio
Speaker 5: Demilo had founded the Magic Mansion and was Max's mentor,
Speaker 5: then what happened to him? This is what she needs
Speaker 5: to solve. She jumps off the weird trolley and starts
Speaker 5: researching at a local library. She learns that De Milo
Speaker 5: was killed by his own magic prop when it fell
Speaker 5: on him and crushed his skull. And then she sees
Speaker 5: the picture of him in his coffin. By the way,
Speaker 5: his skull head looked totally fine in the picture. If
Speaker 5: he was crushed, look totally okay. I guess they magiced
Speaker 5: up a new skull, and he's wearing the same gigantic
Speaker 5: emerald ring. She knows if she doesn't get that ring
Speaker 5: off Danny's finger, he will also die during the big
Speaker 5: final performance. She has to get back to the mansion immediately.
Speaker 5: And over at the Mansion, they're getting ready to film
Speaker 5: the big finale. Even Danny's parents are there. Good to
Speaker 5: know that he has parents Again, we see a cabinet
Speaker 5: being wheeled onto the busy stage.
Speaker 1: It's a delivery for Danny Mims.
Speaker 5: McAllister tells Hunter to find the magicians and make sure
Speaker 5: they're ready. Meanwhile, Danny's confused. He's asking Max if the
Speaker 5: ring stifles his powers and how will he be able
Speaker 5: to pull off this trick. Maybe he's just take off
Speaker 5: the ring until the contest is over. Max tells him
Speaker 5: not to worry about it, just go out on stage
Speaker 5: and Max will do the rest. He wants Danny to
Speaker 5: trust him, but it seems Danny is becoming suspicious. It's
Speaker 5: time for the big show now, people, And finally we
Speaker 5: learn how Alison has made into the mansion.
Speaker 1: She was hiding in the cabinet, much like the way.
Speaker 5: Malfoy got some of the Death theaters into Hogwarts through
Speaker 5: the vanishing cabinets.
Speaker 1: Thank you if you know, you know, that's how she
Speaker 1: got in there.
Speaker 5: No one knows how she got in the cabinet, No clue,
Speaker 5: no need to explain. The movie's almost over and it's
Speaker 5: all about magic. She crawls out just as Max takes
Speaker 5: the stage. Tonight, the world's greatest kid Magician will be crowned,
Speaker 5: and Brandon is up first. Brandon is dressed like a
Speaker 5: member of Panic at the disco and does some rave
Speaker 5: moves holding lights.
Speaker 1: They're just lights.
Speaker 5: Brandon proceeds to pull a huge stick out of a
Speaker 5: paper bag and transitions into some cool card tricks, and
Speaker 5: then nearby Hunter catches Allison sneaking around and tries to
Speaker 5: take her to security, but she sprints away into the
Speaker 5: House of Mirrors, making it impossible to find her. We're
Speaker 5: now back on stage after Max introduces the second finalist, Zoe, who,
Speaker 5: by the way, is the only contestant where every single
Speaker 5: time he introduces her says she's from Philadelphia. He doesn't
Speaker 5: say where anybody else is from most of the time,
Speaker 5: but it's always Zoe from Philadelphia.
Speaker 4: I didn't catch that.
Speaker 1: It is very strange.
Speaker 5: Hunter lets him know that Alison is in the mansion. Backstage,
Speaker 5: Danny is leaving his dressing room when Alison finally catches
Speaker 5: up to him. She tells him about how Demilo died
Speaker 5: because of the ring. She tells him he is in
Speaker 5: real danger, but he doesn't want to take the ring off.
Speaker 5: It's finally made him feel normal. Ms McAllister yells out
Speaker 5: one minute till showtime. Alison begs him not to go
Speaker 5: out there. She cares about him and Max doesn't, but
Speaker 5: in the end he does take the stage as the
Speaker 5: final contestant, still wearing the ring, Max introduces the trick.
Speaker 5: Danny is going to lift a thousand pound lead weight
Speaker 5: over his head all by himself.
Speaker 1: Not a great final trick.
Speaker 5: There's nothing really magic about it, don't the guy. Couldn't
Speaker 5: you just have the guys who bring in the thing
Speaker 5: and put it down fake that it's a thousand pounds, right?
Speaker 1: How would anybody know? It's kind of a back like
Speaker 1: I could.
Speaker 5: Do that magic trick anyway. Yes, he's gonna lift it
Speaker 5: over his head all by himself. Danny looks very nervous.
Speaker 5: He reaches down and grabs the weight, but nothing, and
Speaker 5: the crowd, as they do for children all the time, booze.
Speaker 1: So he tries again.
Speaker 5: It's harsh, seriously, the crowd is now laughing and hackling
Speaker 5: him As he tries the second time, it doesn't work.
Speaker 5: With one last try, Danny finally lifts the weight and
Speaker 5: the audience erupts an applause. He gets it over his
Speaker 5: head and is very proud, but then he lets go
Speaker 5: and the weight just floats above him. Danny bows and
Speaker 5: the weight rises higher and higher, confusing Danny completely.
Speaker 1: Max appears in control.
Speaker 5: Eventually, Max points to the weight, and it comes crashing
Speaker 5: down on the stage, just missing Danny, who jumped out
Speaker 5: of the way. Danny tries to pull off the ring
Speaker 5: to no avail, and Max tells the audience that Danny
Speaker 5: deserves another chance with that. The cabinet Allison was hiding
Speaker 5: in his wheeled down too the stage, and his stagehand
Speaker 5: motions that Allison should get back into it. So devilish
Speaker 5: Max pulls a sword from the box and stabs into
Speaker 5: the cabinet, almost slicing Allison in half. The finalists and
Speaker 5: the crowd a getting a little uncomfortable with this, so
Speaker 5: was I. He stabs the cabinet again and Allison screams.
Speaker 5: Danny runs to open the door, but she's no longer
Speaker 5: in it. Max says it's time for Danny to focus
Speaker 5: on the trick, but Danny reopens the cabinet and Alison's there.
Speaker 5: She's back inside. The audience loves it, not sensing this
Speaker 5: whole thing is involving their impending deaths. Danny and Alison
Speaker 5: bow and she simultaneously removes the ring from his finger.
Speaker 5: Danny announces his final trick, which he will do with
Speaker 5: his mentor Max.
Speaker 1: It's becoming a chicken game between the two magicians.
Speaker 5: In turn, Max dangerously flings Danny up into the air,
Speaker 5: and even the audience knows something is up. Danny starts
Speaker 5: spinning around out of control, and Alison yells out for
Speaker 5: the ring. It's the final piece of the puzzle. So
Speaker 5: while rotating follow me here, people gets a little strange,
Speaker 5: Danny grabs the ring from his pocket and nose dives
Speaker 5: towards Max. So I guess Max wasn't holding him up anymore.
Speaker 5: His power broke through, throwing the ring on the host's
Speaker 5: finger at the last second, right before he crashes, causing
Speaker 5: an explosion. The audience, including Danny's parents, gasp, what the
Speaker 5: hell just happened. When the smoke clears, Danny appears and
Speaker 5: bows to a standing ovation. Alison joins them and they
Speaker 5: do a curtain call together and he kisses her hand.
Speaker 5: We're back in the present day with Alison as a narrator.
Speaker 5: She tells us that it is the most incredible experience
Speaker 5: anyone could have imagined. Paul must have taken the ring
Speaker 5: off Max, because every single show tape had mysteriously disappeared,
Speaker 5: but then someone made them magically reappear in her room,
Speaker 5: and once Danny realized that Max was still out there.
Speaker 5: He went into hiding to perfect his powers for when
Speaker 5: they meet again. He's getting stronger every day. She says
Speaker 5: she's not even allowed to know where Danny's hiding. But
Speaker 5: then in the background, we see a bullet popcorn floating
Speaker 5: in the air. Alison grabs it and Mitch she might
Speaker 5: know where he is, And just like that, we get
Speaker 5: another acid trip transition and Allison is cuddling with Danny
Speaker 5: on a park bench. And now they're they're dating, They're together,
Speaker 5: are they married? Who knows, but I do know. That
Speaker 5: is the end of our movie.
Speaker 1: It was a journey. It was a journey I was
Speaker 1: happy to be on. Can we do some real reviews, Sabrina,
Speaker 1: of course. I think this week I have the one
Speaker 1: star review. Mm hmmm uh. And it is by somebody name.
Speaker 5: I think it's Zorax e six three seven five or
Speaker 5: it's Zoraxy, I don't know.
Speaker 1: And here's the review. I'm sorry, but this movie is horrible.
Speaker 5: I'm a magician, so I was really excited about this movie,
Speaker 5: but it was so not entertaining. Just thinking about that
Speaker 5: last in quotes trick that wasn't a trick.
Speaker 1: At all.
Speaker 5: If a real magician tried that in a show, at best,
Speaker 5: he'd get a little applause, maybe even booed horrible. Wow,
Speaker 5: that is uh, that's a that's one from one magician
Speaker 5: to another. That was a pretty harsh review there, Sabrina,
Speaker 5: I know what do you got?
Speaker 4: I would think though, if you were somebody who was
Speaker 4: really into.
Speaker 1: Magic, this wouldn't be your favorite movie.
Speaker 4: It wouldn't be your favorite.
Speaker 1: This wouldn't be your favorite movie.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have represented your micro world very well.
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree with that one hundred percent.
Speaker 4: Is itamed again?
Speaker 1: Yea again?
Speaker 4: This is our five star from named Good. Here to
Speaker 4: say Johnny Bakar is.
Speaker 5: Hot with one two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
Speaker 5: ten eleven twelve teas.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's hot.
Speaker 6: He was cute in this movie.
Speaker 4: He was giving you a little a little bit of.
Speaker 3: What is it?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 6: He was that.
Speaker 1: Mysterious Yeah hair, the magic's.
Speaker 4: Hair looked like a good charlotte.
Speaker 1: Ish demo magician a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I felt okaycause you know it was working for you.
Speaker 4: It worked great. I felt for this movie. He was
Speaker 4: such a cute and really great call. He was just
Speaker 4: cast very well for this?
Speaker 5: Did we did we find a teen heartthrop for you?
Speaker 5: Would he have been on your O for this?
Speaker 6: He was cast perfect?
Speaker 1: Okay, we're going I agree, but we're gonna find it.
Speaker 5: Oh, we're now coming to serena'savorite part of the program,
Speaker 5: as we always do, our feature game from UH producer Jensen.
Speaker 1: This one is called Tragic Magic.
Speaker 5: Much like Antonio Demilo in the movie, magicians sometimes die
Speaker 5: under mysterious conditions.
Speaker 1: We will get the name of a magician and a
Speaker 1: list of possible reasons for their death.
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, yikes.
Speaker 1: We have to guess which is correct. Three out of
Speaker 1: five win.
Speaker 6: This made up? There's no way I just I'm guessing.
Speaker 5: Knowing producer Jensen, he loved deep diving the tragic deaths
Speaker 5: of magicians.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is one of my hobbies.
Speaker 1: That's what I figured, all right.
Speaker 5: So our first one is a magician named Chung Ling Sue.
Speaker 5: Did he a die after accidentally being cut in half
Speaker 5: during a trick gone wrong? Geez be accidentally drowned in
Speaker 5: a locked to aquarium during a trick gone wrong? See
Speaker 5: get shot and killed from a gun malfunctioning during a
Speaker 5: trick gone wrong?
Speaker 1: Or d die of lupus.
Speaker 4: Uh, I'm gonna go with B.
Speaker 1: You know it's funny.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna see I was gonna go with B two,
Speaker 5: but now I know it's gonna be wrong because you
Speaker 5: picked it.
Speaker 6: It's so fair.
Speaker 5: I'm oh, but I think it's gotta be right because
Speaker 5: it seems like the one that would happen.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with B. I'm gonna go with B.
Speaker 2: With with terrible strategy, it's cr original strategy.
Speaker 5: Don't ever pick with Sabrina, What are you thinking?
Speaker 1: Okay? Number two?
Speaker 5: I'm a magician named Charles Rowan aka Car the Mysterious.
Speaker 5: Did he a die after being run over by a
Speaker 5: car during a trick gone wrong? B fall in a
Speaker 5: bed of spikes during a trick gone wrong? See catch
Speaker 5: the plague from a volunteer during a trick gone wrong?
Speaker 5: Or D die of meingitis. I'm picking first this time.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say B falling a bet of spikes during
Speaker 1: a trick gone wrong. I'm going with Oh, well, now
Speaker 1: I won't be right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but that is obviously what I thought.
Speaker 3: You're right about that part. It's a run over by
Speaker 3: a car.
Speaker 4: Run over I thought that was too obvious with his
Speaker 4: name is car the mysterious Yea, a car would be involved.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you name yourself and sometimes it becomes true.
Speaker 4: Yikes.
Speaker 1: So we got to get all three right to win.
Speaker 1: Our next magician Joseph Burris.
Speaker 5: Did he A get stabbed by a former assistant who
Speaker 5: was injured during a trick gone wrong? B get crushed
Speaker 5: by concrete during a trick gone wrong? Ce die from
Speaker 5: complications after eating thirty five rocks during a trick gone wrong?

Speaker 1: a little bit?
Speaker 5: Can we do a little Sabrina Seas which is a
Speaker 5: lot happier than how these random people died?
Speaker 4: Yes, And you know, one of the things, I think
Speaker 4: it just has to be said because there's so many
Speaker 4: moments where he gave it but Max looked like a
Speaker 4: Sean Connery like Dube Let's do magic. Yes, And it
Speaker 4: was regardless. I mean, he is an incredible actor in
Speaker 4: his own but I ask every time he was on screen,
Speaker 4: he captivated me. I just he was I don't care
Speaker 4: what what ridiculous. Even with the next one, which is
Speaker 4: my The Night's Fighting, how awful that book. It was
Speaker 4: so bad, but it didn't matter because he just holds
Speaker 4: it and like anytime they shot to him, it was
Speaker 4: like fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're good, You're good.
Speaker 4: But it was I do have to say that part
Speaker 4: was so weird because you know, with it being the
Speaker 4: Disney Channel. You're not expecting it to be these great
Speaker 4: like you know, yeah, the effects.
Speaker 1: Are not.
Speaker 4: Effects, but I am now you have just pulled me
Speaker 4: into this. You need to have some kind of rules here,
Speaker 4: because now I'm needing like what how were they working
Speaker 4: the nights? Like you could sort of see over the
Speaker 4: camera a little bit that they were like flicking their
Speaker 4: fingers back and forth.
Speaker 5: It was like Danny's like fighting and it was Yeah,
Speaker 5: it just was.
Speaker 4: It was the visual effects didn't need to be better.
Speaker 4: They just needed to give the actors something better to
Speaker 4: do to control those nights. That was like just a
Speaker 4: little whatever. I skipped over snake Puzzle. I'm in, let's go.
Speaker 6: I'm ready to go.
Speaker 1: I love snake Puzzle. Get snake Puzzle.
Speaker 4: The Paul character bothered me a lot, and we mentioned
Speaker 4: it just a tiny bit. Was he the one there was?
Speaker 4: We never really talked about it while we went over
Speaker 4: through the movie, but there was a point where they
Speaker 4: do one of those like you know, creeper in the
Speaker 4: back of the theater.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm willing to step in here. I'm willing to
Speaker 2: step in here, so I tell exactly the scene you're
Speaker 2: talking about.
Speaker 3: I left it.
Speaker 2: I basically thought, I think that that's the rival Magician,
Speaker 2: but it shot so poorly that you can't see I know,
Speaker 2: I think it's the rival magician. I think it's it's
Speaker 2: a hunt. It's basically Hunter's magician. Oh, it's Brandon Brandon,
Speaker 2: but he.
Speaker 4: Was but that the person that was on screen looked
Speaker 4: like blonde. Like there was a point where when they
Speaker 4: showed on the previous mentor for Max and him being blonde,
Speaker 4: I was like, wait, is there a goat? Are we
Speaker 4: introducing ghosts?
Speaker 3: I know it shot so poorly. It's so funny.
Speaker 2: You remember that scene because it's I like thought about
Speaker 2: it and was like, do I even mark this? But
Speaker 2: I didn't mark it because it doesn't come back to play,
Speaker 2: by the way.
Speaker 4: That's what I mean, Like you Nell.
Speaker 3: When they're looking for the trap door.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeh yes, and towards the back of the theater,
Speaker 4: up high, there's someone who's like snooping on them and.
Speaker 3: I don't know why, but I I by the end of.
Speaker 4: It, it was like my questions were I thought, possibly, yeah,
Speaker 4: it was Hunter's Magician.
Speaker 2: Could have been Danny, But again, the shot is so
Speaker 2: poor you cannot see who it is you can't see.
Speaker 3: No, I don't know.
Speaker 4: It was it was younger and that wasn't as big
Speaker 4: of a character like the built he was to be back.
Speaker 4: But then it was like when I saw the picture
Speaker 4: of the previous mentor and he had like blonde hair,
Speaker 4: I'm like, wait, do we have a ghost Demila was
Speaker 4: coming back as I don't know whatever, and then I
Speaker 4: thought and then I ended up going, oh, it must
Speaker 4: have been Paul, because then Paul started remember just randomly
Speaker 4: towards the end, popping up like he just kind of whatever.
Speaker 4: And then Paul also had There was a moment too
Speaker 4: when Alison is going to see if he's in his
Speaker 4: room after the chamber he just saw her Max's plan
Speaker 4: saw Paul runs to the chamber to see where or
Speaker 4: it runs to his bedroom to wake him up. And
Speaker 4: then Paul comes up and this is after the shot
Speaker 4: before there's like multiple people walking around the hallway and
Speaker 4: he's like, hey, it's what are you doing up?
Speaker 6: And I'm like, there's people.
Speaker 4: Up like every everyone's around outside.
Speaker 6: So yeah, Paul.
Speaker 4: Kind of that whole part had me a little confused,
Speaker 4: and I didn't really love that the special delivery.
Speaker 6: With Hunter and her didn't. I didn't think it was her.
Speaker 4: I thought this was gonna be some kind of trap
Speaker 4: Max was putting into his that's that was like gonna
Speaker 4: be the demise of him.
Speaker 6: So when it ended up being her, I did think, oh,
Speaker 6: what look.
Speaker 1: That was good. I good twist, good twist.
Speaker 6: Yes, yep, there we go. And that was it.
Speaker 4: And then the last part was there was a shot
Speaker 4: that was what takes the movie to go into being
Speaker 4: that not the best Disney movies, and it was her
Speaker 4: watching the show in the back corner with her head
Speaker 4: in between the blue velvet curtains, like she's just sitting
Speaker 4: there like like no one can see my head with
Speaker 4: my blonde, curly hair, just just poking through. Watching that
Speaker 4: was like, couldn't she.
Speaker 3: That?
Speaker 4: There was certain things with this movie that pulled you back.
Speaker 4: Very Disney didn't allow it to be what Disney usually does,
Speaker 4: which is a great movie that kids also like, you know,
Speaker 4: the whole family can can I agree?
Speaker 1: I agree?
Speaker 6: What was it?
Speaker 5: Thank you for Sabrina Cees. Now, of course we're gonna
Speaker 5: rad our film. Let's do one out of ten.
Speaker 1: It's worked for us in the past. I think it'll
Speaker 1: work for us in the future. But this time we're
Speaker 1: gonna do one is the worst and ten is the best.
Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 6: I think we're doing that every time.
Speaker 1: What No, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 5: Our options this week are one out of ten, Bad
Speaker 5: Kid TV Producers one out of ten, Trunk Doves, overachieving,
Speaker 5: noad all duebos one out of ten, David Blaine card
Speaker 5: tricks on Daniel Fishle one out of ten, unexplained trolley's
Speaker 5: surprised Latin Skills, Scandinavian Magicians one out of ten, Acid
Speaker 5: trip transitions or one out of ten magician.
Speaker 1: Now you go ahead, what would you like to pick? There?
Speaker 4: Sabrina, I think that I can't get past that Daniel
Speaker 4: Fischal story.
Speaker 6: That would freak me out.
Speaker 4: It will probably be in my dreams a few times
Speaker 4: in the next week until I get to have a conversation.
Speaker 4: Make sure she's okay. There, We're gonna have to go
Speaker 4: David Blaine card trick.
Speaker 1: Do you got it? The longest one, the longest necessary?
Speaker 1: I think I go first this week? Do I not? Yes?
Speaker 4: You do?
Speaker 1: Okay? This was a movie. That's my review. This was
Speaker 1: a movie.
Speaker 5: It wasn't great, it wasn't awful. Again, the acting was fine,
Speaker 5: The story didn't make.
Speaker 1: A whole lot of sense.
Speaker 5: The magic didn't really make a whole lot of sense.
Speaker 5: It was a great concept that was not executed particularly
Speaker 5: well at times. You know, the idea of a reality show,
Speaker 5: a wizard doing a reality show to find another wizard.
Speaker 1: It's a great Disney concept.
Speaker 5: It's a great idea bringing in the reality show concept
Speaker 5: during the early two thousands.
Speaker 1: Great idea. It just wasn't hugely executed.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 5: That being said, it also wasn't awful by any stretch
Speaker 5: of the imagination. That's why I think I'm being fair
Speaker 5: when I give this six David Blaine card tricks on
Speaker 5: Danielle Fisher.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what what do you think?
Speaker 4: There's rina I'm gonna match your six six David Blank
Speaker 4: card tricks on daniel Fishel For me as well, I
Speaker 4: I thought the same again, I thought that you know
Speaker 4: what I honestly wish that they dove into a little
Speaker 4: bit was the chemistry between these two actors, and they
Speaker 4: were so cute and adorable together, both of them great
Speaker 4: actors on their own stand that I think that would
Speaker 4: have brought a little bit more, especially for me with
Speaker 4: being a rom com lover and then you add in
Speaker 4: just a little bit of magic. I would have been sold.
Speaker 1: So much that.
Speaker 4: It's a shame it did it, because I really think
Speaker 4: that it would have added a lot to the movie.
Speaker 4: I did think several of the tricks here with the
Speaker 4: special effects were pretty good, you know, done well. You know,
Speaker 4: the the night one was was not great. But again
Speaker 4: they could have done, like you said, the execution of
Speaker 4: giving the actors something a little bit more specific to
Speaker 4: do probably would have made that not because again I
Speaker 4: don't think you watched Disney movies for these great special effects.
Speaker 1: No, of course not. And you know what you're getting
Speaker 1: into exactly.
Speaker 4: And so I just think there was times where there
Speaker 4: was missus and it kind of didn't really matter one
Speaker 4: way or the other. And like I said, it took
Speaker 4: me a little bit longer to watch. I didn't get
Speaker 4: I didn't this wasn't a movie I watched from the
Speaker 4: start to the end. I didn't watch it straight through
Speaker 4: because of that. But there were good parts, like I said,
Speaker 4: and we had the some of it was very creative,
Speaker 4: and I loved getting that puzzle piece her being such
Speaker 4: a puzzle person.
Speaker 1: They could have done more with that stuff.
Speaker 4: Yes, and oh the last bit was there was just
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna dock it down just a little bit.
Speaker 4: I would have probably gone at six point five, but
Speaker 4: there were just too many damn trolleys. They were everywhere
Speaker 4: in this movie. If they weren't on screen, you heard
Speaker 4: them in the background. Anytime they were on outside, those
Speaker 4: trolleys were passing by.
Speaker 1: Charley's Well's Hogwarts. That's what I'm saying. It's Hogwarts. Would
Speaker 1: you like anything from the Troneyda? So thank you so
Speaker 1: much for joining us our next movie.

Speaker 5: of opened up for you?
Speaker 3: You're opened it up.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was a fan of it, but I didn't
Speaker 7: study it or try to learn magic. You know, maybe
Speaker 7: the simple card trick here and there that you see
Speaker 7: your friends doing. But no, I was always fascinated. But
Speaker 7: I'm still fast sated by it. And when they hired
Speaker 7: this magician, the teacher, he took me out like the
Speaker 7: Magic Castle. It was really cool places and I was
Speaker 7: just floored.
Speaker 1: He was so much fun to talk to you. It
