Speaker 2: Enough about that, let's get too today's super Live A

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 2: Lewis story.

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: The Magic Castle. The story you were about to enjoy

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: was inspired by Rose. Thank you so much for your

15
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: amazing idea. Abrah could Debrah called out Levia as he

16
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: waved around a magic wand in his playroom, I said,

17
00:00:55,080 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: Abra coud Debrah. Levi I sounded very frustrated as he

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: stood in front of his magic for a beginner's book.

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: He kept waving his wand around and around, but nothing happened.

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: Levi had recently become very interested in magic after watching

21
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: a magician at a carnival the week before his name

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: was Magnificent Marvin. He made a rabbit appear in his

23
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: top hat, made a glass of milk disappear into thin air,

24
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: and made Levi's dad's watch magically leave his wrist and

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 1: end up on a sealed box of popcorn. Magnificent Marvin

26
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: made it look so easy, said Levi in a huff

27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: as he plopped down on the couch in front of

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: Ivy and their friends Rose, Hannah, and Joey. I just

29
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: don't understand why I can't do it. Well, maybe it

30
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: has something to do with the years and years and

31
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: years of practice that Magnificent Marvin had, said Rose. I

32
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: mean he looks older than my grandma. Yeah, Levi added Hannah.

33
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: Don't get down on yourself. You just need some more

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: practice and maybe some help from this, said Joey as

35
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: he took out a box from his backpack. Levi, Ivy, Rose,

36
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: and Hannah all gathered around as Joey placed the box

37
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: on the table. I bought it at the carnival after

38
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: Magnificent Marvin show, said Joey. He was selling them out

39
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: of an old trunk that looked like it was a

40
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: million years old. He said it was his last one.

41
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: So cool, said Levi, taking off the box stop that

42
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: read Magnificent Marvin's Magic Quest. How do we play? Joey

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: explained that Magnificent Marvin told him the game was all

44
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: about helping the main character find some special magic stuff,

45
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: and there was a wizard or something. It was clear

46
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: that Joey hadn't really been paying attention, so the rest

47
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: of the group knew they'd have to learn as they went.

48
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: Levi was very interested. He listened closely as Hannah read

49
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: the instructions. I love it, exclaimed Levi, who wants to play?

50
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: Levi's sister and all of their friends could see how

51
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: excited he was, so they all agreed to join Magnificent

52
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: Marvin's Magic Quest. Just one game, Levi, then we can

53
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: have ice cream, said Ivy. Sure, whatever you say, answered

54
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: Levi as he sat up the game board and gave

55
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: everyone a metal game piece. He took out the dice

56
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: and sat down a pile of cards in the middle

57
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: of the game board marked Magic Quest. They were all

58
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: set to begin. Levi went first. After moving his game

59
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 1: to the's four spass. He picked up a Magic Quest

60
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: card and read Abracadabra only gets you so far. Picking

61
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: this card can make things quite bizarre. I see great

62
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: things in you, like me as a child, a magical

63
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: spark that is special and wild. I need your help,

64
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: and your friends can come too. If you're a magician,

65
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: this will prove that it's true. After reading the card aloud,

66
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: leve I had looked at Ivy, Rose, Hannah and Joey.

67
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: They all looked confused and surprised by what he had read.

68
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: What do you think that means, he asked everyone sitting

69
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: in the playroom. It sounds like that card was written

70
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: specifically for you, said Ivy. Yeah, it sounds like Magnificent

71
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: Marvin is talking directly to you, added Rose. He's saying

72
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: you remind him of what he was like as a child,

73
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: and now he's totally magic, said Hannah. So does that

74
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: mean you're two? I don't know, replied Levi. Wow, that's

75
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: one specific card, said Joey. But I mean it's just

76
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: a game, right. Levi started to laugh, and so did

77
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: everyone else, when all of a sudden, the playroom got dark.

78
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: Obviously very surprised by this, they all backed away from

79
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: the table and watched as a bright light began to

80
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: shine from the center of the game board. It formed

81
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: a giant, glowing portal above the board, and before they

82
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: knew it, a strong wind began to swirl around them,

83
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: and they were pulled into the portal one by one.

84
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: Then as quickly as it appeared, the glowing portal was

85
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: gone and the playroom was empty. It felt like no

86
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: time had passed it all when Levi, Ivy, Rose, Hannah,

87
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: and Joey all opened their eyes to find that they

88
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: were sitting in the middle of a forest, a forest

89
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: unlike anything they had ever seen. Where are we, asked

90
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: Levi as he stumbled to his feet. How should we

91
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: know you're the magician in training? You tell us? Answered Rose.

92
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: The group looked around, trying to make sense of where

93
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: they were, until they heard a loud, booming voice echo

94
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: through the forest. They all uncovered their ears and crowded together,

95
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: waiting to see who or what was making such a ruckus.

96
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: They hid behind a fallen tree and waited. In a

97
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: matter of seconds, a puff of blue smoke filled the

98
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: forest around them, and out of that smoke stepped a

99
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: man and that looked very familiar. Hey, guys, who do

100
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: you think stepped out from that smoke?

101
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: Huh?

102
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: Is that? Ivy began to say, I think it is,

103
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: replied Hannah, knowing exactly what Ivy was going to say.

104
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: Magnificent Marvin called out the group as the man walked

105
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: toward them, swinging a giant black cape behind him. Who welcome,

106
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: my friends. I knew you would make it here, eventually,

107
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: said Magnificent Marvin. I need your help. The kids all

108
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: said hello, but quickly turned their attention to some very

109
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: important questions like where are we, why are we here?

110
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: What do you need help with? Can I get to

111
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: get to your next magic show? Joey called out, LEVI

112
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: is that it's really important right now? I mean we

113
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: just teleported to a magic force through a light portal

114
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: in my playroom, and you're asking about a magic show tickets. Well,

115
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: he puts on a really good show, said Joey. We

116
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,679
Speaker 1: can talk about all of that after, said Magnificent Marvin,

117
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: trying to refocus the kids. But right now I need

118
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: your help. A wily wizard who loves playing games got

119
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: a hold of my five most powerful magic stones. They

120
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: can't fall into the wrong hands, and I need them

121
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: back before my next show. And if you don't get

122
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: them back, asked Ivy, then I won't be Magnificent Marvin anymore,

123
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: I'll just be Marvin, said the sad looking magician. That's

124
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: why I need your help. Those five stones possess all

125
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: my magical powers, and being a magician is all I've

126
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: ever wanted to be. I devoted my whole life to it.

127
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: Bringing magic into people's lives is the greatest gift I

128
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: can think of, and I don't want it to stop.

129
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: Will you please help me? Of course we will, said Levi,

130
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: answering for the group. But why can't you just get

131
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: the stone back yourself using magic. The longer the stones

132
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: are away from me, the weaker my magic gets, until

133
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: finally it will be gone forever. Magnificent Marvin began. I've

134
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: already looked for the stones for a little while, and

135
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: I need more people on my team to spread out

136
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: and hopefully find them fast. I use some of my

137
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: last bits of magic to get you here, and I

138
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: think I have just enough left to get us all

139
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: to the Wizard's magic Castle, where he's hid in my stones. Levi, Ivy, Rose, Hannah,

140
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: and Joey didn't need to hear one more thing. They

141
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: all agreed to help Magnificent Marvin on this spot. The

142
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: magician couldn't have been happier and whipped up one last

143
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: big teleportation spell to get them all to the Wizard's

144
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: castle and start the hunt for his five magic stones.

145
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: As soon as they arrived, Magnificent Marvin told each of

146
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: the kids to go to a specific section of the castle.

147
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: He told them what his stones looked like and wish

148
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: them all well. Then ready for the coolest game of

149
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: hide and seek ever. They each headed off, leaving Magnificent

150
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: Marvin waiting by the castle gates. He was tired and

151
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: running very low on magic. We've got this, Magnificent Marvin,

152
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: called out Levi, and as the magician in training, I'll

153
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: do all I can to help you out. Thank you,

154
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: Levi and everyone else. Good luck and how fun, called

155
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: out the tired magician as the kids scattered in different

156
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: directions and disappeared into the castle. Remember the Wizard loves

157
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: to play games, so be ready for anything. And when

158
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: you found my stones, run back here as quick as

159
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: you can. Joey was the first to reach his section

160
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: of the castle, the library. He began looking through bookshelf

161
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: after bookshelf, which seemed like an endless task. That's when

162
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: he looked around and saw that as he looked through

163
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: one bookshelf, another bookshelf would pop up behind him. He

164
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: could hear laughing coming from behind the piles and piles

165
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: of books, and knew the wizard was close by. It's

166
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: a never end library, said Joey to himself. How am

167
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: I ever going to look through all these shelves and books?

168
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: Joey thought for a moment and realized one thing he

169
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: had on his side was how speedy he was. He

170
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: was the fastest kid in his class, and decided to

171
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: use that to advantage. He began running around the library

172
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: as fast as he could, and since this was a

173
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 1: magic castle, he quickly found himself running faster than he

174
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: ever had before. The wizard couldn't keep up with him,

175
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: and before he knew it, Joey was looking through the

176
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: final bookshelf, where he found the first Magnificent Marvin's magic stones.

177
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: He grabbed it and ran back to the castle gates,

178
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: handing the first stone to a very happy Magnificent Marvin.

179
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: While this was going on, Hannah was in the castle's

180
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: portrait room looking around the room very closely at all

181
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: the portraits, and since this was a magic castle, the

182
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: portraits were anything but normal. As Hannah looked around, she

183
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: heard whispers in the room, but no one was there.

184
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: That's when she whipped around quickly and heard the whispers

185
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: coming from a most unlikely spot, one of the portraits.

186
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: The person in the portrait was talking. All the portraits

187
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: were talking. They tried to distract her with riddles and rhymes,

188
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: but Hannah stayed focus. However, as she searched behind all

189
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: of the portraits, thinking that that could be a good

190
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: place for a magic stone to be hidden, she noticed

191
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: something was happening. The walls seemed to be growing higher

192
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: and higher all around her, and more and more portraits

193
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: began to appear in the room, filling the walls. Thankfully

194
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: for Hannah, she could jump really high, and since this

195
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: was a magic castle, she quickly found herself jumping higher

196
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: than she ever had before. She jumped up, checking behind

197
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 1: each portrait before she finally reached the ceiling and the

198
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: last portrait, and that's where she found the next magic stone.

199
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: She grabbed it and ran back to the castle gates,

200
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: handing the second stone to a very happy magnificent Marvin.

201
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: Well this was going on. Rose was in the castle's basement.

202
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: It was dark, and dreary and covered in cobwebs. As

203
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: she searched around, she heard scratching on the ground and

204
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: the walls. Hello, Rose called out, hello, She heard bath.

205
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: Lucky for Rose and for Magnificent Marvin. She had a

206
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: great connection with animals, from spiders to mice, from lizards

207
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: to cats. It was as if she could understand them

208
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: and they could understand her. And since this was a

209
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: magic castle, she quickly found herself actually talking to all

210
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: the little creators that called the castle basements home. The mice, spiders,

211
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: and lizards ran to her, and as you could imagine,

212
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: they didn't get many visitors in the basement, and they

213
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: liked her immediately. They wanted to help her, but didn't

214
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: know where the magic stone was. However, they all knew

215
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: one animal that would, the Wizard's cat. Once the Wizard's

216
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: cat was woken up from her afternoon nap, she walked

217
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: over to meet Rose. They said they're hellos before Rose

218
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: begged the cat to help Magnificent Marvin and tell her

219
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: where his magic stone was hiding. Well, normally I would

220
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: remain loyal to the wizard, but yesterday he forgot to

221
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: give me my mid morning snack so lucky for you.

222
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: I'm a little mad at him right now, said the

223
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: Wizard's cat with a big stretch, before leading Rose to

224
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: a loose brick in the basement wall. She pulled the

225
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: brick out of the wall, and there was the magic stone.

226
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, called out Rose, before grabbing the

227
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: stone and running back to the castle gates. Once there,

228
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: she handed the third stone to a very happy, magnificent Marvin.

229
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: While this was going on, Ivy was stumbling completely by accident,

230
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: into a secret room by the castle's kitchen. She had

231
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: been wandering around the castle when she decided to stop

232
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: for a moment to rest. She leaned up against a

233
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: wall in a long hallway and just by chance, pressed

234
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: on a secret button hidden behind the wallpaper. A secret

235
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: door opened up before her. As she walked into the room,

236
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: and there, sitting there on a small table covered with

237
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: a blue tablecloth, was the magic stone. Ivy approached it carefully,

238
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: waiting for the wizard to play some kind of prank

239
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: on her. It couldn't be this easy, could it, thought

240
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: Ivy as she looked at the magic stone. Well, it

241
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: was that easy, because just finding the room was the

242
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: hard part. Ivy then grabbed the stone and ran back

243
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: to the castle gates. Once there, she handed the fourth

244
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: stone to a very happy Magnificent Marvin. Just one more,

245
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: exclaimed Magnificent Marvin, thank you all so much. I can

246
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: feel my magic returning. It's all up to Levi now,

247
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: and I know he can do it. He's got something special,

248
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,599
Speaker 1: something all magicians have. He just needs to realize it.

249
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: Magnificent Marvin, Ivy, Rose, Hannah, and Joey all waited the

250
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: castle gates, just hoping everything was going well for Levi

251
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: and hoping they'd see him soon running toward them holding

252
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: that last magic stone. While this was going on, Levi

253
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: was making his way around the spell room. He knew

254
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: it was getting laid and he wanted to get back

255
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: to Magnificent Marvin as soon as possible. He tried to

256
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: focus in and think like a wizard for a minute.

257
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: Where would I hide a magic stone if I were

258
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: a wizard that loved to play games, thought Levi's. He

259
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: looked on the shelves, in jars and behind tables. He

260
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: then sat down to look at things from a different angle.

261
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: That's when he saw it. A giant book, bigger than

262
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: all the rest, on a desk covered bookshelf. It was

263
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: the Wizard's spell book. That's it, said, Levi. The magic

264
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: stone is in the book. He started flying through the pages,

265
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: but didn't see a stone. Instead, he saw a page

266
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: that caught his eye. Written on the top were the

267
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: words hidden magic Stone riddle. He knew the wizard must

268
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: be somewhere laughing at him right now, eagerly waiting for

269
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: him to play his little game. Levi knew he didn't

270
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: have time to waste and read the riddle. Abra cadabra

271
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: only gets you so far. I know this whole game

272
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: is quite strange and bizarre. If you search with eyes

273
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: and also your heart, you'll see what you're seeking is

274
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: right at the start. Sometimes what you seek is right

275
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: there on a shelf, But to find it you first

276
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 1: must be leave in yourself. Leevi I knew exactly what

277
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: the riddle was telling him. He so badly wanted to

278
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: be a magician that he wasn't being patient. He didn't

279
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: realize how much hard work it took to achieve this dream,

280
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: and expected to be just like magnificent Marvin as soon

281
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: as he started. At that moment, he realized he had

282
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: to start at the beginning. Levi needed to put in

283
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: the work, learn through successes and failures, and soon enough

284
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: he would get better and better at magic the beginning,

285
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: Levi thought, as he looked at the bookshelf. That's it.

286
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: He reached out and grab a book that looked very familiar.

287
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: It was titled Magic four Beginners. He wasn't ready for

288
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: a magic spell book just yet. He had lots to learn,

289
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: and finally knew that when he opened up to the

290
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: first page, he saw a picture of the wizard, and

291
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: since this was a magic castle, the pictures began to talk.

292
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: Congratulate Levi. Thank you for playing my game with your

293
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: sister and all your friends. You did a wonderful job,

294
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: said the wizard. Magnificent Marvin is waiting for his final stone,

295
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: and here it is, Levi. I reached out and took

296
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: the stone from their wizard. Thank you, said Levi. I

297
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: can't wait to see the great magician you become, said

298
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: the wizard. Magnificent Marvin will teach you well, I'm sure

299
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: of it. Farewell Levi. Then the picture of the wizard

300
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: turned back into just an image of the book. Levi's

301
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: smile placed the book back on the bookshelf. And ran

302
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: back to the Castle gates. Once there, he was met

303
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: with applause and cheers as he handed the fifth stone

304
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: to a very happy Magnificent Marvin. You did it, Levi said,

305
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: Magnificent Marvin, thank you, thank you, thank you. Now let's

306
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: head home with his full magic back, Magnificent Marvin created

307
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: another portal in front of the castle gates that returned Levi, Ivy, Rose, Hannah,

308
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: and Joey back to the playroom. When they arrived. Once

309
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,680
