<v Speaker 2>Enough about that, let's get too today's super Live A

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Lewis story.

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:42.520
<v Speaker 1>The Magic Castle. The story you were about to enjoy

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>was inspired by Rose. Thank you so much for your

0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:51.600
<v Speaker 1>amazing idea. Abrah could Debrah called out Levia as he

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 1>waved around a magic wand in his playroom, I said,

0:00:55.080 --> 0:01:00.080
<v Speaker 1>Abra coud Debrah. Levi I sounded very frustrated as he

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>stood in front of his magic for a beginner's book.

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.400
<v Speaker 1>He kept waving his wand around and around, but nothing happened.

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Levi had recently become very interested in magic after watching

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>a magician at a carnival the week before his name

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>was Magnificent Marvin. He made a rabbit appear in his

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>top hat, made a glass of milk disappear into thin air,

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 1>and made Levi's dad's watch magically leave his wrist and

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:25.839
<v Speaker 1>end up on a sealed box of popcorn. Magnificent Marvin

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>made it look so easy, said Levi in a huff

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 1>as he plopped down on the couch in front of

0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Ivy and their friends Rose, Hannah, and Joey. I just

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:37.600
<v Speaker 1>don't understand why I can't do it. Well, maybe it

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 1>has something to do with the years and years and

0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>years of practice that Magnificent Marvin had, said Rose. I

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 1>mean he looks older than my grandma. Yeah, Levi added Hannah.

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Don't get down on yourself. You just need some more

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>practice and maybe some help from this, said Joey as

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.560
<v Speaker 1>he took out a box from his backpack. Levi, Ivy, Rose,

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>and Hannah all gathered around as Joey placed the box

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>on the table. I bought it at the carnival after

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Magnificent Marvin show, said Joey. He was selling them out

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:09.880
<v Speaker 1>of an old trunk that looked like it was a

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:13.079
<v Speaker 1>million years old. He said it was his last one.

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 1>So cool, said Levi, taking off the box stop that

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 1>read Magnificent Marvin's Magic Quest. How do we play? Joey

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 1>explained that Magnificent Marvin told him the game was all

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 1>about helping the main character find some special magic stuff,

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 1>and there was a wizard or something. It was clear

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>that Joey hadn't really been paying attention, so the rest

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>of the group knew they'd have to learn as they went.

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Levi was very interested. He listened closely as Hannah read

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.959
<v Speaker 1>the instructions. I love it, exclaimed Levi, who wants to play?

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Levi's sister and all of their friends could see how

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>excited he was, so they all agreed to join Magnificent

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Marvin's Magic Quest. Just one game, Levi, then we can

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:57.079
<v Speaker 1>have ice cream, said Ivy. Sure, whatever you say, answered

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Levi as he sat up the game board and gave

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.800
<v Speaker 1>everyone a metal game piece. He took out the dice

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>and sat down a pile of cards in the middle

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 1>of the game board marked Magic Quest. They were all

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>set to begin. Levi went first. After moving his game

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.119
<v Speaker 1>to the's four spass. He picked up a Magic Quest

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:15.919
<v Speaker 1>card and read Abracadabra only gets you so far. Picking

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 1>this card can make things quite bizarre. I see great

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>things in you, like me as a child, a magical

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>spark that is special and wild. I need your help,

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and your friends can come too. If you're a magician,

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:31.519
<v Speaker 1>this will prove that it's true. After reading the card aloud,

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>leve I had looked at Ivy, Rose, Hannah and Joey.

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 1>They all looked confused and surprised by what he had read.

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>What do you think that means, he asked everyone sitting

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>in the playroom. It sounds like that card was written

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 1>specifically for you, said Ivy. Yeah, it sounds like Magnificent

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Marvin is talking directly to you, added Rose. He's saying

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>you remind him of what he was like as a child,

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 1>and now he's totally magic, said Hannah. So does that

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 1>mean you're two? I don't know, replied Levi. Wow, that's

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 1>one specific card, said Joey. But I mean it's just

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 1>a game, right. Levi started to laugh, and so did

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 1>everyone else, when all of a sudden, the playroom got dark.

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Obviously very surprised by this, they all backed away from

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the table and watched as a bright light began to

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.920
<v Speaker 1>shine from the center of the game board. It formed

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.159
<v Speaker 1>a giant, glowing portal above the board, and before they

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 1>knew it, a strong wind began to swirl around them,

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 1>and they were pulled into the portal one by one.

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Then as quickly as it appeared, the glowing portal was

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>gone and the playroom was empty. It felt like no

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.520
<v Speaker 1>time had passed it all when Levi, Ivy, Rose, Hannah,

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 1>and Joey all opened their eyes to find that they

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 1>were sitting in the middle of a forest, a forest

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>unlike anything they had ever seen. Where are we, asked

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Levi as he stumbled to his feet. How should we

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 1>know you're the magician in training? You tell us? Answered Rose.

0:04:57.800 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>The group looked around, trying to make sense of where

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 1>they were, until they heard a loud, booming voice echo

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:05.160
<v Speaker 1>through the forest. They all uncovered their ears and crowded together,

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>waiting to see who or what was making such a ruckus.

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>They hid behind a fallen tree and waited. In a

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:13.720
<v Speaker 1>matter of seconds, a puff of blue smoke filled the

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.280
<v Speaker 1>forest around them, and out of that smoke stepped a

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>man and that looked very familiar. Hey, guys, who do

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 1>you think stepped out from that smoke?

0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Huh?

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Is that? Ivy began to say, I think it is,

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 1>replied Hannah, knowing exactly what Ivy was going to say.

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Magnificent Marvin called out the group as the man walked

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.920
<v Speaker 1>toward them, swinging a giant black cape behind him. Who welcome,

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>my friends. I knew you would make it here, eventually,

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:46.600
<v Speaker 1>said Magnificent Marvin. I need your help. The kids all

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:48.920
<v Speaker 1>said hello, but quickly turned their attention to some very

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 1>important questions like where are we, why are we here?

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.720
<v Speaker 1>What do you need help with? Can I get to

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>get to your next magic show? Joey called out, LEVI

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 1>is that it's really important right now? I mean we

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.960
<v Speaker 1>just teleported to a magic force through a light portal

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 1>in my playroom, and you're asking about a magic show tickets. Well,

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 1>he puts on a really good show, said Joey. We

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.679
<v Speaker 1>can talk about all of that after, said Magnificent Marvin,

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>trying to refocus the kids. But right now I need

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:21.120
<v Speaker 1>your help. A wily wizard who loves playing games got

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>a hold of my five most powerful magic stones. They

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:25.920
<v Speaker 1>can't fall into the wrong hands, and I need them

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>back before my next show. And if you don't get

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 1>them back, asked Ivy, then I won't be Magnificent Marvin anymore,

0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll just be Marvin, said the sad looking magician. That's

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.720
<v Speaker 1>why I need your help. Those five stones possess all

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 1>my magical powers, and being a magician is all I've

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>ever wanted to be. I devoted my whole life to it.

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Bringing magic into people's lives is the greatest gift I

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.159
<v Speaker 1>can think of, and I don't want it to stop.

0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Will you please help me? Of course we will, said Levi,

0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>answering for the group. But why can't you just get

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.680
<v Speaker 1>the stone back yourself using magic. The longer the stones

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.479
<v Speaker 1>are away from me, the weaker my magic gets, until

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 1>finally it will be gone forever. Magnificent Marvin began. I've

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>already looked for the stones for a little while, and

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 1>I need more people on my team to spread out

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully find them fast. I use some of my

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 1>last bits of magic to get you here, and I

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>think I have just enough left to get us all

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 1>to the Wizard's magic Castle, where he's hid in my stones. Levi, Ivy, Rose, Hannah,

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 1>and Joey didn't need to hear one more thing. They

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 1>all agreed to help Magnificent Marvin on this spot. The

0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>magician couldn't have been happier and whipped up one last

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 1>big teleportation spell to get them all to the Wizard's

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 1>castle and start the hunt for his five magic stones.

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 1>As soon as they arrived, Magnificent Marvin told each of

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 1>the kids to go to a specific section of the castle.

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 1>He told them what his stones looked like and wish

0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 1>them all well. Then ready for the coolest game of

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.240
<v Speaker 1>hide and seek ever. They each headed off, leaving Magnificent

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Marvin waiting by the castle gates. He was tired and

0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 1>running very low on magic. We've got this, Magnificent Marvin,

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.840
<v Speaker 1>called out Levi, and as the magician in training, I'll

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 1>do all I can to help you out. Thank you,

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Levi and everyone else. Good luck and how fun, called

0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 1>out the tired magician as the kids scattered in different

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:19.320
<v Speaker 1>directions and disappeared into the castle. Remember the Wizard loves

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 1>to play games, so be ready for anything. And when

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.120
<v Speaker 1>you found my stones, run back here as quick as

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 1>you can. Joey was the first to reach his section

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 1>of the castle, the library. He began looking through bookshelf

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 1>after bookshelf, which seemed like an endless task. That's when

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 1>he looked around and saw that as he looked through

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 1>one bookshelf, another bookshelf would pop up behind him. He

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.200
<v Speaker 1>could hear laughing coming from behind the piles and piles

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.439
<v Speaker 1>of books, and knew the wizard was close by. It's

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 1>a never end library, said Joey to himself. How am

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I ever going to look through all these shelves and books?

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Joey thought for a moment and realized one thing he

0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 1>had on his side was how speedy he was. He

0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:59.319
<v Speaker 1>was the fastest kid in his class, and decided to

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.680
<v Speaker 1>use that to advantage. He began running around the library

0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 1>as fast as he could, and since this was a

0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.719
<v Speaker 1>magic castle, he quickly found himself running faster than he

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.679
<v Speaker 1>ever had before. The wizard couldn't keep up with him,

0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:12.439
<v Speaker 1>and before he knew it, Joey was looking through the

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:16.160
<v Speaker 1>final bookshelf, where he found the first Magnificent Marvin's magic stones.

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 1>He grabbed it and ran back to the castle gates,

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.800
<v Speaker 1>handing the first stone to a very happy Magnificent Marvin.

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 1>While this was going on, Hannah was in the castle's

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>portrait room looking around the room very closely at all

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.959
<v Speaker 1>the portraits, and since this was a magic castle, the

0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 1>portraits were anything but normal. As Hannah looked around, she

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 1>heard whispers in the room, but no one was there.

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 1>That's when she whipped around quickly and heard the whispers

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 1>coming from a most unlikely spot, one of the portraits.

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.840
<v Speaker 1>The person in the portrait was talking. All the portraits

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 1>were talking. They tried to distract her with riddles and rhymes,

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 1>but Hannah stayed focus. However, as she searched behind all

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.719
<v Speaker 1>of the portraits, thinking that that could be a good

0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 1>place for a magic stone to be hidden, she noticed

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.320
<v Speaker 1>something was happening. The walls seemed to be growing higher

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 1>and higher all around her, and more and more portraits

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 1>began to appear in the room, filling the walls. Thankfully

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:10.959
<v Speaker 1>for Hannah, she could jump really high, and since this

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.839
<v Speaker 1>was a magic castle, she quickly found herself jumping higher

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:17.199
<v Speaker 1>than she ever had before. She jumped up, checking behind

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.599
<v Speaker 1>each portrait before she finally reached the ceiling and the

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:23.040
<v Speaker 1>last portrait, and that's where she found the next magic stone.

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 1>She grabbed it and ran back to the castle gates,

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>handing the second stone to a very happy magnificent Marvin.

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Well this was going on. Rose was in the castle's basement.

0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 1>It was dark, and dreary and covered in cobwebs. As

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.880
<v Speaker 1>she searched around, she heard scratching on the ground and

0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 1>the walls. Hello, Rose called out, hello, She heard bath.

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Lucky for Rose and for Magnificent Marvin. She had a

0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:50.840
<v Speaker 1>great connection with animals, from spiders to mice, from lizards

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 1>to cats. It was as if she could understand them

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.199
<v Speaker 1>and they could understand her. And since this was a

0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.120
<v Speaker 1>magic castle, she quickly found herself actually talking to all

0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:02.840
<v Speaker 1>the little creators that called the castle basements home. The mice, spiders,

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 1>and lizards ran to her, and as you could imagine,

0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.040
<v Speaker 1>they didn't get many visitors in the basement, and they

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 1>liked her immediately. They wanted to help her, but didn't

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 1>know where the magic stone was. However, they all knew

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 1>one animal that would, the Wizard's cat. Once the Wizard's

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 1>cat was woken up from her afternoon nap, she walked

0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.040
<v Speaker 1>over to meet Rose. They said they're hellos before Rose

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 1>begged the cat to help Magnificent Marvin and tell her

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 1>where his magic stone was hiding. Well, normally I would

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:31.800
<v Speaker 1>remain loyal to the wizard, but yesterday he forgot to

0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.480
<v Speaker 1>give me my mid morning snack so lucky for you.

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:36.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm a little mad at him right now, said the

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.679
<v Speaker 1>Wizard's cat with a big stretch, before leading Rose to

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.240
<v Speaker 1>a loose brick in the basement wall. She pulled the

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 1>brick out of the wall, and there was the magic stone.

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much, called out Rose, before grabbing the

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.600
<v Speaker 1>stone and running back to the castle gates. Once there,

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 1>she handed the third stone to a very happy, magnificent Marvin.

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:56.160
<v Speaker 1>While this was going on, Ivy was stumbling completely by accident,

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.960
<v Speaker 1>into a secret room by the castle's kitchen. She had

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.080
<v Speaker 1>been wandering around the castle when she decided to stop

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.199
<v Speaker 1>for a moment to rest. She leaned up against a

0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 1>wall in a long hallway and just by chance, pressed

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 1>on a secret button hidden behind the wallpaper. A secret

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.120
<v Speaker 1>door opened up before her. As she walked into the room,

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 1>and there, sitting there on a small table covered with

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:19.000
<v Speaker 1>a blue tablecloth, was the magic stone. Ivy approached it carefully,

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 1>waiting for the wizard to play some kind of prank

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 1>on her. It couldn't be this easy, could it, thought

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Ivy as she looked at the magic stone. Well, it

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.319
<v Speaker 1>was that easy, because just finding the room was the

0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.040
<v Speaker 1>hard part. Ivy then grabbed the stone and ran back

0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.600
<v Speaker 1>to the castle gates. Once there, she handed the fourth

0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 1>stone to a very happy Magnificent Marvin. Just one more,

0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 1>exclaimed Magnificent Marvin, thank you all so much. I can

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.840
<v Speaker 1>feel my magic returning. It's all up to Levi now,

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 1>and I know he can do it. He's got something special,

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.599
<v Speaker 1>something all magicians have. He just needs to realize it.

0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Magnificent Marvin, Ivy, Rose, Hannah, and Joey all waited the

0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 1>castle gates, just hoping everything was going well for Levi

0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.720
<v Speaker 1>and hoping they'd see him soon running toward them holding

0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 1>that last magic stone. While this was going on, Levi

0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 1>was making his way around the spell room. He knew

0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:10.240
<v Speaker 1>it was getting laid and he wanted to get back

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.880
<v Speaker 1>to Magnificent Marvin as soon as possible. He tried to

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:14.839
<v Speaker 1>focus in and think like a wizard for a minute.

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Where would I hide a magic stone if I were

0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 1>a wizard that loved to play games, thought Levi's. He

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 1>looked on the shelves, in jars and behind tables. He

0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 1>then sat down to look at things from a different angle.

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 1>That's when he saw it. A giant book, bigger than

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.040
<v Speaker 1>all the rest, on a desk covered bookshelf. It was

0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:37.079
<v Speaker 1>the Wizard's spell book. That's it, said, Levi. The magic

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 1>stone is in the book. He started flying through the pages,

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.199
<v Speaker 1>but didn't see a stone. Instead, he saw a page

0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.439
<v Speaker 1>that caught his eye. Written on the top were the

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 1>words hidden magic Stone riddle. He knew the wizard must

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.319
<v Speaker 1>be somewhere laughing at him right now, eagerly waiting for

0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 1>him to play his little game. Levi knew he didn't

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 1>have time to waste and read the riddle. Abra cadabra

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.280
<v Speaker 1>only gets you so far. I know this whole game

0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 1>is quite strange and bizarre. If you search with eyes

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.679
<v Speaker 1>and also your heart, you'll see what you're seeking is

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.640
<v Speaker 1>right at the start. Sometimes what you seek is right

0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.120
<v Speaker 1>there on a shelf, But to find it you first

0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:15.719
<v Speaker 1>must be leave in yourself. Leevi I knew exactly what

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the riddle was telling him. He so badly wanted to

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 1>be a magician that he wasn't being patient. He didn't

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>realize how much hard work it took to achieve this dream,

0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.760
<v Speaker 1>and expected to be just like magnificent Marvin as soon

0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.560
<v Speaker 1>as he started. At that moment, he realized he had

0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.000
<v Speaker 1>to start at the beginning. Levi needed to put in

0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 1>the work, learn through successes and failures, and soon enough

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 1>he would get better and better at magic the beginning,

0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Levi thought, as he looked at the bookshelf. That's it.

0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.520
<v Speaker 1>He reached out and grab a book that looked very familiar.

0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.320
<v Speaker 1>It was titled Magic four Beginners. He wasn't ready for

0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 1>a magic spell book just yet. He had lots to learn,

0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:53.080
<v Speaker 1>and finally knew that when he opened up to the

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.120
<v Speaker 1>first page, he saw a picture of the wizard, and

0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.560
<v Speaker 1>since this was a magic castle, the pictures began to talk.

0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Congratulate Levi. Thank you for playing my game with your

0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.960
<v Speaker 1>sister and all your friends. You did a wonderful job,

0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:10.240
<v Speaker 1>said the wizard. Magnificent Marvin is waiting for his final stone,

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 1>and here it is, Levi. I reached out and took

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 1>the stone from their wizard. Thank you, said Levi. I

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.240
<v Speaker 1>can't wait to see the great magician you become, said

0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.280
<v Speaker 1>the wizard. Magnificent Marvin will teach you well, I'm sure

0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 1>of it. Farewell Levi. Then the picture of the wizard

0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.200
<v Speaker 1>turned back into just an image of the book. Levi's

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 1>smile placed the book back on the bookshelf. And ran

0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.720
<v Speaker 1>back to the Castle gates. Once there, he was met

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 1>with applause and cheers as he handed the fifth stone

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:39.600
<v Speaker 1>to a very happy Magnificent Marvin. You did it, Levi said,

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Magnificent Marvin, thank you, thank you, thank you. Now let's

0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 1>head home with his full magic back, Magnificent Marvin created

0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:51.760
<v Speaker 1>another portal in front of the castle gates that returned Levi, Ivy, Rose, Hannah,

0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 1>and Joey back to the playroom. When they arrived. Once

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.680
<v Speaker 1>the swirling smoke cleared, they sat there unable to speak.

0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Their magic quest had left them speechless. As they finally

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.160
<v Speaker 1>began to speak to each other, Joey called out, look

0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:08.520
<v Speaker 1>at these they were five tickets to Magnificent Marvin's next show,

0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.040
<v Speaker 1>with a note that read, I hope you'll all join me.

0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>It would be great to have some extra magic at

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.960
<v Speaker 1>my next show. The kids were all so excited and

0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 1>definitely planned to go to the show, But first leave,

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I had some practicing to do. He grabbed his magic

0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 1>for a beginner's book and opened it to page one,

0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:32.120
