I can't believe we're here! The Magic Mansion!
You know magic isn't real, right?
Oh, it's definitely real, Beta,
and can be dangerous in the wrong hands.
Beta!
- Hah! Two-fer! - Ha ha ha ha!
Guys, look! There's the poster for Barbara Cadabra!
"Babs Cadabs" is more than a magician.
- She's a force of nature! - You like that one, huh?
Wait 'til the poop appears... not as magical.
Cat hair is my new favorite accessory, by the way.
No outfit is complete without it.
Now play that sax, Jax!
He's just how I like my men,
at my service and out of sight!
Babs sings, dances, does magic,
and tells jokes! She's a jill-of-all-trades!
And all you gotta do is complete list item #47,
"Be An Audience Volunteer at a Barbara Cadabra Show."
Easy! What could possibly go wrong?
Hello, Hailey Banks.
It's like you conjured your own answer, Scott.
You're probably wondering how I got tickets
to the oh-so-exclusive Magic Mansion.
- Nope. - Not really.
Some people would say it's because I'm incredibly tall.
So, some people would be... liars?
Or maybe it's because my family's company, Fans Plus,
is such a big "fan" of the arts...
Ugh, they sponsor the show, so I get free tickets!
Does he think we care?
Anyway, I personally feel magic is way overrated,
like picnics or friendship. But I know it's fun
for simpletons like you, Hailey Banks.
Who could ever say magic is overrated?
You know, Beta, I used to dabble in the mystic arts
back in my youth.
"Back in your youth?" You're 14!
But I'm a different person now.
I haven't waved a wand in years...
because when I did, tragedy struck!
Great speech. Let's go in.
Ooh, look! An invisible cape!
That's just an empty case.
"You gotta believe to see," Beta.
I could do that for free at home.
Ooh! Scott, you should hang up your coat!
Hailey, he's not wearing a coat. You okay?
You're acting like I do when I'm dropped in water.
Well, hang up something, because I heard these hooks trigger...
...this!
Oh-okay! I'm onboard now.
Secret doors are objectively cool.
This might be the first time I've been impressed by humans!
And also the last.
Welcome! Howdy! And hello!

Sir, you're gonna be my first victim--
eh, volunteer.
This isn't a trick. Your wife asked me to do it.
It's not true. It's not true.
Okay, it's kinda true!
Oh, am I supposed to let him out?
Sorry, lady, but your husband
will come back eventually.
Huh. Is it over?
My review: Brief, but fun. Overall, a seven.
It can't be over. I still need to volunteer!
Hmm, something's up. Come on.
It's happening again, Babs!
Someone just exposed the secret
to another one of your tricks on PhotoDump!
They must be here tonight, recording the show!
How are they doing this?
They're backstage, onstage, everywhere!
Sheesh, what have I ever done to this self-proclaimed...
"Tremendous and Tall Trickster"?
That must be A.C.!
Uh, excuse me, Babs and... nice stage manager?
Anita. And I am nice.
I'm Hailey, and I'm a huge fan.
- Really? - Of Babs.
Oh, yeah.
I know who's behind that PhotoDump account.
His name is A.C., and he's here in the audience!
Just kick him out, and the show can go on.
Thanks, honey, but he's a VIP.
Really?
His parents are sponsors,
which means I can't kick him out without proof.
And I certainly can't perform if my tricks
are gonna get exposed. They're all I got!
Don't worry, Babs. I'll get you that proof!
But who's gonna perform if Babs won't?
Oh, no, no, no!
You know I hung up my top hat... a long time ago.
And so I put the ball in here and... shazam!
Thank you, thank you!
And now, for my final trick,
I'll make this vending machine disappear!
Ooh! Snack magic.
Shazam!
I did it!
Intriguing. Now "shazam" it back, please.
I need crackers for my lobster bisque.
Shazam.
Shazam! Uhh...
what's "shazam" backward? "Mazahs"?
Mazahs! D-dang.
At this point, I must boo.
Boo.
My nonsense words have failed me!
I'm done with magic forever... ever... ever...
...ever ...ever ...ever.
Hey!
When is this thing gonna get going again?
Yeah, the only thing disappearing
is my attention span!
Noice!
Uh-oh. They're getting restless.
I guess I gotta take matters into my own hands!
Everyone! Before Babs returns,
please put your hands together for "Hypnotizing Hailey!"
That's me!
I sure hope no one spoils my tricks by posting them online!
No. No.
Ohh!
No. No. No.
Wait!
Nope.
No.
Hey! There's my card!
Ugh! When is Babs coming back?
My audience-- I-I mean, this audience--
deserves some good magic!
Bad news, Hailey. A.C. hasn't posted anything
to the PhotoDump account.
Shockingly, he didn't consider
any of your tricks content-worthy.
But I did every trick I know and lots I didn't!
Okay, Scott, I need to saw you in half.
- Yes! - No!
I mean, I'll help.
I'll do some magic. But not the disappearing trick.
- It's just... - ...too powerful.
- We know. - Thank you, Scott!
If anyone needs me, I'll be making you all disappear.
By closing my eyes.
And now for your enjoyment,
please welcome... Great Scott!
And now a "change" of pace...
Wow.
A.C.'s still not recording.
Time glitch!
- Looks like we're out of time. - No.
I've saved my sickest trick for last.
Prepare for: The Vanishing!
Finally, some click bait! I mean, stage bait!
I mean, just do the trick!
His phone's out! We got him. Wait, what?
Hailey! The PhotoDump account is live streaming again,
saying it's gonna expose a big trick!
But how can he be filming?
On the count of three, I will make this hat disappear!
One... two...
Wait, what now?
...three!
Scott, Beta was in that hat!
He was? Oh, no!
This is the vending machine all over again!
What if I can't re-un-disappear him?!
You can do it, Scott!
And I can do this too, too.
I know how AC did it!
Friends, prepare to be amazed...
...as I... shazam!
There is nothing worse than this.
Except that.
I wuv yooh!
And that's not all, folks!
The reason Babs hasn't done her show
is that someone's been trying to film her tricks
and reveal her secrets!
And that person is A.C. Aychvak!
Moi? You can't prove a thing!
I've been right here in my seat this entire time!
That confused me, too, but then I noticed a few things.
All the shots on the PhotoDump account
are from high angles and have a slight whirring sound.
Not to mention that you yourself said your parents' company,
Fans Plus, is a "fan" of the arts.
You see, A.C. has been filming the magic tricks...
with cameras hidden in these ceiling fans!
You'll never prove it!
The proof is on your phone!
It's how you control all the cameras in this theater!
But you don't have my phone, do you, Hailey Banks?
You mean... this phone?
Fine, I admit it!
I did try to expose Babs's tricks,
but only because a stupid magician
tried to make me disappear
at my very own birthday party years ago.
Yes, I remember it like it was yesterday--
We don't have time for your flashback, A.C.
Oh, what the actual beans?!
Now let the magic resume.
Thank you both for your efforts.
And, Hailey, with your leadership,
showmanship and sleuthing,
you, honey, are a jill-of-all-trades.
Oh, thanks, Babs!
- Got 'em all, Babs! - Thanks, Anita.
I didn't realize I had so many "fans" in high places!
I'm blown away!
Oh, no rush,
but when are you gonna bring my husband back?
He's my ride.
Shazam!
