Allyson:
The Rumors Have

Been Out Of Control

Ever Since The Night Of

The Final Competition.

Some People Think

Danny Ran Away,

That He's In Hiding.

Others Think He Never

Existed In The First Place.

But Believe Me, He Is Real.

I Know. I--I Was There.

[Exhales]

Some Of What

I Witnessed Was...

Pretty Terrifying.

I Saw Things That Were

So...Strange,

So...Unexpected.

Well, As Much

As I Like To Think

I'm A Champion

Puzzle Solver

Even I Still Haven't

Figured Out

Exactly How It

All Went Down.

But One Thing

I Am Sure Of...

Danny Sinclair Is

Definitely Real

And Unlike Anybody

You've Ever Met.

Oh, And Also,

What I'm About To Show You.

Was Never, Ever Meant

To Be Seen.

I Was Hired To Be

A Segment Producer

Of A New Reality

Tv Show,

Assigned To Make Sure

Every Bit Of Action

Got Caught On Tape.

Mcallister:
Everybody

Take A Seat, Please.

Thank You.

As Thrilled As We Are That

This Is The First Show

In Television History

To Be Produced

Entirely By Kids,

Not All Of You

Will Remain.

Only Those Who Discover

One Of The 3

Final Magicians

Will Stay With Us

Through The Grand Finale.

Think You're

All Up For It?

Oh, Definitely!

Good.

[Others Chuckling]

Thank You. Heh Heh!

Before We Proceed,

What Is The Single Most

Important Rule For

Making Good Television?

Oh!

Make Sure They Spell

Your Name Right

In The Credits.

Yeah. Yes, And You Are?

Allyson Miller. I Think

The Most Important Rule

Of Good Television

Is To Always

Keep Your Camera Rolling.

Excellent.

I Couldn't Have

Said It Better Myself.

Actually, You Did.

I Remembered It

From A Quote You Gave

In An Interview

With Tv Weekly.

October Of 2002.

Well, It's Nice To Know

One Of You Came Prepared.

And Now It Is My Pleasure

To Introduce You

To Someone I'm Sure You Are

All Familiar With.

He Is Both

A World Renowned Magician

And The Host Of Our New

Reality Television Show,

Please Welcome

The Amazing Mystic Max.

Thank You.

Good Morning,

Ladies And Gentlemen.

100 Talented Magicians

Between The Ages

Of 10 And 16

Became Eligible For Our Show

By Figuring Out The Hidden

Message In This Poster.

It Appeared On Billboards,

In Magazines,

In Newspapers

And On The Internet.

Hidden Somewhere In This Ad

Is A Secret Message.

Just Out Of Curiosity,

Did Any One Of You

Find The Hidden Message?

Allyson.

Big Surprise.

Would You Care

To Show Us?

Well, As We All Know

Magicians Say The Secret

To Any Good Trick

Is Misdirection.

That Means They're

Trying To Get You

To Focus Over Here

While They Do Some

Hocus Pocus Over There.

So Most People

Probably Thought

The Clues Would Be Found

In The Magician

And His Trick

Because That's What

First Draws Your Eye,

But Truth Is It's

The Background Things

You Need To Focus On.

See, The Spider Web

Made Me Realize

It Was Probably There To

Direct Us To A Web Site.

Then On Looking Closer

At The Book The Statue

Is Holding

I Saw That It Was

A Farewell To Arms,

And Then Bam! It Hit Me!

I Mean Everybody Knows

That The Venus De Milo

Is A Statue With No Arms.

Sure.

And That Made Me Think

Of The Famous Founder

Of The Magic Mansion,

A Magician Named

Antonio Demilo.

I Mean, How Obvious

Could It Be?

This Is

A Joke, Right?

I Went On-Line,

Typed In Demilo.Net

And Got Linked Directly

To The Contest Entry Form.

Simple, Right?

Well Done, Allyson.

Oh! Thanks.

Hunter:

Know-It-All.

Allyson, VOICE-OVER:

Ok, So I'm Not The Best

At Making Friends.

I Know I Can Seem Like

A Bit Of A Know-It-All

But I Really Don't Mean To.

It's Not Fault People

Ask Me Questions

And I Have Answers.

I Mean, What Am I

Supposed To Do?

Hey, I'd Love It If Kids

My Own Age Could Actually

Relate To Me.

I Mean I've Tried Pretending

I'm Into Lip Gloss

And Text Messaging

And Hanging Out At The Mall.

I Just Can't Ever Seem

To Pull It Off.

Ok, Sorry. What Got Me Off

On That Rant?

I Have No Idea.

Seriously, I'm Not The Story

Here. Danny Is.

Ms. Mcallister Divided Us

Into Teams.

Each Team Had

A Kid Producer,

A Kid Cameraperson.

And An Adult Mentor.

Our Team Was Me,

Our Camera Guy Cedric...

Peace.

And Our Mentor

Whose Name Was Paul.

We Were Sent To Find

The One Kid Who Could

Best Represent His Region

On The Show.

Mcallister:

That's Good Work,

People, Good Work.

We Had Not Idea

What We Were In For.

Ok, Good Luck,

Everybody.

Let's Do This.

Come On. Hey!

Hi. Are You Blake?

Yes, I Am.

Hi, I'm Allyson.

Nice To Meet You.

Nice To Meet You.

We're With The World's

Greatest Magician.

Wow! Sweet!

Yeah! You Ready

To Show Us What You Got?

Yeah, Let's Go.

Ok, Let's Do It.

World's Greatest

Magician,

Contestant

Number One, Action!

Don't Take It Easy On Me.

Get It Super Tight.

Good Luck, Buddy.

Unh!

I Present...

Siegfried...

As Dog Gone!

Ok, Now Be Prepared

To Be Astounded

As I Show You The Card

You Just Picked.

Ta-Da!

Um, No.

The Astonishing

Linking Rings.

Unh!

[Whimpering]

Allyson:
Um...Brian?

Ok, I'm Positive That

This Is Your Card.

No.

This Your Card?

No.

Ugh!

Unh! Unh! Oh!

Go Back In! Go!

[Yipping]

This One. This One!

This One?

First, I Take An Egg...

Crack It Into The Hat,

Add Some Flour

And A Little Milk.

After I Stir It All Up

And Place It On Your Head

A Cake Will Magically...

Oh, Wait, Wait, Wait!

Appear.

You Forgot

The Rubber Cake.

Oops.

Ok. So Basically

I Could Describe

My Contestants

In 2 Words:

Impressively Pathetic.

Hmph! Bummer, Right?

If I Didn't Find Someone

Who Was Cool Enough

To Put On A Show,

My First Chance At A Career

Was Gonna Be Over

Before It Ever Started.

[Exhales] Cedric And I

Were Down To Our Last Hope.

Oh!

Hey!

[Alarm Beeps]

Ok, This Better

Be Good.

Hi. Nice To Meet

You People.

Hi.

Nice To Meet You.

We're So Glad

You're Here.

Yeah. This Is All

Danny's Been Talking

About For Weeks.

Great, Good, Awesome,

Perfect, Yeah.

He's Been Very,

Very Anxious To

Meet You People,

Heh!

Uh, Please Come In. Yeah.

Oh, Ok.

[Balloon Being Inflated]

Hello.

Uh...

Heh!

Hi. Danny.

Hi. Allyson.

Nice To Meet You.

Paul.

I'm Danny. Welcome.

Ready To Show Us

What You Got?

Heh. Only One Way

To Find Out.

Contestant Number 10

Danny Sinclair.

And...Action.

1...2...

3!

Let Me Guess.

The Incredible

Popping Balloon.

No, No. See, What's

Supposed To Happen

Is I Pop The Balloon

And A Dove Flies Out.

I've Done It

A Million Times.

Ok.

Just Let Me Try It

Again, Ok?

Be My Guest.

Ok. 1...2...

3!

All Right, One More

Time, One More Time.

All Right, 1...

2...3!

All Right, Next Time--

Next Time For Sure,

Next Time For Sure.

You Know, Maybe

You Want To Try

A Different Trick.

No, I Can Do This,

All Right? I Can Do This.

You Need Any Help?

You Want An Assistant?

I Mean, We Could Always

Try A Different Camera--

I'm Gonna Do It,

All Right? You Just

Gotta Back Off...

And Give Me

Another Chance.

This Really Matters

To You, Huh?

More Than You Can

Possibly Know.

Well, If It Makes You
