Now You See It Page #3

Synopsis: Professional magician Mystic Max hosts a reality TV show. It allows the winning three teams of minors, would be-TV directors and cameramen and the best young magicians some of them present, to go on to a final competition at Hollywood's Magic Mansion. Pushy nerd Allyson Miller was lucky enough to 'discover' Danny Sinclair, who performs unseen tricks with stunning surprise, yet often lacks any confidence. In between the competition tests, Danny goes searching for the mansion's secrets, hidden by founding magician Antonio De Milo. Finding those is only part of a confusing confrontation in which Max's part is unclear.

5 Very Different Yet Common

Household Items

And You Have

Exactly 30 Minutes

To Create An Illusion

Using Any Or All

Of These 5 Objects.

Just Those Things

And Nothing Else?

Just Those Things,

Nothing Else.

And The Clock Is Ticking.

I Know. It's Gonna Be

Totally Perfect.

Mcallister:
Where

Are My Cameramen?

There's Cedric.

So, Uh, Danny, Now That

You've Done All This

Intense But Not

Very Interesting

To Watch Thinking,

Anything You'd Like To

Hop Up And Show Us?

Anything You Want

To Try?

Any Probably Futile But

Charming First Attempt

You'd Care To Perform?

Have I Mentioned

You're Making It Hard

For Me To Concentrate?

Ok, Maybe You've Never

Watched Much Tv,

But As I Said Before

It Has To Be Active,

It Has To Be

Captivating--

Where Are You Going?

I Can't Do This.

What Do You Mean?

No, No, No,

You Have To Do This.

Listen, I Shouldn't

Have Came Here

In The First Place,

Especially Not If I Knew

I'd End Up With You.

It Might Help If You Try

Clueing Me In, You Know.

What's This

Really About?

Is It Stage Fright?

Are You Freaked Out

About Having To Perform

In Front Of

A Bunch Of Cameras?

If You Are,

I Totally Understand.

Just Tell Me

And We Can Figure Out

How To Work On It.

It's Not Stage Fright.

Then What?

I'm Only Trying To Help.

Yeah, Well, You Can't.

I'm Not The Enemy,

You Know.

Cedric And I

Are Your Friends.

Right, Cedric?

Cedric!

Attention, Please!

Yeah, Thanks.

Huh?

I Was Trying

To Assure Danny

That He's Got

Whatever Support

He Needs

Because You And I

Are Here For Him.

Yeah, For Sure.

See?

Great. Well, Now That

We Have That Established

Let's Just Cut

The Chitter-Chatter

So I Can Focus

On My Trick.

Uh...Good.

100 Have Tried,

But Only 3 Have Survived.

And Now The Stakes

Get Even Higher.

3 Kids, 7 Days,

Only One Winner.

Who Will Be The World's

Greatest Kid Magician?

The Challenge Begins.

First Up:
Zoe

From Philadelphia.

Do You Believe

In Magic

In A Young

Girl's Heart?

How The Music

Can Free Her...

Anybody Can Bounce

A Basketball,

But How Many Can

Do This?

It Makes You Feel Happy

Like An Old-Time Movie

I'll Tell You

About Some Magic

It'll Free Your Soul

But If I Try To Tell

A Stranger

About Rock 'N' Roll

If You Believe In Magic

Don't Bother To Choose

If It's Jug Band Music

Or Rhythm And Blues

Just Go And Listen,

It'll Start With A Smile

It Won't

Wipe Off Your Face

Not Matter

How Hard You Try

Allyson, VOICE-OVER:

Zoe's Trick Was

Pretty Cool.

Max Must've

Thought So, Too,

Because He Gave Her

A 7 Out Of

A Possible 10.

Not Bad For Starters.

Do You Believe

In Magic?

And Then...

It Was Danny's Turn.

So What Are You

Gonna Do?

[Exhales] Not A Clue.

I'm Not Laughing.

Good.

Because Neither Am I.

A Fish Tank.

Uh, A Basketball.

A Rope, A Broom.

Yeah, We Know.

Please Let Him

Do His Trick.

A Rope...

Broom.

Don't Blink Because All

The Objects You See Here,

They're, Uh...

They're Gonna Disappear.

Right! You Don't Stand

A Snowball's Chance

In You-Know-Where

Of Pulling That Off.

Oh, Yeah? Watch

And Be Amazed.

1...2...

Zoe:
No Way.

What Is That?

Hey, What's Going On?

Mcallister:
Don't Stop.

Keep Going, Keep Rolling.

Whoa.

Very Impressive.

That's Truly Original.

Uh...Thanks.

Yeah, But Nothing

Disappeared.

What--What's With

That White Stuff?

The Trick Is Nothing.

It's Real Snow.

Who Does

This Guy Think He Is?

Hey, Hunter, Catch!

Wait. You Said

The Contestants

Can Only Use

The 5 Original Objects,

But He Used This.

Yeah! Snow Isn't

One Of The Props.

That's Ridiculous!

He Just Did

The Most Amazing Trick

I've Ever Seen.

It Doesn't Matter.

Rules Are Rules.

Only The Original

5 Objects, Max.

That's What You Said.

Yes, The Challenge

Was To Think In

Unusual Ways, Danny,

And You Certainly

Accomplished That.

Yes!

But Technically Speaking

Hunter Is Right.

You Were Meant To

Use 5 Objects Only,

So I'm Gonna

Give You A 3.

Yes!

Ok, Let's Clean Up

The Stage. Brandon,

You're Next.

If It's Ok, I'd Like

To Use An Assistant

For This.

Danny's Right There.

Use Him.

But--

Mcallister:
Oh,

Stand By. Here We Go.

Everybody Get Ready.

Oh. I Call This

Trick...

Clean Sweep.

Heh Heh Heh!

Now, Danny,

If You Could

Unfold This Sheet

And Hold It Up

Like A Curtain.

Easy Enough.

All Right, Danny,

If You Could Raise

The Sheet A Bit Higher.

You Know, Technically

I'm Not One Your

5 Approved Items.

Just Raise The Sheet,

Ok? Don't Be A Freak.

Heh Heh!

And Now For The Most

Amazing Feat

You Have Ev--

Brandon? Uh-Oh.

Brandon?

[All Gasp And Chatter]

Heh!

That's--I Don't Know.

Mcallister:
Go With It.

Max Seems Ok.

[Screaming

And Laughing]

That Is So Crazy.

Mcallister:

Just Keep Rolling.

Allyson:
Will You Slow

Down? What Happened

Back There?

It Was Brandon's Trick.

You Ask Him.

No, I Saw--

Saw What?

I Think You're

Hiding Something.

Yeah, Well,

You're Wrong.

Are You Gonna Start

Letting Me In?

If Something's Going On

Maybe I Could Help.

Thanks, But No Thanks.

I Need To Sort

This Out Myself.

I Can't Be Your Friend

If You Don't Give Me

Something To Work With,

You Know.

Look, I Realize

I Come On A Little Strong

And Maybe...Well,

I'm Sure I've Gotten

Too Caught Up In Trying

To Figure You Out,

But I've Got A Feeling

We Might Actually

Really Like Each Other

If We Didn't Have To

Be In Combat Mode

Every Second.

Ok.

Uhh!

Can We Try

Calling A Truce

For A Minute Or Two?

Sure, Why Not?

Great. So How Did Brandon

End Up On That Wheel?

I Don't Know. You're

The Puzzle Solver.

Why Don't

You Tell Me?

[Distorted Laughter]

Ugh!

This Is Where He Was

Standing, Right?

How Should I Know?

Can We Do This

In The Morning?

I Mean This Place

Creeps Me Out.

No Trapdoor.

There's No Way

Brandon Could've

Pulled That Trick Off

Without A Trapdoor.

Who Cares How Brandon

Pulled Off The Trick?

I Mean, It's Past

Curfew, It's Dark.

We're Gonna Get Caught.

[Door Opens]

[Whispering]

Shh! Someone's COMING!

I Know There's

A Trapdoor Here.

Hi, Guys.

What Are You

Doing Here?

Same Thing You Are.

Admiring The Fine

Workmanship

Of The Floorboards.

Pretty Impressive

Trick You Did

This Afternoon.

Sometimes I Even

Amaze Myself.

I'm Sure You Do.

No Trapdoor.

Yeah, So?

Let's Just Say This.

I Have No Idea

What Really Went On,

But I Know

It Wasn't You

Who Pulled It Off.

Ok, So Prove It.

Maybe I Will.

Ooh-Ooh!

Look, There's Gotta

Be A Trapdoor Here

Somewhere.

Keeping Looking.

Look Over There.

Brandon:
Ok.

[Hunter And Brandon

Whispering]

[Birds Tweeting]

Max:
Good Morning,

Everyone.

I Trust You Had

A Good Night's Rest.

Now Let's Start.

For The Second Challenge

Each Contestant

Will Receive A Wand

Bearing A Famous

Magician's Name.

Zoe.

Oh, Wow!

Alexander Herrmann.

Brandon.

Oh! Harry Blackstone.

And Last But Not Least,

The Great Harry Houdini

Is For Danny.

[Others Gasp]

Oh!

Zoe:
Wow!

The Challenge For You Three

Is To Research

Your Magician.
