Now You See It Page #6

Named Lars Holmstrom.

He Made 2 Of Them.

One He Kept For Himself

And One I Have Here

At The Mansion.

I Keep It Locked Away

In Storage,

Although That Could Explain

Why I Received Reports

Of You Nosing

Around Downstairs.

I've Never Seen

This Chair Before.

Oh, I See.

I Guess It Walked Up Here

All By Itself, Didn't It?

I'd Like To Demonstrate For You,

Ladies And Gentlemen.

There's A Trigger Device

Right Here

Behind The Left Leg.

It's A Hydraulic System.

A Thin Plate Recessed

Into The Chair Seat Is

Attached To A Rod

Which Runs Right Up

The Middle Spine

Of The Back Of The Chair.

It Is Able

To Lift 200 Pounds.

It's A Very Ingenious Device,

But A Device Nonetheless.

Danny's A Performer

Like All Performers.

But A Mighty Clever One,

Don't You Think?

Ah.

Hunter:
Well, Well.

Brandon:
Interesting.

Danny, Wait.

You Can't Run

Away From Me.

Whatever You Have To Say,

I Don't Want To Hear It.

Why? Because You Know

You Lied To Me?

I'm Not A Liar.

Nobody Can Relate To Me.

My Powers Make Me A Freak.

I'm So Alone.

Blah, Blah, Blah.

Every Single Bit

Of That Was True.

Oh, Really?

Because It's Feeling To Me

Like Professor French Was Right.

You're Only Using Me

To Make Yourself The Star

Of The Stupid Show.

Oh, Come On, Allyson,

That Is So Not It!

Don't You Get It?

Max Is The One

Who Doesn't Want

My Abilities Revealed.

He's The One

Who Rigged The Chair.

Care To Tell Me Why?

I Don't Know!

Maybe There's Some Reason

Why He's Out To Get Me.

You Are--

[Sighs]

You Are Truly Unbelievable.

You Never Quit, Do You?

You Actually Had Me Fooled

For A Minute There.

Except Suddenly,

It Couldn't Be Clearer.

You're Exactly

Like Everybody Else

I've Ever Known.

Setting Me Up To Make Me

Look Like A Fool.

Just So You Can Prove

I'm Not As Smart

As I Think I Am!

Oh, Will You Get

Over Yourself!

All Right, Did You

Ever Stop To Think

That Maybe This Has Nothing

To Do With You?

You Know What?

Tell It Someone Who Cares.

Sorry I Was Ever Lame Enough

To Imagine We Were Friends.

So, Where Did That Leave Us?

As Far As The Expert Panel

Was Concerned,

Danny Was Just

An Ordinary Kid Magician

Who Also Happened To Be

A Truly Impressive Trickster.

Well, Much To Hunter's Dismay,

That Meant Danny Was

Not Only Still Eligible

To Compete

In The Grand Finale,

But It Also Meant He Was

Probably A Shoe-In To Win.

And As For Me,

Well, Losing A Friend

Did Not Mean I Was Willing

To Lose My Job.

The Big Difference Was

That From Here On Out,

Danny And I Were Gonna Be

All About The Show

And Nothing Else.

Hey, Shouldn't We Be Out

Getting New Footage

Of Danny Practicing

His New Trick Or Something?

I'd Love To, Cedric,

But I'm Busy.

Oh, Still Ticked, Huh?

Don't I Have

A Right To Be?

I Don't Know

If Danny Lied To You About

The Levitation Chair Or What,

But He's Still

A Great Magician.

I Mean, If Nothing Else.

And We Both Know

He Totally Pulled Off

Getting Those Doves

Into Paul's Van.

[Scoffs]

No, He Didn't.

I'm Sure It's Just

One More Lousy Trick.

I'll Bet You

I Can Show You

How He Did It.

Sure.

Ok, Somewhere In Here

We're Gonna See His Parents

Or Somebody Show Up

To Start Loading Those

Doves Into The Van.

How? Paul Locked It

When We Left.

It Was Still Locked

When We Got Back.

Maybe We Left A Window

Cracked Or Something.

I Don't Know.

Hate To Tell You,

But Here We Come,

And Nobody's Messed

With The Van.

You're Opening The Door.

I Still Haven't Seen

Any Dove Wrangler.

Did You See That?

Back It Up.

Back It Up.

Those Doves Came

Out Of Nothing.

Now You See It,

Now You Don't.

It's A Miracle.

Absolutely.

Ha Ha!

Without A Doubt.

Danny's Not A Magician.

He's A Wizard.

[Indistinct Voices]

Danny?

[Knocks On Door]

Danny?

Danny?

Come On.

Cedric, You Check Outside.

I'll Check The Vault.

[Lock Rattles]

[Air Hissing]

Danny?

[Danny Speaking Indistinct]

Max:
Come On, Danny.

Sit Down, Relax.

It's Nothing

To Concern Yourself With.

Danny:
You're Sure?

You Came Here Looking

For Answers, Didn't You?

Isn't That Why

You Entered The Contest?

Well, Yeah.

I Guess.

I Have Exactly What It Is

You're Looking For.

Sit Down.

Danny, I Know All About You.

I Know About Your Struggles,

I Know About Your Confusion,

And I Know

About Your Powers.

But Aren't You The One

Who Said I Was Faking It

To Get Attention?

I Mean, Aren't You

The President Of

The Worldwide Skeptic Society?

It's A Perfect Cover,

Isn't It?

You See, Every Generation

One Or Two Truly Powerful

Sorcerers Are Born

With Magical Abilities

That Would Boggle

The Imagination

Of Ordinary Men.

I'm One Of

Those True Wizards.

And, Danny,

So Are You.

But How Did You Know?

I Mean, How Did You Find Me?

I Didn't Find You.

You Found Me.

I Created This Show

Hoping It Act As A Lure

To Bring Out

One More Great Sorcerer,

And It Worked.

If I'm So Great And Magical,

Then How Come My Powers

Are Always Totally

Out Of My Control?

Well, You're Young Yet,

You're Untrained,

But All That's

About To Change.

What Do You Mean?

Harnessing Your Power

Is About Focus

And Concentration.

It's About Learning To Believe

That You Are Entitled

To This Great Gift

You've Been Given.

[Whispers]

Oh, MY GOSH.

It's Nothing

To Be Afraid Of.

Danny, I Have Felt

Every Single Thing

That You've Been Feeling.

I Was Exactly Like You,

Alone And Afraid.

And Then One Day,

I Met My Mentor,

Antonio De Milo,

And I Began To Feel

What I Know

You're Going

To Begin To Feel.

I Felt Safe.

I Felt Home.

And That's Where

You Are, Danny.

You're Home.

Watch This.

Now, You Try.

You Need To Be

More Centered.

It's All About Concentration.

It's All About Focus.

What You Need To Do Is,

You Need To Believe.

There.

You See

How Simple That Is?

All Right Now,

Let's See What You've Got.

Come On! Hit Him!

Come On, Come On!

Get Him!

Danny:
Ow! Get Back!

Ohh!

Get Him!

Come On!

Yaah! Come On!

Yeah-Ah!

I'm Gonna Get You, Max!

Ohh!

Max, I'm So Sorry.

That Thing Could've

Killed You.

It's Fine, Danny.

It's Perfectly Fine.

We'll Work On It.

We'll Work On It

Together.

That's What Mentors

Are For.

Meanwhile,

I Have A Gift For You.

Here.

Slip This Ring

On Your Finger

And While Your Tutelage

Proceeds,

Your Powers Will Remain

Totally In Check.

There'll Be No More

Unexpected Spells,

No More Vanishing Friends,

No More Having To Worry

About Your Every Thought.

Well, How--I Mean,

How Is That Possible?

Magic.

Here.

Go Ahead.

Feels Good, Doesn't It?

Yeah, You--

You Don't Even Know.

But--But Are You Sure

It's Gonna Work?

Yes, I'm Sure.

Look, I Know This

Is Overwhelming For You.

It's An Awful Lot

To Digest,

An Awful Lot To Grasp,

So I Think You Should

Go Back To Your Room

And Have

A Good Night's Sleep.

I Want You To Have

The Best Sleep

You've Ever Had

In Your Life Tonight.

Danny:
Thank You, Max.

Good Night.

[Door Shuts]

[Door Opens]

Allyson:
Paul.

Paul:
