Hi!
And now get ready for the bestest...
...most magicalest, most, uh, greatest magic man ever, the splendiferous...
- Rick!
Whoo-hoo!
What's going on now?
Thank you all for coming.
And also a thank you Puppycorn, my assistant.
-I'm a helper!
-Yes, you are.
Without further ado, let the show begin!
That's not the trick.
Ta-dah.
Oh, wait, ta-dah.
It's like you've punched my brain.
-Hat rabbit!
-Ah, magic!
That was the best trick I've ever seen.
So cool, Rick!
Wow, really?
You guys never like my hobbies. Thanks, guys.
But that's impossible.
You can't just pull rabbits from the atmosphere, that violates at least three laws of physics!
Rick broke science!
And I'm going to find out how.
()
Oh, hey, Richard.
Oh, hi, Dr. Fox.
Yeah, I'm good. Thanks for asking.
So, anyway, that magic show, great stuff. Great stuff!
- Oh, thank you--
- How do you do it?
This... This magic?
Oh, uh, ah!
A good magician never reveals his secrets.
Richard, we both know magic is fake.
Maybe magic is real.
There is a perfectly logical and scientific explanation for that hat trick.
So just tell me how you did it, okay?
Magic is about wonder that can't be explained, that's why it's fun.
No, that's why it's a trick!
It's an abomination of rational thought!
There's a logical explanation for your magic and I'm going to prove it with science!
You'll see!
You'll all see!
Hello? Dr. Fox?
Dr. Fox?
UniKitty, you're here!
I think I've almost cracked how Richard did it.
Uh, did you sleep last night?
Sleep? Sleep is for the weak!
Dr. Fox, wouldn't it be nicer if you just enjoyed Rick's magic show for what it is, a fun, cool mystery?
Never! Science is all about finding the answers to mysteries.
If I can't crack this egg, than I might as well give up on science forever!
Of course! Forever.
Infinity. The multiverse.
How did I miss this?
Gather everyone.
Hello, friends...
-Ow!
-Ow!
Sorry.
- Magic, for centuries we have wondered, "Is it real?"
-Yeah.
-Nay!
If you'll turn to page three in your pamphlets, you'll see our first diagram.
I present to you a regular top hat.
Or is it magic?
It's just a regular top hat!
Using real scientific know-how, I have opened a gateway to the rabbit dimension, a world populated only by adorable baby bunnies.
But how does it work, you ask?
The science is all very straightforward.
See, once I uncovered the paradox of the quantum rabbit...
The probability theorem...
- And that is how you actually pull a rabbit out of a hat.
Science!
I guess that explains it.
Don't you see? Magic does have a logical explanation and I just proved it.
Well, if magic isn't real, then how could I do this?
- My brain is officially double blown!
You're rich now, Dr. Fox!
Magic is real and cool again.
Excuse me, I have another trick to science out.
We'll see about that. Magic vanish.
Hmm. Oh, they'll think this is neat.
Ah...
Ta-dah!
This is amazing!
Whoa!
Huh?
Is this your card?
Hmm, uh, actually, no, it was the ace of...
No way!
Total brain punch! What?
Rick's tricks never end!
Each one more confounding.
I'm a scientist, I should be able to figure them out.
Stupid impossible magic...
Whoa!
Whoa, Rick's room.
What's this?
Encyclopedia of party magic?
That's it!
That's it.
All the secrets to Richard's magic tricks in my hands.
And they are...
And they are...
Not scientific at all.
Wow, I wasted a lot of time.
But no matter, I got you, Rick!
Now everyone will finally know the truth!
Rick almost had me, but I knew there was a logical explanation to it all.
Science wins!
What are you talking about, Dr. Fox?
Magic is fake and I have proof.
It's all just sleight of hand and showmanship.
Uh...
Rick's magic tricks were all just simple illusions.
The top hat had a false bottom.
The flowers were inside his wand.
And the coin was hidden right here the whole time.
I can't believe how stupidly simple it all was.
- You're right. Magic is an illusion.
I just wanted to do something that everyone thought was cool for once.
But now that you all know my secrets, it seems that Splendiferous Rick is no more.
Oh, that's how you say it.
Congratulations, Dr. Fox.
Science wins.
But, Richard, what did I do wrong?
We all liked Rick's show the way it was.
The fun of magic is the mystery.
And now it's kind of ruined.
I didn't mean to hurt Richard's feelings.
All I wanted to do was prove that science was better than magic in every way.
What was that?
-We're under attack!
-That came from the lab. Quick!
Uh, Dr. Fox?
-What is that?
-Magic monster.
Time to magic this magic monster...
Disappear!
Bodyguard attack!
These bunnies aren't cute!
Dr. Fox, do something!
Try this one on for size, big guy.
Oh, that usually works.
Ugh! This is all my fault.
If I hadn't done all of those dumb experiments none of this would have happened.
I should have just let Rick do his magic.
We could use a little magic right now.
Huh?
Ladies and gentlemen, and the monster.
Abracadabra.
The Splendiferous Rick!
That's right. And for the Splendiferous Rick's first trick, I have two metal rings.
Solid, or are they?
Poof.
Oh! Oh!
Yes, Rick, it's working! Do more tricks!
And of course, everyone knows a magician needs an assistant... If you'll have me.
Of course.
Now let's magic.
Thank you, thank you.
I'm so sorry I ruined your tricks, Richard.
I realize that mysteries like magic are why scientists explore the unknown in the first place.
It's okay if I don't know everything.
Plus, your tricks are really cool.
Thanks, Dr. Fox.
And I think I may have an idea for your big finale.
Perfect.
For my final trick, I'll need a volunteer from the audience.
Ooh, me! Me! Me!
How about you in the hat?
My top hat, completely empty.
Now, I just need you to reach inside and pull out a rabbit.
Ta-dah.
Rick, that was amazing!
-That was awesome!
-Wowie-zowie!
Encore! But not really, because that was super scary!
-We did it!
-I couldn't have done it without you, Doctor.
I think that was Splendiferous Rick's best performance yet.
But seriously, we need to get you a new magic name.
Aw, magic friends!
Huh?
Boo!
