THE ADVENTURES OF CRASH AND COCO BANDICOOT

EVERY LITTLE THING MAX DOES IS MAGIC

AT HIGH SCHOOL

Teacher: Before you go people, the talent show is one week from tomorrow. This will promote our high school as the best school ever. Does anybody want to participate at our show?

Kid 1: I'll be singing.

Teacher: Ok, we have one. Anyone else?

Kid 2: My friends and I want to do dancing part.

Teacher: Ok, anybody else?

Max: (wearing a white shirt with a blue un-buttoned shirt over it. He has blue jeans shorts and white sneakers) I'll be the magician.

(All Gasp and look at Max)

Max: What? You never saw a magician in a talent show? It happened many times.

Kid 3: But this talent show is singing and dancing. Magic has never been done in this high school before.

Max: So what, I'll the first magician to do so.

OUTSIDE HIGH SCHOOL

Max: Oh no! Why did I say that? Why did I decide to become a magician?

Coco: (she's wearing a white T-shirt, yellow shorts and white w/black design sneakers) I like your idea Max. Doing magic is good instead of singing or dancing. You can be good just like the other magicians. Like you said earlier, you can be the first magician ever in this high school.

Max: Hmm, you have a point. Maybe I can.

Coco: Look at the other magicians like David Pennyfield (instead of David Copperfield), Seinfeld and Lloyd (instead of Siegfried and Roy), and Lance Barton (instead of Lance Burton). They gave a shot of being magicians and it paid off big time. They made it big by becoming famous performers. You can do it.

Max: I guess you're right sweetheart. I can take a shot at it. I do have a few tricks at home. Do you want to become my assistant?

Coco: Of course I will (kisses Max on the cheek) I'll see you later.

Max finger-waves at Coco.

Max: Yeah!!!!

FEW DAYS LATER AT CRASH'S HOUSE

Crash: (clears throat) (he's wearing his typical outfit) Lady and Gentleman (only Crash, Crunch and Tawna were there) Tonight is the moment you were waiting for. Here he is, the master of all magicians, the king of tricks, here's the Amazing Maximilian.

(Clapping as the curtains open)

Max: (has a top hat and a red cape) Hiya folks! The first trick I'll do is to pull a rabbit out of my hat. (He puts his hand in the hat) Hey, where's the rabbit?

Coco: Oh, I forgot to tell you, the bunny got away.

Max: Oh no! I'll do my next trick. Miss Coco, hand me my magic turban and a pitcher of water.

Coco hands Max the water pitcher and the turban. Max pours the water into the turban.

Max: Now when I put this turban on my head, the water will disappear. (puts turban on his head and water spills on his head) D'OH! Ok, now we'll move on to the next trick. I have nothing up my sleeve (spreads his arms and tricks fall off his sleeves) Oh man!

Crunch: Come on. What kind of magician are you? I'm outta here.

Tawna: Me too! (both Crunch and Tawna leave the house)

Max: I can't do it. (slams the turban on the floor and then he sits and looks down looking depressed) I'm the worst magician ever.

Coco: (sits with Max) Why do you say that?

Max: I practiced last night and I still can't be a good magician. (sadness in his face)

Coco: (caresses Max's back) That's okay sweetheart. We can both go to a magic shop and we can buy magic for the talent show.

Max: Yeah! That's a great idea. Coco, you're a genius! (hugs Coco tightly)

Coco: Thank you Maxie!

Crash: I like the sound of that. I know where you can a great magic shop. There is a place called Pennyfield's magic shop. David Pennyfield's brother owns it and he's a professional magician. Maybe you and Coco can go there. You'll have a big chance to become a successful magician. Trust Me pal.

Max: You're right. Let's go Coco.

They go to Pennyfield's magic shop and enters. The place is empty and looks closed.

Max: Hello?? Hello?? Anybody there.

Coco: Hello??

Jim Pennyfield: (David Pennyfield's brother) Just a sec. (approaches behind the table) Yes?

Max: I came here to buy some good magic tricks.

Coco: Yeah, it's for our high school talent show.

Max: Do you have any suggestions for good tricks.

Jim: Sure, how about these cards.

Max: I mean for stage shows.

Jim: Ahh, so is this one. This is the 6-card repeat. I have 6 cards here as I will show you, I will place 3 cards on this table and I still have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 cards.

Coco: Wow! Amazing!

Max: Awesome!

Jim: But you throw 3 cards to the audience. You do this 5 more times and you add a little storyline to that.

Max: Got any other tricks. How about that one over there?

Jim: Sure, the levitating sack of money. (it's attached to a string) Now I will float this bag in the air. First I need my wand. (the wand is enchanted) Watch (waves the magic wand)

Wand: HEE HEE!!!

(The magic bag goes too high up)

Jim: What the..

Max and Coco: OOOOOOOOH!!!

Max: Cool!

Coco: Double Cool!

(Now the entire magic shop does tricks by itself)

Coco: Wow! That is so cool. The entire shop is magical.

Jim: No! This can't happen. I'm the worst magician ever.

Wand: No don't say that!

Jim tries to break the wand and magic stops.

Wand: No don't break me!

Jim puts the wand back in the shelf.

Max: I love it!

Jim: I know, take these tricks (hands them magic tricks) there on me.

Max: (imitating Joey Lawrence) WHOA, I love this guy.

Coco laughing

Max: Let's go!

The magic wand glides to Max's pocket.

AT MAX'S HOUSE

Max: I'll call you later. (kisses Coco)

Coco: Bye!

Max goes to his room upstairs. The wand comes out of his pocket.

Wand: Hello Max!

Max: Huh! (looks scared) You can talk!?!?! How do you know my name? Wait a minute, aren't you from the magic shop I went a few minutes ago.

Wand: Very good, you got good memory. I heard that you want to be in a talent show?

Max: Yeah!

Wand: Well, I will help you become a successful magician.

Max: But, you're a magic wand.

Wand: Not just a magic wand, I'm enchanted. Hold out you hand!

(POOF)

Max: (has flowers appear) Cool!

Wand: Now, can I be your assistant?

(hears knocking on the door)

Max: Hide!

(Max's father David Bandicoot comes in Max's room)

Max: Hi dad!

David: So, how was it!

Max: Brutal, but me and Coco went to a local magic shop and I bought some good tricks for Saturday's talent show.

David: Look, it's tough to do tricks for the first time. Look at your grandfather, he become a successful magician when he was just about your age.

Max: Grandpa was a magician, nobody told me that.

David: Well, now you know! Someday, you can become one, just like grandpa.

Max: Yeah, I guess you're right.

David: Well, goodnight son! (leaves room)

Wand: So, I can help you. Let me be your assistant?

Max: Uhh, I can't. I asked Coco to be my assistant, sorry. Good night.

Wand: Ok then.

(light goes off and Max sleeps in his bed)

Wand: (low voice) Oh, so you want some woman to be your assistant. Well, we'll see about that when I'll make you be my assistant forever.
