SEGMENT 3

The conveyor belt moves even faster.

David: Son, I think you need to put a rush into this magic thing.

Max: I can't! It's out of control.

The wand makes magic tricks come to life and Max can't stop it.

Crunch: What kind magician is this?

Wand: A magician who can take you down. (the wand turns him into a chicken) What's the matter, are you chicken.

Crash: Hey, what's going on here? Max, cut it out.

Coco: Huh! Oh no!

The wand lifts Tawna and Coco in the air and the wand turns Pura into a huge tiger.

Coco and Tawna: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

The wand lifts Crash and places him inside a small bottle.

Crash: Uhhh Need help here.

Max: This is all your fault.

Wand: My fault? No, I'm just trying to make you famous.

Max: Famous Shmamous! You're gonna kill my friends. First I gotta free my dad.

Max grabs the bottle that Crash is in and gives it a whack at the buzz saw and the belt is destroyed and the bottle shatters.

Crash: Thanks buddy!

David: Thanks my son!

Max: Wait a second. This buzz saw is made out of paper. You could have killed my dad.

Wand: Whatever.

Max: Now let my friends go now!

Wand: No, I will not.

Max: You better!

Wand: Not in your life kid! First I gotta make you successful.

Max: You are failing me and I will quit the magic business forever.

Wand: You are now my slave kid!

Max: What!

Wand: You're mine forever.

Max: You're darn terrible!

Wand: That's right kid. You gotta sacrifice your friends for your career.

Max: Who needs a magic career when I got better ideas than just a piece of junk like you?

Wand: Watch it kid.

Max: Shut Up!

(a real magician is at the entrance)

Jim Pennyfield comes to the rescue.

Jim: Stop! That wand causes more trouble than I expected.

Max: Oh Mr. Pennyfield. Thank goodness you're here.

Jim: That wand you have...

Max: Yeah! This wand is the disaster.

Jim: Hey you (points to Crash and whispers in his ear)

Max: Huh!

Jim: Hey, tell them you're bad.

Max: What?

Crash: He said, tell the audience you stink on ice.

Max: Oh yeah! That's right, it will stop the disaster. (clears throat) I AM THE WORST MAGICIAN IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD AND PROUD OF IT.

Wand: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

The magic begins to stop.

Jim: Perform the broken wand.

Max: Ok (breaks the wand using his knees)

Wand: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Everything goes back to normal. The audience leaves the theater.

Jim: Well, I'll see you when I see you.

Everybody looks at Max and Max goes backstage in disgusted.

Crunch: Ha I told you, he's the worst magician.

Coco: Cut it out. You're hurting Max's feelings.

Tawna: Yeah! At least he's trying his very best on becoming a magician.

Crash: She's right. Everybody can become a good magician and some can become a bad magician. He did try his best. Right?

Crunch: Well, It doesn't matter who's right and who's wrong.

Crash: Hey, I'm right. You can't just criticize performers on how bad or good they are. A performer can do their best and Max did his best on becoming a magician.

OUTSIDE THE THEATER

Max is sitting on the staircase. He unties his cape, takes his hat and jacket off. He has his head down and depressed.

Max: (with a low voice) I'm a failure. That wand caused me a lot of trouble and I had a chance to become a successful, now I became the worst magician ever and I'll be the laughing stock in city.

David and Coco come out.

Coco: Do you want us to sit next to you.

Max: Ok!

Coco sits next to Max on his right and David sits next to Max on his left side.

David: Son. I know you feel bad that they don't like your performance.

Max: I know Dad and I almost got my friends killed. It's all my fault.

Coco: (caresses Max's back) No It's not your fault. You put a lot of effort on your performance until that evil magic wand destroyed your chance. I felt bad for you too. But the most important thing you did is that you tried your best.

Max: Huh?

David: She's right Max. I did the same thing when I was about your age.

Max: You did?

David: Yep! Well, not as a magician but as a dancer, I was totally sloppy and I got booed off the stage but I tried my best.

Coco: And another thing. Why don't you try something else besides magic? I've seen you fool around computers. You can try to be a computer wiz just like me.

Max: Well, sweetheart I guess you're right.

David: Go for it my boy.

Max: Thanks dad. This means a lot to me.

Coco: Well, even though nobody liked you as a magician (hugs Max) you are my favorite magician. (kisses Max)

Max: Thanks sweetheart! I feel better now!

Crash, Tawna, and Crunch come outside.

Crash: Are you OK man?

Max: I'm fine.

David: Let's go home.

Max: That's a good idea pops!

Crunch: Now I'll take over as magician.

Crash: (hits Crunch with his elbow) Crunch!!!! You'll hurt his feelings.

Max: Thanks! But I better do other good things besides doing magic.

Tawna: How about ventriloquist?

Max: NO!!!

Crunch: How about juggling.

Max: NAAAA

Crash: How about magic again.

Max: I don't think so!

(All laughing)
