Go To

Kaeloo buys a stage magic kit. The main four use it to put on a magic show.


"Let's Play Magicians" contains the following tropes:

  • Advanced Tech 2000: Subverted. Kaeloo buys a magic kit labeled "Magic 2000", but it is later revealed that it is named that way because the kit actually has 2000 pieces in it.
  • Arbitrary Skepticism: Kaeloo and Mr. Cat don't believe in magic despite living in a world that literally runs on magic.
  • Bungled Suicide: Stumpy tries to hang himself by standing on a stool, tying a rope to a branch and around his neck. and jumping off. The rope he uses is too long, so he safely lands on the ground.
  • Driven to Suicide: After finding out that magic isn't real, Stumpy is so upset that he attempts to hang himself. Of course, he fails.
  • Insane Troll Logic: Stumpy's reasoning about what really exists and what doesn't.
    Stumpy: "Life is magical, life is magical." How many times have I heard that? But if magic doesn't exist... then life itself doesn't exist!
  • Misleading Package Size: Kaeloo receives a giant box with nothing inside but a top hat and magic wand. The box was supposed to contain 2000 pieces, and it comes with a note that says she has to use the top hat and wand to magically get the other 1998 pieces. Mr. Cat realizes that Kaeloo has been scammed.
  • Pull a Rabbit out of My Hat: Stumpy tries to do this. It fails because he thought magic was real and didn't have a trick prepared.
  • Rule of Three: Stumpy tries pulling a rabbit out of his hat three times before Kaeloo intervenes.
