!!The episode provides examples of:
* AdaptationalHeroism: The stage magician Amaz-O was a jerkass in the book. In the TV version, he's much nicer, and the real villain is his rival.
* AdaptationNameChange: In the book version, Amaz-O was turned into a rabbit by an evil sorcerer named Frank. The TV version changes his rival's name to El Sydney.
* AdaptedOut: In the book, Amaz-O had a man-sized puppet made to look like his human self that performed for him while he was the rabbit used in the act. In the episode, the puppet doesn't exist; Amaz-O performed as himself, and the rabbit used in the act is his transformed rival El Sydney.
* AscendedExtra: The evil magician Frank, who's only mentioned in the book version, actually appears in the TV episode and is [[AdaptationNameChange renamed as El Sydney]].
* AskAStupidQuestion: When Tim is looking for a magic wand to bring El Sydney back as a human, he asks him what it looks like. He gets a snarky response from him.
* DramaticDrop: When El Sydney actually speaks to him in rabbit form, Tim's first reaction is to drop him on the floor, much to his annoyance.
* GiveMeASign: When he sees his sister apparently transformed into a rabbit, Tim tells "her" to show him a sign. "She" responds by actually talking back in a masculine voice.
* LamePunReaction:
** When El Sydney shows a couple rabbits [[spoiler: (actually a transformed Tim and Amaz-O)]] if their heads would be chopped off by guillotine, he asks the audience if they want to see him "split hares." The audience just exchange exasperated looks.
** Averted with Amaz-O's show. When he sees the rabbit that he's using is fidgeting, he asks him if he's having a [[TitleDrop bad hare day]], the audience responds by laughing.
* VariationsOnAThemeSong: During the credits for the episode, the usual ''Goosebumps'' theme tune is played in a more campy carnival tune instead of a spooky tune.

Tim Swanson loves magic tricks. Someday he wants to be a real stage magician, just like his hero Amaz-O. Unfortunately, his parents don't approve, and his bratty little sister keeps ruining his act when he tries to perform for the neighborhood kids.
Then one day, Tim scores tickets to one of Amaz-O's shows, but in return for the magician's rudeness, he ends up swiping his idol's bag of tricks. And soon, he discovers the magic may not be so staged...
It was adapted into the fourth episode of the second season of [[Series/{{Goosebumps}} the TV series]], with a novelization based on the episode being released as book 10 of the ''Goosebumps Presents'' series.

!!The episode provides examples of:
* AdaptationalHeroism: The stage magician Amaz-O was a jerkass in the book. In the TV version, he's much nicer, and the real villain is his rival.
* AdaptationNameChange: In the book version, Amaz-O was turned into a rabbit by an evil sorcerer named Frank. The TV version changes his rival's name to El Sydney.
* AdaptedOut: In the book, Amaz-O had a man-sized puppet made to look like his human self that performed for him while he was the rabbit used in the act. In the episode, the puppet doesn't exist; Amaz-O performed as himself, and the rabbit used in the act is his transformed rival El Sydney.
* AscendedExtra: The evil magician Frank, who's only mentioned in the book version, actually appears in the TV episode and is [[AdaptationNameChange renamed as El Sydney]].
Tim Swanson loves magic tricks. Someday he wants to be a real stage magician, just like his hero Amaz-O. Unfortunately, his parents don't approve, and his bratty little sister keeps ruining his act when he tries to perform for the neighborhood kids.
Then one day, Tim scores tickets to one of Amaz-O's shows, but in return for the magician's rudeness, he ends up swiping his idol's bag of tricks. And soon, he discovers the magic may not be so staged...
It was adapted into the fourth episode of the second season of [[Series/{{Goosebumps}} the TV series]], with a novelization based on the episode being released as book 10 of the ''Goosebumps Presents'' series.
