When an old wizard seems to have lost faith in the existence of magic, Mike thinks he can prove him wrong - if he can just find a leprechaun he met years ago, one night at a bar. Along the way, Mike manages to beat up an illusionist and an actor, in separate incidents. In the end, Mike learns you don't need to find a leprechaun, because there's a leprechaun inside of us all.
This episode contains the following tropes:
- Arbitrary Skepticism: Mike is the only member of the team who believes in magic, despite the fact that the Marquess is a ghost, and Pigeon was transformed by his ex-wife.Pigeon: I think I would have just transformed into a pigeon on my own.
- Art Shift: The Wizard's flashback about his poker playing past is shown in the style of Schoolhouse Rock!. It is later revealed to be an elaborate comic book placed on the back of his initial note because he presumed Mike was illiterate.
- Genre Deconstruction: The show deconstructs the whole "going to places to solve mysteries for free" thing when Mike points out that him solving mysteries isn't profitable to him. When the Wizard needs one million dollars to participate in a poker game, Mike, despite being a famous retired boxer, doesn't have that type of money.Mike: I don't have a million dollars. In fact, I don't even think I can afford to keep solving mysteries, you guys. Huh. Man, I gotta get a real job.
- Stopped Reading Too Soon: Mike receives a message from an old Wizard asking if magic is real. When Mike finds the Old Wizard working in a parking garage, he assumes it must be magic if he was able to find him by chance until the Old Wizard points out that he told Mike where to meet him in his message. When Mike correctly guesses the Old Wizard's backstory, he also assumes it must be magic until the Old Wizard points out again that he included his backstory, in comic form, in his message.
