Joseph A. Doakes goes into a toy shop looking for a gift for his 12-year-old son, and the clerk shows him a box of magic tricks. After a store employee demonstrates several of them, Doakes purchases the box - as well as a larger, more advanced set - and starts demonstrating them for his son, who has low expectations for this display and is totally bored. For some unknown reason, the tricks worked better in the store than they do at home, even though instructions are included. When one trick actually works, Doakes is pleasantly startled by the outcome. In the final trick, Doakes makes himself disappear. Where he ends up after the trick is over must remain a mystery until you see this short film.
