All you do is eat and sleep.
l want you to get some education.
Here's my library card.
Why don't you go down there
and take out a few books?
lt's time you learned how to do something
besides eating and sleeping.
[lNAUDlBLE DlALOGUE]
[LAUGHlNG]
The owner of a cat next door just called.
He complained about the racket
you two were making.
He says it's upsetting his cat...
...and for you two to stop this racket.
What's this about a magic show,
Charlie Brown?
Snoopy found a book about magic
at the library.
-And now he's going to give us a show?
-That's right.
He's built a stage and everything.
[CHATTERlNG]
[PlANO PLAYS]
lt gives me great pleasure to introduce...
...in his first show ever...
...one of the world's great magicians.
None other than the Great Houndini.
[AUDlENCE CHEERlNG
AND APPLAUDlNG]
[AUDlENCE LAUGHlNG]
Fake. Fake. That's no rabbit. Fake. Fake.
That's no rabbit.
We want our money back.
Robbery. Robbery. Ha-ha.
What a fake act.
And now, ladies and gentlemen...
...the Great Houndini will attempt
the famous ring trick.
Yeah, yeah. lt's a robbery.
Now let's see you take them apart.
[LAUGHlNG]
Fake. Fake.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fake, fake, fake.
The Great Houndini will now attempt
the great stick-in-the-hole trick.
We need a volunteer from the audience.
Me, me. l wanna volunteer.
Please step up to the stage.
The box, please.
Please note...
...when the Great Houndini
plunges the stick through the hole...
...it penetrates completely
through the box.
Now l will ask the volunteer
to step into the box.
Quiet, everybody...
...while the Great Houndini
performs that fantastic trick.
Ow!
[AUDlENCE LAUGHlNG]
Attention, attention.
We will need another fearless volunteer.
Boy, not me.
l think l fit the description.
l'll go up there
and help my good friend Snoopy.
Very good, my friend.
lf you will just step
into the magic closet...
...we will amaze the audience.
Watch carefully, please.
[GRO ANlNG]
Hey, hey. Get me out of this.
[CLATTERlNG]
PATTY:
Oh! Ooh! Ah!
Hey, get me out.
Hey, get me out.
Hey. Help. Help.
And now, for your amazement...
...the Great Houndini
will give a display of telepathy.
Our assistant will go into the audience...
...and select personal objects.
The Great Houndini will try to name
each and every object.
[WHlSPERlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY]
that the object is a very pretty beanie.
And now, great magician,
what is the young lady holding?
[WHlSPERlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY]
is a watch on a chain.
Oh! Wow.
How's he do that?
Now for the next trick...
...we need the cooperation
of the audience.
We need another volunteer
to lend us a piece of clothing.
-Here, we'll give this to the magician.
-No!
Give it back, give it back.
Don't worry, sweetie.
lt won't hurt your blanket.
MARClE:
The Great Houndini will cut upthis blanket into many pieces...
...and then, before your very eyes,
he will make it all come back together.
[YELLS]
[AUDlENCE APPLAUDlNG
AND LAUGHlNG]
[YELLS]
Quiet. Quiet, while
the Great Houndini readies himself.
l wonder what this trick is going to be.
We would like another volunteer
for the great levitation trick.
Wow.
MARClE:
Before your very eyes...
...the Great Houndini
will raise a person into the air.
Boy, l'd like to try that.
Great. We have a volunteer.
Please come up, madam.
Just lie here on that table.
Does he know what he's doing?
He must have absolute quiet.
The Great Houndini
demands absolute quiet.
l hope he knows what he's doing.
Oh.
[AUDlENCE APPLAUDlNG]
[AUDlENCE LAUGHlNG]
MARClE:
And now, for the best trick of all.
The Great Houndini will now perform
the great disappearing act.
This calls for another volunteer
from the audience.
Boy, l volunteered once.
Maybe you should go this time,
Charlie Brown.
Me?
Yes. The gentleman who just said me.
Please come forward.
-Me?
-Yes, yes.
The gentleman with the large,
round head.
Please come right up.
Let me introduce you
to the Great Houndini.
Blanket, please.
[DRUM ROLLS]
AUDlENCE:
Wow! Oh!
[AUDlENCE APPLAUDlNG]
Good grief. Rain.
CHARLlE:
lt's raining. Where did everybody go?
What about me?
[CHARLlE BREATHlNG]
-l hear breathing.
CHARLlE:
lt's me.Yipe!
Who's me?
Me, your brother.
My dog made me invisible.
No one can see me, even when l'm here.
Go like this:
[CHARLlE lMlTATES SALLY]
Stomp your feet up and down.
[STOMPlNG]
-Say, ''Rats.''
-Rats.
-Say, ''l can't stand it.''
-l can't stand it.
lt's you, all right.
There's no place in this world
for someone who's invisible.
l'm doomed to walk the earth
as a lost soul.
lf you're a lost soul, big brother,
can l have your room?
CHARLlE:
l guess before l roam the worldas a lost soul, l should feed my dog.
Good grief.
Hey, Snoopy. Supper time.
[SHRlEKS]
See what you did to me?
You and your stupid magic show.
You made me invisible.
l can't see my own fingers.
l don't even know where my own feet are.
You're the magician.
Make me visible again.
Bring me back.
A lot of good that did.
l'm still invisible and now l'm all wet.
Now what are you doing?
l feel like a chocolate chip cookie.
l'll say it again: Now what are you doing?
[SCREAMS]
[SCREAMS]
Linus, have you seen Charlie Brown?
