"Magician: Impossible" is the second segment of the twenty-second episode of the Disney Channel animated series Hailey's On It!
Synopsis[]
When a popular magician's tricks are exposed, Hailey must find the perpetrator.
Plot[]
Hailey, Scott, and Beta attend the Magic Mansion to see Barbara "Babs Cadabs" Cadabra perform her magic act. When Beta explains that he does not believe in magic, Scott reveals that he was once a great magician, but a past incident involving him accidentally causing a vending machine to disappear and not reappear forced him to give it up. The three are surprised to see A.C. also attending due to the fact that his parents helped fund the opening of the Magic Mansion and thus he has free tickets. Despite admitting that he finds magic beneath him, he attends anyway just so he can take advantage of the perks, though Hailey and Scott openly do not care.
Babs performs, but suddenly stops when she looks nervous. When Hailey and Scott go to check on her, they discover that someone has been taking photos of her show and posting them online with explanations as to how they work. Hailey tells Babs that the culprit is most likely A.C., but they cannot boot him because of his parents and need proof. Hailey decides to take over for Babs, but her magic tricks are pathetic. Scott and Beta try to pick up proof of A.C.'s actions which they find out is on his phone. Scott is finally coaxed into performing magic where he wows the crowd. However, he accidentally causes Beta to disappear when he hides in a hat.
Nervous about causing Beta to disappear, Hailey urges Scott to finish the act. He successfully brings Beta back, along with the vending machine. Hailey deduces that the images that A.C. has been taking depict an overhead view. She announces to the crowd that A.C. has been accomplishing the images by having installed cameras into the ceiling fans of the show. Scott reveals that he snatched A.C.'s phone to further prove his dubious act. A.C. is booted from the theater as Babs thanks Hailey and Scott for helping retain her reputation. She then has the two help her in closing out the magic show.
