Cregg Demon said that he is going to present it at his next magic show, the "World Magic Championship", and says Houdini's ghost told him in a dream. Raymondo, upset, tells Lisa to get out. Lisa tries to stop doing magic. Soon after, Raymondo forgives her. At the magic show, some other magicians replace the fake milkcan with a real one so that Cregg Demon cannot get out.
