It's Magic Time

It's Magic Time is the tenth episode of Season 2.

Plot
Dennis is performing a magic show for Margaret and Joey. Dennis got the kit from his grandfather. Margaret argues that Max the Magnificent is a better magician than Dennis, and Joey says Dennis can prove otherwise. Dennis tries the "bunny out of a magic hat" trick by saying "Hocus Pocus", only to pull his frog Willy out, which Margaret points out. Dennis searches his magic book for the right page.

Next, Willy jumps on Joey's head, and then Margaret's head. Margaret, upon seeing Willy on her head, screams and runs off to hide in a trash can. She yells at Dennis for this. Dennis comes to the trash can, and Margaret tells Dennis to keep Willy away from her or else, but Dennis tries to calm her down by preparing a trick he hopes she'll like.

Dennis gets out a box to use to transform a carrot, which he really hates, into something he really loves. Margaret hopes Dennis will turn the carrot into her, to which Dennis denies. After uttering the words "Hocus Pocus Dominocus", he opens the box and the carrot turns into a pizza. Dennis gives the pizza to Joey, only for it to turn back into a carrot. Margaret still thinks Max the Magnificent is better, only for Dennis and Joey to check him out.

While at the magic show, Max the Magnificent comes out on stage to perform his magic. Margaret knows that Dennis will see some real magic. Max holds out a carrot and does the same carrot-to-pizza magic trick Dennis performed earlier. Dennis says so, only for Margaret to say this pizza has anchovies on it, much to Joey's disgust. Dennis comes out and says that the trick is on Page 48 of the magic book.

After hearing what Dennis said, the audience laughs. Max tries to push Dennis off, so he can perform his next trick; Pull a rabbit out of his hat, and succeeds in doing so. Dennis tells Max that he's hurting the bunny by squeezing his ears together. This prompts the rabbit to bite Max's hand. Max puts the rabbit back in the hat and swears revenge on him after the show.

Margaret is shocked by what Max is doing to the rabbit, giving Dennis an idea to help it. Max needs a volunteer for his next trick, and Dennis agrees to do just that. The trick is; Disappearing Kid. Dennis goes into the cabinet, Max closes it, and then, utters the word "Abracadabra", little knowing Dennis is holding onto a railing above the cabinet, knowing the trick is on Page 56. The trap door opens.

Max opens the door, only to find Dennis still there. Dennis figures that Max was sent the same magic book as him. Max attempts to get Dennis, only to fall down the trap door Dennis was supposed to fall down. Everyone cheers and laughs. Joey cheers, only for Margaret to stop him, because he would only encourage Dennis. Dennis gets the rabbit out of Max's hat and the rabbit bounces around.

Once Max gets out of the trap door, the rabbit bounces toward him and kisses him on the nose. An angry Max takes his anger out on Dennis for ruining his magic show and tries to get him. Dennis takes Max's wand, hoping the disappearing trick works. Dennis wonders if it's "Abracadabra" on Page 13, "Hocus Pocus" on Page 74, or "Alakazam" on Page 49.

As Max corners Dennis at last, the rabbit holds its back foot out to trip Max, and cause him to fall down the same trap door. This leads to the audience cheering. Joey tries to show Margaret that Dennis is a better magician than Max, only for Margaret to brush it off as dumb luck because of the rabbit's foot.

When Dennis comes home, he shows Alice the magic hat and Max's rabbit. Dennis wants to keep him, promising he won't be any trouble. But Dennis broke his promise by letting numerous bunnies out of the hat.

Trivia

 * Margaret hoping Dennis would turn the carrot into her being the something "Dennis really loves" gives further hints that Margaret has a crush on him.
 * The last word in Dennis' carrot-to-pizza spell "Hocus Pocus Dominocus" may be a shout out to the pizza store chain, Domino's Pizza, now known as Domino's.
