Synopsis

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.
