Taking advantage of a newly acquired magic tricks kit, Snoopy decides to put on a magic act. For the finale, he turns Charlie Brown invisible, but he can't change him back right away. While Snoopy searches for the counter spell, Charlie Brown struggles with this bizarre problem, but realizes that he has a golden opportunity to finally kick Lucy's football. —Kenneth Chisholm <kchishol@execulink.com>

Trivia
The only Peanuts special where Charlie Brown kicks the ball out of Lucy's hand.

Goofs
When Charlie turns invisible, the Great Houndini pokes the spot where he was standing with his wand, and it goes through thin air. But Charlie is invisible, not intangible, so the wand would have bumped into him and given the game away.

Quotes
Charlie Brown: [after Charlie Brown gets done kicking the football away from Lucy three times]
[Sarcastically]
Charlie Brown: What's the matter?
[He approaches her carrying the football, and walks around her]
Charlie Brown: Did you lose something? Is this yours?
[Throws the football point blank into her chest on "yours". She expresses anger silently, then puts the ball back down in a teed-up position accidentally. Just when she realized how the ball was placed, it gets kicked away from her again]
Charlie Brown: Ha-ha, ha-ha, ha, ha!

Crazy credits
As the credits begin with Lucy still magically floating in the air, Linus walks by and uses his blanket to pull her down.

Top review

Good C.B. fun

Snoopy gets a magic book at the library & puts on a magic show. He's, "The Great Houndini." Some of his tricks work and some don't. He cuts up Linus' blanket & it should "magically" go back together, but it doesn't. Then he makes Charlie Brown invisible and can't change him back. The invisible C.B. screws with Lucy & actually kicks the football. Lucy tells Snoopy to make C.B. reappear. Somehow Snoopy gets "magical powers" to bring C.B. back & Lucy says he may not have kicked the ball - no one else saw it. Snoopy levitates Lucy & leaves her up there.

Good C.B. fun for all ages. A must see.
