Goofs

The escapist magician is referred to as Kandinski by his wife, David and Maddie, as well as a large sign on stage proclaiming him "The Great Kandinski", but when David and Maddie knock on Mrs. Kandinski's front door the door placard reads "Kanoinsky". This is the only reference to the name "Kanoinsky" in the episode.
