# Boj! Together the fun will never end

# Boj! Together we are making you a friend

# Boj! A-boom! The fun will never end! #

Boo! I'm Boj.

I wonder who's playing in Giggly Park today.

Wow!

And I wonder what that wowing is about.

Behold...

One perfectly normal empty box. See?

And now, say the magic word.

ALL: Alacazam, alacazing.

DRUM ROLL

-Ta-da!

-TOGETHER: Wow!

What are you doing, Mr Cloppity?

Hello, Boj. I'm performing one of my magic tricks.

Mr Cloppity's amazing.

He's brilliant and super and really, really magicky.

How does he do it?

I want to do a magic trick too.

Bojity-boo!

-I can't find an apple, Mr Cloppity.

-Oh-ho-ho, Boj.

Magic tricks take a lot of practice to get right.

When I was younger, I practised every day for my magic shows.

-You did magic shows?

-Oh, yes.

People came from miles around to see the Amazing Cloppity.

And his famous vanishing box finale.

Dear Paloma, my assistant, she entered the vanishing box.

And then, she was gone.

Oh, my dear Paloma.

-I want to see the Amazing Cloppity.

-Me too!

-Oh, that was so long ago.

-Please, Mr Cloppity.

-I really can't remember.

-Besides, I'd need my assistant to help me.

-I can be that.

But, I...

-GULP!

-Oh, dear.

For one night only, the Amazing Cloppity.

MIA LAUGHS

Hmm.

That's better.

HONK!

Hi, Denzil, what can I do for you?

Mr Cloppity is being a magician tonight

and Boj is his assistant. Do you and Pops want to come?

I wouldn't miss it for the world. What about you, Pops?

Count me in too, Denzil.

Now, Boj, an assistant helps a magician do magic tricks.

So, I may ask you to hand me things, like...

my magic wand.

-It's the black stick with two white ends.

-Huh? Oh, right.

Hand it me with a bit of pizzazz. You know, dance about a bit.

BOJ GIGGLES

Ta-da! Like that, Mr Amazing Cloppity?

Well...yes. Yes, just like that.

Ooh, are you going to do your big box vanishing trick too?

Er, I think not.

I can't risk it. Not again.

-HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

-Behold, the magic rings.

-The magic rings, please, Boj.

-Oh, okey dokey!

Ta-da! I can't wait until tonight, Mr Amazing Cloppity.

-Me neither.

-GULP!

THE AUDIENCE CHATTERS

-Hiya, Boj.

-Hi, Boj!

I wonder if this is going to be any good.

G'day! Do you want to see some magic?

-AUDIENCE: Yes!

-Yeah, we sure do, Bojjy boy.

Then here he is, Mr Amazing Cloppity!

THE AUDIENCE CHEERS

Behold...the magic rings.

-Ta-da!

-Why thank you, assistant Boj.

I shall now do the impossible and separate the magic rings.

Yes! The...

The magic, bothersome...rings.

BOTH: Awkward.

MR CLOPPITY STRUGGLES

The impossible magic rings, thank you.

My top hat, please, assistant Boj.

-Ta-da!

-Thank you.

I shall now pull a teddy bear from this top hat.

AUDIENCE: Oooooo!

DRUM ROLL

Alacazam, alacazing!

Behold, one teddy bear.

QUACK!

THE AUDIENCE LAUGHS

-That's a funny teddy bear, Mr Amazing Cloppity.

-Hm?

Ah! Ooh! Er, I wondered where I'd put that.

Isn't that a duck?

-Was that supposed to happen like that?

-Shame.

Oh, dear, this Cloppity isn't very amazing, is he?

You could always do your big box vanishing trick.

Oh, I think not, Boj. Poor, dear Paloma.

-Besides, I don't have a vanishing box.

-Hmm.

I've just had a Boj-a-boom idea.

I'll be right back. Bye!

Umm...pick a card, Dr Woof?

We need to make Mr Cloppity's magic show amazing again

and I've got an idea that will give it a Bojitty-boom finale.

Let's get Boj-ing!

Hmm. Mmm. I've got a vanishing box, now I just need to make it magicky.

Ta-da!

Huh...

Still using the power of my mind,

I shall tell you what is on the card.

-Is it a duck?

-Uh, no.

-A tree?

-No.

-Car?

-No.

-Sunflower?

-No.

-Banana?

-No.

-Big banana?

-No!

-Are you sure?

It's getting late. Time we were getting Gavin to bed.

-Oh, yes, good idea. Come on, Mia.

-Ohh!

-Are you sure it's not a banana?

-MR WOOF SIGHS

Don't disappear yet.

You're going to miss Mr Amazing Cloppity's big finale trick.

-Can we stay and watch, Mum, please?

-OK.

THEY WHISPER

I really don't think...

Ladies, gentlemen and children,

it is now time for the big box vanishing trick.

-AUDIENCE: Oooooo!

-Ooh, er...

Assistant Boj, enter the box, please.

Bye!

I shall now make assistant Boj...disappear.

Alacazam, alacazing. Behold!

-G'day!

-THEY ALL GASP

Oh, I say. Um...

I shall now make assistant Boj...reappear?

Alacazam, alacazing.

Hi!

-Huh?

-Wow!

-Wow!

-THEY CLAP

Oh, well I never!

I...haven't a clue what's going to happen next. Alacazam, alacazing.

-Boo!

-Hey hey!

-Hey hey!

MR WOOF: Now that's magic!

Boj, they loved it. What a wonderful trick you did.

You were amazing, Mr Cloppity.

-# It's fun to think when your brain goes...

-Boo!

# Up pops a thought and it's all brand-new
