Based on ''Literature/BadHareDay'', book #41 of the original ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'' series.

Tim loves stage magic, and idolizes stage magician Amaz-O. But when he attends the magician's show, he learns that magic can be very real, and very dangerous.

!!The episode provides examples of:

* AdaptationalHeroism: The stage magician Amaz-O was a jerkass in the book. In the TV version, he's much nicer, and the real villain is his rival.
* AdaptationNameChange: In the book version, Amaz-O was turned into a rabbit by an evil sorcerer named Frank. The TV version changes his rival's name to El Sydney.
* AdaptedOut: In the book, Amaz-O had a man-sized puppet made to look like his human self that performed for him while he was the rabbit used in the act. In the episode, the puppet doesn't exist; Amaz-O performed as himself, and the rabbit used in the act is his transformed rival El Sydney.
* AscendedExtra: The evil magician Frank, who's only mentioned in the book version, actually appears in the TV episode and is [[AdaptationNameChange renamed as El Sydney]].
* AskAStupidQuestion: When Tim is looking for a magic wand to bring El Sydney back as a human, he asks him what it looks like. He gets a snarky response from him.
* DramaticDrop: When El Sydney actually speaks to him in rabbit form, Tim's first reaction is to drop him on the floor, much to his annoyance.
* GiveMeASign: When he sees his sister apparently transformed into a rabbit, Tim tells "her" to show him a sign. "She" responds by actually talking back in a masculine voice.
* LamePunReaction:
** When El Sydney shows a couple rabbits [[spoiler: (actually a transformed Tim and Amaz-O)]] if their heads would be chopped off by guillotine, he asks the audience if they want to see him "split hares." The audience just exchange exasperated looks.
** Averted with Amaz-O's show. When he sees the rabbit that he's using is fidgeting, he asks him if he's having a [[TitleDrop bad hare day]], the audience responds by laughing.
* VariationsOnAThemeSong: During the credits for the episode, the usual ''Goosebumps'' theme tune is played in a more campy carnival tune instead of a spooky tune.
