* FromBadToWorse: Morty brings a bunch of animated figures to life who start mucking around and causing trouble. Daphne tells him that [[RealityEnsues they can't have this many people onstage for the long term]] and asks him to change them back. He seems to succeed with a printing press trick, but the animated figures use the press to summon ''more'' people from paintings.

Added DiffLines:
''Morty the Magnificent'' was a former show on Disney Cruise Lines and a stage musical performed. It premiered in 2002 but has since been retired.
Morty is a failed magician, who wins audiences over by how terrible he is. His girlfriend and partner Daphne wants to help; she makes a wish on her birthday that he can do great tricks. HilarityEnsues when the tricks start going right.
!! Tropes for this include:
* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Morty was EndearinglyDorky before but he grabs the JerkassBall when his tricks start going right. He snaps out of it when doing Houdini's water escape because Daphne said if he went through with it, she'd break up with him. Morty then goes to Daphne to apologize for prioritizing magic over her feelings.
* AngerBornOfWorry: Daphne is furious that Morty wants to do the underwater escape trick, something that nearly drowned Houdini a few times because he has never rehearsed it. She tells him if he goes through with it and survives, their relationship is over.
* DeuxExMachina: Mickey Mouse shows up at the end to restore the formerly animated figures to their statue forms, and to fix everything that Morty messed up.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Morty at the end of the play doesn't care if he's no longer a great magician. He seeks out Daphne, apologizes to her, and says that she is more important than magic to him. Mickey Mouse then shows up to undo all of the tricks gone right and wrong, making the ending unequivocally happy.
* EpicFail: At the start of the show, Morty tries to pull a rabbit out of a hat, but ends up with various fruits instead. It ends with a pineapple. Given the seamstress's nonchalance about asking if it was a pineapple again, it's happened before.
* FromBadToWorse: Morty brings a bunch of animated figures to life who start mucking around and causing trouble. Daphne tells him that [[RealityEnsues they can't have this many people onstage for the long term]] and asks him to change them back. He seems to succeed with a printing press trick, but the animated figures use the press to summon ''more'' people from paintings.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Daphne wishes for Morty to be a great magician on her birthday. It works, but soon the power goes to his head when the formerly animated figures tell him he doesn't need Daphne.
* ImpossiblyTackyOutfit: The seamstress wears a frilly purple dress when asked to do the "sawed-in-half" trick. Morty even comments on it. asking where she got the outift.
* MakeAWish: The stagehands remind Daphne it's her birthday and surprise her with a cake. She selflessly blows out the candles while asking for Morty to become a great magician. Suffice to say, it works.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Daphne tells Morty her wish before he tries the underwater escape trick, which freaks out the stagehands because they're worried it will break the magic and Morty is in real danger of drowning. Despite this, Morty pulls off the trick flawlessly. It's unknown if the wish was never broken, or if Morty was able to focus during a dangerous stunt.
* NiceGuy: Guys rather. The stagehands remind Daphne that it's her birthday when even she and Morty forgot. They surprise her with a cake.
* SawAWomanInHalf: Daphne absolutely refuses to pull this trick. She has a point since it's potentially dangerous. Morty recruits the seamstress to do it instead, and she shows up in a puffy purple dress. The trick starts off fine, but then the seamstress's legs run off without her and become a RunningGag (no pun intended) for the rest of the show.
