Picture	Segment	Description
	COLD OPEN	Big Bird introduces the Amazing Mumford, who will be performing a special trick with an energetic dog (Peter Linz) where they change personalities.
	SCENE 1	Mumford reiterates to Big Bird how his trick will work: he will become the dog, and the dog will become him. With a wave of his wand, the trick works as planned: Mumford's voice and personality emit from the dog, while Mumford's voice and mannerisms involve typical dog behavior. He tries reversing the trick, but since the dog now inhabits Mumford’s body, he acts as if the wand is a bone or a toy and runs off with it. Big Bird and the dog-Mumford chase after him.
