Picture	Segment	Description
	COLD OPEN	The Great Groverini tries to magically make a rabbit appear from his hat, but nothing seems to work. The cranky rabbit tells him to keep it down; she's trying to sleep. (First: Episode 4623)
	SCENE 1	Chris serves snacks to Big Bird, Elmo and Rosita, then welcomes the viewer to Sesame Street. Elmo asks for a banana, to which Chris replies "You just said the magic word!" -- which cues the grand entrance of Max the Magician (Will Arnett), who has some "real" magic tricks to display ...
	SCENE 1 cont'd	For his first trick, Max produces two scarves, then another one, making them three scarves. Everyone is amazed and wants to know how he did the trick - except for Chris, who already knows. Max doubts that Chris knows his secrets, but Chris explains that the "trick" was done using something called "addition." He demonstrates it himself by adding one and two glasses of milk to make three.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Max has another trick up his sleeve: he displays five cards, then makes each of them disappear, one by one, by "discarding" them, until they become zero cards. Once again, Chris is able to explain the trick with something called "subtraction," using straws to demonstrate.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Max has one more trick, which he needs a volunteer for: he displays a rope, which Big Bird holds one end of, and turns it into two pieces, by cutting it with a pair of scissors. To Max's great detriment, Big Bird figures out that the trick was done with something called "division," and tries it on one of his birdseed breadsticks.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Max has no more tricks up his sleeve, but he vows to return one day with some tricks that will really impress everyone. With a whirl of his cape, he poofs out of sight -- a trick which not even Chris can figure out!
