Pinhead and Foodini #2

Foodini and his assistant Pinhead sneak into the circus to catch a free show, but end up caught by the circus owner—who forces them to work off their debt as circus hands. When the Wild Boy, the circus's most ferocious attraction, escapes from his cage, Pinhead attempts a daring rescue that sends him on a wild chase through the big top. It's a comedy of errors where one mishap leads to another in true slapstick fashion.

Monkey Doodles dreams of owning a bicycle, but when Uncle Gypsy rents him out to a wealthy child for fifty dollars—enough to buy that very bike—the young performer finds himself trapped in a fancy estate, dressed in dolly clothes and guarded by watchdogs. After a daring escape attempt, Monkey Doodles discovers the truth behind his uncle's seemingly heartless deal, learning that friendship and honesty matter more than any possession.

When Foodini's constant requests for help making decisions leave him exhausted, the self-proclaimed genius hatches a scheme to build a decision-making machine and charge people five cents to use it. With Pinhead reluctantly gathering materials and his arch-enemy Max the Magician watching from the shadows, Foodini must overcome broken promises, empty piggy banks, and the sheer chaos of turning his half-baked plans into reality. It's a madcap race to see whether Foodini's latest invention will actually work—or if it'll blow up in everyone's face.

Foodini teaches readers three clever magic tricks they can perform themselves: making a playing card stay atop a glass of water, arranging four fives to add up to sixteen, and magically restoring a cut string to one piece. Each trick comes with simple, illustrated instructions so you can amaze your friends with these deceptive illusions.
