Charlie Brown decides that Snoopy needs to educate himself, and gives him his library card to check out a few books. Snoopy takes out a book about magic and performs a magic show as "The Great Houndini." He ends the show by making Charlie Brown disappear. A sudden rainstorm ends the show early, and Charlie Brown is left invisible. Snoopy tries several ideas to make him visible again, including draping a sheet over him, which only scares Charlie Brown when he looks in the mirror and sees what he thinks is a ghost.
Charlie Brown realizes he has a golden opportunity to kick Lucy's football without her knowing. Charlie Brown finally succeeds in kicking the football four times and taunts her about it. Furious, Lucy threatens Snoopy into bringing back Charlie Brown.
Snoopy manages to bring Charlie Brown back after blindly shooting his invisibility counter spell in an attempt to find him. Charlie Brown turns back to normal while he attempts to kick Lucy's football again before she pulls it away at the last second. Regardless, Charlie Brown is happy that he finally kicked the football, although Lucy says no one will believe him. Charlie Brown says that Snoopy will believe him since he made it possible for him. When Lucy scoffs at Snoopy, the insulted beagle magically levitates Lucy into the sky, and leaves her stuck there as payback until Linus pulls her down with his blanket during the credits. After being brought down by Linus, a defeated and humiliated Lucy walks home.
It's Magic, Charlie Brown was released on DVD on September 2, 2008, as a bonus feature on Warner Home Video's remaster of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.[3]
