	SCENE 1	Maria and Luis welcome the viewer in Spanish, then Big Bird - or rather, "The Amazing Birdford," greets them. Big Bird has borrowed the Amazing Mumford's magic kit and is learning how to become a magician. He asks them if he can try out his disappearing trick on something, and they let him try it on a trash can. It doesn't disappear, not even when he tries saying the magic words in Spanish. Big Bird goes off to practice some more, and Maria and Luis notice that their tools are missing ...
