Ben is a teenager who dreams of becoming a magician. He tries magic tricks at home but fails to make anything happen. His parents receive an email from his school saying he is not doing homework or paying attention in class. At dinner, his parents confront him about his schoolwork and take away his magic supplies until he passes his A-levels exams. As a final trick, Ben makes his parents disappear under his cloak, seemingly succeeding at magic for the first time.
