S2E11 The Tale of the Magician's Assistant

Todd, a young boy grieving his father's death, finally pursues his dream of magic. He becomes the apprentice of the renowned magician Shandu, where he discovers the essential principles of the craft: control the audience's perception, never handle another magician's wand unless permitted, and avoid getting trapped by your own reflection. However, chaos arises when Todd makes a reckless choice to take Shandu's wand and use it for his own purposes.
