John Popodiuk designed this magical game with artwork penned by
Linda Deal. 6,600 units were manufactured. This game is always in the
top 10 machines in collectibility. The magic trunk is the centerpiece of the
playfield. Its multifunctional sides rotate according to the storyline of the
machine at the time. Eight illusions are to be collected in a typical game.
This is one of four requirements needed to complete the grand finale stage
of the game. Advancing the clock to midnight by shooting the right-side
lane 12 times or hitting the captive ball completes this feature. Multiball
must be made at the trunk to complete the third part of the puzzle. The last
issue is completing the word “theater” by certain ramp shots. Grand finale
is tough to achieve but a neat show awaits you. Vanish is another feature
that makes a ball disappear when shot up the left-side ramp; the ball
reappears when the right ramp is made.
