Stories and art by R. R. Symes and others. Based on a popular kids' puppet show broadcast on CBS from 1948-51 about a sinister but bumbling magician and his loyal but good-hearted assistant, Pinhead. Foodini's latest invention, the "Futuro-scope" (which looks like an early TV set), is damaged by Pinhead just before the judges of the magic contest arrive. Monkey Doodles the organ-grinder's monkey is such a hit with the kids that he decides to try out for television, but the organ grinder warns him that TV is a harsh mistress. Professor Max and his assistant villain make magical mischief for Foodini, but Foodini's latest invention "Atomic Food" knocks them for a loop. Magic tricks explained by Foodini.
