In the Camp Camp episode "Mind Freakers", Camp Campbell's resident illusionist performs a trick so mindbending that the camp's lover of science, Neil, struggles to explain it.
Harrison gives a performance on stage, and Neil complains about each trick. He says that each illusion can be explained by science and then proceeds to explain each one. Frustrated, Harrison performs a trick that he calls the greatest illusion of all. He means to cast it on Neil but accidentally casts it on Max, who is standing next to Neil.
Regardless of its target, the trick confuses Neil, who struggles to explain how it could have been performed. Meanwhile, Max is traumatized by the effects that the trick had on him. Meanwhile, Nikki, enthralled by Harrison's magic, becomes his apprentice.
Neil tries to convince Nikki to get Harrison to teach her the trick, however, he claims that it can only be performed by a level four magician. He also rubs it in by telling Nikki to tell Neil that the trick is easy to figure out if you are smart enough. This leads to Neil freaking out and trying to perform the trick on Nikki with science, even though he had never figured out how it was done.
"Mind Freakers" is an important Camp Camp episode as it is the first episode that Neil comes to realize that he can't explain everything that happens at the camp. With all the weird and wacky things that occur at Camp Campbell over to course of four seasons, that is a lesson that truly needed to be learned.
Final Verdict:
4½ out of 5
