This is a Disney cartoon that features three of its biggest stars: Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy. Mickey is a stage magician, performing all sorts of tricks from cards to rabbits, while Goofy is his stagehand. Sitting in the box in the audience is Donald, heckling at Mickey for what he thinks are childish tricks until Mickey uses his magic on him.
This is a hilarious cartoon short from start to finish and it is funny to see all three characters interact, especially how Mickey tries to counterattack the heckling Donald, resulting in endless funny scenes from Donald spitting our cards to shrinking to a size smaller than an egg. Goofy is his usual goofy self, trying to work all the gadgets without getting entangled in the stage ropes. You'll probably be roaring with laughter in how it all ends.
It's a show full of magic and misadventures - comical, delightful and fun for the entire family!

The Three Stars in a hilarious cartoon!
Most every cartoon lover agrees that Don Duck should be . . .
. . . shot. This foul fowl rubs pretty much everyone the wrong way, with his obnoxious me-first attitude, anti-social temper tantrums and unintelligible ranting. Don Duck certainly provides a perfect template for his most famous namesake, America's penultimate Oval Office Occupant. MAGICIAN MICKEY does blast his frequent nemesis, though not exactly in the way viewers would most appreciate. Mickey shrinks the babbling blabbermouth down to ammo size, and shoots him OUT OF his blunderbuss musket revolver. I guess you cannot expect the moon from the Dizzy dolts.
Evidence of why I love Mickey, Donald and Goofy so much
I completely agree with anyone who says Magician Mickey is one of the better Mickey Mouse shorts, if not the best. It is funny, enormously entertaining, and even after multiple viewings you can never grow tired of it. I do think the pace is a tad too fast, but other than that, it is all a delight to watch. Pinto Colvig, Walt Disney and Clarence Nash voice Goofy, Mickey and Donald(who is absolutely hilarious here) to perfection. The Technicolour animation is very fine, and the music score is lively. The plot is brisk and simply told, about Mickey performing magic tricks, Donald starts interrupting the proceedings and Mickey decides to humiliate him. This is clear evidence why I love this lovable trio of Toons so much. 9/10 Bethany Cox
