    Vanishing Act

    Alex and Leonard are stranded in the small town of Cryerville, California and use their magic skills to prevent a group of thieves from perpetrating an elaborate hoax. The hoax involves invisible mystery of lights in the night sky which makes people its aliens landing- next minute the folk vanish ...

    There's a good cast in this episode with Robert Fuller playing a sheriff who winds up the local doctor- Kathleen Lloyd- and naturally their feeling thaw to one other. It's a well paced episode, fun and the two leads got great chemistry and there's some touching scenes too.
