What do you get when you put an Indian head penny into a mysterious old box? A magical adventure involving two young boys --- Cole and Pete --- separated in life by over a century of time! It all starts when Cole, a not-so-brave, fun-loving kid, explores the abandoned attic of his old house. Inside a secret closet, he discovers a small but magical wooden box. In the blink of an eye, Cole is transported with the magic box back in time. There, he meets Pete, a boy about his own age, who has a huge problem. Pete wants to become a real magician! He needs Cole's help to meet Wiley Wilhaca, the Master Magician. The fun continues when they outsmart a bunch of bullies, trick a restaurant owner to get yummy food, and sneak a ride on a train where they finally meet Wiley Wilhaca. In the events that follow, Pete becomes an apprentice to Wiley and learns to say magic words that make Cole's magic box disappear. Without the magic box, Cole has no way to get home! Cole and Pete discover the real secret behind Wiley's awesome powers. But is it too late? Will Pete follow Wiley's plan to make him a great magician? If he doesn't, he risks being cursed! Does Cole possess the bravery required to free Pete from Wiley's powers? If he fails, he will be stuck back in time and, together with Pete, share the fate of being cursed forever!
