At a magic seminar, Frank and Joe Hardy find themselves in a real-life mystery when valuable items disappear from the hotel safe. As the teen detectives delve deeper, they must unravel the secrets behind the vanishing acts before they, too, disappear forever. Can they solve the case in time, or will this magical mystery prove too elusive?
