A thoroughly entertaining tale about drumming and magic.
Charlie and Stef are best mates - and they both have new hobbies. Charlie was annoyed by his elderly neighbour Beryl's noisy drumming - until she let him have a go. Now he's practising all the time - and Beryl thinks he might one day be as good as she is!
Stef is also doing a lot of practising - he's an assistant in the local magic show and needs to hone his skills to perfection - after all, that Indian Rope Trick doesn't come easily! But when Beryl is ripped off by a conman, the boys have to work out yet another new skill - how to help poor Beryl get her money back!
